jasjack67 4 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) So your out in the middle of nowhere. You been playing for a good while with your character and have managed to get alot of supplies. Your doing great and having fun...then suddenly you trip or get hit by a zeb and break your legs.You have no morphine and are stuck crawling for a LONG LONG time looking for it. Or trying to make it to a hospitol to loot some. But after an hour you just quit the game commiting suicide. From then on, if you break your legs and don't have morphine, you don't waste any time in comitting suicide.Suggestion:In real life if your out in the middle of nowhere and break a leg, you can always go to any tree and cut branches off, tear a piece of your clothing to tie them up into a splint. Giving the ability to walk again. Far more likely a senario then crawling miles to loot morphine. Additionally, many players, if not most, do not have teammates to come delivering morphine.Would be nice to have the hatchet option to "Make A Splint" when standing at a tree, that mends the break...like when we "Harvest Wood" to make a campfire. Currently, it is basically impossible to crawl to a spawn location to get morphine without zebs killing you, before you ever reach the morphine...and the chances of breaking your legs 100 different ways is very high in this game. Onetime, I was just running. Edited February 28, 2013 by JasJack 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jakub-SK 15 Posted February 28, 2013 Kinda good idea was wondering about it when I had to crawl 1 kilometer to a hospital when my bones have been broken .I would add that if you already have your "natural" splint on your leg , there is chance ( let's say 50 % ) that on zed hit, the splint is destroyed and you need to crawl again . This will make atleast a chance to get to outskirts of the city and think of the strategy to get to the hospital , not to mention that atleast some time is saved from the game time .Also the speed of the character when you have splint would be slightly decreased .

thesodesa 99 Posted February 28, 2013 This is already being implemented into the standalone as a part of the new medical and crafting system and has been mentioned quite a few times in the earlier interviews with Rocket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DMC14 46 Posted February 28, 2013 happened to me today on nwaf in one of the barracks. A zombie came through the wall and broke my leg. i had one clip for the mp40 which i used in seconds and there were still more nazi zombies comming at me. there was a package at my feet wich i quickly checked praying it was ammo for the mp40, which it wasn't. but to my surprise it was a satchel charge, that i quickly placed at my feet and waited till the zombies were on top of me and then i proceeded to suicide taking as many zeds as i could with me.

Talibambi 119 Posted February 28, 2013 Why not use the hatchet AS a splint... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thesodesa 99 Posted February 28, 2013 Why not use the hatchet AS a splint...Or, more precisely, the handle of the axe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taco241 393 Posted February 28, 2013 Or, more precisely, the handle of the axe.no, use the entire hatchet. It could be a hatchet foot weapon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
