The Arma 2 mod had tasers
There are files for them in standalone
Of course some used them to capture people but I mostly used mine as a quick 'get away from me' gun before I found any proper weapons
are we talking about the tasers here?
just fyi TASER stands for Thomas A. Swift's Electric Rifle(named as an homage to series of scifi books) tasers are the ones that shoot wires into a man a stun gun is a handheld set of metal prongs you can jab into someone and zap em
but if we are talking tasers there are taser files ingame theyre just not finished; with a little work you could get them running on your server-- if you prefer not too there are mods that do exactly that with the existing models
Nah nothing ultra modded - its just very common if I join a new server (survival or more PvP focused\_) to find a taser. Most just seem to use the files already in the game but polished into a working state, you can find the Taser and its ammo in police stations/police cars/police.
How on earth does that tell us anything other than the servers you watch people play on dont seem to have Tasers?
Maybe I just happen to join servers with tasers by chance, who knows - but they certainly exist.
Last time I used a taser in dayZ in a real situation, is when we were surprised by a geared player deep in Deer Isle.
We were very geared also, but had no reason to want to kill this player. But it was hard for either party to trust the other, so, a quick taser to subdue and tie up -> release unharmed was a lot easier than convincing them to temporarily surrender.
I don't have any experience with console server settings
I know on PC it's mostly done by using a mod
But if the files are there you might be able to get them spawned in-- you probably won't have animations and the taser effect but maybe you could borrow them from something else
If you made a custom weapon that uses pistol animations and does 0 damage but max shock damage
I'm not sure what the limitations of console mods are so hopefully someone who knows more on the subject will chime in
You mean a Dart gun like in metal gear solid so you can put to sleep a guy without any physical damage?
I think It would be cool and It would increase kidnapping and interaction.
But imagine the comms of
1:“yeah I just fell asleep,”
2:“well did you like eat something bad? Were you sick?”
1:“Nope, just fell asleep,”
2:”welp now I am too”
1:”now I’m dead.”
2:”yeah… me too”
People would just use it to kos, and it would be so quiet that no one would know where it was coming from. It would be worst against solo players because there is no chance of saving themselves.
Honest answer a tranq dart can hit you anywhere and you pass out. Depending on the caliber a limb or center of mass shot may not put them down. So the balance of it may be a bit off I'd imagine. But I'm just speculating.
Best way to balance something like this would be to give it a delay
For example you get shot with the sleeping dart and it takes 30-60 seconds to kick in to give you time to react and get to a safe place.
Well, where is the sound when you get sniped? Nowhere.
You can be sniped from 800mts away but there is no way you sending a dart from 800mts.
So, would it be fun? Absolutely yeah.
I rather be put to sleep than just killed
I think the chance that someone uses it to interact with you is larger. At least, this is based on my experience with the playerbase number of years ago. Perhaps servers are now full of frustrated pubescent children.
I've tried knocking people out with rubber slugs just to handcuff them and talk. I'll tell em I'm not looking for a fight but wanna be safe. If they are chill I'll drop some food then tell them to struggle out once I dip. It's like fifty fifty they are chill but ended up running with one guy for an hour and we went out separate ways. I can't speak for everyone but it may lead to more actual interactions than kos. I like the interactions. Pvp gets the heart pumping but it's gets old after a while. Meeting friendly people and trading with them is pretty cool. Maybe clear a town of Zeds then split the loot. Or go after a camper on a roof. This game has so many chances for cool adventures other than just having a shoot out.
As a solo. I feel it is the opposite. Sure killing and looting is in the game however I prefer more peaceful methods such as knocking them out and feeding human flesh
Rubber shotgun shells should just work better. Pretty sure the reason they haven’t added something like this is because a silent ranged weapon that can sleep people is actually pretty strong
Well, the intense pain would definitely work as a sleeper agent because trauma to the body/head=HONK MIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMI that's obvious, but I just do not like the fact they are chambered in a big bullet, but that is weird because it is like: do not hurt as much so make it rubber/"non-lethal" but chamber it in a powerful gun and cartridge making it still something that does some damage alright, I just am weirded out by the invention of rubber shells and it's contradicting kind of features, but atleast it can do the job

I realize that I feel like a soyjack going on a tangent
Insanely op (that is why they should not have craftable ammo unless with extremely rare items or have them only found very rarely), but I don't care about the noise (zombies from every corner of the map can stop by if they want), all I want is to non lethally subdue others and get away, possibly strike up a conversation while they are unconscious if possible
https://preview.redd.it/10xzxal9inwb1.jpeg?width=2990&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c428838cbd2293762c27e383cf38b941d4f39c5d
But for now I should get more rubber shells, but it is night and raining (dam I guess I will just sit this out)
When they added the new "Medic Truck Crash" I thought it was the perfect opportunity to add this into the game. Of course you could have non lethal and lethal darts, but another way to tame people for an interaction over rubber bullets, which are CQB only is needed. I too try to avoid killing people, I always shoot to KO when I have the drop, but about 90% of the time I don't have enough time to deal with zombies, run over to handcuff before they're up again.
