Headlamps

[clay_pigeon 37]

I would really like to see Headlamps added to DayZ.

I personally think playing in the nighttime is way funner than playing in the daylight, as it adds to the thrill.

These are headlamps. ^

Why are headlamps better than regular flashlights? Because they simply don't move around like crazy while you're running, allowing you to see your enviroment easily, even during the night.

Where would headlamps be found? Just like military flaslights, in Barracks, Hangers and Military tents.

Hoping to see it in game!

i was thinking the same, but u fresh spawn with normal flash light and the headlamp can be found in stores...

+1 nice idea

[leodimas 31]

Nice idea, maybe even let them drop rarely in houses and supermarkets.

[clay_pigeon 37]

Really nice to see you guys support the idea :)

Excellent idea.

Not only would they leave your hands free to wield a weapon, tying the direction you shine your torch to the direction you are looking as opposed to facing just makes more sense.

I think they should be semi-rare drops in industrial areas.

I don't really mind where they'd drop at the moment actually, but yeah industrial areas can be great spots for them!

Nice idea - in fact it's bean worthy.

[GexAlmighty 54]

+1, simple suggestion and something i know i would get a little excited about finding as a drop and in no way overpowered.

Yeah, I'm all for this idea, but the spawns would have to be fairly rare. I don't want to run across a barn full of headlamps.

[Eldo (DayZ) 7]

Great idea, all for it, like Womb Raider said, it should be on the rarer side.

You have my beans!

They could really be anywhere, hell, I own my own headlight! The damn things are cheap as dirt. They should be rare however, like, more so than the military flashlight, or even exactly as rare.

[Rogan (DayZ) 24]

Solid idea.

[clay_pigeon 37]

Thanks for the support guys :)

not only that it has an awesome downside of pinpointing exactly where a gunman should shoot, love this game its all risk v reward

Yep that is a downside but like you said, it's risk versus reward! And the reward can be big.

[GoTo2k 12]

Love the idea! In my opinion they shouldnt even be too rare since maybe then there would be a real night play happening

good idea

+1 beans from me

[Miragenz 71]

Have heard about this before, it seems like an obvious solution, its kinda retarded that you cant wield a weapon with a flashlight, usually players avoid the really dark nights, but even if you do chose to play at night you're going to need a flashlight ( Or nvg ofc) , this leaves you vulnerable and chances of you luring zombies at night is probably alot higher since you probably wont see them coming.

In my opinion this needs a solution, so i'm all for headlamps.

[arkenz 11]

+10 cans of beans for you :D

[clay_pigeon 37]

Glad to see so much positive comments :)

[Food 309]

Cool head beacons.

[Sharp (DayZ) 2]

+1 but make em hard to find like the military flashlight
