Destroying Weapons/loot

[Zardoz75 22]

I know weapons and loot can be destroyed if the player carrying them is shot, but what about being able to destroy it as we find it? For example I find an M4 but I already have one. I want to be able to ruin the one on the ground so no one else can use it. Any plans for this?

now thats just mean!

[RickJones 16]

Agreed with meat pie.

 

Plus, there's the reverse side on your idea... You could, let's say, get cuffed, and have all your gear ruined... ;)

[DeatHTaX 1217]

Well lucky for me it's alpha right now and any gun you ruin I can still use to kill you with because Alpha is alpha bro :D

 

You're a dick lol :P

Me and a buddy already tried with the axe....No dice.

[MikeReverb 49]

Haha! I've often had the same desire, Zardoz75!

 

A kind of Scorched Earth approach: destroy all the supplies that could help the enemy.

 

I come across shotguns and M4's that I can't use, and when I get shot sometime in the next few hours, i can't help but wonder if the guy used a shotgun I left behind. Sort of like how they left that German alive in Saving Private Ryan who comes back stabs one of the crew in the heart.

 

At least you can hide bodies that have loot on them, but dammit, I don't want another player eating that fresh banana. Lemme blow it up!

[YassirX 54]

We need to be able to destroy the buildings which are carrying the loot... that's more effective.

I know how this works, I'm Rambo... but the game does not let me, Fuk'em.

Like someone said this would be great when you handcuff someone. Destroy his weapons so you can let him live without having to worry about being shot once he is free,and the victim has to either repair his weapon or find a new one.

I've tried to do this before to no avail. If i REALLY don't want anyone else to have whatever item i find, I'll just take it into my hands and drop it in the middle of a field somewhere  :P

[limp-jaffa-cake 0]

what about if you carry on shooting up dead bodies, does their undamaged loot become ruined?

[Window Licker 504]

Ahem... you can't destroy, but I've stripped all attachments off then used a weapons "cleaning kit" on it dumping the attachments at random as I walked about, also if you right click the clips while they are on the ground and choose to empty it will make the ammo disappear. Leaving a bunch of empty clips laying about...

i disassemble the parts off the M4s and leave at random places all over the map.

Server hoppers would destroy all m4 on all servers everywhere.

[Sinphaltimus 262]

The past few times I've been killed I can hear the killer emptying more rounds into my already dead body. I presume, ruining everything on purpose. No inclination to loot. I guess you can only ruin stuff in someone else's inventory. You could try putting things in a pack and then shooting the pack. When I'm on a mean streak, I'll just pick up the extra m4 and ditch it in the bushes, pond or garbage pile.

Yep, lowest common denominator of player wins.

 

KOS = Win

 

Destroy Loot = Win

 

Hero = Epic Fail

We are making the world a safer place, if you can't "Hero" properly that's your issue not our's, I understand what your trying to say but it comes across as bitter.  I was doing lookout in Berezino yesterday and some fresh spawn hide near by and tried to convince me he was gonna snipe me if I didn't drop my gun. After I fired about 50 rounds in his general area he ran out and tried to accuse me of killing fresh spawns these are the same type of players who server hop till they get a gun then open fire and C-Log when you return fire.  Destroying the M4's and emptying ammo is my way of griefing these players right back.

 

The exchange went down not 100 metre's from where I'd once given a new player my M4 and about 300 metre's from where I gave a new player an M4 the week before.  I help new players where I can sometimes by guiding them to towns where supplies are more likely, or simply leading them to water. 

 

I die a lot, You wanna help go right ahead, but don't come posting all butthurt that you get killed doing it cos that's just the facts of life.

Nope. You can't reload ruined Weapons / Ammo

No plans for this, but what I like to do is gather them all up and drop them at the bottom of a lake or pond. And who ATM goes anywhere near some of those ponds. There's too many guns anyway, and they get in the way of people thinking.

[Pandema 352]

You can already ruin M4s you find on the ground. Just pull off everything you can and go put them somewhere else.

[DarkwaveDomina 1099]

The only thing I ever want to prevent other players from looting is firearms. If I find a firearm, and I think there's a decent chance someone will find it shortly after me passing through, I will "take it in to hands" and leave it somewhere in the grass where it won't be found. Simples.

[Slyguy65 499]

You should be able to disable a gun though you no pop the chambering system or whatever they do in the movies out to prevent the gun from firing properly.

 

Would be nice if we could "disable" guns and lay them as traps or when handing them over. Or something IDK.

[crazykage 1063]

LOL. Ive already been doing this.

Whenever I find an M4, if I don't already have a gun, or if I am trading my M4 for a mosin (which I prefer), I will ALWAYS take the sights, handguard, and butstock off the gun, put them in my inventory, and dump them somewhere nearby that a player would likely not look (like in a bush, or dense grass, etc).

Of course, IRL I would simply pop the rear retaining pin, flip up the upper receiver, and pull out the entire bolt carrier group, which would be much quicker and simpler. But that's IRL....
