Rubber Bullets

Recommended Posts

my idea is rubber bullets, that are not only quieter than regular bullets, but just knock you unconsious for a LONG time. This could nerf banditry, and maybe even make them manditory for pvp. Although this might nerf the game

I like this idea. Many times ive decided to shoot people becuase i cant incapacitate them.... I would prefer to incap them then talk to them and find out who they are.... That kind of stuff. Handcuffs would also be nice (from the officer zombies or w/e).... You could sneak up to people and knock them out and tie them down and get to work out who they are....

If you dont like them leave them on the ground and run until they eventually break out of the cuffs (or get eaten).... I guess.... I think that would be cool.

Nah, keep the lethal rounds... But like, you could find the occasional rubber round clip or something.

haha... no.

but maybe a special arrow with paralyzer applied to it? This could turn a player into a drooling lump of loot. You could take his gear and relocate before he could move.

Sure... this would be far far far down the list of "maybe-to-do"

Are you being serious?

Imagine a zombie apocalypse, why the hell would you use rubber bullets?

Not to mention getting knocked out for a "LONG time" would be annoying as fuck.

Silly Noob. Think shit through.

The idea would need some tweaking ofcourse... But i think the game needs a way to force a survivor down without killing them.

I would be using rubber bullets, why not.. I'm not a PK or bandit but I shoot people if I feel threatened.. not because I want the kill or their stuff but only to protect myself.. if I had the option I'd rather incapacitate (some of) them with rubber bullets than kill them

Exactly this.

Rubber bullets would actually be amazing. Incapacitate somebody and then drag them around because you can.

the whole point of having lethal weapons is to force you into a situation where you have to make that tough choice, ie i dont want to kill this person, but if i dont i will probably die.... its one of the many things that makes this game amazing.

if you dont want to kill someone, shoot them in the leg and move along.

I support this idea because, this what would a great tool for real bandits and also survivors. That aren't out to be murderers but instead get by.

Plus it would be better than knee capping someone and thus having to give them morphine after mugging them and getting what you want.

I like this idea, maybe implementing a new round for shotguns for a sandbag or something

I suggested it in my suggestion post: beanbag ammos

designed to knock out a player so you can either:

-run without killing him

-or loot his backpack & run.

I'm for adding those, but no to make them mandatory

This is a great idea. I don't even use my gun for zombies, it's mostly just there to stop bandits and to scare other players. But I'd like to have a gun in hand to spook people and keep them guessing.

Maybe the guns, instead of causing blood loss, would just have a high rate of causing pain and unconsciousness for maybe 30 seconds to a minute. That way if you pop around the corner and accidentally pop someone who looks scary, you don't get a murder tag.

On the other hand, zombies would completely ignore rubber bullets so you'd have to make a hard choice of whether you want to keep your murder count low or if you want a guaranteed chance of dropping zombies.

Another useful one would be a taser in the shape of a gun that would incap someone at up to 10 meters.

Yeha not mandatory, but an optional non-lethal weapon would be interesting. And yeah, tasers as bazbake said, or perhaps just a bit of a slap on the back of the head to knock an un-knowing player down...

I think that rubber bullets would go well with the ideas in this thread:

http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/55532-what-if-regions-zombie-spawn-was-linked-to-humanity/page__st__20#entry539169

Instead of killing other people, just a rubber bullet gun that knocks a guy out for a while, so you can get in and get out without the killing.

Given the amount of hits I need to take most things down, I thought my bullets ARE rubber.....
