Cable Ties, Pepper Spray, Rubber Bullets, Knockout Melee attacks.

[Wisebeard91 3]

Ok so This wont be a long post but if people like it please show your support/ideas.

The game already allows players to fall unconscious so why not make use of that and implement non-lethal weapons and tactics.

Cable ties - Ties an player up. (possibly for X amount of time before they break free or knife used to free them)

Knockout Hit - Non lethal melee attack that makes them unconscious. (Can then be tied up)

Rubber Bullets - Non lethal ammo and guns.

Pepper spray - Short range stream that blinds players

Tazer - awwwww yeahhhhhh

Sometimes you dont want to kill someone but would rather not take the chance that they wont kill you...

Don't taze me bro.

[Wisebeard91 3]

I so would

[mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416]

:thumbsup: Yes to all of these things,

Also, Stun grenades and Flash-bangs. (to disorient/incapacitate players, and distract zombies)

And a tranquilizer dart-gun.

I've seen a non-lethal suggestion topic somewhere around here before, It would be cool to have the option.

I don't think people will be running around with a gun loaded with rubber bullets and a tazer as a sidearm when the world ends.

I don't see the purpose of false bullets unless you are filming an in-game movie :/

I like the tazer though

Maybe not riot squad stuff, but a true badass would K.O. any bandit they come across and throw all their OP military weapons in the sea.

Short range non lethal ammo would be very useful. When you just dont want to risk being killed by a trigger happy idiot you can just put his lights out, cable tie him and keep going your own way. Also imagin comming across someone who has been cable tied haha "Well look what we have here..."

[Gordon Axeman 191]

This makes sense. But now everyone would prefer to put an iron bullet into you.

[Wisebeard91 3]

Rofl at least they have the choice

[Gordon Axeman 191]

At least iron bullets get the job done 100%. Lol

[indominator 95]

ok, interesting, but its not like i am gonna pick them if i had lethal weapons, only last resource weapon. It would be nice if they could be dismatled so a useless and troll only taser would keep my flashlight alive.

Most has been suggested before an it's a really good idea.

Except maybe for the rubber bullets, I don't see a use for them really depending on how you envision them to work. I think in real life they are used as sort of discouragement because they hurt like shit but in the game you don't really feel pain so that wouldn't ork like that. People would still be coming at you when you fire at them with these bullets. I suppose they could work as a 'knock out' when you hit someone on the head but wether that'd be realistic/authentic I'm not so sure about.

Hows this for example. Pretend for a moment your a survivor and not a bandit and you wish to keep your humanity. You hear someone in the room next to you. Rather then yelling out and risking a firefight with a jumpy bandit you are lucky enough to have some heavy rubber rounds on you. You poke your head around the corner and see him looting something and pop a rubber one in his head...hes out cold. Now you could use a cable tie to secure him, kill him, rob him blind or just go on your merry way and by the time he wakes up you will be long gone and with your humanity intact.

Rubber bullet to the head has a good chance of being fatal, and being knocked unconscious without medical supervision is very dangerous.

Besides, anyone using these is handicapping himself.

i think the rubber bullets should also damage a bit, but have a 40 to 60 % chance (based on the type of your weapon) of nocking out the target and the hit of the bullet can't result in bleeding, so there is still a slight chance of killing people with rubber bullets as it is in real life..

the bullets should be available for:

Winchester 1866 with a effective range of 100 meters, about 400 damage and a 60 % chance of nockout

*edit* any other shotgun with a effective range of 100 to 150 meters, about 400 damage and a 50 % 60 % chance of nockout

maybe the G17 and M9 with a effective range of 50 m, 200 - 300 damage and 40 % (I know its not realistic and it seems a bit wierd, but i wanted 1 or 2 other weapons to come up with)

I think there should be a tranquilizer gun and a tranquilizer rifle. The 'gun' is just a pistol, shorter range, 3 or 4 bullets before a reload, and a faster reload, and the rifle should be a sniper, 1 bullet reload, slower reload times, and a longer range :) That way, you could find an enemy, scope in, shoot him, walk up to his unconscious body, loot his stuff and run, without getting any murders :D

The rifle would have to knock them out for longer, as you'd most probably be further away when you shoot them.
