Food for Thought - Clan/Bandit Base Abuse

Recommended Posts

I just had a random thought and I wanted to bring it up for conversation.

What are your feelings on clans/bandits stashing their fallen comrades items in their "base" or camp?

A normal situation: A clan/bandit group has a camp or base plotted out in the wilderness with someone watching over it. Clan member A goes out to scout for loot, and is decked out with military gear and a ghillie, backed by Clan member B.

Clan member A gets mauled/killed by a survivor and by some grace, Clan member B is still alive and manages to kill the attacker/survive the attack.

Clan member A is forced to spawn, while Clan member B takes all of his clanmates gear and hightails it back to camp.

Clan member A makes it back to said camp, full health and gears up again then sets out again without hesitation.

Is this setting up a "fair" gaming mechanic for the people who are going it alone or even in smaller groups who have not been able to gear up as well?

It's imbalancing the gameplay in my opinion. The clans and groups that have all of the high powered equips will always have that gear.

Case in point, there is a server I frequent and the owner of the server consistently zips around in a Huey. There are no other helis on the server, and he's part of a clan that has a lockdown on a major city.

I'm not griping, I haven't been killed or had my gameplay detrimentally changed because of this, I'm just curious what everyone thinks about those points.

Its one of the few mechanics that supports teamwork. There are many benefits to playing alone and only a few, such as blood bags, that support playing with others. That's why special OPs teams are in fact TEAMS. Multiple people coordinating their efforts are always going to be more successful.
