Use of junk!

[jackrc11 15]

I saw a thread about 30 seconds before making this one about a use for junk, where it could be used as a trail http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/44456-effective-use-of-junk/. I like that idea, but a while ago I thought of something better. Just because a container (such as an empty can or whiskey bottle) is empty, it doesn't mean it's still not a container. Why not put extra water in it? Of course, The cans/bottles may have holes or cracks in it, so if we account for that, it would still hold a bit of water, but not as much as canteens AKA water bottles, still giving them a use. Along with what I previously stated, I would suggest both less of an abundance of junk (Not as rare as the best guns in the game (I don't know what they are, I'm a bit of a noob)) (Such as, less frequently occurring or only 1 or 2 in a group) and the amount of water held being a LOT less than water/soda. I'd say about 10-15%. It wouldn't be a lot, but it would keep you from dying of thirst more easily. I know from personal experience how hard it can be to get a fresh start and find soda/water, especially with no way to defend yourself.

Thoughts?

Assemble cans into a noisy tripwire to attract zombies to the intruder ^^

Use a broken bottle as a temporary weapon!

Or throw the cans at a player to make that super high pitch noise like I always do.

I'd love to see something like this to happen, except I'd prefer it to be for players. I think it would be good, setting up camp and then going out and laying a perimeter of these around your camp.

Not too sure how this would work with Arma's engine though.

I'm new to these forums. What's the Alt Weapon Thread?

[ninjaholic 116]

You can already do it with barbed/razor wire. Totally possible.

Just suggesting the thread's now about alternate weaponry. Like beating zombies to death with your shoe.

This is a good idea. Also: my number 1 biggest request is please let doors make a sound when you open/close them.

Remember, this thread is about holding water in junk containers.

Sorry, I don't like that idea. Canteens and sodas are easy to find.

They already have use, you can kill zombie with 4-5 cans, and you can use it as a distraction too.

we don't need to refill them, water bottles are just fine.