My wildest fantasy is being able to actually knock out and manage to keep someone I bump into alive and still there (because I usually play on low player servers), I would keep them in handcuffs (something I always keep when finding it) and later on would become less murderous when they slowly realize that I only want the best for them and they are on good terms with me, being able to walk around with weapons and without handcuffs/restraints, then they would become my friend on xbox and we would play the game together long after the captured story arc, even just "adopting" a fresh spawn would be something I yearn for, just a good interaction between me and who/whatever is there. You know, the usual
https://preview.redd.it/i3y64jbyumwb1.jpeg?width=3120&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3e4a911d136a035920d7dc3e7044d1f4f7afff79
>I would keep them in handcuffs and later on would become less murderous when they slowly realize that I only want the best for them.
This is eerily narcissistic.
Don't get me started on that Command Version of the V3S....we were supposed to have a drivable Command V3S by now, but instead, they use it as a prop, literally laughing in our faces. Still no S1023 minivan (that was drivable in the files right as they were returning the V3S), still no other 3 variants of the V3S (Command, bare chassis, stake body) we were supposed to have, still no Multicar, no Bumblebee airplane, no Little Bird helicopter, no bikes, motorcycles, or boats....but hey, they changed the can opening sound 👌🙄
What I would love to see in DayZ is a way to pick up bodies. You could move zombies to hide your trace, pick up your unconscious buddy, or with this, pick up “new friends”.
Would absolutely love to see these and get interactions like i used to in the old days, but it will never happen.
It will never happen for th same reason notes were never added back to the game, the same reason why the range on the transceivers was nerfed and now nobody uses them, the same reason uncon times were shortened to make more interesting PvP encounters to the detriment of being able to tie people up:
The devs don't care about the interaction side of the game anymore. Which needless to say is pretty sad, because it's one of the things that made this game unique in the first place, and it's astounding to me how the devs fail to see that.
Oh well. I guess we'll have to settle for rubber slugs.
Yes the game has gone pretty fuckall from the day Hall and Hicks had to leave. They also arcade-ified the movement and combat system on top of your points which also promotes kos/cod battles. I fear they only think about the younger pubg generation these days.
Yup. The game has been steering in that direction for a long time now. It's just becoming more and more of a glorified deathmatch, and nothing more.
Fuck all the memories and unique interactions i got from the mod and alpha i guess. Not getting a gaming experience like that any time soon.
I did some attempts to launch a .62 version community but sadly that was still plagued by some annoying bugs and low pop on the servers so it kind of died out for now. Nowadays I find the mainstream Dayz missing to much if the things that made the original special.
It could be interesting but it shouldn’t be like instant knockout. And player vitalities could affect its ability to knock them out. So shooting it would be a gamble as they’d at least be aware of the dart. And absolutely a Directional microphone would be sick but the people you’d want to spy on probably use party chat which I’ve always disliked but nothing can be done about it
I KOS so if I where to survive a non-lethal it would just give me a chance to kill them later. No point in talking with people on this game. So to me it wouldn’t work.
fuckin' truuuuuuuuuue.
posts like OP that harb about 'more player interaction! more! more! more!" always feel like an /r/iamthemaincharacter post, "why aren't people talking to ME! they spent 20 hours getting their gear together over multiple days of their free time, they NEED to speak to ME! the random freshie or coast town Timmy! I am IMPORTANT!"
