anyone else getting killed by dynamic contaminated zones?

[mario]

second time this week i'm looting a military area and suddenly they become contaminated. with no protection obviously you're dead within 20 minutes but there's no way to anticipate if a military area is going to be struck by those dynamic contamination areas. kinda sucks, wish you'd get some sort of warning

[Enforcer]

When you hear a boom in the distance ...RUN..
It isn't "suddenly". You get enough warning time beforehand.

[Envy The Dead]

there are several warnings for it, the guns going off first then a big fire ball in the sky then the blast in the area

[Longhaul]

Literally 3 warnings before the gas hits.

I got caught once. I was lucky to be near the tail end and got out with 2 bleeds and with a bloodbag and bandage I lived.

I think it is just like everything else. You get used to it, learn from ur mistakes and adapt. I know some people dont like the toxic zones, But I have not been hearing a lot of complaints about deaths. Some sure but it does not seem widespread.

Nope, havent been killed by one even once yet. One time i had to drive through one, it was just maybe 10 seconds inside of the cloud. I got one or two bleeds and nothing more, patched them after exiting the zone and good to go. That was the only time i was even in the smoke. I rarely find myself in towns/villages so that is probably the reason.

There are at least two warnings to an imminent attack on a dynamic zone. For I minute before the attack there will be a red flare in the sky above the zone as a visual warning. Then when the incoming shells are destined for your zone the screetch of shells and explosion is totally un-mistakable and then you have 20-30 seconds to run free of the area. If the zone is near the map edge you will also hear the artillery firing( loud Booms) so you should at least go outside and check for a red flare if you know you are in a dynamic zone.

Anyone having the issue where the area is gassed but no green mist, so players walk right in

[Topher]

There are plenty of clues ot the dynamic attack.

If you see the red flare in the sky or at night more likely you woder why the buildings take onon a red tinge then get out of town now or if you are in a spot hiding form players get ready to run as soon as you hear the screetch and run 150m away from the flare or the shell air burst. If you sprint you can easily dodge it, and if you are in a town with a tall buildig go to the 2nd floor and you will be above the gas and can sit out the next 30+35 miutes safe

Topher, thanks for responding. I understand what you are saying. I am trouble shooting as a server host. I am referencing a situation where a player walks into a already gassed area where there is no green fog indicating a gassed area.

Your description has an uncanny similarity to the gas zones my dog produces.
Invisible
Toxic
Deadly

Around the edges of the gassed zones there is an eb and flow of the gas animation. I have probed that edge and been inside iside the cloud and not taken damage but if you are on the inner ege of that buffer type ed and flow area you can take damage and at times think you are just about clear,

I think during the last five minutes of a dynamic gas attack the zone radius starts to reduce towards it´s epicentre and the gas decays so mabe that was what was experieced that the gas zone was reducing in radius and there was a desync between the aimation and the actufal affected zone

all i know is, if i hear a gas bomb explode overhead my location i just start running. i have gotten the coughs while still in the gas cloud many times, but have yet to actually get sick or die. you have a small amount of time to get clear before you really get sick.

[MercuryMoon]

LOL I asked for it as soon as I said "Gas"...

@Topher you sure this is not a server mod? the red flare? i have never seen this red flare you speak of.
