Improvised weapons/traps

Recommended Posts

I would like for some improvised weapons/items to be included in the mod, this would allow for more emergent game play and also more creative ways for us to kill each other.

Noise Maker- A smoke alarm (new) either by itself or combined with some other gear, I'm open to suggestions. This would create a throwable or placeable noise maker that would create a sound audible to both players and zombies out to at least 100m. Run time of several minutes. Possibly impoved when combined with others and a back pack to amplify effect?

Bomb- Combine a back pack, more than one jerry can and a flare. This would allow players to create a placeable bomb but the resource cost and the fact that it would sacrifice a pack would provide a check on its utility. The bomb should be able to be ignited from directed gun fire or via a timer when placed.

Taser/Stun Gun- (This is probably somewhere else on the forum) Either variety, hit applies knock out for x seconds, I think this would allow for many interesting interactions.

Electric Trap- Stun gun combined with back pack to create a trap that would kill/knockout whoever tried to loot/pick up pack. Placeable in a vehicle to apply the effect to whomever touched the vehicle. Combinable with wire fence kits to create electric fence. (In game skill/visable indication to show it is on vehicle/fence and disarmable/lootable)

Door trap- Combine a grenade and whisky bottle to create a placeable that will drop a grenade when the door is opened. (Disarmable/lootable as above)

Poison- Combinable with water sources and consumables. (Same detection as above maybe visable only if inspected/based on in game skill. Or make non lethal with no detection)

Remote controled car- 1 or 2 inventory slots I doubt this could make the mod but in stand alone it would be sweet.

Thought I had more, but I'm tired, please add any other ideas for these types of weapons/traps/items.

I did search, mainly for noise maker and didn't see anything. Some of the other were posted but most by themselves.

They are items that could serve many purposes and one purpose would be trolling, do you think its not authentic that someone would set up booby traps or use the environment (infected) as a weapon against another person? The only item that I would consider specifically troll would be poison, I think it would add to the game play though both in how it could be utilized and the hightened tension it would create. I didn't say it had to be lethal it could just make someone sick, knocked out, reduce their blood to a certain amount.
