Post-apocalyptic mod, eh? Why not have post-apocalyptic skins/weapons?

Other than the PMC security guard unit, why not add one of these bad boys to add a sense of variety:

But of all those links, this might be the best one for Dean Hall to take inspiration from to what DayZ default skins should look like:

Imagine spawning and getting a random post-apocalyptic skin, it would really help add the immersion and the fact that no one in a post-apocalyptic situation looks like someone with a bulletproof fest, a nice and soft hat to keep your head safe from headshots(not), and comfy and casual long-sleeves. It would be completely fitting and rational to why having those post-apocalypse skins in DayZ is a good idea.

This would be cool, right now we just seem like we went to a surplus store and got the left over hats/backpacks/and vests and forgot a weapon.

I am hoping for this one to be really good and hopefully Shinkicker can pull it off. :D I think realism should be its main draw with slower movement speeds so that jogging from town to town is a nightmare and hence making vehicles necessary.Bikes everywhere and junked cars you need to find ALOT of parts to finally get them running.Rare animals and no bloodloss from hunger....this is because you do not die from hunger for long time but dehydration you will.Your search for food should mainly be to rebuild blood of which will be hard if its done right.Ability to drink from water sources and canteens are precious items...stuff like this and I think it will be boring as shit while highly immersive.Heck even put in ability to build yourself a shack out in woods from all the woodpiles you find....yes from Project Zomboid. :P

Oh yeah and a broken down piece of junk motorcycle that also needs to be built up and can be done in half time of the cars.
