Weapon Poison

[Xathrid 3]

I want to start off by saying this should not be implemented in the Dayz mod, i believe it will help with a greater survivor aspect and knowledge for the Dayz SA.

When you see a person running around with items/gear you really want but dont want to kill for, what if there was a tranquilizer arrow for the crossbow. You could knock the person out for 1-5 min depening on the strengt of the "poison" and steal his gear in the meantime. This would result in you getting what was desired without becoming a bandit and making the other person not lose all of his stuff, that you did not want to keep.

The aspect of this could be used in a more stealthy approach, if i can streetch it so far to say a blowdart, it would kill the person in a matter of minutes without any risk. Just shoot follow and profit.

This was just a dream i had for the SA, please leave your oppinion and +rep if this is wanted. See you ingame :)

Best regards, Xathrid.

So you don't want it for the mod,but for the game.Ok.

The idea is great!I can't believe I didn't thought about this.But the poison should be very,I mean very..rare..otherwise people will abuse it.They will knock players down just for the fun ..

Good idea! Poison made me think about medicine too... I think it would be amazing if one could create poison/medicine by harvesting ingredients from various bushes etc. This would really seperate the veterans from the rest as they wouldn't fuck up and create bad medicine for themselves (or their friends/clients). Also, it could be a skill directly imported from real life (like navigating using stars) :)

I don't think poison should be rare.

In fact it should be common, but should be diverse.

So the most common one would be infection one - if you shot a zombie with an arrow and didn't clean it, that arrow will certainly cause a nasty blood infection.

If you dip an arrow into acid or any other hazardous liquid, it will cause shock and intense pain.

A poison made out of some rare plants or morphine or something else that is quite rare will disorient the target or even make it pass out.

And why do you worry about people spamming it?

If he knocks you out with an arrow he'll just take something he doesn't have and leave you, right now all you can expect is being shot to death with an AS50 and respawn at Kamenka with no gear.

So you want to be a bandit without losing humanity...?

This sounds awesome. Especially the idea of shooting someone with just a poisoned arrow and causing an infection. Made me think of a Komodo Dragon, then stalking your wounded victim down and stealing their stuff, killing them if you see it fit. I guess you could peg with with a rifle, but with a crossbow or a dart, its silent.

What about an Air Rifle while on this subject, normally they're used to administer tranquilizers to large game but pop some poison into an empty dart and boom, a rifle that fires silent poisoned dart.

Ha. Ha. Ha.

Like anyone gives a fuck about humanity.

Seroiusly, if I fucked up that hard that I've let an enemy into a 30m area around me (the distance of the xbow shot), I'll be glad that he didn't make me lose all my gear and just took a small portion of it. Quit whining about humanity and "poison-spamming". A real asshole will not bother with ineffective xbow and will just shoot you from 0,5km away with an AS50. Then you can stand in the middle of nowhere naked, soothening yourself with the fact he lost some humanity.

So you have your poison, well done, whilst you stalk the night hunting your prey lining up for this perfect movie moment you dremt of your entire life, as you said, somebody just mows you down with something a but more automatic.

I don't care for humanity, this suggestion is one of two things as far as I can tell. A) someone cant handle respawning upon death so wants to have to be paralysed or B) Someone wants to rob people without losing humanity.

There is the third option though, they want to hunt the shikahkah and for added realism they need the chance of being knocked out and waking up on a raft going down river towards a waterfall, in which case where is the monkey as a pet suggestion and brylcream so you can have funky hair doo's suggestion??
