Ukranian Riot police uniforms

[gibonez 3633]

As a result of this glorious man here.

 

We should have this riot police/military gear be in dayz.

[TomJeff 12]

This kind of blue camo would be a good addition as pant and shirt type. Riot helmets should also be in the game (and be spray paintable). The vests they are weaing are already ingame. These things I agree with.

 

On a side note, and I don't mean to flame you; Please dont bring politicized issues into game development. Your attitude towards a very real and serious current event, I personally feel, is flippant and inappropriate. People are getting hurt dying in real life over non-trivial political issues. LETS LEAVE IT THERE THOUGH AND NOT DISCUSS POLITICS FURTHER WITHIN THIS THREAD.

 

Please lets discuss the desirability of Blue/Grey Tigerstripe camo shirts and pants. I think they would fit and have a use. Particularly as a kind of Anti-TTKSO uniform. A uniform which is NOT trying to be camo, but is just as "tacticool" as TTKSO.

 

edit: By the way, in second picture one of the guys(protester?) is wearing a TTKSO jacket. Makes me want to make an image macro saying something like "I told them I was friendly, they KOS me for my gear"

All for appropriate gear being in the game. Gear and stuff uou find should mirror the back story of why we are in this area.

Military checkpoints are another thing. As you know that before it went to shit totally they at least had to try to contain this. I keep thinking about the TV series The Walking Dead. You see all sorts of last stand areas if you would call it that where you could see they fought or tried to contain and control areas.

Totally agree with the idea of ballistic helmets and other kinds of riot gear. Would be nice if those items also added some kind of protection against bullets. Right now when you're walking around with a ballistic helmet, TtKSO jacket, a military vest and all that kind of stuff, one shot from a mosin would still be enough to kill you.

[TomJeff 12]

Actually a mosin bullet will puncture just about any armor in real life. Including most steel plates. Easily any helmet in existence. Steel plates would not be 100% effective in stopping a round. Maybe agree it should make an instant death wound into a "treat within 10 seconds or die" wound.

 

Thats just how it is. The mosin round (7.62x52R?) is a HUGE round with a ton on energy. Its comparable to 30.06. Aint much thats going to stop one.

[Combine (DayZ) 247]

F' yeah, bring in that kind of gear.

 

1) Realistic to see there

2) Good gameplay addition

 

Technical stuff, values, etc:

 

If we talk about riot gear, we'd talk about melee protection (mostly, I guess). Or very light ballistic protection due to the nature of it. They all want to reduce the amounts of (military grade) firearms anyway, so we should eventually see an increase of melee weapons. Or a higher importance of them. This would basically be a nice addition then.

 

But don't just add riot gear such as vests, helmets, pants with pads, gloves or jackets (pads, padded, etc). Add alternative variants, some perhaps defaced or likewise for the bandits, some more pristine for any good people, and perhaps homemade variants altogether.

This. Flippant and inappropriate.
