BOOM!

[gannon46 788]

I hope this patch mr.hicks spoke of has improvised explosives I can't wait to set off a charge on some douche bag campers.ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh its going to feel so good to hear the BOOOOOOOOOM i'll have to hook up my subs so I get the full effect. what do u think put one in the grocery stores possibly the jails maybe even the trunk of a car i'll put an M4 there that'll get the ball rolling haha anyone else hoping for this. I'm not a PVP guy either but bombs now that takes some thinking...atleast if you want to do it right. another idea lay one down then put a vest over top of it, I hope it works that well that I can hide them amongst high value gear and blow groups of folks to shit. sry I'm just hyped but then again I'm ready for the let down this is alpha after all. by the way hicks said the update was gonna boom.

This Boom he reffered to could be anything, like a bomb being dropped on us. Navmesh perhaps? 

 

Regardless of what it is, I don't think it will be a let down.  ;)

I hope for Satchel charges.

 

In b4 granades.

I hope explosives play a big role in the game.

 

The weapons are far too unreliable in accuracy and damage to dispose of people to my liking.

 

so being able to use grenades for setting traps, ambushes and general demolition is enticing.

Prepare for hidden satchels in military tents and barracks. As soon as you step in: BOOOOOOOOOM.

Are you guys serious about those ? Explosives in DayZ ?  

Maybe pipe bombs. First you need to find the darn pipe, then the nails (each and every one of them), the gun powder or c4 and so on. Let’s make them extremely difficult to craft, and unstable.

 

The average blokes dealing with home-made explosives usually end up blowing their nose or fingers off, on a lucky day that is !

Should be the same in-game.

Come on, nails could spawn in boxes same as matches.

Gunpowder is easy peasy, you could get it from ammunition that is plentiful. So maybe use pliers on ammo and bum, you got gunpowder.

 

Pipe, well they could easily introduce that into the loot spawn right?

 

Yes, pipe bombs would be cool, same as using those portable propane tanks for IED's.

We need this :D.

I am hoping they take a more crafty approach to explosives having crafting be an essential part of explosives.

 

This would mean crafting the very base of an explosive the explosive material being a requirement one good way is to remove gunpowder from shotgun shells and have the black powder be used as the base.

 

Then have containers that act much like magazines that can be filled with gunpowder with more gunpowder = more explosive power.

 

So you could custom tailor the explosives for your needs.

• Tin can or pipe with 10 percent explosive = enough to maim and break someones legs
• 20 percent = kill a player
• 30 kill player but bigger explosion
• 50 disable a vehicle
• 100 blow down a wall or have a huge deadly radius.

Hopefully when they add a interaction menu that does away with the scroll wheel we could be able to set down permanent explosives that are tied to the server and persist even if the server restarts or player dies.

 

 

Hopefully placing the explosives are atleast as in depth as it is in ace mod.

[RedGuard 40]

I know what you mean. I'm just afraid good "stuff" becomes to easy to come by and use !

There should be a high risk when crafting / carrying / setting-up home-made explosives, not just the receiving end getting messed up.

Since the beginning I've pictured ambushes on rival groups' vehicles on the Northern highway with hidden explosive charges, followed by a massive gunfight. Once the systems facilitating this sort of thing are in place, I would like to make the machinima I've daydreamed about.

But seriously,imo first we will see molotovs,grenades and crafted explosives.

I highly doubt we will have RPGs,mortars,mines and advanced explosives anytime soon.

What i want to see though,is to booby trap a container.That should take care of the bandits looting ma frigde. :P

[domxnik 2]

I would prefer they add some sort of transportation in the game, and possibly tents to allow some sort of base building.
