Non-Lethal Weapons

[Oakatsura 9]

One thing this game could definately benefit from is Non-Lethal Weapon Additions, things like tazers, stun guns, pepper spray, CS-Gas Grenades, things that ultimately help players become easier to restraint without simply walking up to them and using a boasting broad voice to make an appeal that the player should put up his hands and be put into submission.

 

Basically adding a Sub-Dual Mechanic to the way Blood is calculated but more like Resistance scale. Things like Pepper Spray, Tear Gas (CS Gas), and tazers would allow for short range disarmement of a situation without killing the other player outright, or defusing a situation, or simply creating a way to get around players without resorting to simplying shooting them dead, or mamming them senseless.

 

Pepper Spray would effectively reduce visuals with minimal or moderate use, and temporarily blind characters with excessive and extreme use.

 

CS Gas, the same way but effects an area, player using gas masks would be uneffected by this.

 

Things like Tranquilizer darts, Tranquilizer Bottles, Sedatives, and Paralytics as well as poisons would also need to be added, with the addition of probably making needle mounted arrows, same with the hunting system arrow creation or modification, allowing a player to arm a arrow with a needle tip from a Hydrodermic needle, or dart to be used for a range non-lethal or take down effect.

 

Also a Blowgun might be a good implementation too, I am sure there are a lot of people out there, that would want something like that in this game, a silent, and effective short - mid range dart projecting weapon.

 

Other forms of non-lethal that can be taken advantage of early, rubber bullet rounds, flashbangs, etc are also good and had been meantioned by other players.

 

Effectiveness of Non-Lethal Arsanels are to Restrain without killing a player, or make capturing easier without putting the player at greater danger after a failed diplomatic measure. aka "Hands Up!"

Id be down for a little dart gun. And these weapons sound rather quiet also, as to not attract attention.

wow do you people just ignore the search function??? tasers have been tested already to some degree and there are tons, I mean TONS of posts on non-lethal weapons - I still don't get the point of it but.. whatever.
