wave white flag or put on backpack?

[mr pedersen 42]

We all know everybody is afraid that they will get shoot when the bump into another player. A lot of players shoot first and ask question later. Maby this would be a tool to help us show that we come in peace and are friendly.

 

Wave a white flag!

One way could be that you could find a stick then use a rag or bandage to make a white flag that you could hold in your hand or equipe on backpack.

 

Inventory:

 

Stick/branch

rags/bandage

Craft:  stick + rags/bandage = white flag on a stick.

 

 

Bandits going to shoot anyway but it is maby one step forward for us who really want to show that we come in peace or surrender?

There will be as****** who is gonna just show the white flag, then put the axe into your very deep skull when they get too close.

They kinda have this already if you put your hands up instantly and lean from left to right or wave and do it or just wave also high fives. Though what you suggest would be cool only problem is it kind of puts a target on your but like you said they are gonna shoot anyways. If it wasn't a stick sticking up life a flag pole off your back then it would be interesting to see. I think making armbands would be cool too having player designated colors for bandits heros neutrals and other types. They did add a UN beret to the game so I am hoping that can be a way to say "I'm here to help don't shoot please friendly" would be nice.

 

Edit: Another thing is that stick+rags are already a crafting recipe for a splint. It is going to have to be a different combo or new variants of rags/sticks.

This is a general problem with the game though (I don't mean like a problem we need to solve). There are gonna be ass hats who take advantage of in-game "camouflage". Be it saying hey I'm friendly its cool then blasting you or being a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Stick plus rags equals crutch for fixing broken bones.

or when you craft it you get two options in the craft menu, Craft:

 

*Crutch

*White Flag

 

problem solved.

 

If you put it on your backpack you could then still have your weapon in hand and still show that you are friendly.

That is the problem now it two players meet with both have M4-carbine its just who shoots first because both think the other guy is bandit.

 

So if one of them see the other has a white flag on his backpack he MIGHT just dont shoot first.

 

Still some one might just troll you wave a white flag and get you to get close and move out from you hiding spot then the trap close and you all die.

But still it adds somthing new and cool feature I belive.
