Bullet_Magnate Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) Occurred to me recently that good old fashioned tripwires, as simple as they are, would be *extremely* useful in a PZ-type scenario. I don't think zombies would have the sense to look for and avoid them. They'd be very useful as a quick-and-dirty measure to protect an area or cover a retreat, and in many cases would be very easy to set up. There are already several items in-game that could be used for this purpose (wire, twine, rope, sheet ropes, etc.). Two stakes or tent pegs and a length of cord, and you'd be good to go. Balance could be maintained by (1) having a chance that zombies cross without falling, and (2) having a chance the tripwire breaks each time it does work. If they're modeled to be hard to see on-screen, they could have PvP applications, as well.

Axezombie Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Nice idea, and add to them empty cans if you want to make an alarm. Laker, Bullet_Magnate and getstoopid 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laker Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 That's a good idea. There is a mod that sort of does what you are suggesting, it's not a tripwire, but called "Spear Pit". Dig a grave, add 5 spears, when a zombie walks over it, it dies. The problem with it is that it works that way on the player as well. I can't remember if there was an option to turn off killing the player. Bullet_Magnate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Bargas Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 First time I've heard of this mod. Will it give a better experience in the game, I have never tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
