Loot at military bases

[Gdaddy22 299]

In my opinion, it's way too easy to get a military loot in a military base. Military base spawns the best loot in the game, so it should be also difficult. What I mean by that is we should add more zombies in a military base, and most zombies would be infected soldiers or guards with bulletproof vests still on their bodies, so we would have to aim at their head, There should be so many zombies that it would be impossible to loot military base with an axe or baseball bat, we would need a weapon and it would be recommended to teamwork with somebody. Thoughts ?

I believe that something similar might be already planned for when the servers will be able to support more zombies and those will have been reworked ;)

I don't agree most of the military do not wear vests on base, only way I see them wearing it is when they have a drill and need to wear full combat.

I agree that it should be more difficult

 

Also, I don't think the best gear besides guns should also spawn at military bases. I can literally get everything I need to sustain myself at a military base, which makes the game way too easy.

In Australia at the Gallipoli barracks which is biggest in Australia and much bigger then anywere in chernarus the only people in the base wearing vests or carrying guns are those doing training or practice or marches with your weapons not even the guards have guns.

I think that's a great idea, was thinking that to myself. It would also add realism to the environment, as it is only logical military employees would have died/infected and risen there.

The loot is stronger there to create more pvp if you're on a populated server it's very rare to find it unguarded by another player...  but if you're playing on low pop night servers... Well then that's different... The military bases are the last stands so therefore it's suppose to have high loot count. Eventually Rocket already said he is wanting to add a heavy amount of zombies but you have to take in account how much loot, vehicles, players, and NPC's there are so slowly they will be adding zombies in as well as smaller hordes that roam apparently.

During an ongoing zombie apocalypse (or any form of massive social disruption like that), probably with a nationwide state of emergency declared, you can be pretty sure that any military personal on duty would be combat ready. Therefore, it stands to reason that any military personal that have become zombies would likely be wearing their combat gear.

 

In line with this, an interesting dynamic could be having random military zombies carrying grenades that may explode if shot. Shooting an army zombie would not only run the risk of not actually killing them due to the body armour, but runs the risk of causing a loud explosion that would obviously kill anything in close proximity, but also alert anything in the vacinity. Agroing an entire base of zombies would be a very bad move indeed.
