or you could just keep it simple and add an item like the purification tablets that the military uses.... give the item a total of 5 uses before the resource is exhausted, and you have to find a new purifying tablet.

See, what a majority of you fail to realize, is that when you do not dispatch (kill) someone you are risking your/the groups, operational security. When you have fairly decent equipment, you do not want to lose it to anyone. If you say that you're willing to have anyone near you, that isn't "with" you or the group, you are lying. They pose not only a risk to transportation, manpower, weaponry, equipment, and logistics; they pose a legitimate threat to real-life friendships and trust. The fact that you think that one asshole is just killing for fun is ridiculous. I will, however, admit that there are unfortunately individuals who do such things enthusiastically. More often than not, though, he/she is providing over-watch, or relaying reconnaissance/intelligence to his fellow group members. The group I am in, collectively, has this mindset throughout every mission we conduct. We kill you in order to ensure that you do not compromise us or the mission. Call us assholes if you want, but we're still alive and in a group that believes in maintaining what we have spent hours/days acquiring.

so you mean to tell me....that you want the only thing that can counteract nvg/ghillie night time enemies....to be taken out of the game? im sorry, but no. thermal weaponry needs to stay in the game to "trump" the night time campers who use silenced weaponry. im not being a dick or rude, just trying to tell you my opinion as to why its in the game in the first place. i do however, suggest that the ammunition type be changed. 5.56 is literally the most common ammo in the game at this point.

those people usually have a "runner" that picks up all the loot of all the victims. ill agree that killing fresh spawns is a way to create a surplus of bandages and painkillers, but if you're out in the wilderness, hunting animals, you won't need medical supplies unless rocket eventually codes the animals to fight back or become hostile upon seeing you. "bandits" usually kill others to get medical supplies and food, so that all they have to do is raid top tier loot spawns, without needing to sneak into a hospital or medical tent (which is in all honesty more dangerous than going to stary or nw airfield.)
