Zombie Bites!!!!!

[DeadMeat]

So zombie bites might be something you want to look at. The issue I have found is a zombie bite through bullet proof armored vests, one bite on a 100% durability vest grants you a bite and breaks the vest. This turn of events doesn't exactly make sense, I don't deny the vest could be damaged by a bite but not all the way through it making contact with skin. This might be something you want to look into because it is very annoying to have this happen as a player.

Yes. Are you sure the bite 'hit' the vest area? And; not in an unprotected lesser garment area?

If so.... yes... bites on bullet proof vests don't make sense at all.

Bite hit the vest damaged it and player character received damage.

Weird. I will try to test this out as I play.

It SHOULD be, were after the vest takes enough damage; then 'attacks' can get through easier. Because the condition of the vest (clothes/ armor) is more eroded (ruined). So bites and scratches can get through easier.

Check the health of your vest? Was is fairly 'new' or already fairly damaged? Before that foul bite occured.

Brand new military vest and I had it happen to me with brand new police vest as well.

Yes, odd.
That needs to be addressed then. For the sake of realism and immersion. But also just so that we can properly protect ourselves better against the 'all too often' infected bites.

So I've been watching someone play when this happened:

Zombie was banging on one half of double door, they tried to hit it through the other open half, but instead got grabbed and bitten in upper torso all the way through Bulletproof vest, Leather jacket, Denim shirt, ripping through them all and the 100% defense they provided.

That was kinda sad after 2 months of surviving in Apocalypse mode and 3k zombies killed.

That is extremely progressive. The 2 months. But; more so the 3k kills!
