Guides:Kill Probability

From The Urban Dead Wiki

The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.

The following charts show the probability that a target will be killed after a certain number of attacks. This is useful to know when you want to avoid being tracked by the Scent Trail zombie skill, which could lead an injured zombie (and his horde) to your safehouse.

Note that the number of attacks is the basis for these figures -- not the number of AP. Remember to take reloads into account when using these charts.

Figures given in percentages.
-- indicates no chance of killing.
<< indicates less than 0.05%.
>> indicates 99.95% or greater.

Mathematics

How These Figures were Calculated

For any number of attacks a, the probability that a target will be killed PK, is given by the following formula, where PH is the chance to hit in one attack and h is the number of hits required to kill.

The tables themselves were constructed using a short javascript program.

Great, but is it Accurate?

To test the accuracy of this data, a simulation of tens of thousands of combats was conducted. Below is a typical extract of the data, representing 10,000 pistol combats with Basic Firearms Training, against each of four targets (with and without bodybuilding; with and without flak jackets), compared to the theoretical results:
