Steel Bolt Suggestion

Recommended Posts

Allow steel bolts to show up in a zed/players table when killed. (Going on a rant here) Getting tired of losing bolts when i shoot a zed or player from behind, and when they fall down dead the bolt disappears and isn't retrievable.

Lets also say for a player that got away, when he or she uses a bandage after getting shot by a bolt and is probably bleeding out, after using the bandage the bolt is removed off the players character. So the poor guy or gal doesn't have a bolt sticking out for the rest of the game.

Just a suggestion, love the crossbow, but since its 1 bolt per slot and i take out 2-3 zombies but i only get 1 bolt back it's really lame in a way :(

wait so if I repeatedly shoot someone with bolts and then bandage and transfuse him he will become a hedgehog?

+ 1 to this!

To add on, instead of not being as to find them on account of the player lying on them, could they have a chance of breaking instead? Like, a miss and striking concrete would damage them more than a soft target (flesh).

Also, how about a tool we can find - quiver. Or craft one out of animal hide/cloth or something? Can carry one quiver with 10 or so bolts in it max, anything beyond stacks in 5 in your inventory?

I mean, a small pistol is 5 slots. A bolt (smaller when 5 are bunched together) take 5 slots.

Exactly what I was thinking. normally, i shoot them in the front adn they fall forward on it and the bolt is under them.

Agreed. Hate being able to quick frisk a zombie for any crap in his pockets yet have to manually check his body for a steel bolt that may not even be retrievable due to objects/zombie inventory block.

or make it fall to the ground so when one does "hide body" the bolt will still be there, available to loot