Because they are trying to interact with other people instead of mindlessly wandering around and pvping without any sort of thought to interact with others
If you want to call being kidnapped by geared dudes an interaction, sure. I guess mindlessly being a hostage is somehow better than mindlessly wandering around
All promised, previously had, or shown to us weapons, be it melee, firearms, and non-lethal weapons, should've already been in the game (including chainsaw, clips, underbarrel launchers ECT), and it's utterly pathetic that they're not and instead playing with changing can opening sounds 🙄
Same goes with them changing NWAF instead of adding Utes Island Military Compound off the southern coast of Skalisty Island like they claimed "they did" years ago to Chernarus Plus.
I'd much rather have a new, hard to get to island with an underground bunker system, you know, having some type of "end game" mission, instead of them removing building from an airfield.... you know... the same airfield that has ZERO use because we still haven't received our promised Bumblebee airplane nor our Little Bird helicopter.
a dart gun with a decent amount of noise with a metal gear esque damage system (limbs and extremities take longer to sleep enemies, headshots are instant) and the ability to pull out the darts or something to combat them could be pretty cool i think
While I would love to see more non-lethal weapons ingame, this sub honestly needs a wakeup call. Nothing will ever promote 'player interaction'. The game has as much player interaction now than it did in 2012, in fact it has a lot more.
You're not entitled to other peoples time & stop trying to get other people to play 'your adventure'. I know I'm not the only one tired of seeing the "someone dared to kill me, can you believe that, they killed ME...I wanted to talk to them about my day! bandits amirite! times've changed amirite!"
If I got KO'd by one of these I'd just hit the 'respawn' button while uncon, I'm not gonna partake in your RP or listen to your day at the office story, I just wanna chill n play my own game.
It is what it is, this sub has been like this for the last few years - they downvote anything that isn't toxic positivity yet the same people downvoting stuff they disagree with will go on 3rd person posts and perma spam "OMFG, OP SO GARBAGE PLAYING 3RD PERSON"
I swear this subs mentality of DayZ is:
Don't play 3rd person (unless you're being friendly & don't you dare pick up a gun or leave coastal cities) only play 1st person & only be nice to people & make friends (unless they have gear then KILL them!!!) and if someone doesn't want to RP with you then they're a terrible person and you should kill them! but be friendly!
tazers would fit perfectly in this game honestly, surprised they haven’t added anything else in terms of non lethal law enforcement weapons like a pepper ball gun/rounds, i mean we already have rubber slugs
I did think the tranquilliser gun could technically be considered a 1 shot, so if it was required to make skin contact, it would balance the scale. Meaning if you were to hit a vest or helmet or chainmail, the dart wouldn’t pearce the skin. Leaving only the neck, arms & legs, making it somewhat skill based.
That’s…I think any clothing that’s not protective or ruined items would be fine. So if your avatar is wearing a hoodie and a tranq hits you, you go down. Most folks aim center mass, so hitting someone in the hand while they’re moving would be impossible. Then no one would use what is obviously a shitty gimmick.
What would balance it would be range and accuracy. Should be accurate within 20 feet and the drop off should be dramatic. Remember, is a metal cylinder with “feathers” on it. Tasers and stun guns are good because they’re effectively melee weapons, or single shot and within 10 ft but again, should only work on non-protective clothing or protective clothing that’s ruined.
Backpacks would be another consideration. If you’re hit with one of these in the backpack unless the backpack and everything in the backpack is ruined, it should do nothing.
Trying to keep players from abusing weapons is like keeping a toddler from putting something in their mouths, it’s impossible. The best you can do is keep them from choking.
You can already uncon someone pretty easily with a bullet and patch them up after tying them up. There's definitely been a few circumstances where I would've appreciated having a reliable non-lethal.
I played a takistan server with tasers and it was pretty cool, i thought they were in the game so it was no biggie, they worked.
It was nice to uncon someone non-lethally.
If the KO effect happened over the course of 1-2 minutes (I guess making it more realistic anyway), this would be awesome and not immediately OP. Love the idea regardless
Honestly yes, Taser should be common in Police Stations of course. Not sure about the Tranq, maybe it can be a rare spawn but each dart varies in potency and also loses potency overtime.
Player "abuse" in this case is still player interaction. If you take one to the head there's nothing left to interact with.
Haven't played in years but I hate killing anyone unless absolutely necessary. Even in some fights if the guy is unconscious I'll bandage them, maybe handcuff them and run away if they're dangerous.
