Subscribing increases your chances of surviving a zombie apocalypse by 100x :)
200% chance of survival then!
Gonna say something here so you probably see it but. What if there's random sprinters among the shamblers like from a shambler train one of them just fuckin SPRINTS for no reason
0 x 100 is still 0 :(
0% chance x 100% still 0% 😢
Hey Mr Beaver I have a question. Can we please get a mod list please.
Having the Random Zombies mod situation in a zombie pandemic would certainly fuck over many of us.
Basically zom 100
I would survive long bec in Namibia people live 30+miles from each other so it doesn't spread fast
every single zombie on earth walks except for one which sprints around lightning fast
@@BiggestBaddestBeaver The zombie was previously known as Usain Bolt.
Also your machetes per person are pretty high@@dejanliebenberg5731
If we get a left 4 dead zombie apocalypse, we are all screwed
Dying light zombies: 😛
Epecially when you think about how the green flu is both airborn and maybe in the meat. You're either immune/carrier or boned.
@@1ts3ricknah man left 4 dead zombies are so much worse, they’re fast, agile, and smart enough to climb and jump to get to people, that doesn’t even include special infected like the tank
There a special infected in Dying Light as well lol, both would be terrible @@viperlabs7735
L4d2 zombi are built different
The people can get infected with just air from other people wtf
In a zombie apocalypse, walking zombies are least trouble you'll face. It's always the other humans that reduce your survival chance from 90% to 9%
Only in US
@julmart5154 even outside the US. Maybe they won't shoot you in the face. But that doesn't mean they can't bash you're face in instead.
@@julmart5154ah yes because everyone knows violence, fear, and greed only exist in the US
@@Monkeylighthouse il talk about firearms. Yes you are à country with some crazy murder stats
@@julmart5154 and what do you think those stats are? Because I feel like it's a lot lower than you think it is.
Sadly I lack the number 1 rule of a zombie apocalypse. Cardio.
Zombieland reference good one
and i don't have any ziploc bags
Get it then
I dunno man I feel like the movies would be wrong as hell. How do you know the zombies don't become extremely slow, but at the same time extremely smart? Then yeah you could easily walk away from them, but at the same time they're just playing 4d chess hoarding all the humans in one spot to eat them in a big feast.
@@DETHdressedInRED Volatile from Dying Light's reaction to that information:
"We're gonna be chill"
*Seeing a Volatile sprint right to your house at 70 km/h*
Thing with volatiles are they are smart as a wolf pack they will not attack you if you just stay out of their line of sight and respect their zones you will have more trouble with virals then a volatile
Good night good luck :)
run boy run
@@michaelanimations3308the great reference
@@michaelanimations3308The song is a banger ngl
Not to mention, over time, the zombies would just end up rotting to nothing. All it takes is time, patience, and some basic survival skills
A disease can make someone look zombie like but for it to happen irl the infected would still have to be alive and besides being very easy to put down weather would end it before it actually did anything barring of course if the disease was modified if so we’d be screwed.
@@curiousentertainment3008 if they were living "zombies" they would still need to eat then so after a couple weeks they'd just die of starvation. Also they'd probably need to drink water too if they were still living
@@Aymungoos that too
@@Aymungoos
Unless it's the Days gone infection. In which the infected are more like feral humans.
They hunt other animals like deer and stuff, have family units like packs, eat berries, and have been observed to use tools and wear jewelry even. Infected rabid humans but they retain basic lizard brain intelligence.
As I said in a similar comment, there would be a constant supply of new zombies from humans dying. So you’d have zombies on a countdown to when they’re “dead dead” but you’d still have functioning ones.
If the zombies decay like normal dead people, just outlast them.
The problem is, mainstream media zombie could last years without food, just hibernate
@@Bren.nto6971 yep, that is why the first part of surviving a zombie apocalypse is to stay indoors and observe what kind of undead you are facing. That is if you are not outside when the outbreak started. If it is airborne like the ones from L4D, immunity is the main part of survival. No immunity is an immediate death sentence.
@@Bren.nto6971Whats to say vultures just won’t eat them?
@@Bren.nto6971that's because those are just movies zombies we are talking about rl!!
We would have to observe for a while and learn about them. But yes if they decompose at a normal rare we would only have to hold out for a few months. 6 tops.
People don't realize it's all a battle of attrition because eventually the bodies would decompose so much that it would be too weak and collapse, zombies wouldn't be able to move after a few months
Assuming it's a living-dead situation
Yeah that's literal necromancy though so not a realistic situation to plan for.
Unless they're the self preserving infected from Days Gone. Those dastardly would probably outlast us.
