My and your ideas for unusual vehicles

[Gordon Axeman 191]

I want some new vehicles to be implemented. They will make DayZ more broad and funny, and will give players some new opportunities.

Bulldozer

Original topic here

Imagine, at a factory like in Orlovets, there must be some heavy machines that are required for the building process. Some could be evacuated before, but a bulldozer was left there, because there were objects, more valuable than a heavy, useless mechanism.

In the zombie apocalypse situation it appears in a new light. A powerful vehicle, that can clean out a road, go through the forest, smash down a zombie horde, etc. It gets... not vital, but important status.

Of course, it should be harder to fix than a usual vehicle, you'll have to find tracks, hydraulics for the dipper, lots of fuel etc. But it should not be too hard, maybe slightly easier than a chopper.

Stats:

Capability: 2 seats

Inventory: 30/6/3

Speed: Asphalt - 55 km/h, dirt road - 35 km/h, offroad - 20 km/h

Features: knocks down trees (but takes some damage), can break stuff with the dipper (has its own hp, fixed with hydraulics parts and scrap metal, also uses the dipper to remove shit like broken cars from the road. Has a lattice at the windows (optional). Has a tough body, can break houses (but takes high damage).

Firetruck

We have firestations in two cities and in the NWAF. Not too much, but... I don't think that firetrucks were evacuated, along with the bulldozer. It's a heavy machine, useless out of normal life.

But survivors are witty guys and can make use to any resourse left after the Apocalypse. A large car with tough, nearly armored body where passengers can sit like in a bunker, and a water cannon to flush the zombies out of the way. You'll need some special parts to repair the water cannon, lots of gas and maybe not one, but several scrap metal. So this serves as a really safe transporter of goods and people.

Stats:

Capability: 10 seats

Speed: Asphalt - 40 km/h, dirt road - 25 km/h, off-road - 15 km/h

Inventory: 200/40/20

Features: tough body, very good against bullets, worse against crashes, water cannon that can throw away and kick down zombies and players, but little speed. Big front windows as a vulnerable spot.

Jetski (thanks to svefngenglar)

Some recon teams definitely tried to get into Chernarus. We know that, because all we use m4, m16, m24, m9, m107 american weapons. These are crashed helis - missions of other countries too. So, why couldn't some small missions come on jetskis from big ships? They thought this is quiet and fast, and they were right. The mission managed to get onto the ground of the infected. So now the scouts are either dead or undead, and their transport is waiting for someone else...

This is a kind of bike, only a water one. An ideal personal or couple transport. Quick, small, economical.

Stats:

Capacity: 2 seats

Speed: 60 km/h

Inventory: 40/6/2

Features : no special features.

I want a big wheel or one of those hippity hops.

Battle ostrich OR flamingo.

I'd like to see jetski. Just because it's the apocalypse doesn't mean we can't drink champagne and ride jetskis in style. Maybe a yacht too so I can play I'm on a mother fucking boat! while sailing past the cities. Skateboards, I've always wanted to backflip off the firestation or 900. Vespas! Ummm.... mountain biking!.... Drift supras! Wind surfing!

I got a good laugh out of this, here.. have my beans!

Oh man, a firetruck.

People would buy the game just for that, I know I would. Don't forget to fit it with a really loud siren.

There are so many bummed out humvees that a few working ones would certainly make me a happy camper. I am not sure how having a M2 would work, but I would be happy with just an unarmed humvee.

IMO, they should just return land rover into the game.

A monster truck would be awesome.

I don't see the point. Honestly.

a plane like an AN-2. with all the farms and chenarus's 3,300,000 person population at least 5 of them would use one of those as a crop duster.

I'll think, maybe i'll write it into the first post.

An-2 Colt is very popular.
