Maug 0 Posted June 24, 2012 Kinda like the ones you use on a ship. You shoot it up in the air and it will keep hanging, lighting up a great area Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginger Beard 0 Posted June 24, 2012 I second this. A flare gun would not only look good and light up a vast area it would also signal friends to your location and also give it away to other players. It could create interesting situations. Maybe nearby zombies are attracted to it and start to shamble over but not actualy agroed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smithdogg 0 Posted June 24, 2012 Can you maybe already do this with m240 flare on m16. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dreganius (DayZ) 55 Posted June 24, 2012 A Flare gun would be very interesting, although it would have to be reasonably uncommon considering it's not something you would use every day. Would it use its own ammunition, or generic Road Flares/Chemlights? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it would be like a tool then you equip it like the flashlight? and it would use secondary ammo?Can you maybe already do this with m240 flare on m16.As i've understood, the m240 just shoot them further. What i'm talking about is they actually stay in the air, maybe falling down very slow, after 10-20 mins? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dreganius (DayZ) 55 Posted June 24, 2012 I've never heard of a flare hovering in the air for 10 minutes. If it were to happen I personally would hope to see it function in a much more realistic manner. It'd fall slower than other flares, but not hover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deuzerre 64 Posted June 24, 2012 This? Looks like the time it is in the air is really short Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barnard401 0 Posted June 24, 2012 It would be cool, but I wouldn't call it a priority to be added, still a cool idea though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slyer109 0 Posted June 24, 2012 I want to add. If you use Flare Fire - Zombie will be attracted with it. But if you use Flare rocket, thiy won`t. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DatBear 0 Posted June 24, 2012 Would be a great thing. There would also be a "less" chance to spot you when you shoot it, as you can shoot those flares from a more far distance than throwing flares. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