@@IcchiNutz no virus will do that, only drugs will do that affect
@@percyjackson3311 it's not realistic so it wouldn't happen
As we saw in TWD, the problem wouldn't be the zombies per se, it would be other survivors
We are them and they are us.
Google: have fun till the end
Bing: slavery!
Why cant everyone Unite and rebuild society?
@@GloriG_C17 if we have trouble making peace right now, it would be near impossible in an apocalypse
@@GloriG_C17 The same people have been dividing us since the dawn of human civilization.
“We’re chillin”
The zombies grabbing his backpack:
E
They probably need his class notes
That's actually why you can easily kill or throw away several zombies at one punch , they are just that weak
Method of infection is honestly more important because things like mosquitoes and ticks exist and that’s two of the methods of infection most commonly depicted
oh shit, you're right. Malaria and dengue are still a thing and both are inoculated by mosquito bites. Imagine you fall asleep in summer with your windows open and next day you wake up with a countdown clock on your arm
Flies. Landing on your food, contaminating it. You can look at how ants handle zombies made by the Cordyceps fungus. After they detect the infected ants, warrior ants take them far away and kill them, then another batch of warrior ants go and kill the first batch and exile themselves to die... This is an example of real life zombie fighting from nature...
In a zombie apocalypse, you only really have to survive for like half a year. In winter the tissue would literally just freeze until it breaks of and in summer the remaining tissue would fall of the bones due to rotting.
Thanks fam
Depends on the location, not everywhere temperatures drop reliably below 0°C
@@nahuelleandroarroyo Well, that doesn't change the fact that bacteria is active at everything above 10°C, so even if it not freezing, the zombies would still rot away.
@@JoJoGaminG36 Then: Moskito zombie!
Dying Light Volatiles: *Your free trial of existence has ended*
Yeah no if they run I’m clocking out
If they run, im also running (off a bridge)
i literally made drunk plans for different causes of the zombie viruses most ended with me in the arctic circle with improvised firearms and explosives
My family knows a guy who would 100% survive a zombie apocalypse if he survived day one, the guy is an expert at shooting, is a locksmith, can hunt and prepare food from stuff he has hunted and he can unlock cars as well. He has more skills I haven’t mentioned but basically he has maxed out the survival skill tree
Does he make videos of that stuff, would be good to see that
@@tarkovbear6651 nah he just does shooting as a hobby/job on the side of his normal stuff
@@rodrodrodrodrod gotta admit, would be awesome if he made thise vids
So basically every one in the army? That’s just basic survival skills
@@MyNameIsSalohow is that basic?
He makes the point that nobody wants to mention8ng how if the zombies can.run.there stamina scale will be practically inxistent meaning hundreds of zombies could far outrun any being like nothing
Zombies would still have to burn energy. And considering theyd likely be not consuming food as consistently as the average living human, I’d imagine their stamina would probably be significantly worse than the average person’s
Their legs would probably fall off.
@@bobjohnson1096 that too lol
@@bobjohnson1096 yep, that’s why low population sprinters is pretty accurate to real life zombies if it were to happen, because of the sprinters needing to burn so much energy it very quickly would lead to most dying from dehydration, starvation, or a heat stroke, the low population just helps account for the deaths, especially with respawns off
@@noahdaanimalguy7673 Yeah a real zombie apocalypse wouldn't last very long if they aren't smart enough to drink water.
Imagine a group of volatiles from dying light running past your window at 50mph (or 80kph)💀
It's mainly about zombie intelligence. If they're TWD-stupid - not even runners would be too much of a problem, cause irl they'd be way more limited by biology anyway.
If they're sentient on a Crossed level - fuck that, I'm pulling a Cobain on day 1.
TWD is scarier than people realise because everyone is already infected. As long as the brain remains intact the possibility of new zombies is constant
@@IcchiNutz literally a non-issue. Stay in tight groups and instantly disable dead group members.
Also I was talking about TWD zombies only intelligence-wise. Mechanically it's not something we can consider as irl scenarios, cause TWD zombies are literally working on magic.
@@IcchiNutzI feel like that's not much of a problem and society would still be able to function properly, of course I'm assuming that the zombification only trigger once you die I don't know much about TWD
@@IcchiNutzyeah, that’s not a problem, it’s possible to even make a device that will explode your brain if you die.
@@randomnobody8713 That's right, everyone in that verse is basically infected, the Bite doesnt really "Transform" you, it just kills you, because goddamn those fucking zeds are radioactive as fuck, if You die and your brain is intact, then you're gonna get up wanting some brains & shit.
