Tyres off of wrecks

Recommended Posts

So the other night me and a friend found a totalled bus outside the church in Elektro. We thought we would fix it up and go for a joy ride. We ventured into Elektro's industrial area and began the hunt for the parts we needed. It was great fun, and after checking every single warehouse type building, we finally had everything we needed. We fixed it up and went on our way.

We ended up picking some guy up who was in trouble and began transporting him to his friends location in Novy Sobor. While travelling through Mogilevka however, we unfortunately collided with a well concealed barrier (this was all in pitch black darkness) and lost the two front wheels of the bus. As we got out, and lit a flare, zombies began to swarm us. It was a truly awesome experience, and one of the most immersive of my entire gaming career. I thought it would be really fun looking for wheels in the remote and hostile environment.

Well, it was fun, until we realised there was only one location capable of spawning tyres, and it hadn't spawned a tyre... Well, you can't just be handed everything you need! So off we set into the darkness of the surrounding wilderness, heading towards the nearest adjacent settlement, but still, no tyre spawns. Not just unlucky spawns, no locations capable of spawning tyres. We checked every settlement within 2km of Mogilevka, and found only 2 or 3 locations capable of spawning tyres, none of which had.

What I suggest is the ability to retrieve tyres off of certain car wrecks. I understand that things like engine blocks, fuel tanks, and fuel itself really do need to come from special areas, which is fine, because those parts are rarely damaged on a vehicle, unless you come under heavy fire. But tyres are always the first things to go, and they go quite easily. If you have a collision in the wrong part of the map, you can essentially write off the vehicle because you may be 10s of km away from the nearest tyre spawn.
