20 words or less: Spawning without a weapon

[shirotenshi@gmail.com 1]

Do you understand what 20 words or less means?

Do you understand I already posted within the 20 words or less before? As if I'm the first one to go over 20 words.

Awareness ftw.

Seriously if you don't like to read it, skip it.

NO

I have no idea about russia, but in america statistically ~40%-45% of people own guns. It wouldn't be uncommon for someone to just HAVE a gun when this whole infection thing happened.

DayZ is a story, and your survivor has washed up on the shore. Gun, no. Empty water bottle, yes please!

[Sakeoe (DayZ) 115]

Thread was made june 13 and weapons have been taken away since then, why are we still posting about it?

[Fribox 34]

Probably got necro'd

I still think its valid that we should be arguing about this though.

Actually, there are guns in about 1/3rd of American households.

That said, there is 1 gun for every American. But this is because people with guns tend to own several of them.

wait, i say YES to spawning empty handed. if thats what youre getting at.

It makes the game more difficult, forcing people to make quick decisions.

[Deschain (DayZ) 2]

YES

I love the helpless feeling you get initially. More of that please !!! ;)

[colekern 1364]

Yes. Just wanted to point out: A lot of people have guns in their home. In America, that is.

[sostronk 334]

YES.

I don't need a weapon. I have a bandage and don't sneak around them and have no problem.

[Raptorattack 3]

Welcome to dayz. Nothing is easy here.

[Michaelvoodoo25 3120]

God another ancient post, born again, I remember the furor taking away the Makarov caused.

Turned out quite well didn't it?

[Sutinen 635]

Okay, why the FUCK was this bumped?

[Maca (DayZ) 769]

Okay, why the FUCK was this bumped?

I know its a bit late but hey, its hot again and I haven't given my opinion yet. Btw bad English alert!

YES

- Spawning with nothing at all would be best imo. Just for the attachment you develop to your character.

- Maybe add woodensticks too the loottable. First thing i would do is finding some sort of a weapon. Woodensticks will be my first option in forest areas. Finding some sort of a melee weapon would be very easy in real life. So in a way you will actually spawn with a weapon because woodenstick and stuff like that is all over the place.

Request:

Make guns feel special! I would’t mind to see rougly 50% of the playerbase only have large weapons like shotguns, assault rifles ect. And the other half just some small handguns and melee. Nowdays when i find a m1911 or a revolver it doesnt feel special at all because of the damage. Like i suggested make guns rare. The same counts for ammo. It would be cool if killing zombies with melee will be a normal thing (Because ammo is too scarce). Maybe trading will get more populair too (in ammo especialy). Maybe ammo will serve as currency? Another advantage rarity has is on gunfights. It would be awesome if gunsfight end up in melee because people shot all there ammunition. To give you a impression what i mean by rarity of ammunition. It would be average if a player surviving for 1 day only has a average amount of 23 rounds for his m16.

YES

Shitty makarov bullets won't stop spawn campers hiding on clifftops with their AS50's; rather a whole new threat will arise: other fresh spawns.

[BlackDynamite (DayZ) 1]

You should NOT spawn with a weapon.

This mod is built around being a difficult zombie survival mod and I believe that it should be even more difficult.

Military weapons should spawn much less. I loved being a scrub on the coast in early June with everyone running around the coast with enfields and winchesters.

YES

Everyone sprints round not caring if they die or not without, if i saw a bandit i'd want to humiliate him by killing him with a makrov.

[Sozinho 58]

YES

But maybe perhaps spawn in with a weak unique weapon that had no lootable ammo so you're not completely defenseless but not yet able to take on other survivors

For the love of everything sacred and living