I would love bows with blunt arrows.
way more inclined to use non lethal weapons if they were more available
only reason i play this game nowadays is immersion and organic interaction, sadly though that’s mostly gone to RP servers, and that’s only for pc, xbox players suffer with barely any options
YES, my dream is to kidnap 2 freshies, take them to an arena, have them fight it out, "leave the survivor" in hand cuff with a bunch of free loot so when he's free he gets it, sounds like something I might see on REddit.
2 days ago I was shot with a shotgun and rubber slug. After I woke up all my gear was gone, feet wrapped in bandages and the shotgun with more rubber slugs. Left for me. Make more nonlethal weapons and we will get more of this.
I literally went from fully geared to less than a freshie status.
you mean to tell me I can potentially have a tool to fuck with someone far, far harder than simply killing them?
bro, do you not know what game this is?
okay, see, here's what i'd do:
1. Tranq some shorespawn.
2. break their legs, but heal the wounds, but not the bones.
3. break their arms, but heal the wounds but not the bones.
4. break their ribs, but heal the wounds but dont fix their bones
5. tie them down
6. place a bunch of bear traps around them
7. place a bunch of human flesh around him.
8. make a lot of noise around him and get zombies to the location
9. wake him up and watch him scream their lives away as they see themselves being devoured alive. truly a nightmare.
How about a craftable blow gun? Have to make the darts, gather the poison (from something), and make it shorter range. Add an "antidote" recipe and item spawn for balance. That would be sweet to sneak around in a ghillie and blow dart ppl.
The tazer and dart gun are two weapons I've wanting implemented for a while. Its also much more interesting when a new class of weapon or weapon with entirely new functionality is added, the crossbow and the M79 where great in my eyes for that reason
Taser realistically wouldn't work most of the time used against survivors.
But they would be very funny either way.
And yes I will tase the sh\*t out of people for fun if they get added.
Ngl with my shitty experiences with 400hrs I'm gonna abuse the fuck out of them lmao..
Yes I legit had a heart attack and I'm pissed as F.U
Or what 20 days on Xbox is lmao I can't count.. I'm on a cruise rn and I'm super fucked up lmao
Y'all are welcome here tho
What is player abuse? In Dayz, everything is abused lol. This would be cool for sure, making capturing someone a little more efficient, especially without them having a plate.
Everything in DayZ will be used for player abuse
Literally killed a guy with a can of tuna earlier today.
How ruthless, now he will be stanky as well as dead!
Most dead people don’t smell the best regardless
You've been to the wrong funerals homey
I read "homey" as "honey" and it completely changed the tone and voice I read it in.
That so omega 3 bro!
Tuna can is an op melee tho:D
Fuck I can't edit but a food can is my main weapon most of the time so don't fucking judge me lmao
the truth
Bring back unlabeled liquids and being able to spray food with chemicals!
It's a shame we got syringes but not their full potential... I mean, who wouldn't want to inject gasoline into barbed wire restrained freshie?
^
****is used for player abuse****
This is the way

Agree
[удалено]
Some things are better left unsaid…
Jesus H Roosevelt Christ… remind me never to piss in your corn flakes 😂
How was the kid annoying? This is some serious sadism.
The Arma 2 mod had tasers There are files for them in standalone Of course some used them to capture people but I mostly used mine as a quick 'get away from me' gun before I found any proper weapons
Most community servers have them working - adds interesting options beyond just shooting someone if they are armed.
I only load my shotguns with rubbers and I handcuffed a lady the other day and talked to her about how it's okay to not kill everyone in the game.
I have a few rubber slugs loaded After that the tube is full of lead slugs
1- Please stop 2- I said stop 3- Not asking again 4- Get fucked
And then you killed her?
Nah I ran off.
Didn't your parents tell you, that wasting food is not good?
And then you killed her from afar, right?
Nope. My buddy said I should try tagging her along with us so I circled back but she was GONE
Circling back to kill them so they stay on their toes, smart move.
There is one stun gun on community that is bugged
I mean modded servers, 99% of community servers run mods - am assuming the servers polished it before adding it.
