Valentine Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 You saw the title. Main idea is to make radios actually have use instead of attracting hungry zomboids to your local bungalow. Airdrops would be a random event and could be a civilian aid airdrop, or a military aid airdrop. These would be announced over radio. This is a good idea because it would actually make radios and walkie talkies (such as the military HAM radio and the military walkie talkie) actually useful. This would make players keep a walkie talky on them at all times (on the belt) in the chance there's an airdrop called in somewhere to grab. You could also create some kind of zed story at these locations as well such as : Airdrop was taken before you could get there : military was ambushed by bandits at the airdrop : civilians went to the airdrop was ambushed by bandits or military, vice versa. This would be gold in multiplayer as gangs of players would compete for the airdrop in the chance of getting their group more powerful fire power.

Caturday Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 But how you gonna describe the location for these drops ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentine Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 I'd make it only drops at town locations and is marked with a red smoke or something so players can see it. Its a tricky one since you cant really go off coordinates on this game. Unless you add grids to the game maps and say its getting dropped in grid 2A or something.

Burger_Time Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 There'd be no one left alive to drop those in the first place. The whole world kinda dies in about two weeks and I'd say those remaining survivors would neither know how to control planes nor want to share their supplies. gabriel rodrigues brandao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentine Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 Well there's a helicopter event in game. Doubt there are survivors flying that around so I guess there would be some type of military still alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leon2356 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I had an idea like this a while ago, where you could use smoke grenades to call in airdrops from helicopters. Turning the heli event into a risk reward type thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toshis Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) Dont know the lore of PZ. This zombie virus is local event or global? I always imagined that it is local event and that area that you play in is isolated from the rest of the word by military. No one can come in or leave and military helicopter is checking the situation. Edited December 31, 2020 by Toshis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On default settings helicopter happens only once, before everything else collapses. gabriel rodrigues brandao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquelarrefox Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 a chance to get something of the pain chopper looks fine to me. but looks like something for the npc period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulgarianCarThief Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 This would not tie well with the lore of the game. The whole world is dead in matter of weeks since the virus is airborne .. so there's no one left except a handful of immune survivors like us. The helicopter events happens only once by default (and i imagine cannon) and that is probably the military personnel escaping from the border of the exclusion zone when the zombies break through.
