ghasteater100 5 Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) So, currently headgear that is hard protects us a little bit, motorbike helmets stop blows to the head, ballistic helmets stop bullets in the head, they definitely serve a purpose. Therefore, maybe if someone were to punch a very hard helmet such as a ballistic helmet, it could cause an effect to the one who punched it, such as a fractured hand or maybe just a bit of blood lost. This could stop newspawns killing fully kitted out players by knocking them out(it's really annoying when it happens to you). Motorbike helmets and hard hats are made of plastic which probably wouldn't hurt that much if punched so I don't think it should hurt the puncher there. Just an idea.

Ubernaut 297 Posted April 15, 2014 OP is right. Human hands are fragile. This is a good idea. I wouldn't say blood loss, but definitely pain, shock, fracture, loss of accuracy, diminished melee damage, and possibly the inability to properly hold things or use items could all be side effects of punching people and things all willy-nilly. Man, I wish there was a grappling system in this game. Imagine running up to somebody and putting them in a choke-hold while your buddy stabbed them or something.

Wili 156 Posted April 15, 2014 I think punching walls and cars, ballistic helmets for example should give some damage to your hands also. Gloves should reduce the damage taken and given by punching, just a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
triage 117 Posted April 15, 2014 This is just..... to realistic. Punching a wall and taking damage? What happens if you punch the wall on accident? Not such a good idea, we're all still playing a game here people.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wili 156 Posted April 15, 2014 If you punch a wall on accident you would receive just a few scratches, if you keep punching the wall the wound would become worse and worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
irishroy 1347 Posted April 15, 2014 If you punch a wall on accident you would receive just a few scratches, if you keep punching the wall the wound would become worse and worse.Then, you also should just receive a few scratches when hitting a helmet, because the char in-game hits always with the same speed. IMO, this idea is (a bit) too realistic. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Aquatic Land Walrus 565 Posted April 15, 2014 Unless you're that one guy from infamous: Second Son who can smash concrete.But, srs. I think this'd be nice. If you were to punch a ballistic helmet irl, your hand would be pretty shaken up. I think something like the inability to punch for a few seconds after due to light shock would be a nice feature.gosh dern helmets, blocking our fists and shagging our flashlights.

Wili 156 Posted April 15, 2014 Then, you also should just receive a few scratches when hitting a helmet, because the char in-game hits always with the same speed.yes, on the first punches to the helmet you would receive just a few scratches but after some more punches the wound would became worse.