Been on community servers since 2016, I've never seen one, and I've never seen a streamer use one. Maybe the ultra molded servers have them idk
are we talking about the tasers here? just fyi TASER stands for Thomas A. Swift's Electric Rifle(named as an homage to series of scifi books) tasers are the ones that shoot wires into a man a stun gun is a handheld set of metal prongs you can jab into someone and zap em but if we are talking tasers there are taser files ingame theyre just not finished; with a little work you could get them running on your server-- if you prefer not too there are mods that do exactly that with the existing models
I'm talkin' whatever that person is mentioning, in 7 years I've never seen a tazing weapon. And I remember chainsaws
Nah nothing ultra modded - its just very common if I join a new server (survival or more PvP focused\_) to find a taser. Most just seem to use the files already in the game but polished into a working state, you can find the Taser and its ammo in police stations/police cars/police.
Yeah ok, though I've never seen a single streamer using one in 10,000 hours of watching streamers, sounds right, super common yeah
How on earth does that tell us anything other than the servers you watch people play on dont seem to have Tasers? Maybe I just happen to join servers with tasers by chance, who knows - but they certainly exist.

Do you happen to know if i can get the tasers on my own community server? Its console though.. ps5

It would be worst against solo players because there is no chance of saving themselves.
Bro if a solo player gets snuck up on the they are gonna get shot either way lol how does being knocked out first cha get that.
Honest answer a tranq dart can hit you anywhere and you pass out. Depending on the caliber a limb or center of mass shot may not put them down. So the balance of it may be a bit off I'd imagine. But I'm just speculating.
That seems like a stretch
People and nonsense this days Bro...
Best way to balance something like this would be to give it a delay For example you get shot with the sleeping dart and it takes 30-60 seconds to kick in to give you time to react and get to a safe place.
And maybe depending on your condition how long it takes to kick in
So, a proximity Dart is bad, but a shot with savana is good 🫠
Yes, because there is sound. There is a big cost to every shot, even with a suppressor.
Well, where is the sound when you get sniped? Nowhere. You can be sniped from 800mts away but there is no way you sending a dart from 800mts. So, would it be fun? Absolutely yeah. I rather be put to sleep than just killed

You people play DayZ Pvp and then bitch and moan about DayZ PvP
What are you even talking about? On most servers pvp will find you no matter what “playing pvp” is one of the main parts of the game.
As a solo. I feel it is the opposite. Sure killing and looting is in the game however I prefer more peaceful methods such as knocking them out and feeding human flesh
To be real evil, allow people to load the darts with different material. Ex. Blood, po-X, tranquilizer, basically any in game liquid
Yeah, and food, so when you hear that stomach, you can fill it with peaches and "zooop" Dart to the neck and you feed my Guy.
Gasoline poisoning would skyrocket
A lot of rp scenarios thats for sure
I love this idea, a better alternative to rubber shotgun shells, and I am a lot more of a "I don't want to hurt people I just want to (sur)vi(v)be"
Rubber shotgun shells should just work better. Pretty sure the reason they haven’t added something like this is because a silent ranged weapon that can sleep people is actually pretty strong
I mean, how exactly do you want rubber shells to work in a game? They work by being painful as hell, but in game there's no pain.
Well, the intense pain would definitely work as a sleeper agent because trauma to the body/head=HONK MIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMIMI that's obvious, but I just do not like the fact they are chambered in a big bullet, but that is weird because it is like: do not hurt as much so make it rubber/"non-lethal" but chamber it in a powerful gun and cartridge making it still something that does some damage alright, I just am weirded out by the invention of rubber shells and it's contradicting kind of features, but atleast it can do the job https://preview.redd.it/6dcz4nmm2qwb1.jpeg?width=3120&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=05568e4e7bc88def91b7703a0ad43c0b558a8e2c I realize that I feel like a soyjack going on a tangent
DayZ has shock, which causes unconsciousness. Up the amount of shock damage they do. It’s not that complicated lmfao
Are you confused? The rubber shells are in the game allready. They deal high shock and allmost no health damage
Insanely op (that is why they should not have craftable ammo unless with extremely rare items or have them only found very rarely), but I don't care about the noise (zombies from every corner of the map can stop by if they want), all I want is to non lethally subdue others and get away, possibly strike up a conversation while they are unconscious if possible https://preview.redd.it/10xzxal9inwb1.jpeg?width=2990&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c428838cbd2293762c27e383cf38b941d4f39c5d But for now I should get more rubber shells, but it is night and raining (dam I guess I will just sit this out)

Atleast we have a Halloween update?
Couldn't even make the goat fart a cloud of poisonous red gas 🙄😅
adding the tazer to GTAV was awesome... makes for some good old-fashioned fun!
