clay_pigeon 37 Posted July 24, 2012 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.http://www.proguidedirect.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/LMSPrincetonTecCoronaHeadlamp.jpghttp://ledstuff.co.nz/images/LED-HLCQ3210a.jpgThese 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! 31 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snowcrash 82 Posted July 24, 2012 i was thinking the same, but u fresh spawn with normal flash light and the headlamp can be found in stores... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Delta Smoke 01 765 Posted July 24, 2012 +1 nice idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leodimas 31 Posted July 24, 2012 Nice idea, maybe even let them drop rarely in houses and supermarkets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bribase 251 Posted July 24, 2012 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.Where would headlamps be found? Just like military flashlights, in Barracks, Hangers and Military tents.I think they should be semi-rare drops in industrial areas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gogster (DayZ) 626 Posted July 24, 2012 Nice idea - in fact it's bean worthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GexAlmighty 54 Posted July 24, 2012 +1, simple suggestion and something i know i would get a little excited about finding as a drop and in no way overpowered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Womb Raider 92 Posted July 24, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eldo (DayZ) 7 Posted July 24, 2012 Great idea, all for it, like Womb Raider said, it should be on the rarer side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarloNord 29 Posted July 24, 2012 I don't really mind where they'd drop at the moment actually, but yeah industrial areas can be great spots for them!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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ribano 46 Posted July 24, 2012 not only that it has an awesome downside of pinpointing exactly where a gunman should shoot, love this game its all risk v reward Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clay_pigeon 37 Posted July 24, 2012 not only that it has an awesome downside of pinpointing exactly where a gunman should shoot, love this game its all risk v rewardYep that is a downside but like you said, it's risk versus reward! And the reward can be big. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoTo2k 12 Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) Love the idea! In my opinion they shouldnt even be too rare since maybe then there would be a real night play happening Edited July 24, 2012 by GoTo2k 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miragenz 71 Posted July 24, 2012 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.
