High ranking military zombies + Bulletproof vests?

[theboat 35]

I think it'd be a cool idea to have a zombie which was a higher ranking military character rather than just the normal military zombies, and maybe he could take a few shots rather than 1 or two (and have a lootable bulletproof vest) and maybe he could have a dufflebag as his backpack which could contain a number of military items etc.

Now onto the bulletproof vest, as I stated above it should be lootable from this 1 zombie, and maybe military bases, but it will only be so effective as to only absorb say... 15-35% of damage taken from gunshots, because lets face it, most the time you get shot you have no time to react as you have no sight of who's shooting you and taking a bit less damage because of an item you looted, and risked going into a high PVP zone (Airfields, and military bases) to get isn't unreasonable, it evens out the playing field. And maybe it could give 25-45% of damage taken from zombies?

I understand the damage absorption levels will be a little out of line if this feature is added, but after a tweak or two it should be perfectly balanced, and overall I feel it'd make the game a lot more fun and even, since a lot of the players just kill on sight.

Just a thought. What do you guys think?

I think it sounds cool, though they are heavy and would weigh you down considerably - and the Z.

Duffle Bag would prevent him from running or stacking wouldn't it? Would have thought a z would ditch it pretty quick.

I don't know about the bulletproof vest, I think it's toto ineffectual to make a zombie harder to kill just by giving it more bullet resistance. But I do like the possibility of colonels and generals left behind as zombies. Obviously they wouldn't be anywhere near common, since of all people they'd be the ones that would be pulled out.

But they'd always have a map, a GPS, (when they were implemented) a radio, and a PDW an ammo.

makes sense, but for now the civilian clothing already has some kind of vest,so unless it just ads more damage resistance, it wouldnt be easy
