Handcuffs?

[KetchupOnTheDog 41]

I was playing dayz and i was wondering..would it be possible if they could put something like handcuffs in the game so you can capture other survivors. The handcuffs could act as a way of limiting use of anything that would require using your hands, like shooting for example.

Or just point a gun at them and yell "WALK!" as you prod them.

they could also maybe add lockpicks...so other survivors could maybe save you from your captor, or you can pick the handcuffs while your captor isn't looking.

In theory, this is cool. But it disables the game for the captor. totally. Even if they jumped to another server, they'd then be in handcuffs and without the person with the key. Then running around trying to find someone with a lockpick who isn't going to steal your stuff would be even more daunting then just respawning with no equipment.

Don't think she'd float, this old girl.

I agree with Apollo. This will just cause mass griefing among players.

Lockpicks would be cool, though! There could be locked buildings, and you'd need to either pry open, lockpick it, or blow it open (or possibly up). Hm, actually, lockpicking can be quite tricky.

Good, but how are you going to get close enough to use them?

ok i understand what you guys are saying but say how about in order to handcuff someone they can't have a primary weapon equipped. So you would have to completely surrender. Its a better option than being killed. Plus you still have a chance to get away. You can still run so you would just have to find a barn with lockpicks..its a better alternative to death. And if you don't want to try to free yourself you can just kill yourself. Then it would just be like if they had killed you