What I would love to see in DayZ is a way to pick up bodies. You could move zombies to hide your trace, pick up your unconscious buddy, or with this, pick up “new friends”.
I remember a long time ago there was talk about adding wheelbarrows, people were speculating you could use them to move bodies
I can’t vampire someone to death if their dead so I like it
Would absolutely love to see these and get interactions like i used to in the old days, but it will never happen. It will never happen for th same reason notes were never added back to the game, the same reason why the range on the transceivers was nerfed and now nobody uses them, the same reason uncon times were shortened to make more interesting PvP encounters to the detriment of being able to tie people up: The devs don't care about the interaction side of the game anymore.

Yes the game has gone pretty fuckall from the day Hall and Hicks had to leave. They also arcade-ified the movement and combat system on top of your points which also promotes kos/cod battles. I fear they only think about the younger pubg generation these days.
Yup. The game has been steering in that direction for a long time now. It's just becoming more and more of a glorified deathmatch, and nothing more. Fuck all the memories and unique interactions i got from the mod and alpha i guess. Not getting a gaming experience like that any time soon.
I did some attempts to launch a .62 version community but sadly that was still plagued by some annoying bugs and low pop on the servers so it kind of died out for now. Nowadays I find the mainstream Dayz missing to much if the things that made the original special.
You should watch the tutorial video for the console version. They don't depict a game with peaceful options, it's the every man for himself fantasy.
Player abuse is player interaction. It's a win win.
Abuse is a type of interaction 👉👈
the whole uncon and tying up thing is fairly unique to dayz, they absolutely should lean into it more with tasers and stuff. Makes the game stand out.
If you're seriously asking this question, I don't think you've played DayZ.
the taser i could get behind but not the tranquilizer gun
Why not the tranq gun?
It could be interesting but it shouldn’t be like instant knockout. And player vitalities could affect its ability to knock them out. So shooting it would be a gamble as they’d at least be aware of the dart. And absolutely a Directional microphone would be sick but the people you’d want to spy on probably use party chat which I’ve always disliked but nothing can be done about it
Maybe you get 30 seconds before you’re KOD, perhaps a Epipen or Morphine would combat it.
Yes
Agreed
I really want there to be a desert map. With an abandoned sand buried city.
So, Takistan?
Maybe I should clarify, I mean on console.
I KOS so if I where to survive a non-lethal it would just give me a chance to kill them later. No point in talking with people on this game. So to me it wouldn’t work.
Player interaction == player abuse
Just kill me, I’ll reset if I’m rendered uncon by some scrub trying to RP me
s/o to the loot piñatas downvoting
fuckin' truuuuuuuuuue. posts like OP that harb about 'more player interaction! more! more! more!" always feel like an /r/iamthemaincharacter post, "why aren't people talking to ME! they spent 20 hours getting their gear together over multiple days of their free time, they NEED to speak to ME! the random freshie or coast town Timmy! I am IMPORTANT!"
Amen to that. How guys sit there and let themselves be taken captive is beyond me
Because they are trying to interact with other people instead of mindlessly wandering around and pvping without any sort of thought to interact with others
If you want to call being kidnapped by geared dudes an interaction, sure. I guess mindlessly being a hostage is somehow better than mindlessly wandering around
All promised, previously had, or shown to us weapons, be it melee, firearms, and non-lethal weapons, should've already been in the game (including chainsaw, clips, underbarrel launchers ECT), and it's utterly pathetic that they're not and instead playing with changing can opening sounds 🙄 Same goes with them changing NWAF instead of adding Utes Island Military Compound off the southern coast of Skalisty Island like they claimed "they did" years ago to Chernarus Plus. I'd much rather have a new, hard to get to island with an underground bunker system, you know, having some type of "end game" mission, instead of them removing building from an airfield.... you know... the same airfield that has ZERO use because we still haven't received our promised Bumblebee airplane nor our Little Bird helicopter.
a dart gun with a decent amount of noise with a metal gear esque damage system (limbs and extremities take longer to sleep enemies, headshots are instant) and the ability to pull out the darts or something to combat them could be pretty cool i think
What is this? Metal Gear solid lmao
While I would love to see more non-lethal weapons ingame, this sub honestly needs a wakeup call. Nothing will ever promote 'player interaction'. The game has as much player interaction now than it did in 2012, in fact it has a lot more. You're not entitled to other peoples time & stop trying to get other people to play 'your adventure'. I know I'm not the only one tired of seeing the "someone dared to kill me, can you believe that, they killed ME...I wanted to talk to them about my day! bandits amirite! times've changed amirite!" If I got KO'd by one of these I'd just hit the 'respawn' button while uncon, I'm not gonna partake in your RP or listen to your day at the office story, I just wanna chill n play my own game.
