What kind of items / weapons do you want to see in the SA?

[dulix11 731]

For me I would like to see more junk stuff; just random rubbish as well as some new weapons, melee and ranged.

Junk items

- Broken glass

- Pieces of metal

- Broken electronics

- Pieces of paper

- Newspapers - Could be saying things like 'Unknown infection quickly spreading - Chernarussians urged to stay inside'

Just anything, really. To add a bit more immersion; not everything you would find in the apocalypse would be useful.

Weapons

More Russian weapons - civilian or not, its better than finding an M240 and a M4A1 in a apocalyptic Russian country.

- SVT-40

- MP-443 Grach

- Tokarev

- MTs-255

- PPsH (<3)

- PP-2000

- DP-28

- Galil

- M1 Garand

- M1 Carbine

- VSK - 94

- Broken glass bottle (Use for empty whiskey bottles?)

- Spears

- Chainsaw

- Hedge trimmer

- Shovel

- Pitchfork

- Hoe

- Kitchen knife

Medical items

- Homemade bandage - Could be created by using a shirt, it fails easily, works for a shorter time than a normal bandage, and if your clothing is infected with Cholera(?), it has a chance to infect you.

- Maybe you could use whiskey or vodka as a temprary painkiller

- You could use knifes to remove bullets or shrapnel, at the risk of bleeding.

- Scalpel - Better way to remove bullets / shrapnel, much lower risk of bleeding.

-

Dismemberment, too. Not from handguns and smaller caliber guns, from bladed weapons, and high powered weapons: KSVK, sniper rifles, some LMGs etc.

Losing an arm or leg would knock you down and you would bleed profusely, at like 350 blood loss per second. Losing a head would kill you instantly. You could use this to your advantage too, getting chased by a zombie? Just cut off his legs! Problem solved!

Also I would say to replace the M16 with a slightly more common AR-15. It is more available to civilians, aside form the M16, which is mainly military.

I think it'd be cool to have shrapnel wounds in DayZ aswell, a grenade that goes off near you could give you wounds that bleed over time, requiring a knife or scalpel to remove the pieces.

Well, what do you think should be put into the SA, focusing mainly on items and weapons?

Different Clothings with different uses (isolation, more pockets, armor, weight...) they already started this with the option to put things in your pockets.

Rarefication of military weapons and removal of a good bunch of that stuff. I want to jump off my seat when I find an AK-74u or an AK47. At the moment every experienced survivor is building stockpiles of assaultrifles that are not powerful enough for his taste :D

More civilian/police weapons. Shotguns, bolt action rifles, pistols and smgs (not neccessarily more fabricates just more in comparison to the number of military weapons).

The option to get crafting materials out of items to repair/build other stuff.

I want a reason to scavenge small villages in the countryside. Either much more zombies in the cities or some valuable loot to be found in the countryside. At the moment you just run past all theese small settlements.

A great variety of utility items to shift the focus of the game back on survival, crafting and scavenging and away from rampant pvp. There are so many options, that can be used to make surviving fun and difficult again.

I really just to see a Pump Action 12-Gauge.

[taco241 393]

- Hurtful words

- Passive aggression

- Indifference

These are weapons too

[methr1k2dop3 323]

would love to see media around before infection.

maybe get in a car and have a radio station broadcasting emergency signals.

Newspaper with headlines about the infection in other parts of the world

thought the M1 Grand was American?

would love to walk into a house and 3/10 of the loot i find be useful.

will add a apocalyptic feel IMO.

- Galil

- M1 Garand

- M1 Carbine

Also I would say to replace the M16 with a slightly more common AR-15. It is more available to civilians, aside form the M16, which is mainly military.

Galil is Israeli, and the M1 Carbine and M1 Garand are both American, though I would like to see them (The garand is a pretty popular civilian rifle, the carbine is not as much but is a great gun nonetheless. The Galil would be badass.

And on the note of 'replacing' the M16 with an AR-15, no. I don't get why ever weapon added has to replace a different gun, just have both being concurrent in the game and make the M-16 rare. Besides, the M-16 is one of the most common military firearms, falling short of very few other than the AK series, it's common enough that it makes sense to at least limitedly appear (Maybe different variants; M16A1, M16A2 and M16A4 anyone?). I'd be fine with making the m16 and foreign military weapons be rarer.

On my note, I'd love to see these;

- Maxim Machine gun (It's old and a collectors weapon, many militia groups today still use these and also modifications [Like the Lewis/Vickers guns] so a few of these would be interesting at the least)

- MP-38/MP-40 (Post WW2, many german weapons were sold off to other countries and MP-40s alike continued service even into the 1980s as main infantry weapons, chances are that Russia would've passed on MP-40 stocks to Chernarus as aid during the cold war.

- M1A/M-14 (Yeah, there's one with an Aimpoint, but I'd like to see one with just ironsights as well as M21 sniper rifles and such. The M1A is a civilian version which makes more or less sense)

- RPG-7/Type 69 (The most common Rocket-Propelled Grenade Launcher as well as its Chinese copy. Both of these have been used in so many conflicts worldwide and are in use with tons of different nations and guerrilla groups. While these could still be super rare, it would be nice to have at least some form of explosive weaponry besides grenades and m203s.

- M79 (I mainly want the M79 because its solely a grenade-launcher [unlike the M203 mounted rifles] which means that you could take advantage of the grenades being offset by the obvious repercussions of using it at any close range as well as it being slow)

- M72A3 LAW (Specifically the A3 because of its enhanced range, the M-72 would be another one of those more situational, super-rare weapons which have the potential for much destruction and combat support but are limited outside of areas. Assuming vehicles can be used more efficiently in combat in the Standalone, the M-72 would be helpful for eliminating an assaulting pickup or whatever, but it's heavy and only can be used once, so you'd have to determine whether or not to take it.)

Some are just too old to be there in noticable numbers...although the red army leased or bought western equipment and weapons those were most likely used as targets or sold to 3rd world countries. In some middle eastern or even some african countries some warlord still have a T34 which is state of the art considering the technology they are using over there. They even found a functional STG44 either in north Afrika or in the middle east a couple of months ago.

[Draco122 412]

For the Standalone I'd like different kinds of medical loot from drugs to medical items, such examples include:

Pain Medication

- Acetaminophen / Paracetamol

- Aspirin

- Codeine

- Ibuprofen

- Morphine

- Methadone

Drugs

- Amphetamines

- Trucker Pills

- Robitussin

- Adrenaline

- Antibiotics

- Vitamins / Minerals

Bandages

- Field Dressing (the bandage in the mod right now, is technically an army field dressing)

- Roll of Bandage

Medical Equipment

- Scalpel

- Splint

- Brace

- Syringes

- Surgical Tubing

- Empty Blood Bags

Medical Kits - An idea to find not only individual medical items but also a chance to find individual kits (like a very small backpack) that is filled with medical items.

- Surgical Kit

- Small / Medium / Large First Aid Kits

- Blood Transfusion Kit

- Doctor / Medic's Bag - Specialised kits used by Medical professional

Imagine your character getting his arm cut off and hearing him scream.

Thats some brutal shit right there.

I like the idea of more junk lying around.. ALOT MORE junk.. say you enter a building and the floors have alot of junk on the floor and you have to pay close attention to sift through the junk to find legit items of interest.

lots of 3d junk in this manner may course issues ? it would have to be alot of junk i would imagine
