Cant outrun zombies

[Lactating Mu1e]

is this a thing now?

stable or experiemental? Stable still has humans outrunning zeds but not by much. Don't know about exp but hear the zeds are peppy. Keep you hands empty and be upright for max speed. Watch out for inclines that slow you down. I'll zigzag my way up or down a hill in order to maintain a full run.

just stable , nah i tried that...they used to fall behind but now they will keep chasing you at the same distance forever

Just have to find those fences in the middle of a field, or try running through buildings. Somehow slows em down.

As a new spawn step 1 make improvised knife step 2 go to any tree cut branch you are now armed with a zed killer step 3 poke zed until dead I hope this helps

If you run further enough you can outrun them

I've never been able to outrun zombies in this game. Getting aggro'd without a weapon is a death sentence. Getting aggro'd without a weapon in hand is inevitable wounds.
Been that way for a very, very long time.

There's no real reason not to be without a weapon now though.

You can craft 3 basic weapons, more or less, as soon as you spawn.

Run to the middle of a long fence that you can jump, a lot of the time, the zombie will not jump it and try to find the end - by that time you are gone. You can also collect them and lock them in barns, garages, etc.

What are you talking about? You can outrun zombies indefinitely. They can run faster than you until they are roughly 10 yards behind, then they slow to match your speed. Keep running and they'll never catch you.

Also, I love how everyone's answer is an exploit. Just jump over the 1 or 2 types of fences they haven't been told they can jump yet. I don't know, maybe try to develop a legit strategy for dealing with them as that method is a bug and will eventually get fixed.

Eh how is it an exploit, when we are able to jump fence's?

Day Z logic, Septic :).

Careful, it's scary out there.
