A couple of ideas to make characters unique.

[ugi68 2]

So I have been playing with my 3 mates and we all end up looking the same, fully fed (or very close). Generally all green with green bag, ballistics helmet and gas mask. I find everybody else looks like this also.

 

So I have a couple of ideas to spice it up just a touch.

 

First: What about putting scissors into the game and when you have a pair and a bit of paper this could open up a stencil creator for stencilling logos onto your helmet. Ofc you would have to find spraypaint also.

 

Second: A similar idea with needle and thread enabling you to sew logos onto backpacks and clothes. 

 

I feel like this would be really cool to have a unique visable logo for you and your friends.

 

Anyway.... Let me know what you think.

On this topic, we should also have sharpies. With a sharpie, I imagine you can do the following things:

When you walk up to a player that's handcuffed with a sharpie in hand, you can hold their head still and an interface pops up that allows you to draw on their face. If the player struggles while you hold their head and draw, the interface shakes and can screw up your drawing.

If you have a mirror, you can hold the mirror in one hand and the sharpie in another and you can draw on your own face.

For both instances, if you are in shock, the interface will shake a bit (or maybe your lines just come out weird because your hand should be shaking)

I feel this should be added just for bandits to have more things to do other than depantsing victims.

--Edit--

Also stickers would be cool to find ingame as well. Perhaps in those stores you see in cities, there's a chance you can find stickers?

I agree that we need more clothing variety, colors and player customization. But I don't know if the devs has planned anything about it. It's a good idea.

Once there is more loot variety, they can adjust spawn rate of all "tacti-cool" clothing (olive or camo'ed) and this problem will vanish.

I agree, that some way of "marking" players would be cool, like color rag wrapped around your helmet or hand or such would be cool.

 

But this has been beaten to the death previously, devs are aware, it's up to them to decide.

Something like Arma's squad.xml would be nice. You just upload a pic and it gets overlayed over specific spots in clothing and vehicles.

Im sure what we have now regards clothing is a small chunk as apposed to what will be in the full game. Things like gas masks and camo clothing I guess will be much more rare. Where civy cloths will be the norm, with a lot more variation.
