RPG-7

Search gave no results for RPG-7, thats weird.

So, the idea is RPG-7 as a rare military loot, these things obviously would work with the eastern european theme, there could be 3 warheads, the most common of them being PG-7VL, a HEAT warhead, good against vehicles and personnel, then a OG-7V fragmentation warhead which is rarer as it is a straight upgrade with its higher explosive radius and the fact its still enough to mess up any legit vehicles in DayZ as you obviously wont need to engage a LAV in the mod. Then there could be TBG-7V thermobaric warhead which makes a huge explosion doing the most damage to buildings of these warheads, very rare.

The RPG-7 is reloadable obviously, and it would be excellent provider of fire support if you are playing with friends, i doubt it would be overpowered as it is a pretty specialised piece of equipment. Its griefing usage by destroying loot buildings would be minimal as the warheads lack serious power against buildings, even the thermobaric one. It would also be great against (bad) helicopter pilots, as a single shot is guaranteed to bring the thing down.

And those of you thinking that a random civilian in no way would know how to operate this weapon, watch this video

Now you should have an idea how to operate it, perhaps your character watched random youtube videos before zombies came and broke his computer?

It would be nice to have another launcher weapon in the game because as of now there is only one.

First of all, you don't need to make a big list of all the features, it's already in ArmA 2 with all those warheads. (Well, except for TBG-7V, but isn't that kind of useless?)

And to add, any civilian who has survived long enough to be one of the last humans alive could figure out how to use it on their own. Can't be that hard.

I think that it should be put it. It's piss easy to use. It's essentially a modern day Panzerfaust.

its not something that needs to be added, there already is the one launcher, which no one really uses because it replaces the backpack slot and its only really good against vehicles, and even then its easier to just shoot them with your rifle than it is to use a missile system, only real use in game is to destroy the supermarkets when you see a group of bandits enter it.

The m136 is not used because it is useless, then why not add a launcher that is useful? If someone is taking cover behind something an RPG will make short work of them, or for engagements of above ~300 meters firing a rocket increases your chances of killing them dramatically. And if in the standalone there is some sort of system so you can fortify your camp an RPG will help bust the fortifications.
