Zombie Plans-Revised

[Wisp]

An Olympic sprinter would run faster than most zombies, probably faster than we could run, but not as fast as it was before since, in such high level sports, you have to use special techniques to run as fast as they do, and zombies wouldn't remember that. They'd still run damn fast though.

[Wisp]

Ok, let's, just for the hell of it, say that rage zombies might last for 1-2 years. And we don't know why they don't starve or whatever, let's just say. What do we do? They can climb as well as an ordinary person (but they have limits), they run, but they don't require a headshot.

We stick to to the same plan as Romero zombies. Except with more automatic weapons.

[Wisp]

The problem with that is that these guys can climb. So if there's a ten foot wall, they could get up that. If there's a window five feet off the ground, they could probably get through it if they break the glass.

[gauper_kid]

So we're basically dealing with the same zombies, except they're more coordinated, but harder to kill? :-k This will be tough. I guess we could always go to an isolated island and just wait it out.

[Wisp]

Razor wire might hurt them, but it wouldn't kill them flat out. They could get through it.

 

And we're dealing with different zombies. They can run, climb, are more coordinated, but easier to kill (technically, the faster moving speed would make it harder, but headshots are not required). Also it's easier to get infected if we're going by the 28 days/weeks/months later type.

[ember3579]

So, it's like this...

 

 

 

Detriments of Rage Zombies: a LOT faster than Romero Zombies, stronger, more coordinated (can climb stuff as effectively as a human), has a working cardiovascular system (can regenerate and bleeds like normal), and infects people almost instantly

 

 

 

Benefits of Rage Zombies: die a LOT faster on their own than Romero Zombies, can be killed using conventional methods (except pain overload, they can pretty much ignore anything short of being set on fire), gets exhausted (I think, not sure), and doesn't have as improved senses as Romero Zombies

 

 

 

Sound about right?

Like I said earlier. Killing them would literally drive you insane unless you kill them instantly. Imagine seeing a person run through razor wire, bleeding and screaming their heart out. Now picture you seeing that dozens of times, possibly people you know. People have been haunted and scarred for life by screams of the dying, these would be no exception. An insant kill is damned near nessecary.

 

 

 

Oh, would poisons work on rage zombies?

[walka92]

probably depends on the poisonm but im no expert on the subject there. id say just stick with the shoot the crap outa them before they reach you, rather than trying to poison them

Im thinking if we could gas them if their was a crowd.

I'm thinking blowguns would be an effective weapon if we had some sort of immobilizing poison. And that whole haunting thing doesn't really happen when said bleeding dying preson is running at you with bloodlust in their eyes.

 

 

 

Meh. Hearing the screams would still suck.

At worst, a few people would break down from ptsd. Assuming we aren't fighting an army nonstop for weeks at a time most of our group would be able to fight. If we hide out with only a few people needed for guard at a time, a day off of combat would keep most people in good mental shape.

 

 

 

I don't think poison is a good idea; unless you can make something that is lethal near instantly you will still end up having to shoot the zombie when it runs at you.

[Wisp]

If you were stuck with nothing but some blowguns and darts and poison, by all means, use them, but otherwise they would only be useful if you were in an area where they couldn't get to you. Because they're unwieldy, difficult to aim, have limited range, a long reload time, and many other problems. If you're actively fighting zombies with only a blowgun, a easier way out would be to drink the poison yourself.

I don't care about any of that...

 

 

 

Once a person becomes a zombie, they no longer exist as far as I'm concerned.

I agree with Ross. They are no longer the person you knew, or the person anyone knew. It's you or them, if you can't take it then you'll die anyway. Zombie outbreaks are no time for mental breakdowns. The people who couldn't take it will die out too soon to be of any use.

[Guest]

I could take it fine. Hell, the best way of surviving is encountering as little as possible. It's likely we won't even see one, if we do it right.

I would put on some chainmail, grab one of those portable backpack music players, and sword and shield, and blast All Along the Watchtower while I sliced and diced my way to death.

Little heavy for recommended armour but atleast it's better than most 'plans' people have. Backpack is a good start, carry some food with you. One thing we can't stress enough is the main point should be to avoid zombies. Fight the ones you must, leave the rest.

 

 

 

I think this quote from Auron on FFX sums it up perfectly:

Cut the ones that matter and run.

Nono, the backpack would only be for the music while I chop. I don't plan on surviving any apocalyptic event (let's be realistic), so I'd rather go out in the craziest way possible - in this case running around fighting zombies with a sword.

Yeah, why die as a coward sitting in your basement when you can go out as a [bleep] ing badass with a bloody sword in your hands?

Being a coward and being smart are two different things. And a basement would be a bad idea btw.

I just thought of something. What do we do if we come across a person who, for some odd reason, is infected and hasn't had any of the detrimental effects of the zombie virus occur (in other words, they control the infection rather than vice versa)? Chances are, the virus will still be transmittable and have the same effects as normal, but still. Would we keep them around in some hope that we might be able to create a vaccine of sorts, or what?

Too dangerous.

 

 

 

You do have some options though:

 

 

 

A) Leave them behind

 

B) Kill them

 

C) Avoid them

 

D) All of the above

[Nero]

Kill 'em obviously.

If we're assuming Rage Virus, then we should actually take them.

 

 

 

The virus only takes about 20 seconds to take over, and if someone only has the eyes, but nothing else, then we could isolate them, and keep them protected in order to help create a vaccine.

 

 

 

Anyway, regarding an earlier post on fire vs Rage, I saw some of the film last night (Would have watched it all, but got caught at 5am) and those bastards will keep running at you while on fire.

 

 

 

Fire is only a viable choice when they can't get to you, and the fire can't do damage.
