Anarchist's Cookbook

[Schwa (DayZ) 0]

Similar to my survival guide idea, I would like to see another toolbelt survival item added called the Anarchist's cookbook. The cookbook would allow the creation of a variety of homemade weapons at a campfire using common materials. Some of these ideas may have been suggested before so I'm sorry if I missed them.

-improvised grenade - turn a smoke grenade into an explosive grenade by combining it with a tin can and nails or rocks or some other common small projectile.

-Dinner Bell - combine a smoke grenade with a tin can and a flare (the flare is broken down into the burning compound before being placed in the can) to create a loud, bright flash that attracts zombies from much further away than a standard smoke grenade. as an added bonus but maybe overkill, it could act as a makeshift flashbang that temporarily blinds and deafens players.

-Welcoming Gift - a full jerry can, a couple makarov clips, a flare, and some wire make the perfect placeable trap for welcoming back the recently deceased.

-Noise Maker - a bunch of tin cans and some wire make a nice simple noise trap for the unwary.

-Farewell Gift - a HE grenade and a bit of wire in the backpack would be a fond farewell to that bandit that just shot you in the back. On this one, I play an audio cue as soon as the body is looted and give the bandit 3-5 seconds to run away. personally I would like this to wipe the dead player's inventory if not remove the body entirely but that is optional. Also, a variant could be made using the Dinner Bell.

There are many other things that could be added to the list but these are all I'm putting forth for now. The potential for mass abuse could make this a bad idea (one person could make an entire city inaccessible in about an hour) but it sounds like a lot of fun to me. If implemented should be very rare.
