If all hell broke loose right now, what would you do?

Ra1th,

The best thing to do is stay the hell away from any zombie/infected/creature at all costs. If you HAVE to be out and about, then you're best bet is a sword or crowbarish type weapon.
IF the only way you can destroy one of them is a head shot, then 95% of us are dead! Head shots on stationary targets are hard as hell. Military and Law enforcement are taught to shoot center mass. Why? Because head shots are damn near impossible. Try it when you're scared as hell, your arms are shaking and this thing is coming at you. You have a chance with old school Zombies. These new Things?.. not a chance
Hitting someone upside the old bean with a bat. It won't jam or run out of ammo either.

..or maybe I need to go to the range more often. LOL

They actually do feel pain, remember in Chapter 18-1 Kalani and Angel were shooting the behemoth and it covered its face? I don't think it was doing that just for fun.

Ra1th,

I agree on all points about avoiding the undead. My goals would be to avoid a confrontation at all possible costs. I'd prefer a stealthy retreat, but if all hell broke loose I'd be hard pressed in believing I'd make it without having to test my mettle against a few zed heads.

That might not be so much pain, as it is survival instinct, it knows that its head is its weakspot, a well placed headshot will bring it down, so it protects its head so that it wont take a headshot. plus it realises its in combat, and that there is an active threat, so it still might not be feeling pain.

Well we don't know much about the zombies, the regulars don't feel pain the example you brought up when Riley shot the zombie in the leg incapacitating it and yet it kept going shows that the regular ones don't feel pain but we don't know if this goes for all of them. When Kalani and Angel we're being chased by the behemoth it kept roaring it also did it when they attacked it, so it could be a roar of frustration or of pain. Maybe only some of them do and some of them don't.

I think they can too Ra1th, they're smart enough to form plans, trick humans, and talk, I'm starting to think that maybe we should't call them zombies, it's more of a mutation than an infection, don't you think?
