New gear in 1.7.6

[gamerman001 182]

Idk if these items have been in dayz prior to this update. But ill make a quick list of what ive found.

-Razors

-Toilet Paper

-MRE [Meal Ready to Eat]

So far the only one that seems to actually have a function is the MRE. Anyone know what the razors and TP are for? nobody has said anything about a new bathroom mechanic or shaving... I couldnt find a use for them. :/ anyone know whats up?

[DemonGroover 8836]

Havent found those yet - very interesting.

I refuse to shave though.

[boneboys 7988]

Shit & Shave.

I found them just before 1.7.6 went live, so I can't answer your question i'm afraid.

Look towards the future maybe.

Nice find.

[GenTroy (DayZ) 22]

TP, since we don't use the bathroom...must be for TPing houses and/or vehicles. The Razors, since we don't have to shave, must be for cutting coke lines.....

both of those are kinda shots in the dark.

Maybe they actually implemented a bathroom and hygiene system?

Won't be necessary, nature is my potty now!

I fancy poison ivy for MY toilet paper.... I also shave with my crowbar.

I read the patch notes briefly when i had five minutes earlier, and they might be examples of trash loot. Things you might expect to find that won't really help you. More immersion perhaps, since these are things found in most homes. Trash loot all over! W're filthy humans, especially in times of emergency.

Okay, lunch is ending for me, back to saving the real world in my own little way.

that doesnt make much sense to me tho... you cant even throw the TP or razors. :/..... tin cans and empty irish juice bottles are more useful than them.

I think this is great. Now we have to rummage through all kinds of crap to get to our... Heatpacks and Makarov ammo?

I think it would be easier if they just made piles of garbage that you could rummage through. It stays on the ground, unable to be moved, But it works like a backpack when its on the ground.

I don't know... I'm pretty sure I'll soon be carrying a backpack full of bogrolls around for, you know, tent stuffing purposes.

Also maybe a razor, so I can cut myself to forget about the cruel, cruel apocalyptic world. Of cruelty.

Of course it makes sense. Its useless stuff. Better way to make things more rare.

that doesnt really make things "more rare" it just adds (for now) useless junk into the game.

I got toilet paper in my inventory. You will never know when you have to whipe your ass :P

Or mine. 5 bucks to help a brother out? You'd do that for old Max, wouldn't you?

EDIT: I'm not usually pushy like this, but my hands are busy eating peanuts.

Taste my nuts!

... condoms for server reproduction? lol

I'm not sure you quite understand how reproduction works.

[GtaSoldierBoy 11]

Very Intresting I shall buy the standalone when i get my new pc.

The food and drink names are absolutely atrocious and I don't know what the hell the mods were thinking. Ego-trippin.

Derpy Hooves Canned Muffins? Seriously? So obnoxious that bronies have to force MLP into literally everything.

I understand these are the people who are working on the game now and are actually making these updates while I'm just playing, but you'd figure the people making it would care more about ruining immersion than slapping their internet aliases onto a can for some internet fame.

Everytime I pick up a "mZLY soda" or "Derpy Hooves Muffins" now it immediately ruins the atmosphere.

If any of the mods are reading this I ask you to please have some self-respect for what you do. As a community we are already thankful for you guys and you have nothing to prove so please change the items for the next patch.

They didn't do it you know.

Yeah, cause the mods who don't actually have anything to do with the game, demanded they put themselves into the mod...Mod...MODS...IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW, YOU DEVIOUS BASTARDS!

-Toilet Paper

All they have to add now is discarded Playboy magazines - and booze. You could barter those things for... other Playboy magazines (May 1974, the one with Marilyn Lange). And booze.

Also, some kind of portable music system. Stake out a location in the middle of the map, dump in toilet paper, Playboy magazines, booze, and voila! Instant music festival.
