I'll be trying this when I get home from work, looks like a great laugh to be had. I did the old pre-order then activate via Indonesia VPN trick so I hope I get it for free.

Nice, might have to play the DLC now - im hoping this game has a sequel and they make it a bit more organic with regards to zombies spwnaing etc

 

[elrasho]

I want to be able to build barricades and weld doors like in Killing Floor and COD Zombie mode

 

[mehuk]

It would be cool to be like a real survival horror - tonnes of NPC characters that are human and all trying to survive like everyone else, yet they can be zombied if bitten etc

Not sure if that would be everyones cup of tea, but would be cool trying to survive it out in a huge city.. not knowing whats out there, but needing to get food, meds etc and moving on to objectives..

Anyone having problems with the DLC? I can’t seem to enter the DLC area it just ends up going back to the menu

 

[ToejaM]

Cheapest place for this atm?

 

[elrasho]

OK it's showing as unlocked now but how do I actually go about playing it? I cant see a "blood bath" option anywhere??

Top of the resort bit of the map, through the tunnel iirc.

you can chop limbs off now? Has the game been updated since launch to allow you to do this?

Been able to do it with every weapon, but the axe seems to do it on nearly every hit

You've always been able to with blade weapons.

Machetes are great for hacking off limbs

[G18241]

Generally easier to lop their head off to be fair

My US steam friend bought this for me while it was in newegg for $10. I'm level 39 and I'm just learning how to dodge n weave in melee cause I picked the throwing speciality.

I have resigned to leaving 1 item slot open otherwise u can lose a weapon picking up a medkit/alchohol/molotov if you don't have room, in addition to the precarious nature of throwing weapons only to find u can't pick it back up. Part of the tension really, not knowing if u could lose you freshly modded orange weapon.

I had an idea to see if I could lose a weapon by throwing it at an npc next to a wall, bad idea espcially as I had just upgraded and modded an orange bolo stick (not correct name). U can lose them on slopes and stairs.
