Expansion On Infected Corpse Models [Feature Request]
Feedback, NormalPublic

Description

Currently, the game's environment is filled with the remnants of a once densely populated environment. It's essential to consider that not everyone could have disappeared or turned into infected overnight. Some casualties should be evident, and not everyone who were infected would have survived.


Feature Request Details:

1. Variety of Infected Corpse Models: Introduce a variety of infected corpse models to be found in towns, cities, and vehicles. This could include single infected corpses slumped against walls, inside buildings, and even in abandoned vehicles. The goal is to create a more realistic and immersive post-apocalyptic world, reflecting the events of the initial outbreak.

2. Diverse Environmental Storytelling: The presence of these infected corpses can tell a story about what transpired in these areas. Were there desperate last stands against the infected? Did survivors make attempts to barricade themselves in buildings or vehicles? These environmental assets could provide a deeper narrative layer to the game's world, enriching the player's experience.

3. Dynamic Event Groups: Implementing these models could be useful for diversifying dynamic event groups. For example, picture a military wreck with dead "infected" slumped against a bus. This dynamic event could offer a unique narrative for players exploring the area and potentially leave breadcrumbs for the player about the outbreak while they craft their own story.


This feature request aims to enhance the overall immersion and storytelling potential of DayZ. It not only makes the game world more believable but also provides additional environmental decorations for those on the console platforms of the game. By expanding on infected corpse models and integrating them into dynamic events, the game's world could become more engaging and diverse, allowing players to uncover the untold stories of the outbreak.

I second this, story wise having more corpses, maybe with various stages of the infection, would give a more imaginative background on how the virus came to be and evolved, rendering the cities an inhabitable battlefield
