Stoned Orangutan 31 Posted March 11, 2013 If bears are possibly going to be added into the game, then there should be a spray to use instead of shooting it to conserve ammo. You can also spray a human and it has effects similar to pepper spray. There should be a 50-50 chance the bear will stop attacking you or procede to attack you.

srgtrhodes 6 Posted March 11, 2013 Bit complex no?Wouldn't it be simpler to shoot/run from the bloody thing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jona (DayZ) 61 Posted March 11, 2013 Well if dayz makes the bears realistic wich i think they should, it wouldn't be easier to shoot unless u had a immensely powerful gun there hide and bones are too thick for most calibers for any real harm. Running would be no option they can run as fast as a race horse lol. So bear spray would be a good bear deterrent it would snap the bear out of kill mode and retreat most likely. So bear spray would be very handy indeed to other wildlife humans and even infected perhaps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death_Dealer 3155 Posted March 11, 2013 Wouldn't it be simpler to shoot/run from the bloody thing?Few things wrong with your post..1. Bears are generally much faster than humans, so outrunning run will not be easy.2. They are also large and strong creatures. You would need a very powerful weapon to successfully take a bear down. They have been known to take multiple shots to the face and still keep on moving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

srgtrhodes 6 Posted March 11, 2013 I was saying my comment more in lines with game restrictions. Which people often forget with games like this. I don't really think that you could put bear spray in game and make it work as it does IRL.Yeah I'm sorry I also have a VERY limited knowledge on bears.

Stoned Orangutan 31 Posted March 11, 2013 It's also a good weapon to use on humans :) Theres no way you could outrun a bear on foot that is impossible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DemonGroover 8836 Posted March 11, 2013 Yep - they look lethal enough. Wolves as well hopefully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stoned Orangutan 31 Posted March 11, 2013 Yep - they look lethal enough. Wolves as well hopefully.The Bear Spray could probably make a wolf or anyother animal run away once you spray it. Im wondering what would be good balanced effects once you sprayed someone with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Gews- 7443 Posted March 11, 2013 As mentioned above, it's not just for bears, criminals use bear spray here fairly frequently. Good for incapacitating gas station clerks!I don't know how this would be implemented in-game, seems like a great thing for trolling fresh spawns but not much else... I wouldn't want to try it on an armed player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death_Dealer 3155 Posted March 11, 2013 Spraying a human with bear spray can actually cause asphyxiation, so I'd imagine it can actually be lethal. Someone also reported having extremely watery eyes and a runny nose after being sprayed by bear spray ... twenty feet away.I suppose it would be a good self-defense item.

Stoned Orangutan 31 Posted March 12, 2013 Indeed it would be^. I think Rocket should in-fact implent this into the Stand Alone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
