Play Dead

[MarcOwaR 29]

A feature where you can pretend your dead would be cool... a player would come over and ya could quickly sit up and draw you're pistol on them... Risky way to catch a player off guard but it would create a shock for them :D

 

Could trick a few snipers and other bandits if there was a big gun fight. could be a sneaky way to stop being shot at.

 

at a dis-advantge though if you get greedy with "Play Dead" and they decide to shot again just to make sure :p

Its a good idea, but would be better if you could tell if you looked closely if someone was playing dead. Like shallow breathing (mabe audible too) or reactions to being hit.

Exactly why they should also introduce gasoline....

I would love this idea for certain occasions , of course the animation would have to be really quick and not clunky like it is for chamging weapons now .I don't wanna switch to my pistol then to my hands then back to my pistol when I try this move =P

Or when playing dead, it looks no different than if you are actually dead.

 

With that said, you can do dead checks which is when you nut tap someone or flick their eyeball. Obviously with nut tapping, there is going to be a pain reaction whereas there is involuntary muscle movement when flicking someone's eye. So maybe when coming up on a body, you can do a "dead check" by clicking their body.

 

You can always put two more additional rounds into a body to ensure it's dead as well.
