If you could suicide bomb (in DayZ)

[applejaxc 2500]

Hi.

 

Question and poll are self explanatory:

 

If you could use basic supplies (easily scavengable stuff) to make a "Suicide vest" (or such), would you bother actually trying to survive, or would you just run at people and blow them up?

Suicide bombing in a survival sim?

[Inception. 9443]

Of course I would blow someone up. That's my nature.

You can already "kind of" do it in the mod with satchel charges or even better a sneaky grenade drop.  There's been a couple of times where I've lost a firefight and dropped a grenade at the last minute just to take them with me.

 

Strapping them to yourself would be fun :)

[wild_man 4442]

maybe if some extreme situation happen where I don't give fuck if I die but want too much to kill this guy :)

 

also if is chance to make maximum pain on guys, example sit in the guys heli, wait for pick up every friends when heli is take off and flying high I make conversation in vehicle chat...

 

'hello 7 guys in heli, is nice bird you flying here, I am sure you guys are feel too much proud for this shit' :thumbsup:  'is some bad news, i have semtex jacket and timer is start for 30 seconds, maybe this pilot is true genius and make safe land in 20 seconds' :lol:

 

is good way to enjoy 30 second of panic and rage before enjoy big explode after detonate this shit :D

 

 

to make fair maybe add one cool feature 'scroll mouse wheel to throw guy from heli' :P make human bomb and try throw this guy on some sirvivor  :lol:

Right. Because DayZ (the mod) is totally more survival than TDM at the moment.

The satchel charges aren't a satisfying way to do it, for me. You're kind of *stupid* if you run up and blow yourself up with satchel charges, when you could easily leave on in a firestation/etc and wait at a safe distance.

Yeh, I wasn't suggesting it's the most tactful way of doing things.   It is fun though.

That definitely doesn't mean that the devs should encourage this behavior. :S

Perhaps you should make a custom suicide helicopter.

[IkaikaKekai 1957]

I voted yes.  But I'm the kinda guy that would keep a grenade or two in his pocket.  A grenade drop would be good enough for me, or the ole grenade under a dead/dying person trick.

[Crazy one 124]

Well since iv'e never killed anyone in my 316 hours of playing day z no i wouldn't but i would scavenge and create such a vest to blow up as many zombies as possible in one go. If i'm trapped and no way out then it would be my perfect solution.

[rossums 2190]

Certainly a different way to look at 'Going out with a bang'.

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

Oooooh.  I just had a thought....  Booby trapped bodies, 'nam stylee.

 

Surely that's been suggested before, in fact it has to have been.  I don't remember seeing it though, must have missed it.  That'd make peeps think twice before running back to loot their own body, or not.  Hmmmmm.

I see you and I have the same method of thinking.

You can already fly a helicopter into people and let it explode..

You're just a real downer, aren't you?

 

And IMO "suicide vests" would ruin the game. It would be neat to be able to pull the pin on a grenade seconds before death, but it would just be overused.

Not speaking in favor of suicide bombing, but I do think a grenade trap is worth it. 

Basically I'd say grenades has a lot of potential, but at the moment it's taken for granted, as if it's just exploding potatoes.

On a Vietnamese DayZ server I remembered we could make improvised landmine by harvesting wood, have a bear trap, saperka and a grenade! Now not only when people step on bear trap, their legs will be smashed bring them to ground but also make them fall on top of the grenade, making it a sure kill. TLDR - pull the pin, tie the spoon to the bear trap and wait for the boom.

A grenade basically has a safety pin and a spoon. Pulling the pin let the spoon open to be removed upon impact or during flights. It also means I could tie a string onto the spoon, put the grenade to a likely entrance, remove the pin and wait for any stragglers to come upon my grenade. Another possible application would be bushes or treeline. Who would have known that the perfect bush that offer the best viewpoint are primed?

Or I could stuff dead bodies (and car seats, helicopter chairs, truck door, barracks door) with primed grenade, readily explode upon disturbance (i.e, search the body for gear, open the bag and so on)

Suicide vests wouldn't be effective unless they have F1 grenades instead of RGOs or M67s. It's fragmentating radius could easily reach 100m+ on flatland and ricochets are deadly. Besides grenades' primary wounding/killing mechanism lay within the concussion and shrapnels. If we have nitrates and fuel and blasting cap in this game then that'd make more sense for the suicide vest idea.

What do you guys reckon?

[Bandit_Actual 0]

I'd hide in the back of a hatchback, and if they crashed a 'tad I'd blow it.  :D

[kingjosh194 13]

I can just imagine myself, loaded up with end game gear and getting slightly bored so I just make a suicide vest and run around NWAF until I see someone then hiding in a barracks untill they search it then BAM we both die, i get some giggles and the chat fills with the guy raging. Hahaha

[beno_83au 11]

I do it in insurgency a lot if im playing as OpFor and it's a "blast"...... However, not in DayZ. As mentioned by one of the forum mods, it kinda goes against the survival gameplay, and thats what I play it for. I go into wasteland for some casual pvp and i wish that had suicide bombing though.

Edit: I see Fraggle mention a suicide grenade. Anyone ever play much Vietcong? That game was great for them.
