fluffe9911 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I personally never survived a bite before and I wonder how other people do. Johnny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyukIsGod Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I've been bitten/scratched by zombies about 10 times since starting the game in 2013 and have survived around 90% of the time.Usually become crippled for a while with illness but can then move again like normal.

Jela331 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I survived only one bite so far. In build 23 I think? Johnny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnmotivatedZombie Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I've survived in sandbox by constantly disinfecting the wound and using sterile bandages as soon as i get away from or eliminate the zombie(s) that did it. I usually die anyway later, but from other things like accidentally pushing the "use" key while looking at a second/third/fourth story guide rail or window (trying to reload.) I did nerf the zombies a little (slower and less attentive, because I suck,) but I usually keep the transmission setting on blood and saliva.   when the Molotovs come back, I'm going to burn down the whole map for shiggles, so I'm probably not going to improve anytime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panicsferd Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I never have and to tell you the truth I even have a bad track record with scratches - so far on 4-5 different characters that have gotten scratched by zombies they all got infected.

Footmuffin Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I've survived four bites, once in fall 2013, twice last year, and once last February. I've got no clue on how to improve your chances aside from give your survivor appropriate medical care and make sure they have had something to eat.

SillyandStrange Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 99% of the time a scratch heals just fine for me. 0% of the time a bite heals. If I'm feeling like a nice guy, I jump off a ledge... If I feel like a cackling maniac, I eat a majority of food while sticking my tongue out at my friends. ...Usually they kill me before the bite. migulao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Wasn't even aware it was possible to survive a bite. As soon as I get that little message saying bitten, I go to the bathroom and grab all the bleach I can find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evilwuun Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 My friend get bitten and scratched, he get infected from scratch.. If I may be so bold, how do you know it was the scratch that caused the infection? I'm guessing you saw the "infected" tag on the scratch in the first aid window? If that's the case, I can tell you that the "infected" tag is not indicative of the zombie virus. As far as I know, there is no way to tell if you have the zombie virus other than looking out for the symptoms. It won't show up in your first aid window.

Fryhizzle Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I have never survived a bite. Â It might have to do with the fact that I am usually bit more than once. Â I guess what I am saying is I prefer crowds when mingling with the undead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurex Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I actually survived two bites. The first time I had already been bitten when it started raining and I got a cold. I think that somehow, that cold overwrote the zombification disease and healed up naturally. The second time... surrounded by zombies, one of them took off a chunk of my lower leg... I managed to lose them amidst the buildings in Muldraugh... found a couple of bottles of disinfectant and used them all on the bite, then bandaged it and ate so much I kept the very well fed moodlet for a week. The bite healed without infecting me, and two days later I died falling from a window. Hehe. CaptKaspar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies for the misinformation.  It just says Infection in what seems like a quicker time than a non zombie infected scratch. The only way to know truly is when it says ZOMBIFIED on the medical screen instead of OK - Slightly Hurt - etc. And if you've contracted the virus, normally you never hit OK after bandaging/disinfecting.  It'll stay around "Slightly Hurt."
