Stealth Kills

[McWillis]

I play on PC i was wondering how do you stealth kill zombies with a blade? i cant figure it out.

[etwas]

hold up your blade with rmb, execute with lmb from behind.
quiet footwear, rain and crouching towards the infected helps to not trigger them.

It's a little glitchy. I notice that if you try to draw your knife from the crouch position (which you'll likely be in to get behind the zombie) - it will often just slash instead of assassinate. If you stand before hitting RMB, it seems to work most of the time.

Keep in mind zombies have "spider-sens" when you stay behind them for too long they will notice you.
Also the stealth kills are sometimes bugged, just like the whole game, after so many, many years... ;/

I noticed that most of the people that play the game are foreigners. It's like, Americans has known DayZ sucks for a long time to everyone has moved on. Meanwhile in other countries, they're just discovering DayZ, and these niches from all over the world contribute to make the bulk of the DayZ community.

Also means that most of people you're playing with are 200+ ping on average because they live further away.

Its only works, when the zombie is unaware of you!

I swear I've backstabbed zombies after their first stage of awareness (before they shriek and are directly pursuing you).

Your comment has 0 sense. DayZ is developed in Czech Republic and has nothing to do with USA. Even more, it always was more popular in EU than USA.

Do you know what regional servers mean? Who live further away, from what? Wtf you are saying xD Normal players play on their region servers and don't have problems.
You will have 200+ ping if you are dumb enough to play on server that are 7000km away from you. Or you have really bad internet. Both are your problems.

Has the zombie silent kill animation been removed? I approach zombies from behind and there is no silent kill option like last year (I haven't played a bit) ???[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcPbTmN7iWs]

[ast]

silent kills work fine, animations also and iirc there never was an option for silent kills.
you just have to approach them from behind until you're in arm's length reach.

It's a matter of timing if you're not close enuff for the silent kill you will slash instead..it's a matter of keep working with it cuz I will tell you doing stealth kills is awesome

[Mike]

its OK now... i just forgot how to do this