The thing that everyone keeps forgetting is that there's no way the military could get overrun by zombies. Realistically, you're telling me that a walking corpse, will take down a highly trained armed officer?
Even if, let say the walkers took over a whole city before the higher ups could do anything. These soldiers would clean it up in a matter of days.
I like the idea of an apocalypse but i kinda get annoyed when i hear people talking about how it gonna happen one day. No it won't.
Wow that was quite the rant
But here's the thing my guy, imagine if some of the military soldiers themselves turned into zombies, that's what makes it dangerous
@@Clownk1ller the other soldiers would just shoot the zombies, a group of soldiers with firearms can take down a dumb slow moving corpse lol
Yeah, ain't now way the military can't deal with walkers zombie. But if we are talking runners or sprinter types, then it could go awry fast
@@Wafflss Exactly
@@celvinardenwu5382 True that
I always use Shawn of the Dead as my “Real Life Zombie ‘Apocalypse’” example. If I’m at ground zero, I think I’m basically screwed. Best chance I have is to hole up somewhere out of the way and pray for evac by the feds. However, I’m fairly confident that the military would mostly contain the issue to one Quarantine Zone, if not basically crush it outright.
Yeah not unless the military bombed your place to contain the spread of the virus
Resident Evil zombie durability + WWZ sprint = rip humanity
+l4d2 agility
Mosquitoes would kill us all in a zombie apocalypse
Flies. Flies would kill us all. That fly that landed on your sandwich was just walking on a zombies eyeball five minutes ago....
@@anonymouse2675 that's what I'm saying, ZERO prep could prepare your for things like birds and bugs.
@@cheeseybreezy518 Amen!
I still die within 5 minutes every time. A horde just instantly breaks into my starting house, or the game spawns like 6 zombies behind a locked bathroom door.
Imagining you trying to stab a zombie with those arms got me laughing
Most zombie stuff has the wrong method of killing them with a knife. ALWAYS go under the chin which PZ has correct.
I don't know, it should be a long knife, if it's small you won't reach the brain
@@R4in46 Mine will! LOL!
Why use a knife as a weapon ever at all? Spears, we used them for thousands of years for war and hunting alike, it's also the easiest weapon to use apart from a club and it's just a sharp pole, very easy to make or find.
@@Chroma710 If I had to pick between a case hardened steel knife and a makeshift spear Id definitely go with the knife, more versatile, more durable, and more concealable 🤷♂️
he described a zombie apocalypse as if it was natural selection
Do you mean like the Cordyceps fungus in ants? Cause that's real life natural selection.
@@anonymouse2675 that's a parasite, natural selection is something else.
In real life, most of the zombies would be getting slower and slower since their body would eventually stop producing nutrients and so. My bet is that in around two weeks of camping in your house, most of the zombies would be harmless and really slow crawlers.
But the thing is that there is a constant wave of new zombies, supplied by humans who perished. So unless everyone is doing the same thing, you’ll just have zombies with a limited life. And you’ll have to go out at some point.
@@PoseidonGodthe problem is that plague numbers plateau. After a certain point, it’s highly likely that the infestation can’t reach new hosts, as the hosts are in the hell known as greenlabd
There's a game in which the infected actually eat (both plants and meat), drink, and sleep. The game is called Days Gone, and the infected there are called Freaks. They use pheromones located on their feces in order to mark areas with water or feeding grounds. Stronger, faster, tougher, and rabid, these infected would humble most zombie game survivors.
The biggest problem in this situation is food and water. It doesn't produce itself and does not last forever
@@percyjackson3311those are the type of infected that should not happen if an apocalypse happens. Them and any overly jacked or runner zombie.
Me if an apocalypse started:"me who lost 780 ranked matches in a row" Rip an tear
Zombies irl wouldn’t be threatening because except for the pretty fresh ones, the decayed ones wouldn’t be able to really move, or survive any form of trauma, and would probably just fall over and neutralise themselves without us interfering
When the zombie apocalypse happens we will have multiple different depictions of zombies fighting each other
Y’all should start hitting that cardio 😂
Fatties will die of first like in Zombieland
Yeah no amount of cardio is saving u from the zombies from WWZ. Unless you’re Usain Bolt, good luck
Honestly in real life after like a few days the flesh and muscles of the zombies would rot so bad that the lightest kick to their legs would make them unable to run or walk so their basically not a threat
Honestly sprinting zombies are a mixed bag
The sprinting zombies in a game like Dying Light feel alot more dangerous then the runners from The last of us
Because the runners from last of use aren't that strong. The runners from dying light are stronger than a normal person
@@daviddeda1093cuz rabies and shit
Dying light is easy to survive, UV light. Because in every game aiden or crane has a barely working stuttering UV flashlight, if it was fully working and not stuttering then the game would be too easy. So get a fully functioning UV flashlight, dont go out at night, avoid making noise not to attract virals. Simple as
@@SkydivingChiken minus the UV light handicap, the dying light zombies would be a serious threat
@@daviddeda1093 yeah, but biters are slow. But virals are the real issue
I have an entire scenario sheet for every type of zombie apocalypse as well as an accompanying percentage of my survival rate, my family's survival rate, my town's survival rate, and the world's survival rate.
