Map Suggestion: Ukraine, In And Around The Exclusion Zone

[King of kong 1117]

Hello. I had a simple idea for a map.

The area in and around the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. On the one side of the Zone's boundaries are the villages, towns and air bases. On the other side is barren and radioactive wasteland. The Exclusion Zone could be a kind of end game location, the zombies are too stupid to acknowledge the radiation, so they wither away and die. Players are also affected, which could bring in a new loot item, the geiger counter, it detects radiation in your vicinity . Prolonged exposure leads to hair loss, sickness, and death. The areas in the zone have no edible food but hold scrap military grade weaponary in secure locations.

Just an idea!

I'd just like to see DayZ to make it's own map instead of it being based on an ARMA 2 map of Chernarus to make it more of an zombie environment (But I assume that's why they entirely changed Chernarus in the Standalone to suit this purpose). Whether it's fictional or inspired by a real location and if it was based on a real location; Ukraine would have to be one of them. I can agree with you there.

 

Edit: Added some more elaboration.

oh my

XD

If you get enough radiation your skin should start bleeding out of the pores.

Radiation sores show up on your characters skin.

The loot here would be good as it couldn't be farmed, it should take 1 gameplay hour for your radiation to reduce by 5, you should maybe get 1-5 rads per second in places 10,000 rads = insta death, but you'd likely die of internal bleeding or the horrors of hairless far before.

1 in 10,000,000 chance of your player growing a sixth finger per 1000 rads because dats how dey roll.

What?

Don't see why not.  Still can't think of much that would be in the exclusion zone.  Unless its a what if story there won't be much of anything in there for fighting zombies.

Although perhaps the checkpoints could hold loot, maybe zombies who were infected while wearing radiation suites

Would be a cool map, but aren't we in a zombie apocalypse, not a nuclear one?

 

I suppose both Chernarus and Ukraine are in the Russian area, so it would make sense.

Most of the radiation in the Zone is cleared up. And in the areas outside of the Zone it's Zompocalypse while in the zone you have to deal with the rads
