thefriendlydutchman 160 Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) Not sure if it exists but it would be amazing to have a special kind of sniper rifle (or rounds) designed to stun the player (make them unconscious or ragdoll when hit) that can be used to take players hostage/robbing them without the need to kill them which might lead to more player interactions Why this would fit in Chernarus: If I'm correct the virus either started or got in chernarus early so I wouldn't be surprised if the US or Russia/Chernarussians had/designed a sniper rifle to safely capture an infected so they could study them (since they are humans) Things that could be done with this sniper rifle for both players and infected: - Not having to kill players - Great overall practice on friends for sniping (lol) - Be able to take out zombies low risk or te be able to get past them but still keeping them alive so you could use them as your personal ''alarm'' (for example you shoot zombies around a building with the gun then go in the building and when the zombies stand up again you got an alarm for nearby players) -to take revenge on the fleeing guy that killed your friend - to troll your friends - perfect for the hero role ( and pretty good for the bandit role) - would give more meaning to the game then just KoS(now we have KoS (knock out on sight) instead of KoS (Kill on sight) xD) What should be done to not make the gun too OP: - Long reload time - allot of agility so it can't be used for close combat (the stun gun or taser ingame can be used for that) - animals that get shot by the gun should die or get slowed down by the gun but not go unconscious Edited August 20, 2015 by jorn818 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Just Caused 423 Posted August 20, 2015 Wouldn't suit DayZ. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ColdAtrophy 1850 Posted August 20, 2015 Maybe not a sniper rifle, but a taser? I could see it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thefriendlydutchman 160 Posted August 20, 2015 Wouldn't suit DayZ.Could you give me an constructive argument on that (not trying to be hostile or anything) Maybe not a sniper rifle, but a taser? I could see it.I would be happy with just a taser too although some kind of long range would be cool too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DURRHUNTER 597 Posted August 20, 2015 How about no.Sounds super unrealistic for DayZ and no 3rd world country would have those. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baker. 1484 Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) -Sharks with frikin laser beems strapped to their heads-Could we do this? Yes. Should we do this? No. This would be great in some other game for sure, just would detract from the realism they strive for, i think anyways Edited August 20, 2015 by B@ker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SaveMeJebus 164 Posted August 20, 2015 Maybe just a tranq gun would suffice? Would be a bit more plausible in the environment the game is set in. There has been numerous suggestions about less than lethal weapons though, hopefully this is a mechanic that can be fleshed out later down the line when they actually have proper zombies and server performance under control.

Chaingunfighter 917 Posted August 21, 2015 As Gews posted, there's an X26 Taser coming. As far as I'm aware there's no such thing as a "Taser Sniper Rifle." There are specialty weapons like the X12 Shotgun, which would be okay, but also redundant because we have one coming as is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
