Makeshift armour?

Recommended Posts

Using the salvage from around Chernarus people should be able to protect themselves from Bandits who KOS who horde with makeshift clothing items that resist damage . . . . 

 

Also make the weapons, ammo and attachments even rarer

 

How does that sound?

Pretty bad, in my opinion. I was very much a rager when I got killed, and it still gets to me now, but the game is basically just that.. You come across gear, you kill people, people kill you. Rinse and repeat. Until the game can progress where it's much more of a survival theatre, protect yourself from large groups of zombie, barricade building etc then the game will always be in a player vs player situation.

Take my advice, if you spawn and want to get away from the bad guys, do it swiftly! The map is a lot bigger than you may think and it doesn't take a lot of time to find a low pop server and run somewhere other that Berezino/Svetlojarsk/NEAF.

  Getting the KOS'ers one at a time on the train track in to svetlojarsk, look at them, all wearing the same uniforms, they are everywhere!! (duplicating, exploiting, cheating, dirty motherf***). :D , here, in our home made armor, we tried to make them all pay. :). lol. COME ON!!!!! YOU BA********!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

On topic though, who wouldnt at least shove a few baking trays down their tops with gun toting madmen everywhere you go :). I actually think if it was done right, its a good suggestion, maybe smelting down metals on the fireplaces like on the mod, a certain number of scrap metals created, combined with leather from hunting, buckles from belts, there you have a makeshift bullet proof vest for a certain amount of protection from shots (caliber depending etc).  I dont see why not, they did it medieval times after all, a break down of the industrial civilization and tesco closing wouldnt mean where back in the stoneage.
