theirongiant 200 Posted January 10, 2013 I'm sure there is probably a proper name for what i'm thinking of but a neat wee thing to have would be a device you can plant in the ground that has a 5m-10m tripwire attached which when triggered fired a flare into the air. While not realistic it would probably be better if zombies didn't trigger them as they'd rendered them pretty useless but it could add a bit of extra drama to the mix. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saecii 12 Posted January 10, 2013 Could be used as a tool by nighttime snipers without NVG:s to snipe targets in Cherno I presume? You got my beans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You got my beansIt'd work both ways, you could also scatter a couple round likely routes before looting a town to give you a chance of a warning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
burritoman259 593 Posted January 10, 2013 intriguing suggestion, I approve of this although could you just pick these up and fire them at helicopters? i'd really like to see that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thomassaxby@hotmail.com 3 Posted January 15, 2013 I'm liking the suggestion! Maybe just a trap wire in general, maybe it could be combined with grenades....smoke...or even empty cans for noise? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

finkone 320 Posted January 16, 2013 Early warning tactics. Used a lot in the military. I support this idea, I do believe its been suggested before...For a loner' like myself... sometimes I know I'm being trailed... it would be nice to be able to put a trip down, break azimuth, and setup a ambush. I know that when players hit a trip they'd start to freak and it would add to the element of surprise for people that actually use military tactics in a zombie-army simulator...

Meeshe 170 Posted January 16, 2013 Great idea, I would love to set up a perimeter with these things around a base or something as an early warning device. Would work nicely to secure your things while your off scavenging, see a flare, "oh crap, someone is raiding the supplies", or as a "grab your guns boys, weve got visitors incoming".Now if in addition you could hook them up to some claymore mines.........

guisho 258 Posted January 16, 2013 I would be very nice to have this kind of thing in the SA. Let the games begin! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zombies walk through them like nothing happens but when a player walks and trigger the trap , all hell break lose.Some players may misuse and abuse this system if u know what i mean and some players may prefer to use it to detect zombies etc etc...

It'd go from being a useful device for tell you that there was a clumsy player nearby to being a great way of announcing to the world that you're where you are on the map. Not really realistic but gameplay wise i think it'd make sense to have zombies not trigger them, hell the damn things glide through barbwire like it ain't there.I'd totally have animals set them off though.
