draconis99 4 Posted February 11, 2014 Everyone is always about going out and finding guns to shoot people. If there were a zombie apocalypse and I needed to go into town to find supplies, the first thing I would do is protect myself. Grab some duct-tape and books/magazines and make shields for my arms.Strap a phone book to my chest to make me more bulletproof.Carry around a metal trash can lid for a shield to deflect and protect.Find an old decorative wall shield and make use out of it.Shin guards from soccer (futbol).Biker gloves.Roller skate shoes/attachments for shoes.Football shoulder pads. And of course, the coveted military riot shield. These items better protect players from damage/chance to bleed, add options and gameplay to one handed melee, and would be useful for charging/ramming into people to tackle them down. This game is about survival, yes? Why so much killing and not more surviving? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
basinox 300 Posted February 11, 2014 I do agree that we need more defencive gear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dchil 829 Posted February 11, 2014 Here's the thing, a trash can lid will not stop anything higher than a BB gun (and sometimes that is enough to punch through) meaning that it works horribly against anyone using a gun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rudette 435 Posted February 11, 2014 I would like the football shoulder pads for that mad-max aesthetic.Though it wouldn't be practical or probably even in Chernarus lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can I just say that when Brad Pitt stuck those onto his arms that was literally the ONLY moment in that movie I enjoyed, Freakin' genius zombie protective gear!, I do wonder why more people never don this kind of makeshift armor in zombie movies, so many deaths could be avoided. My hockey gear + a couple of strategically taped magazines would probably save me from ALL zombie bites :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
