Hello dear Players and People at Avalanche
I had a feature and QOL list slowly compiling in my head during GenZero gemaplay and I decided to share it.
Everything below is my opinion, it could be proven wrong, bad or terrible, nothing here is a must do, this game is amazing as it is, absolutely worth the money.
List of QOL improvements (no specific order):
- Show distance between a map marker and you location
- Designated buttons for binoculars and gas mask
- Quick main weapon switch button (Q)
- Bullet type switch button
- Ability to use healing items from inventory (right click use)
- Inventory sort button (by item type: ammo, weapon, healing item, throw-able)
- Mark last death location on the map
Possible new features:
Car alarms:
Some cars may have working sound alarm (medium lure) which turns on when door or trunk is opened, hacker perk may auto disable them. Tiny flashing light on a car dashboard could indicate if alarm is present
Basic crafting
Lets say we could scrap unused weapons and they attachments and receive scrap parts āscrapsā. Scrap parts could be used to craft exotic looking / rare weapon attachments or skins / bullets / etc. This would be done at crafting stations (just as we have bike stands at safehouses) or crafting stations could be just few on the whole map. This could be very basic crafting system with just one type/rarity of āScrapsā. X number scarps = crafted item.
Temporary buffs/boosts
Food items or drugs found on the map could give short time boost in some player stats. examples: faster reload for 2 minutes; no weapon sway, night vision, faster running, faster stamina recharge, defence increase, stealthā¦
Melee attacks/weapons
Yes some people asked for melee, and yes it would make no sense with blunt weapons since Machines are huge, heavy and hardā¦
Butā¦
What if your melee weapon was an electric shock batton which would temporary disable a Machine like EMP does
Orā¦
A spear with some sort of thermite injecting tip which would set enemy on fire at least disable some armor plates
Rare āmodernā cycle
Very ultra rare blueprints of experimental military bike. (regular bike with some shimano gears, slighlty faster and better for inclines)
In game Polaroid camera and photo album
Fun and cool and original
Some things you should never do (my opinion):
Make game easier
Add thirst and hunger
Battle Royale
Vehicles (other than bikes)
Most important:
Never forget your playerbase are young adults who have patience, who enjoy slower paced tactical shooter with possible teamplay / Coop strategy. Not those who wish for PUBG, Fortnite, COD, DOOM, Wolfenstein, Overwatch, RUST, Minecraft clones etc.
Thank you very much!
Stay safe!
