Limit on amount of weapons

[[email protected] 1]

My suggestion is to limit amount of weapons/gadgets used in dayz.

Mod:

• I'd like to see an option that would empower private hive servers to limit the amount of weaponry, and maybe even gadgets like NVG's rangefinders etc., similar to the vehicles.
  

Example:

• Per server there would be limited amount of military grade rifles, sniper rifles, NVG's
  

What would it give:

• People that worked, killed, betrayed, risked their "lives" for better gear, will be rewarded with limited edition of certain weapon, making every coast spawn and journey afterwards a bit different every time.
  
• Battles between clans would make much more sense, to acquire better items, deny your enemy of loot, etc.
  

Standalone:

• If weapons will spawn in standalone similar to Dayz Mod, it would be great to limit it by amount per region.
  

Thanks for reading.

But if you couldn't find any weapons because someone was hoarding them way north-west, then it'd be boring as hell.

When you say give private hives the power to limit amount of weaponry, is that the only power they get concerning weapons?

Thanks for replying guys.

I see where you are coming from, not necessary to do that on all weaponry, maybe leave that optional to server admins?

I'd limit some high tier ones, so kills would be more rewarding.

It would be viable option to limit weapon spawn like they do with vehicles, weapon disappears - allowed for respawn.

I'm specifying on pvt hive's only cause specific server player-base has 1 database, while hive server player base has as many databases as there are servers, which would be close to impossible to manage.

Pvt hives currently have all the powers to modify weaponry in-game, but an item respawn control system as such is missing.
