Grenade as a life preservation device - must read

[frosti 2165]

It could work and be a cool feature if not the flaw of the game that is item duplicating..

 

If 1 out of 20 guys or something would had a grenade like this then fine but this has so much trolling potential that everyone will duplicate grenades to troll people.

 

When tents get in game, people will get their duplicated  grenades from tents to troll as a freshspawns. Berezino will be full of suicide bombers blowing up all day long.

I'd love to see the look on the 'ardboiz faces as their petty little group of 4-5 lads armed to the teeth loots NWAF to be interrupted by a piercing shriek of 'allahu ackbar' followed by an explosion of grenade like proportions, roughly 2-4 meters from where they're standing

Yes that's the another problem. Running in as a "freshspawn" allah ackbar  style into a players is very easy.

 

While throwing the grenade is somehow difficult and takes time then running in and bombing is just lame and overpowered.

 

Now I imagine myself standing at NWAF with m4 and Rocket Aviator sunglasses shooting suicide bambies running at me while saying "fuggen terrists :D:D:D:D "

1. Grenades have a 5 second fuse, that's a LOT of time to get in cover once the grenade "holder" got a bullet in his brain-bucket.

That being said grenades where successfully used during the Vietnam war as a way to booby trap containers with lids and dead bodies, but the key element here is "surprise" really.

While the idea of a dead man switch is appealing, do you really want to give more reasons to camp on hills without looting bodies?

This is dayz, a lad sprinting with the pin out of a grenade means death for all parties involved.

Seems to be another reason to kill him before he gets any closer.

[Rigor Mortis (DayZ) 141]

This is supposed to be a game where people can choose to play however they want, right?  So regardless of how the addition of this option affects gameplay, it should be in there to allow people the option to do it.  It's not unrealistic or crazy to think that you can yank a pin on a grenade and run around with it ready to go off in your hand.

 

Perhaps they could make a couple of ways to throw a grenade.  One way would hold on to the handle until you feel like throwing it, and that would always have a 5 second timer regardless of how long you waited to throw.  Another way would be to drop the handle and 'cook' the grenade.  After 5 seconds it would blow up in your hand if you didn't throw it.  An easy way to do this would be to have to hold a specific key when you try to cook off the grenade (since that's the more dangerous one it should be a little more complicated).

xD grenades are pretty rare though and there aren't many military spawns near the survivor spawns so I'll still try to be nice to freshies

with arma and dayz mod etc holding the throw key determined how hard/far you threw it, Red orchestra 2 has a system whereby you have a throw/hold for power key and a key to let the spoon go, starting the fuse on its way before you threw it [cooking the grenade]

[Neshimi 3]

How about if you are holding a grenade in hands when killed, the grenade detonates a couple seconds later? Saves on the extra "replace pin" code but serves the same purpose.

Lets make this a reality

[Airfield 50]

This would add a dimension to the ability for solo survivors to some how manage taking on groups of 3+. Good idea!

[blackberrygoo 1416]

We need this option plain and simple lol .. But seriously why not add it in after 64 bit / new renderer is fully implemented ? I'm sure the severs could handle all the processes ..

[irishroy 1347]

on the one hand I want this to be protected from bandits,

 

but on the other hand I see the problem, because it makes KoS more rewardable and DANGERERS the true bandit's work.

 

 

A true bandit waits and carefully traps the player.

But all the work would be useless, if the trapped player could easily outmaneuver the bandit.

[King Raptor 191]

New spawn finds a grenade, has nothing to loose and runs into a bunch of friendly people he just asked for help. Lulz ensues.

 

At least being forced to throw it warns people ahead of time and requires some skill to get it right.

[BeefBacon 1185]

 

Bandit leader: Boys, say what we take Mr. newspawn here into the woods and have some fun with him. Jones go cuff him up.

 

 

You had me at a bandit called Jones. Fuckin' Jones.

[dannsair2 (DayZ) 16]

I like it the idea.

[harley001 315]

Once upon a happy day in Berezino, a group of bandits in payday masks decide to hold up an innocent survivor searching for food...............

 

 

Bandit group: DROP YOUR FUCKING WEAPON! HANDS UP!

 

 

Bandits holding up people and not shooting them on sight!?  WHERE I CAN FIND THESE FINE GENTLEMEN!?

 

 

 

 

I doubt it would.  The grenade wouldn't detonate instantly.  Odds are they would shoot you in just run off.  I highly doubt you get close enough to pull your suicide bombing off unless they were idiots...  

 

Okay now that I think if you would probably pull it off considering the bad aim of most players.  

[Pokerguy12 218]

Bump. Please let this be a reality in the new updates
