From what I have experienced it seems apparent that their are some playable mechanics that could implemented to improve the general experience of the game for everyone.
One of these ideas would be to add a “prone” stance where (like in Call of Duty) you crawl in a low profile position which subsequently could reduce detection by the machines at the cost of manoeuverability.
We could also include a melee function for the player character to punch surfaces which could be used to open up windows so that it’s easier to both shoot and see out of them.
Feel free to leave any comment and ideas below. Have a good one.
You used to be able to go prone in the Beta, but it was removed for technical reasons if I recall correctly.
Melee is something that many have suggested thus far, with many different iterations of melee weapons, using martial arts, etc.
Personally I wouldn’t mind some kind of melee attack to fend off Ticks, and as you said, break windows.
Well if they could get past the technical issue of going prone, that would be great. Would add to the realism especially when sniping. Like the idea of melee attacks also when fending off ticks. They could give us A club or ax to put in the hand gun slot.
Fishing rod; Tie a flare (or firework if you’re brave!) to a fishing line and cast the lit flare out a significant distance using the rod. You can then use Mouse1/Fire to reel in the line bringing the flare closer to the player.
Craftable tripwire; Ability to place triggerable items (flares, fireworks, small&medium EMP, sirens etc) with a trigger wire so that machines crossing the wire set off the object.
Find and use Dynamite and Sprängdeg m/46; Then the gas/pressure cans are level 1 explosives, dynamite at L2 and Sprängdeg as L3 explosives (to match the machine tier progression of prototype/military/fnix) allowing suitable performance differences between the tiers rather than the present attempt at balancing with only one type (gas cans) which are available throughout the whole game (dynamite and sprängdeg could be tier/zone restricted like the better guns are, ability to use Sprängdeg m/46 plastic explosive could be skill gated if necessary since regular people aren’t going to know how to set up military plastic explosives).
Set rope; Ability to set a rappelling rope and descend to a safe footing area below.
Climb trees; Break off pursuit by climbing up a tree and hiding, get a good vantage or spring an ambush.
Roll; Tap a direction twice to perform a dodge/roll for some distance in that direction
Kick-in; Don’t have time to stand out in the open fiddling with that house door? Kick it in (would require stamina), makes quite a bit of noise and the door can’t be closed after.
Diamond weapons : - Very rare drops with some stats better than gold weapons and maybe unique skins.
Tougher than FNIX Tanks - Much more armour, more weapons, ability to target more than one person at a time, can drop weapons and more ammo than standard tanks.

Conceal: The player goes prone and covers him/herself in grass, branches, snow or something. It takes 10-15 seconds to get in position, but now machines can’t detect you unless they step on you. You can’t do anything except look around, and breaking cover also takes a few seconds. Good for hiding when it’s too late to run, or setting ambushes. Only works on certain surfaces, or maybe only under a tree or bush.
Are you guys thinking to implement some kind of chest or something so we can keep the things we dont need right away in our safe houses??? Is kinda sad we have such small inventory and we have to throw away so much good things,
So, I personally think that climbing and being able to go prone are the two biggest things they could add to improve the player mechanics.
Next biggest thing for me would be the ability to swap ammo without going into your inventory. A sane person would have a mix of magazines prepped ahead of time (though I think that level of detail would be overkill) so that they would just have to swap a magazine and cycle the action to swap ammo types. Lack of this is honestly the reason I don’t stockpile AP ammo for anything except the Pvg 50, it’s just not worth the space.
Being able to pick up and move the bike (even if it slows you down and prevents you from using a gun) would be really nice to have, some of the bike stations are in very poorly chosen locations that you can’t really get a bike out of.
Some kind of ghillie suit and/or ballistic vests (obviously not both at the same time for balance reasons) would be nice too.
A proper range finder would also be good to have, but just providing enough info in game together with properly calibrating the mil-dot sights would be a good enough alternative IMO (and ideally better flexibility with sights, there’s no practical reason you couldn’t mount a 1-4x scope on an SMG, and you can definitely mount one on an AK).
