Yuval 2 Posted April 4, 2014 If anyone played metro then you guys remember that there were 2 types of rounds, the ones which were kept from before the apocalypse, which have improved accuracy and damage, and the home made ammo, which has a weaker damage module and lower accuracy. Would you guys there to be some sort of home made STANAG, AK and pistol ammo? which will only spawn at civilian spawns or could even be crafted? While the good ammunition spawns at crash sites and barracks? Maybe create a recipe for ammo to be made from scrap, gunpowder? (if can be added) and a toolbox? and will only have low blood damage, but not by allot ( if stanag does atm 4K, homemade ammo will do 3-3.5) Also, as you only craft the ammo and not the entire magazine, maybe you will have to combine this with a empty mag of choice (which could spawn empty and tents/ barracks for military grade weapons, and at barns, houses and etc for civ grade weapons) How i think this will change people's gamestyle 1. More traffic towards industrial spawns to get this ammo 2. Less effective ammo results in less firefights as your guns won't be as powerful as before. 3. Will add a high tier item for ammunition types. 4. With this, normal ammo should become more scares then before, guns would spawn maybe without ammo or with top 2 mags. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeadKiller 0 Posted April 4, 2014 Well. Here is my opinion on this. Generally You need to know what you are doing to make Ammo. And you need special tool. Tools that are hard to come by and are very heavy and need to be mounted on something. Also, Hand made ammo made by someone is more often then not Better than military ammo because, military ammo is mass produced. The Idea is a good one. Also I like the idea of civ ammo. Maybe finding .223 Rem. insed of 5.56. Just my two cents. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan Woods 3 Posted April 4, 2014 But it takes time and these bullets could prove of low quality... maybe even blow up the gun... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But still making bullets at a camp fire in a couple of seconds, with some scrap and gunpowder is a bit to unrealistic for me. Again I'm all for civilian ammo type thou Just to give you an Idea. This is what a reloading bench looks like. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is what a reloading bench looks like. i see your point, but yet you can replace the engine of a bus in less then 10 seconds? Could be one of those things which don't really make sense IRL, but would be a nice addition to the game 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would be cool and is possible since you can make crossbow bolts. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ketamine Posted April 4, 2014 Its a no from me, ammo is conman enough, it makes sense in a RP sense but why would anybody pick up homemade rounds, when there is pristine rounds everywhere. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes they could do that but I just don't think there is a need Metro and DayZ are a lot different we don't have Metro they all live in tunnels in DayZ we still have control on industrial complexes and other relevant factory. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest neom Posted April 4, 2014 No no no no no no unless you can carry around that bullet press you'd run out of ammo super fast and if there were a few of these lying about people would camp them -1 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