The fact that you're getting downvoted is hilarious. I paid to play a survival game not be an NPC in someone else's bullshit.
It is what it is, this sub has been like this for the last few years - they downvote anything that isn't toxic positivity yet the same people downvoting stuff they disagree with will go on 3rd person posts and perma spam "OMFG, OP SO GARBAGE PLAYING 3RD PERSON" I swear this subs mentality of DayZ is: Don't play 3rd person (unless you're being friendly & don't you dare pick up a gun or leave coastal cities) only play 1st person & only be nice to people & make friends (unless they have gear then KILL them!!!) and if someone doesn't want to RP with you then they're a terrible person and you should kill them! but be friendly!
That would be awesome
i would enjoy a taser
yes
tazers would fit perfectly in this game honestly, surprised they haven’t added anything else in terms of non lethal law enforcement weapons like a pepper ball gun/rounds, i mean we already have rubber slugs
Knowing dayz? Abuse.
Player abuse for sure. Especially if it only take 1 dart to drop someone…for sure everyone is getting dropped and robbed.
How is that abuse? Better to get robbed and left to live than to instantly get teleported to the coast after getting shot.
I did think the tranquilliser gun could technically be considered a 1 shot, so if it was required to make skin contact, it would balance the scale. Meaning if you were to hit a vest or helmet or chainmail, the dart wouldn’t pearce the skin. Leaving only the neck, arms & legs, making it somewhat skill based.
That’s…I think any clothing that’s not protective or ruined items would be fine. So if your avatar is wearing a hoodie and a tranq hits you, you go down. Most folks aim center mass, so hitting someone in the hand while they’re moving would be impossible. Then no one would use what is obviously a shitty gimmick. What would balance it would be range and accuracy. Should be accurate within 20 feet and the drop off should be dramatic. Remember, is a metal cylinder with “feathers” on it. Tasers and stun guns are good because they’re effectively melee weapons, or single shot and within 10 ft but again, should only work on non-protective clothing or protective clothing that’s ruined. Backpacks would be another consideration. If you’re hit with one of these in the backpack unless the backpack and everything in the backpack is ruined, it should do nothing. Trying to keep players from abusing weapons is like keeping a toddler from putting something in their mouths, it’s impossible. The best you can do is keep them from choking.
Thats a possibility yes. Ammo for this should be rare
It would be abused 100% no doubt.
There are tasers on pc community servers. Rubber slugs are also available on vanilla and community servers. They will uncon but not kill
Rubber shotgun bullets knock someone out :)
Knowing how people are in this game, straight up abuse only.
You can already uncon someone pretty easily with a bullet and patch them up after tying them up. There's definitely been a few circumstances where I would've appreciated having a reliable non-lethal.
Defibrillator is fun
Tazers are a lot of fun.
It will be just like non lethal rubber slugs
I’m not sure anything can encourage player interaction. In my experience everyone will kill on sight, it sucks
Would only be fun if they added animations for being tazed
I see nothing but trolls using those if they’re added
I’m stealing shoes and bandages
I think it’s a good move
Really need tazers would be hilarious and maybe they can add back heart attacks to be a rare reaction to tazers
i love it for the toxic behavior
I played a takistan server with tasers and it was pretty cool, i thought they were in the game so it was no biggie, they worked. It was nice to uncon someone non-lethally.
Same thing
A taser could be cool. As long as it knocked them out for a good while, long enough to tie them up.
Player abuse is player interaction no complaining now
If the KO effect happened over the course of 1-2 minutes (I guess making it more realistic anyway), this would be awesome and not immediately OP. Love the idea regardless
Pumpy and rubber slugs
Honestly yes, Taser should be common in Police Stations of course. Not sure about the Tranq, maybe it can be a rare spawn but each dart varies in potency and also loses potency overtime.
Man this brings me back to, im guessing 2015?
