Some thoughts to guard your camp goods from looters :D

[madhellsing 31]

First I'm not sure maybe someone tought of this one. But just tought it would be cool on the new game :)

How about setting a parmanent trap like bear traps that could save just like tents

To get string or fishing wire and set a tripwire grenade, 203 grenades or C4 explosive charge as a booby traps near the camp that could be hidden haha

To use a hatchet or a shot gun and string it to make another booby trap

Or go Arnold on "Predator"

Makeshift some nasty Vietnam style kill holes with sharped sticks in them and cover them with leaves.

Even could hang a tree trump or rocks high so it drops on some one :)

Also don't forget the swinging spikes that leave you impaled lol

This ones shoud mess someone up pretty good and knock you unconscious (long wait term unless granade) so you will need someone to come and put you back together or pull you out lol

Also there should be and option if you spot the side where the blunt object is or explosives are and disarm them. but only if you have a toolbox and you actually find the sweet spot so they are not ovious and shine away like tents or other objects. This is where debri/plants camouflagin comes in. <= This could also be use for tents to hide them from glare.

While we are at it, would be nice if one could rig a 203 grenade on a crossbow arrow lol

Yep

How about the trip wire mines from Arma 3... my face says it all. Oh and the radios you can set to hear the bugged location coming in the SA? Damn, I just got myself excited, to bad im not a hot raging 20 year old beauty, I could go spend some time in front of a mirror. Sorry ladies, that was really sexist of me, Not to mention im old and married.

Yes I totally see myself looking for 30 mines in a post apocalyptic world .

Or you could just hide it very well and put the fencing stuff around it. ethier way it works.

[madhellsing 31]

I think that using a grenade as a boobytrap would be the tits. I would totally use it if I had the item to guard my premises lol Specially when sniping or just guarding my vehicles.

Also would be sweet if you get a certain amount of knifes like 6 you could build a impaling swing device.

Hey, if you really don't feel like wasting time looking around to see if there is any booby traps, you are more than welcome to sit and cry for help impaled in a kill hole, Then when you are dead I would drop by and loot that body trololol

But yeah, mines would be almost imposible to find. Unless there is the trademark bump or concave surface on the ground that gives it away. But if it is trip wire you could spot the wire if you look for it and take it appart and even score a new fress grenade lol

I'm sure advanced "bouncing betty" mines from the 2030s will be quite common in a present-day Eastern European zombie apocalypse... nah.

The tripwire grenade idea is good, and the punji stick pit idea is good. There obviously should be a way to spot them. They should also be only able to set up in certain areas, you can't string a tripwire or dig a spike pit in the middle of a concrete road, etc. If you put a grenade trap inside a house as opposed to some bushes in the forest it would also be easier to spot.

[madhellsing 31]

I've been playing that game and never noticed the date in time lol Just all the guns there ar guns that are currenty in circulation. 2030 I would expect some railguns and laser rifles maybe lol.

If a grenade trap could be done on the road the car would be out of the kill blast range ones is passed unless you are talking about the spike pits lol

On the wire it could be done by footage of the roll of wire so it saves on inventory space so one roll could have 20 to 40 feet and you can manage how long you could run the wire. Also the wire could be reusable for fishing maybe?

I know there is like 200 foot fishing wire spools, but to make it some what a thing to look after then I say 20 to maybe 40 feet of wire per spool. Now you could use up all your wire setting up booby traps or for fishing for food.

Maybe some sort of "Pepper Spray" trap of some sort. If the characters are 'survivors' I don't see why they might not have done research on herbs and what types of herbs have negative effects. For instance make the herbs in to some sort of powder and then if someone trips the "trap" the powder (somehow) is in the area. Possibly causing temporary blindness or increased damage to zombies in the area.

I'd love to be able to lay down some land mines.

Traps/completely random deaths would piss me off something awful. Within a few hours the 3 major cities would just be full of traps.

Dayz is an anti-game though.

Agreed, it would be hard to do it "right"... IRL people only set up deadly traps for good reasons (like to guard their meth lab!), in games... not so much.

[Serious Stan 202]

Dont you think these traps will make the area even more appealing?

im more into hiding my stuff rather than defending it.

[madhellsing 31]

I haven't had a camp raided ever Because they ninja camps lol But I keep meeting people who just chose a hill and set their camps there out in the open and is the constant battle to search for a new camp location all the time. If there was a option to set a few booby traps it will discourage or make people thing twice and be more carefull when they stumble into a someones camp.

The thing is that if you get this grenades and knifes and bear traps, stuff like the entrenching tool "The shovel" why not use them that way. Right now I got a tent full of toilet paper and one of shinny tin cans hoping to trade :D

I think that this would make people more aware that being carefull helps you survive like in real life. I like the Idead of taking plants and using them to your knowledge like for food. I would love to see some apple trees or orange ones. I wonder what is the main frut trees in cherno lol I keep finding pumpkin gardens and them big mushrooms..