I was drunk, came up with the idea, and then acted on it when I was sober.
An apocalyptic World with only 10% of people like the John Wicks and the Jack Reachers that survive actually look like really good premise for a movie.
The zombies from 28 Days Later are the ones you want to look out for, they are crazy fast 😂 That movie was amazing though. The music made it 100x better.
It doesn't matter how dangerous the zombies are, if you don't know how to farm or find clean water you're dead within the week.
It's true that for every kind of apocalypse, our greatest enemies would be each other
The best survival strategy is to stay home for a few weeks until the zombies rot on their own.
A zombie Jack reacher and john wick movie would be so fucking good
Agreed
@@anasashraf2405 In Zombieland Columbus thought Tennessee hated zombies because they killed his dog, until he found out it was his son that they killed
Dying Light apocalypse and it's over for like everyone day one.
The thing about a zombie apocalypse is the biggest threat is not the zombies but the people
If they're runnin your left with the John Wicks, Jack Reachers, Master Chiefs and Doom Slayers lol
Luckily zombies are fleshy as hell. The only way I could see me going down day one is being caught lacking without ANY sort of ranged weapon, all I need is a sturdy pipe and assuming I’m not far from home, I can get the necessary supplies later. Stick to a group you trust and you’ll probably do better.
You're dying day one for sure
@@IcchiNutz for sure
I would consider the "being-fucked-o-meter" scale of zombies:
Walking Dead/NotLD < 28 Days/WWZ < Crossed
Because realistically, any zombification that essentially kills the host, will burn itself out fast. But if it just makes people into crazy murder hobos and they retain their intelligence, well- we're screwed.
Another worst case scenario is RE/TLoU/Girl with all the Gifts scenario where the infection enhances and sustains the host.
Just one big problem with setting zombies on fire is that the fire spreads to other things like yourself
someone mentioning jack reacher as a total menace is completely agreeable, that mf sees a pixel of dirt on your coat and he knows where you live, where you travel, if you smoke, if you're married and shit.
It’s circle strategy is used throughout call of duty zombies
I whould say I whould last 1 month. I am Dutch and not a lot of guns are here. I live in like a small average town (50k population here) I whould just hide in my apartment most of the time and just shelter up here. I whould block off the stairs and just live off with my 6 neighbor apartments... I think the real treat whould be other humans wanting to take our stuff. But this is all going off if like zombies act like PZ zombies. Yeah sprinters or more dangerous zombies etc etc probably a few days to a week.... I also live close to a hospital (like 1 minute walking distance so there could be 2 options.
A its overrun and dangerous as fuck
B made into some sort of military checkpoint/safe place
With option B I could survive very long. with option A I whould be fucked since its like 1 minute away from total chaos and probably loads of zombies near me.
Hoi! Ik zou dat ook doen, mijn appartement is hoog en dus goed om te barricaderen want als het overstroomd wordt door zombies kan ik gewoon via het dak naar een andere gaan, het grote probleem zou dan toch voedsel en water zijn
So you’re saying America is chilling.
I would be fine until I starve to death.
@@Buzzy_Blandlike in a line from the game "state of decay 2" gord as follows "we've lasted so long thanks to our guns and ammo making, imagine the lest fortunate ones, like in europe or south America"
I first thought could easily survive a zombie apocalypse, then I had two kids and a wife and realized love is the most potent negative trait to have.
Bro just the confusion and not knowing there's a zombie apocalypse going on is enough.
My solution would be to just never go outside again
but what if you run out of food / water?
@@BiggestBaddestBeaver Cannibalism
When you're a Mama's basement guy but you ate your mom because no food
@@BiggestBaddestBeaver Actually I just remembered there’s a gas station where they sell snacks a short walk away from my house, so I’d prob loot that for a while
Edit: horrendous spelling errors
@@nerd9777But you won’t be the only one. I hope you have weapons because someone wanting the same thing as you will.
