Flies start buzzing around my living character?

[emmietiie]

This just happened to me on an official server. I went to my stash, and flies suddenly started buzzing, and could be seen in the inventory screen over my character. There were no bodies in the area.

I moved my stash to another location, and it started again when I placed the barrel down. As if the game wasn't creepy enough. Has this happened to anyone else? It started after the servers were down today.

wait... is this a Halloween update?

my character too die

Tsk, my character's face was fully covered by a ski mask and NVG. I could have gone days without noticing if the flies didn't appear.

I'm trying to hide 30 grenades so I'm a little jumpy...

I'm all for them adding seasonal things but this is just a bit meh. It's not cool, funny or anything. Just annoying. Surely adding some Halloween masks would be so much better? Imagine how dope it would be running around in a Michael Myers mask and his boiler suit?

It has saved my life when heard the flies and knew there was a player in the building I was about to enter but dam it is SO annoying when ever I am standing still in hideout organizing my stuff....I kinda hate it to be honest

This too is happening to me I thought it was a bug or something everytime I'm to still for to long flies start spawning.

i dont like this event

I think its meant to be irritating. Swarms of flies tend to be. Reminds me of backpacking in the west coast of Scotland. Makes me wish I had not forgotten some Deet.

I like it. Not only is it an incentive to keep moving but it also give away the position of other players. Things like this should happen to sedentary players around ponds/rivers/deployed tents, every evening.
