Broken ribs

[blackberrygoo 1416]

We all know and love the classic dayz broken leg syndrome ... I want to enhance this potentially annoying feature by adding the ability to break ribs as well .

Besides the obvious down side of pain , after breaking a rib your character would run 50% slower maybe also not be able to run forever like we can do currently .

Breaking a rib could occur in many different ways , mostly from blunt objects hitting your body and small caliber firearms . As soon as the rib breaks you hear the classic bone break sound and can still fight regularly without much of a stance change , but you will also attack with melee at a reduced damage % because you can't fully use your body to swing .

Ways to cure broken ribs could be a type of wrap that goes around your body that would act as a splint , or maybe even adding in a "lay down" hot key like f7 , that way if no body wraps can be found you could lay down a lot in between running to eventually mend the bones.

I believe a more in-depth medical system was confirmed prior to the release and it's uncertain if it'll be available in this stage. We'll see.

 

Other bones being broken other than legs would be great!

i like the idea get hit with a bat a few times and you break a rib or two.  You start walking around in pain looking for morphine or something to wrap it.  I don't know how far would be too far with realism like different broken bones but little details like broken ribs or maybe even arms would be fun to see.