Also. It matters how well you find weapons. Like walking dead where everyone just ahs shotguns pistols and bows. Or world war z where you have heavy m249's and barret 50 cal's
I don't think it would be easy to find them people would probably put up a fight.
your vocabulry is amazing. love how you describe things dubious creatures going to sleep lmao.
Really depends on what kind of zombies too.
Just reanimated corpses that are 1 punch away of 2nd death, or somethong driven by another creature, the last of us style, or a disease.
In a zombie apocalypse with walkers, the most dangerous thing would be humans, it would be something like The Walking Dead where all the episodes are based on disputes between humans.
Zombies would decay so fast they wouldn’t even be a problem for humanity
The real threat of a zombie apocalypse where zombies are this slow is how the disease spreads, If you can get it from drinking the wrong water, or rain or it just lingers in the air.. it becomes difficult to contain which is why PZ zombies eventually took over
Mfs think they be chillin in a zombie apocalypse until they see a volatile zoom by their window at mach 10 speed
If its sprinting zombies im commiting the second i see one
I think most people forget the mental challenge in a world full with zombies.
if they could open doors, i think i’d be alright. but if they figure out how to lift a garage door, i’m boned
Basic apocalyptic world type zombie virus: we chillin, easy
Any type of evolving zombie apocalypse: we ain’t chillin
Yeah i'm always have this thoughts and answer if zombies are exist.. "if they're the walking dead's zombie.. then we're good" but "if they're WWZ zombies? then we're dead AF"
“Zombies are walking, we chillin!”
*Sees at least 70 zombies*
“Well shit”
This question is very very nuanced theres are a ton factors you need to say before asking said question
"Dubious little creatures getting up to mischief, this is no good."
i love how the zombies just stick their hands in your backpack
2 weeks is the minimum, I’m staying inside my house till I run out of food and have to start scavenging other houses around me
You can tell with those tiny limp wrists he wouldn’t last any time at all in either situation
If they're runners, my answer would be: "How long before I can reach a loaded gun"
TLOU taught me that you can solve any problem with a molotov cocktail
Even worse: Can the zombies *parkour.*
Here's what people often forget.. do you have the STAMINA to do anything.
In a zombie apocalypse all of the sheltered physcopaths of society will show their colors
You guys remember that these are decaying flesh. You just need to hide with enough supplies to last for a couple of weeks since decaying flesh decomposes for that time.
God forbid Usaine Bolt is infected, you aint escaping that 😂
For some reason I have a feeling if we ever do have a zombie apocalypse, we're gonna have a mix of runners and walkers
Imagine yo ass jogging away from some walking zombies and all u hear is a Charger and a Hunter behind you 😭😭😭💀
"You are going to be left with the john wicks and jack reachers" yeah no shit this guy knows what he's talking about
in a zombie apocalypse the zombies will be your last concerns.
I remembered when a mod accidentally left on the zombies speed up to sprinters.
It was a dark time for all of us.
What if the zombies gained genius level brains, but lost their ability to move quickly.
If they're Dying Light Volatiles, humanity gets until nightfall
You’d have the John wicks, jack preachers and all the preppers we call crazy haha
It's good to know that in reality, a zombie apocalypse could be more of infected in baby position on the ground due to the brain infection and fever.
I love the fact that The Walking Dead game and show have basically given us the answer, but the biggest problem isn’t much the zombies but rather the people and overall survival aspect. With so little resources and everyone being desperate, you’d much rather worry about zombs than people any day.
If i were spawned in a world with nothing but walking zombies, i could survive. But if other people were around, id die in the first week in a shootout
If there's a zombie apocalypse, i would be the patient zero
Imagine going about your day and suddenly hearing the WAW zombies round change music
Who needs college when project zomboid helps us get an engineering degree by watching tv and reading books
I went to work without taking my pills for my concentration (since it also helps getting energy)
I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO ENDURANCE.
And playing Project Zomboid, I know that endurance is crucial.
The worst thing you have to really deal with in a zombie apocalypse is the smell. Its just decaying flesh everywhere. Plus, all the flies.
If I see a group of zombies running full sprint at me. I'm just accepting my fate and running straight to them because the quicker they get me the quicker my end is
Considering my family has panic attacks for someone leaving the fridge open or god forbid, correct/contradict them... I'm pretty sure I'll be the last one standing.
In a reanimation scenario, walking, in a mad cow disease scenario, fucking run faster.
Chillin in a real world zombie apocalypse because of walking zombies. No sweatin~ gets headshot by a troll with a sniper rifle on a roof.
I would just wait until the zombies muscles decompose to the point where they can’t move at all
If a zombie doesn't get me then starvation and bandits will.