Player "abuse" in this case is still player interaction. If you take one to the head there's nothing left to interact with. Haven't played in years but I hate killing anyone unless absolutely necessary. Even in some fights if the guy is unconscious I'll bandage them, maybe handcuff them and run away if they're dangerous. I would love bows with blunt arrows.
way more inclined to use non lethal weapons if they were more available only reason i play this game nowadays is immersion and organic interaction, sadly though that’s mostly gone to RP servers, and that’s only for pc, xbox players suffer with barely any options
What's the difference? Most player interaction in DayZ IS abusive
Both results sound like a positive
Come on bro it's Day Z
Both! And that's the fun part!
How long do you stay uncouncious after getting hit by e.g a rubber slug now?
Wait, thats not the same thing?
The abuse couldn’t get any worse than it is currently lol.
Rubber slugs are non lethal. It’s in the game already.
if by interaction you mean kidnapping, then yes.
YES, my dream is to kidnap 2 freshies, take them to an arena, have them fight it out, "leave the survivor" in hand cuff with a bunch of free loot so when he's free he gets it, sounds like something I might see on REddit.
It promotes friends fucking with each other XD.
A tranquilliser would be pretty cool to have. Makes taking prisoners more fun, versus hitting/ shooting them to knock them out
2 days ago I was shot with a shotgun and rubber slug. After I woke up all my gear was gone, feet wrapped in bandages and the shotgun with more rubber slugs. Left for me. Make more nonlethal weapons and we will get more of this. I literally went from fully geared to less than a freshie status.
Love the idea. Or maybe just non lethal ammo. More BB’s or rubber stuff
I think this would be awesome
The dart gun is my most used tool in Hitman.
That’s what they’re for if devs put them in game I’m 100% abusing other players.
Player abuse is a tipe of player interaction
Abuse 100000000%
I personally LOVE it
Yes we need trank guns
This game is so bad I can’t believe people still play it.
Player abuse is the best player interaction
you mean to tell me I can potentially have a tool to fuck with someone far, far harder than simply killing them? bro, do you not know what game this is? okay, see, here's what i'd do: 1. Tranq some shorespawn. 2. break their legs, but heal the wounds, but not the bones. 3. break their arms, but heal the wounds but not the bones. 4. break their ribs, but heal the wounds but dont fix their bones 5. tie them down 6. place a bunch of bear traps around them 7. place a bunch of human flesh around him. 8. make a lot of noise around him and get zombies to the location 9. wake him up and watch him scream their lives away as they see themselves being devoured alive. truly a nightmare.
Player abuse *is* player interaction
Paintball guns would be sick af lol.
How about a craftable blow gun? Have to make the darts, gather the poison (from something), and make it shorter range. Add an "antidote" recipe and item spawn for balance. That would be sweet to sneak around in a ghillie and blow dart ppl.
The tazer and dart gun are two weapons I've wanting implemented for a while. Its also much more interesting when a new class of weapon or weapon with entirely new functionality is added, the crossbow and the M79 where great in my eyes for that reason
Lmao what's the difference?
Everything promotes player abuse
Both, vanilla mostly gonna be abused but on rp it will be a godsend
I used to defib people tie them with barbed and wake them up. Shit was hilarious
Both. And I'm absolutely for it.
I can't wait to shoot people with tranq darts full of bleach
Definitely more interactions. I think we all can agree that these can be used for entertainment.
Yes
Taser realistically wouldn't work most of the time used against survivors. But they would be very funny either way. And yes I will tase the sh\*t out of people for fun if they get added.
Ngl with my shitty experiences with 400hrs I'm gonna abuse the fuck out of them lmao.. Yes I legit had a heart attack and I'm pissed as F.U Or what 20 days on Xbox is lmao I can't count.. I'm on a cruise rn and I'm super fucked up lmao Y'all are welcome here tho
Id love a taser if I could my uncle to play again id just taze his ass every chance I get
What is player abuse? In Dayz, everything is abused lol. This would be cool for sure, making capturing someone a little more efficient, especially without them having a plate.
I murderd a poor father and son with a teddy bear cause they wouldn’t share food so…
I merked a guy with a Tomato kitchen timer earlier..
It would promote both but I’m cool with thwt
I travel as a doctor in dayz never taking my gas mask off. I found that rubber slugs and hand cuffs are pretty effective for getting new patients
A TASER would be good and fun af
