Deteriorating weapons, more scarce supplies, increase rarity of military loot

[privatewolf 59]

I'm not much of a fan of the whole PvP with AS50/M107/DMRs thing. But what I've indeed interested in is survivors actually fighting for supplies using low-tier weapons and their status would be degrading everytime the user would happen to use it. Given the opportunity, this opens a door of possibilities to give scrap metal further use other than being a repair ingredient for vehicles, it could also be used in repairing a weapon from it's aging flaws. A handful of other items should also be added to be a repairing ingredient to any weapon in particular. It would give you a sense of actually scavenging for materials to maintain your weapon, as well as looking for food in the barren, foodless wasteland also known as Chernaurus. Instead of having military weapons laying on the floor everywhere in military areas, it should be kept in ammo boxes, to spawn rarely in these said areas.

i think weapon quality should also be a factor. Jamming, and wear should affect its usage fo sho

hummm, you are about 4-5 months late to the forum

But rest assured, you are not saying anything that hasn't been said 845 times already. And weapon deterioration has already been announced to part of the standalone.

No clue what the loot tables will be like tho.
