new spawn building...the museum

[ICESPUR 1]

do you have a museum in your town?? or if your in a city, two or three..what would you raid it for?? these, thats what..scimitars,sabres,claymores,maces,warhammers,spears, some nice hand weapons but because they are old they would have a faster degrade rate..

then distance weapons. Gatling,Tommy gun,Flintlock Muskets,Sterling submachine guns, these old guns may misfire or jam and need to be reloaded to work.

armour leather.scale,mail.and plate. none of these are going to stop a bullet but might perhaps lessen zombie damage..unfortunately they slow you down making you an easy target for the zombies to catch.

i know most of you wont like the idea,but i think its an opportunity for the devs to put in some weapons that wouldnt be found elsewhere.

there must be an old gun youd love to cap a few zombies off with....

A museum of some type would be nice, but this is Chenarus, not DC with the Smithsonian. I could see some kind of 'Peoples Revolution Museum' or somesuch, with older Soviet and Russian weapons (Tokarevs, PPSHs, Mosin Nagats, ect) With a T-42 Statue parked out front or something. I don't know if museums are high priority in Russia-Post Soviets, but would Imange that most of the 'good shit' went to Moscow rather than Chenarus. I would say maybe have some Cossack Sabers or something on display/lootable as melee weapons (would make a bit more sense than Japanese Katana and Scottish Claymores). And of course theres the gift shop and displays for looting clothes :)

*EDIT* And GOD YES I would love a Thompson/Tommy Gun, but doubt it would fit realistically.

Can you imagine seeing a group of bandits running your way with mail coats, sabres and muskets?

I wonder what their clan tags would be... something along the lines of [Dick Turpin]?

I'm kinda against midieval stuff in general for this game. Anything thats still 'useable' would be more than likely a replica (and more than likely if its a replica its made not to function like the orignal, its made to sit on a shelf while tourists and school children stare at it througout the day) or in a rare case itd be an orignal peice thats badly deteriorated or partly restored.

But this would be one way of adding in more melee weapons into the game that go beyond 'base ball bat with railroad spikes in it' or 'crowbar with barbwire wrapped around it' or 'peice of rebar I found on the side of the road that looks like it'd hurt really badly'. But I want gear to make sense in this game (yeah, a Katana would be cool to have on my back but still...).

Yeah, what i expected...second sentence starts with guns guns guns....first i thought you would want to use a museum as a home base because most museums are tough buildings.

This is stupid unless I can find dinosaur bones to beat you all with

[DemonGroover 8836]

I could imagine an old Soviet museum, complete with WW2 memorabilia.

I don't think that you'd find operable firearms in a museum, I feel like 99% of that stuff is decommissioned (fille with solid lead so nothing can ever come out of it again), but then again this is Chernarus, and anything is possible. Ex WarPac countries have a slightly...different attitude about military equipment than us, case in point:

www.mortarinvestments.eu

BMP-1s selling for $17,000, and T-72s selling for $50,000.

When you just send boxes filled with assault rifles to the junkyard on the back of a flat-bed truck, without even telling the driver that they're fully automatic machine guns, you might just be willing to leave the firing pins in your museum pieces. Besides, I love my Mosin-Nagants, especially with the 13 inch spike bayonets.

I live next to a huge air force museum complete with ww1 ww2 and modern plans like ac130, sr71 and black hawks you name it and you bet your ass I'd have something up in the air eventually

I think we should just have more buildings period.

No need for ULTRA COOL LOOT

It should be realistic, and maybe find a couple of guns (rare. of of the ground, or dead cops)

Should probably use the search function; I made a topic relating to buildings in a more descriptive definition.

Museums are a great idea :)

EDIT: New building types has been confirmed for the Standalone.
