Meat Hooks

[Risen (DayZ) 9]

I'll just jump right into this one.

Meat hooks:

It could be an inventory item that allows you to move dead players, zombies, and animals around as you like.

They could spawn in residential/farm buildings.

You would also be able to hang the corpses on trees, walls, and ceilings. To do this you would have to remove the hook from your inventory.

A hung corpse would make zombies spawn around the area as if a player were present. This would decrease the reliability of using zombies to detect players.

The corpse would rot/be eaten off the hook after a certain amount of time. Fresh players would last longer than animals. Zombies would hang for the least amount of time. This would also fix the issue of players using dead bodies as pack mules.

I think the meat hook, or at least the idea of utilizing corpses, could add much to this game. Pile a couple dead zombies for quick cover. Use a dead body as a sort of decoy/scarecrow while sniping. Hang a bunch of dead bodies in electro/cherno in order to fuck with snipers. Hang a buch of dead players in a barn for your twisted amuzement. The possibilities are endess!

I'd be scared shitless, walking through a forest at dawn/dusk and seeing a dead body hung up on a tree suddenly. :beans:

Brilliant idea. I like the sound of it!

This has probably been posted before but I like the ideas of adding a machette.

You left out sick and twisted. I love it.

Would make the game a lot less immersive IMO. They'd be everywhere like barbed wire and sandbags and it would be a little ridiculous.

Would go well with the new Leatherface skin.

Really? If anything I think this would add more immersion to the game. Granted they should not be added right now what with item duping still being a thing. This was more of an idea that would work for the standalone or if the hackig problem is ever fixed. The rarity of hook spawns and the time bodies are left up can be adjusted to prevent them being everywhere.
