Stealth kills; strangulation, suffocation or hunting knife.

[rickyriot 1009]

Ok, so I am setting myself up for the serial killer jokes here, but bare with me.

You have very little ammo, you have a group of players all tracking you down, you make your way to one of the industrial estates, you see that they split up (in true Scooby-Doo style) and you want to take them out one by one in a stealth style-ee. At present there is no way to do this. DayZ shouldn't be all about scoping someone from 1km or emptying a 20 clip. Stealth kills would also allow you to kill them without any damage to their gear.

You know I'm right, even if it makes me a bit creepy suggesting it.. ;)

I would LOVE good stealth mechanics.  They have a such a long way to go to be able to implement them though...sound is such a critical part of any stealth system and let's be honest sound isn't a strength of this game right now...

Piano wire. :D

[Rudette 435]

As someone who loves axe murdering people, I would love for more avenues of murder to be opened up. Not a fan of guns. Guns are too quick.
I would like the sharp stabby weapons to be more..meaningful.. I mean.. Why use one for anything but opening cans when it takes 2 dozen strikes for someone to feel it?

Axe to the back of the head works pretty well! :P

[res 373]

Let me strangle the enemy against the floor while having to press a key really fast during 30 seconds or one minute while I watch him helplessly trying to escape by kicking the floor and convulsing, losing strenght in his arms with each second as I see his eyes asking for mercy and finally life leaving him, and this game will be on a whole new level of admiration for me.

[rickyriot 1009]

An axe is fine, and certainly a solution for zombies, but it's all a bit Bateman don't think? No finesse, no style.

I'm loving the piano wire idea, especially if it managed to stop people using VOIP (although obviously TS would still be an issue).

Just think of it though, you creep up behind someone, get the hunting knife out, hand over the mouth, blade between the ribs and you're just left going.. "shhh... shhh... shhhh.. that's right, you sleep now". :D

You know, it's  disconcerting the way you describe that. Almost as if YOU HAVE DONE THAT BEFORE!  :ph34r:

There are stealth kills in the game already! Or well.. at least it was quiet.

I went to the kitchen to find something to drink, came back and was dead. 

Now.. I stood afk inside a building in Zelenegorsk on DE-03 experimental ( regular ), pitch black night and no moon, so even the gamma trick didn't work properly, yet someone apparently found and killed me without as much as a sound. Rather curious I think.

Nah, don't worry about that, I'm no killer, I just have my own way with words and describing violent acts. I mean who hasn't been in some crazy fights, but no, I would hate to have to do that to someone if it's not behind the screen.

 

I could only do that to someone who hurts people I like to wind me up.

 

As I said, no worries, I just get really creative with that stuff.

Flipping a head and breaking the neck sounds perfect. You know, like the badass villains always do.

Do we work for the same employer?

DayZ Hitman.

He works for beans.

Considering that you can sneak up on someone without them hearing your footsteps right now allows you to kill them with an axe very easily and quietly.  I think that is about the best we are going to get though.

Might want to see a doctor about that?  :o

Even if you were handcuffed?

That's why we handcuff people with their hands stuck behind their back.

[GpB311 236]

His hands were behind his back until he brought them down under his legs when he stood up.

I think being able to do that when handcuffed would remove much of the point of having handcuffs anyway though.

Dark forests, stealthy kills, being hunted down. They drew first blood

I was just going to say that.

 

Handcuffs should work like they do now.
