Dead Survivors

[hekp 223]

I believe adding a few poorly geared dead survivor bodies around cherno would add allot to the athmosphere.

 

Just like helicrashes, n- bodies can be found troughout chernaus.

 

From small "caves" North from Svetlo where a lone survivor put down his rifle for the last time, to hunting post south from myshkino military base where our 2nd survivor just couldnt take it anymore. From kamensk mine, where i found a dead young couple next to rotten zuccinni (how romantic), to the ship wreck where... well, who the fk knows what happend there i aint walkin dem stairs again.

 

Bodies could be mediocre equipped with most of the stuff dammaged/ruined.Civilian gear. Something to make you wonder what happend. It's not about the loot, purely athmosphere. I wanna feel endangered. I wanna feel like im next. I wanna feel hopeless.I wanna wonder what happend to fellow survivor.

 

You could tell from some bodies they commited a suicide. Some even have a "bubbye cruel world" note on them. Some dont.

Some look like they were gangbanged by an army of Zeds.

Some were lonewolfs; you will only find them in god forsaken places when you least expect it, freakin the shit out of you (a nicely placed players body waiting for you in a corner of abandoned underground military base/ ship wreck/pik kozlova/random forest just when you decide to check it out).

 

It would be awesome if their personal items would reflect that (matches, knive, an axe) but not too much as i think it should be heavily randomized so people do not learn the patterns to fast.They obvioulsy should not be loot pinatas, and rather located a few minutes inland than near coast.

 

Let us be able to intercat with the body in a normal way. UnknownEntity. Let us decide whether it was a true player or not.Either way, we will all proceed with extra caution.

 

You would have to buff the "body time" tho.

To a degree I'd love to see more like this, but in a way that makes it believeable. For example, coming across a decaying body of a former survivor or a even a Skeleton body of a survivor slumped against a tree or simply found lying in the street. Everything of importance would have been long gone by now and everything else left to decay. It would offer a unique loot location that was random but simply looting it would pose a risk in scavenging simply damaged and badly damaged gear as well as the risk of contracting a disease.

Whether the body would be spawned decayed or would it actualy decay over time like they plan it for the persistance on veggies&fruits; I think it would look great either way.

To be honest I just have these thoughts of running idly through some forests and suddenly stumbling upon this skeletonised corpse of a former survivor (who's death is likely hypothermia or an illness) dressed up in badly damaged gear that no one had found till now.

 

Could even spawn a super rare item that was only common before the outbreak.
