Entrenchingtool for digging up hidden body?

[Slartybartfast 76]

used the search, but didn't come up with anything so please don't KOS if this had already been suggested! :)

At the moment you can still hear the bugs buzzing at the area a body is hidden.

I already read the suggestion you need a entrenchingtool to hide a body (wich imo is a very good one) but I think it would be cool if you would also be able to dig up a body that has been hidden, if you manage to find the right spot and ofcourse a entrenchingtool would be needed.

Not al gear left behind would be reusable (no ammo or food, but say a gun or backpack would be)

Your opinion please :)

Not a bad idea. I do think the entrenching tool could be put to better use though anyway. Id like to use it to dig vehicles into the ground making them easier to camo from the air.

...and you would really do that IRL...?

[Slartybartfast 76]

nope, but in a game like DayZ i would

Almost pointless due to the fact that the previous person could have already looted it and like you said some of the loot won't be reusable. It can be a big waste of time digging up a body with nothing in it.

But thinking about it, it can be used as a trap have someone dig up a body while a sniper (you or someone else) kills the looter.

I have two sides on this suggestion but I think it has a pretty big potential. :D

Many times I killed a player and ofcourse I loot everything I need, but in many occasions there are items I already have or don't need but would be very helpfull for someone else (knife, hatched, etc)

Right now I just hide it, never to be found... But making it (partially) retrievable would make it pretty interesting what to leave behind

bump!

Yeah I like this idea. More uses for each tool is a big positive for me. Plus I bury almost all bodies I come across whether they have loot or not so I know someone would benefit from this.

The only real downside is would there be a way to destroy an item then. Maybe you have to burn the body?

good one!!

for example: with a jerrycan and matches it would be a cool (or hot huhuhuh) way to make sure you can get rid of the "evidence" and loot

Great idea man. This should really make it into the new game. I seen an ak47 get burned and still worked :)

[liquidcactus 719]

me and my dog love digging up dead things.. I LIKE IT ^_^ (seems a bit pointless aswell untill someone suggests some better ideas

[CliffardoGameZzHD 3]

This is a very good idea however I normally hide bodies when they have hacked wepons on them. what is your response to this? overall though good idea

If I'm not in a graveyard, and the grave looks fresh, I'm doin' it.

Well, I'd instantly become a necrophilic in a zombie apocalypse, so maybe normal people wouldn't.

And if a shovel was added as a melee/tool item it could be used in the same manner. Maybe even use an entrenching tool as a melee weapon too?

[Slartybartfast 76]

Bump!

What if we can burn bodies....

[simfreek@hotmail.com 48]

The idea has merrit. I am one for what is done in real life and I can't diss this idea at all.

Though, I use hide body as a way of destroying loot easily. Like weapons and awsome gear that I don't want other people having. So I kinda like the fact that some one can't get their gear back because of it.

Hello there

An interesting mechanic and one I was quick to dimiss, but after giving it some thought (and reading post rather than *just* title!) I like it.

Burying and "recovering" a body should take a digging tool of some kind. (improvised or not) and should take time.

But, one would have to be wary of disease which could be influenced by time buried/pre existing conditions before death.

All equipment "buried" should be retrievable but perhaps degraded over time.

I'd prefer a different "marker" than flies buzzing, but am a loss as to what to use instead.
