Gas traps

[jdizzy 15]

The trap would consist of a battery-powered humidifier with a poisonous concoction stored in the tank. The gas would cover a certain area and will even choke the maker if they aren't careful. Another gas trap sub-type could be a punctured tank of choking or laughing gas. Choking would be lethal of course and laughing will make the affected individuals double over with chortles every few seconds, stunning them.

Humidifiers don't really make a 'gas', they just throw really small water droplets into the air.  That and it would need to be in an enclosed room to have any effect and unless they walked directly over the humidifier into the 'fog' of poison they would probably loot what they can and get out with no adverse or long lasting effects.  While humidifiers are pretty quite they do make noise and have a visible 'fog' over them.  Combine that with the lack of 'back ground' noise that would normally drown out a humidifier (such as an running AC, computer or various other noises and whines we don't notice till the power goes out) and it'd be pretty obvious that someone's setting a trap.

I think gas would be an unreliable way to kill someone the way DayZ is (realistically anyway), at least a gas 'trap' like this unless it's a gas grenade or a canister of nerve case that's set to release with a trip wire or some such.  Even then it would have to be under certain conditions such as an enclosed building or narrow hallway.

Now that vehicles are in the game, I thought "gas trap" was something that I do with my friends sometimes in my own car.

On that note...do not trust Big Mike's Taxi service when he rolls up the windows suddenly.  You'll wake up in a field missing your beans.
