I personally think Guns Should be Even more Rare or... We should have more improvised weapons

[leviski 2152]

I think we should make guns even more rare, yes I know alot of you will read this and say, Well I have yet to see a gun! except for when someone shot me!

 

See people useually claim the guns right when the server restarts and blah blah so on and so forth.

 

I think guns should be like gold. Given how effective they are, might as well make them well worth the find.

 

Notably I rarley find a mosin but logging into a server after a day of work and walking into a fire station I normally find a pistol, and if I am lucky a m4 in a police house.

 

 

However, My other idea is make some way to make improvised weapons. 

 

For instance, If you have ever played SS13 fire extinguishers can be used as makeshift guns, You can shoot things out of them. Id love to see this put in the game.

 

Think of seeing someone shoot a screw driver at you and having it stick right into your neck, ouch!

 

Funny as it may sound it is very possible.

 

Are there any improvised guns/weapons you could think of that could make it into the SA?

Obviously your aware that the Alpha doesn't have all the guns yet, so i'll move onto my next point.

 

How about a slingshot? You can pickup sticks, so why not pickup rocks, and rope or something and craft a slingshot, could be effective if used distracting zombies?

I think preventing server hopping would make them rare enough. Except those M4s. I can't NOT find them.

I would love to see something like that

Yes Server hopping does make it EXTREMELY easy to get fully geared in 30 seconds.

[Chronos Blackburn 149]

Instead of making guns harder to get, just make server hopping hard. i.e: Private Hives, or what ever rocket was talking about to stop server hoping.

 

If you play the game legit and do not server hop, then you will be at a disadvantage and be killed.

[Wo3dy 111]

in other games crafting weapons as such is fine. but in SA its not the way rocket wants to go asfar as i know. and i hope he wont.

 

just some old weaponry from ww2 and ill be happy

That's how I feel with the mosin

 

Always finding M4's :P

[leviski 2152]

Lets think about this.

 

 

Im sure there is some way to make a makeshift gun that can only shoot...what maybe one bullet?

 

Have it very in-accurate but useful none the less.

 

Think of Rust if you have ever played that game.

 

You can make pipe shotguns and flintlock pistols but they are terribly sucky and cant hit shit.

 

Id just like to see an alternative to guns, Make them a big deal, I want full fledged fear when One is being pointed at me.

I think weapon spawn was very good in dayz mod and it should be the same here.

Time will tell guys :D 

 

Just give the Mods/Devs time to get the basic's perfected. 

 

I'm Lead to believe that they are doing a spectacular job atm addressing feedback and fixing this game at one bug at a time.

[IcyZ 295]

My opininon is more "coast" weapons, less north ones. 

 

I remember the first month of the mod, where even an AK iron sights was considered great gear and not "just another rifle". 

 

When the full gun list is added, making pistols and shotguns and maybe PDWs more common until you hit NWAF or NEAF, should make people stop staying at the coast and head north to find gear

Was in a 40/40 server yestrday, 4 hours raiding NWAF, NEAF and vybor barrackses, never saw a single person.

 

Now, improvised weapons should be added. I mean we got screw drivers, wrenches, rope, tape, we should be able to craft something easy.

 

Like alcohol+rag+matches=molotov coctail :)

Mosins are rare, M4 are easy to find in military areas

My penis.

 

I would like to make a spear.

To me, weapons are ridiculously easy to find in the DayZ Mod. I'd rather not we go back to that density.

 

Get a lee within 5 minutes of spawn and I'll be able to take on even those dastardly elektro snipers if I wanted. I want my life to be more valuable here.

 

However, with it being alpher I'm game to test many things and expect as much.

Every third person I see has one.

Pop round to those military bases.

Find a northerly one and you can literally find 3 in one building.

I found 2-3 in the Zelengorsk police station.

I think same amount of people should have guns, but of a great range of civilian guns.

Still haven't seen double barrel or working pistol once, seen a mosin once.

More than half the guns I have seen are M4's :( that isn't right if you ask me.

sorry, but haven't the Devs had like 2 years to learn some lessons? Everything I am reading is that it's following the exact same path as the mod did.

And no, I have neither bought nor played SA, coz NOTHING is selling it to me. (Yes, it's Alpha blah blah, so was the mod when it first started, and I couldn't get enough of that...well until it filled with dickwads.)

[MrNomadic76 39]

I think military grade weapons, once all weapons are in the game, should be super, super rare, with more domestic weapons becoming the commonly used gear. Shotguns, revolvers, 9mm's, and hunting rifles being spawned in particular buildings. I feel this game has a chance to go further than the mod did and allowing everyone to run around with DMR's, AS50's and M249's doesn't encourage close up, balls to the wall firefights, instead you get killed without even knowing half the time where the shot came from. Everyone should have an even chance or at least less chance of being sniped from 800m out.
