Car's/Vehicles Rethought! (New Items, Buildings, etc.)

[carbine781 (DayZ) 131]

Hi guys. So lets talk about cars. Currently, any vehicle is quite rare. Here are some ideas i thought of.

 

Car Keys:

So you may find a car that is locked, You may find a car that is unlocked and doesn't have a key, or You get super lucky and find a car with a key in it. Car keys would be something you could find in small houses. If you see a car parked in a garage, but it's locked, a player would most likely search the house the car is located at for a car key. Each car key model would be different, and unique for each type of car. Each car key would only work for a certain car (A toyota car key wouldn't work in a rangerover, etc.). Now you may be thinking car keys will only make the possibility of getting a vehicle super rare. My next idea could fix that...

 

Car Dealerships/stores:

They could add maybe 3 big dealerships in the map (I said big).  Car dealerships will more than likely hold a good ammount of cars. Keys would also be here for cars. Cars can be randomly found in homes, but the most common place is here. Since cars are valuable, these dealerships would become a very high traffic area.

 

Military Vehicles:

Helicopters are rare, but you can find them. You can't find hmmwvs though. At big airfields, i think that maybe once in a while, a hmmwv could spawn there. These Hmmwvs could be have been used by soldiers trying to contain the infection. Maybe military offroads can spawn here too. This would help make airfields like the balota airfield more popular.

 

More Boats:

With Utes now being apart of the main map, your going to need to get there somehow. They should make boats spawn more often in ports. Also, you shuold be able to shoot out of boats. Imagine being in a speedboat chase.

 

Helicopters:

I don't think most helicopters should be military helicopters. They should be civilian / traffic helicopters. That being said, they could also add military helicopters at airfields, once again making airfields more popular. Some of the helicopter spawn points i find sort of dumb... such as ontop of a castle or in the middle of stary sobor; Who parks a helicopter in the middle of a town?

 

Thats it. I know this one was sort of long, but it's just a collection of ideas i had. Hope you like them

I don't really like the idea that you would need a key to drive the car you have found... If I have a Toyota car of my own but I can't go to any parking place and go drive all Toyotas with the same key. It is fine as it is.

Nice idea but you should be able to pick car lock or remove window, which may set off the alarm, attracting the infected

Nice Ideas although Car Dealerships/stores: might be a game breaker
