Do you want firearms to be rarer?

[Zjasuu 337]

I think there are way too many firearms in the game and I think they should be very, very, very much harder to find. Right now everyone has a weapon, I think it should take 10 hours to find a long range weapon.

[DarkwaveDomina 1099]

I support the idea of rarer firearms, I think ten hours is a lot though.

For a long rage it isn't, for a normal weapon maybe something like 2-3 hours.

Anyway, it's really too easy to find M4s

[Karmaterror 982]

Id say yes much more rare....but I also think that's the plan already. This is just the way it is for alpha, and while we wait for the loot respawn system to handle it ;)

rarerer..er.

[rickyriot 1009]

Rarer? As in uncooked.  :rolleyes:

If you're including shotguns and such in that category, then I agree. Maybe the .22 rifles when they are in the game too.

 

Someone with an M4 (and good at using it) should be quite formidable, at least when the M4 works anything like it does in real life, as such I think they should be more rare. I say this as someone who tends to favour the M4 over any other weapon, I find so many of them just lying around it's a little beyond a joke.

Exactly my thoughts, small arms should be the way to go in the beginning of your characters life.

I sure hope it's their plan...  :rolleyes:

The only reason they're so common at the moment is for testing/balancing. The devs have already made it clear that as more basic/improvised ranged weapons are implemented they're going to reduce the common-ness of bullet-shooting weapons.

[rickyriot 1009]

btw, my 2 cents worth. You can't limit loot based on time. Will weapons of all types and ammo be less common in the future? Yes, they will. Just now it really is a sandbox. You don't create an experimental build adjusting the bullet trajectory, for example, then make the weapons difficult to find in order to test them it out.

Fire arms aren't rare as it is in most countries.  Add the fact that most people are dead and the fire arms to people ratio is very high.

 

If you are looking for an artificial reduction for some gaming purpose, then reducing ammo drops would be far more logical than reducing fire arms.  Likewise, if we are looking exclusively at a gaming perspective, fixing the idiotic melee system would be essential to any reduction in fire arm drops.

You're right. I love the feeling when I find ammo for my empty weapon  :P and I must fire them only when I need to... 1 hour later ammo box full of bullets... SHOOT EVERY ZOMBIE!!!

 

But if the firearms stay as common as they are now I don't want to carry around 4 different weapons with me and looking for ammo for any one of them.

 

If ammo and firearms would be made more rare it would be a wonderful feeling to find a gun and later ammo for it :3

 

 

 

BTW: I think guns should have a chance to spawn loaded.

This is a great idea, i rarely unload my rifles (magazines and internal mags) but i do take the bullet out of the barrel.

[Dennus (DayZ) 123]

Well, rarer fire-arms would be ok.

 

But.... why not make the bullets extremely rare.

Imagine only having 5 of them. You'll think twice before you shoot.

[stc105 14]

You don't need rarity. I agree with Demoth's idea, read his idea:

Imagine if this was set in USA.

 

Guns everywhere. They would literally just be lying in the streets because no one wants them.

[TheWanderingMan 170]

Guns should be un-common but ammo should be very hard to come by.

 

^There is enough gun and ammo in the USA to last twenty years into the apocalypse.

Umm... guys... this game isn't based on the USA

Pretty much this.

Rarer than what?  You're question implies a comparison but nothing is provided against which to make a comparison.  Also your question implies degree of difference.  If the current state of firearms availability is A then what are you proposing the future state B should be?  50% of A? 10% of A? 25% of A?

 

Your question is poorly phrased and therefore cannot be responded to.  Your poll is useless as a result of this reality.  

 

This is truly a case of:

I'll bite, because boredom.

I'd like rarity with a sense of progression/If it adds to that sense of progression.

You know that feeling you get when you melee someone down who has a gun? Like you're a tiny little caveman who has somehow taken out a mammoth?
If we start having tiered little craftables that help emulate that sense of progression elsewhere then that would be lovely.


I mean.. Who doesn't want to go into battle in Mad Max scrap metal/tire rubber ramshod armor armed with a wrist mounted crossbow, facing people with high tier military loot?
I rest my case.
