Needing a can opener to open a can is pathetic

[dayzhopeful 30]

Seriously guys imagine your trying to survive the zombie apocalypse, your starving and can feel your stomach eating away at itself, you come across two cans of beans. But you have no tin opener, will you bash it against a rock, use the end of your torch or stab it with some kind of sharp instrument, No you will go on a MASSIVE fxxxcking quest to find a can opener.

 

I do like this feature though and i can see why they have added it in, so its not too easy.

[fwisky 105]

its an alpha, what do you expect?

Before you rage on the forum look at proposed features for the next patch.

Wait, what's that?

They are adding functionality to open cans with other sharp implements.

Oh goody.

[Vertisce 158]

There is a fix for this...

 

Tuna and Cereal.

You should have tried this shit in the testing phase when can openers were harder to find than M4s.

I don't mind needing tools to open cans. 

What I don't mind is that cans that very clearly have pull tabs inexplicably need some other tool to open them.

 

Granted, I know that's probably because they'd have to make a completely new item type to account for that, but even so.  It can eat into the suspension of disbelief a bit.

Not to mention I've found at least one can opener if not two every single life I've had so far. :) They are not THAT rare. I can only assume people are overlooking them in their rush to get to Ballota/NWAF/Firehalls.

..., will you bash it against a rock, use the end of your torch or stab it with some kind of sharp instrument, 

Not even needed dude. Check it. All you need is a flat rock/concrete surface.

Apparently. They were the SA equivalent of Mountain Dew.

Stop that

You can open a can by grinding the top of it against concrete for a minute or two without worrying about losing anything like you would by bashing it. How about a one minute, interrupt-able action to do so?

i have yet to find either so i have so much joys ahead of me.

I agree i think its an awesome feature i dont understand how people are taking this the wrong way, i was just posing the funny real life situation to it.

 

 

CHHIIIILLLL

You're raging again. Just breathe.

In.

Out.

There we go, that's better :)

If it's meant to be a joke you forgot the punchline, it's generally considered quite an important part of a joke, y'know, the part that makes it funny.

Need one can opener.... Find 86 motorcycle helmets instead.

First day of Alpha, before you could drink from wells, I had 13 cans of food, two can openers and no soda/canteens/water bottles. I was staying alive by eating tuna and sardines and praying they had enough moisture in them I would get to my friend who had the opposite issue. Three canteens, couple cans of food, no can opener. :)

Did you miss the part where i said gtfo

[LouisK 85]

Total 20 hours on record, 40 joint with my brother and 60 with my friend and we have yet to find a can opener. We scouted for it in a lot of towns and even all of the buildings on zelenogorsk which were not looted. I only found a completely ruined one in the body of a server hopper we smashed at NWAF last night on my last 5 mins of play.

 

Either ways the future patches and all will make it possible thatt you can open things with anything sharp, right now it is currently bugged I believe.

Someone just got here and already needs a time-out on the naughty step.

It's a public forum, you throwing a temper tantrum isn't going to make anyone listen to you (not that they were listening to you before).

Generally posts are meant to have a purpose here, if you want to act silly and try to make jokes there is an Off-Topic section towards the bottom of the forum.
