Original_Name62 21 Posted August 23 Recently I posted in the discord about this so I’m gonna make a post. TLDR: Add a low tier civilian news channel heli/plane crash that spawns the press vest and electronics with batteries and compact guns It makes sense that during a zombie outbreak, the most dedicated of news channels would send helicopters to report. These helicopters would likely have be given guns and handheld electronics to deal with any zombies. I think that in the lower tiers, there should be chances for survivors to find crashed helicopters for local and foreign news. Heli loot: Some loot that would make sense to be on a news heli and would help players if they found 1) Mid game weapons, like the mp5 or the bizon and shotguns. 2) the press vest and warm civilian clothing 3) Handheld electronics and batteries, maybe a new electronic like a camera 4) A radio that is part of the heli/plane should spawn, which is able to be heard on radio anywhere in the map (like a stationary field transmitter) Lore: i guess Bohemia could drop some lore using the civilian news helis, like making the western heli one from a country that is still uninfected. For the brand names you could do something like BNN: British National Network, (not copywrited by cnn) and The South Zagorian Today 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There would be no point to broadcasting since there is no one to listen. An intresting idea nontheless, but it would remove the uniqueness of heli crashes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An intresting idea nontheless, but it would remove the uniqueness of heli crashes It’s canon that some countries are still around and fighting the infection bc military helicopters are still smoking when they fall, meaning they crashed within a few days. Also, the game is set within a year of the infection because gasoline is still good, and the POX has mortars still have ammo to fire Ig if you want to be realistic you could say news helis are on scouting jobs for the military who are running out of supplies or you could change them to Red Cross helicopters with medical supplies 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
