Paddleboats and more bicycles?

Recommended Posts

Transport by foot is pretty slow and no one likes running for ages, so why not put in vehicles which are a little bit faster than sprinting? Obviously they wouldn't need many resources to run, apart from some scrap metal or wood to repair any damage.

For example, what about bicycles which would require a scrap metal to repair and they have a high(ish) spawn rate so that they aren't spawning everywhere, but are about as available as a new bag or rifle.

Also, what about Paddleboats? You would need some wood to repair it when damaged. It would also give players an alternative to dropping all their items when wishing to go away from land. It goes without saying that I intend these to be quite a bit easier to come across than the boats currently available.

Do not missunderstand me, I am not saying make these things common to come across, just that after playing for a full day the player shall have around a 50/50 chance of coming across one of these.

My reasoning is that after playing for a total time of AT LEAST 80hrs me and my two friends have not come across a single vehicle.

Open to any suggestions or ideas, but please try to avoid the classic "This idea is stupid." posts. With reasons that would be fine but please include them.

Same thing will happen to all bicycles at one point on ANY server - they get hoarded. Spawn in Kamenka and walk north from that point on and you'll encounter a camp/vehicle at least once. If you don't, walk east from the end of the map and chances are really high that you find some wheels! Warning! This may take up an hour or two..

Bikes are in the game

Bikes are already in. Making them as common as you say will just nullify running entirely. Paddle Boats or Row Boats i don't mind the idea of, though once again, they should not be as common as you suggest. If you have played for 80 hours and not encountered a single vehicle you obviously aren't looking in the right places. Heck i see flipped ATV's, buses, and sedans like 1 in 10 times i fresh spawn and head into elektro or cherno. Theres hotspot spawns all over the coast, and plenty inland as well. If you have played on the same server for all that time and not found vehicles, i suggest that they may have been hoarded, and you should go hunting for the camp!

More common vehicles will make them less valuable, and a lot more gimmicky and create a lot more "lets go run people over in Cherno" moments. However extra modes of water travel would be nice... surfboards anyone?

Tip: Go research Vehicle Maps online, theres plenty that have laid out the possible spawns for lots of different vehicles. Maybe do some raids with your friends and search these areas on multiple servers. I guarantee if you search hard enough in the right places, and try around on the servers, you will run into a vehicle in < 5 hours game time. Me and my gang do this everytime we get wiped or lose our vehicles.

To add to this, I think It'd be cool to perhaps make it so Bicycles despawn back to their original position after being left unattended for say an hour or so, clans may disagree, but bicycles have no purpose besides to transport seeing they don't carry any gear, perhaps would be better to just have them spawn randomly. That or perhaps don't spawn bicycles into the game, and instead make them a vehicle you can actually create, you just need to find say 2 tires and 3-4 scrap metal and it will combine into a bike.. though idk if that is possible to be done in game and could cause a ton of glitches, I honestly think and wish there was a way to counter the hoarding of at least /some/ vehicles from clans, even a little bicycle.
