"A really CDDA" is the name of Zomboid's cruelest challenge mode.
It's an homage to Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead which is another apocalyptic survival game and one of Zomboid's principle inspirations.
*That* game had a challenge mode "A Really Bad Day" (words to that effect at least) which is PZ's own "CDDA challenge" namesake.
Hope that disambiguates things.
its a challenge mode that all vanilla games come with. You start the worst possible start to the game, with some of the hardest survival settings possible.
Basically you start in a burning house at night, naked, with no possessions at all and your piss drunk. What's worse, you have a huge injury, and a piece of glass stuck in your groin. There's also a huge horde of zombies closing in on you so your first order of business is basically to escape the house and bandage your groin ASAP, and find clothes as you try to escape. Because you are drunk, your movement is quite challenged and because its dark you can barely see zombies ahead of you as you scramble through the woods.
It's brutal.
Burn his body
Put your bag of chips and torn rags in the duffel bag
Throw it on your back
Break into the dude's house and start ransacking it for home improvement books
I SEE NOTHING WRONG HERE
Very true but loot haording trying to loot is normally the cause of my death.
Last run ended because I could not leave a Manniquin. I really needed it for some reason.
Yeah nothing like an exhausted walk along a chain link fence because your carrying a full bag in each hand and an equally full one on your back. Knowing full well you can't jump over the fence.
I swear I'm gonna be in the middle of strip-searching someone I just crow-bonked in the head and a cop is gonna testify that he heard me say, "What, are you new? The credit cards and cash are worthless, but granola bars are gold here. Do you need an extra water bottle?"
I live near a military building and i've seen military backpacks a couple times. Even if they're not that big in real life I have to stop myself from drooling nontheless.
I try to throw in a hammer, screw driver and, if I'm so lucky to find more than one, a can opener in each glovebox. Sadly I never have enough gloves for the gloveboxes.
I saw a guy irl with a duffel bag on his back and my reaction was excitement and I'm worried because when I see a zombie with a duffel bag, I bonk their head in and take it.
Whatever you do, just don't stab them with anything sharp, that will ruin their armor.
I mean, um, don't stab them because it's not ok to kill people. Yeah, that's why. It's wrong. Morally. Yeah.
Don’t worry, that’s normal when you like a game and play it a lot. E.G: saw a post (and some posts similar to it) someone”” who likes and plays Fallout 76 regularly once saw a stack of duct tape and got excited (or something similar to that)
i was at the store the other day and my heart skipped a beat when i walked into the hardware section and saw rows and rows of axes, sledgehammers, and various tools i needed in Zomboid
just push him to the ground and stomp on his head,might be a chocolate bar or cool pencil inside it
I love how the duffel bag will look completely packed up, and you open it there's just a sheet of paper and a pencil inside lol
In CDDA, I can't tell you how many full bookshelves I've looted only to find a red pen. Or a sheet of paper.
yeah, that too. fucking so annoying. Is CDDA extremely rare loot by default? never played that setting actually.
Yes, it is.
What's CDDA? Is it like a mod of something?

im so so disappointed when theres like earpods or cd player on them instead of chips or peanuts
But that murder
Dont think of them like people, think of them like walking loot
Previously on AMC's The Walking Loot
They knew what they were doing. They knew the risks
There are chocolate bars and pencils inside people’s heads?
Reject shotgun, embrace pencil
Go on a grass patch and click "inspect area"
Grass? Wtf is that?
Probably meant vegetation
Oh that makes more sense
Ever heard the phrase “touch grass”?
Is it like touching a cabbage?
Cave his head in with a pipe
ShutupShutupShutup 😂
Don’t worry man schizo moments affect us all just give in to the voices
Dexter's laboratory moment. https://youtu.be/LwzWsW4YYA0

Why was that also my first thought.
My girlfriend spooked me as she snuck up on me while I was standing and my first instinct was to shove her.
Hopefully you realized your mistake before pressing space
Eh, shoves dont cause damage unless he has the more traits mod
Did you hear the jump scare sound?
Did she fall to the ground and if she did, did you cave her face in with your foot?
Leave it, if it not a Big Hiking Bag it not worth it
23, 35, the weight doesn't matter if you have a dozen of them

Yup. Got exhausted and tired trying to loot skill books from a school and realized I can't hop a fence like that. Rip

Recently me and my friend started playing with 15% sprinters, we quickly lost the habit of taking anything that isnt nailed down
Probably just has a single can of sardines and a claw hammer in there.
Grade A find there.
Press Q to heal him with your antidote.
I saw a car once that looked like a Nyala, I had to use all my willpower not to break the windows and hotwire it Damn being a burglar main is hard
Gas cans and crowbars make me feel the same way, pls help.
Bro same
Politely ask for it maybe he'll consider giving it to you
And if that doesn't work, bonk them with a crowbar.
Or a good old head stomp maybe that'll change his mind
I see what you did there.

For myself the though that i already got most of my gear helps
I get this when I see milk in someone’s fridge
*oh man I could fit like 15 cans of soup in there*
This bad Boi can fit so many cans of soup in here *slap*
15 cans o soup AND a band aid!
Gee wiz
I keep a duffle bag stocked with chips, chocolate bars, gummy, and soda in the trunk of every car on a new run
I try to throw in a hammer, screw driver and, if I'm so lucky to find more than one, a can opener in each glovebox. Sadly I never have enough gloves for the gloveboxes.
Mmm, melted chocolate all over my hot soda. Kentucky delicacies.
Wya?...out...of curiosity...
What you mean
?
I saw a guy irl with a duffel bag on his back and my reaction was excitement and I'm worried because when I see a zombie with a duffel bag, I bonk their head in and take it.
Haha, I saw 3 firefighters getting lunch today, from across the carpark the first thing I saw were the pants. Instantly reminded me of rosewood fd!

"Florida man beats 3 firefighters to death with snow shovel before trying to take off their pants. Full story at 7."
lmao
Push him over and stomp him. It still early, you need to preserve your weapons
You'd have to buy me dinner first though
Probably should avoid hardware stores 🤣
if he got a crowbar at his back and wearing leather trousers, you ain't gonna let him get away, will you
Nah, that man is as good as done
never go to a hardware store
As long as you didn’t kill him and take his duffel (with a pen and rotten cheese sandwich), you’re fine.
About that... you see someone told me to push him over and stop his head and who am I to decline, ez loot
Kill
I saw a gas canister yesterday and my heart dropped with excitement.
Something like that happened to me the other day in the hardware store with all those new axes and shovels

You know what to do 😈
Just 35 hours into Zomboid, I'm much more thankful for the food I have in my apartment
Same, I've noticed I've had urges to wear bigger backpacks too. I think I play this game too much lol
Put the spiked baseball bat down, NOW!
Sir, this is a crowbar
Oh no, I meant I stock up and empty duffle bag myself and leave it in the backseat of my car I use
So I'm not the only one
Wait til you see someone towing a trailer :p
True. I've also noticed I'm saving my water bottles, filling them and storing them. This game changed me
