Way to break down old items for resources

I would like to suggest a way to break down items such as guns, in order to get resources from them. I have to throw away guns for space, and it feels like such a waste. If there were a feature to break down guns for resources it would not feel like such a waste.

It would be a good idea (just like in Fallout games).

Thank goodness they do not do this, crafting or base building. I love that this game is not a carbon copy of all the other games out there. I like that it is unique & challenging myself.

Adding in crafting or base building doesn’t make it not unique. It would just be a feature that would be added with the game. That’s like saying the feature of gun attachments is like other games so it’s a carbon copy of other games. Breaking down guns for resources wouldn’t even have to be within a new system of crafting, I just want something when I break down a gun I no longer use anymore.

I think this is a great idea personally, the ability to take lower level guns than what you currently have but then gain something out of them would give a lot of worth to the lower level guns as being a source of resources. Alongside that it would make bunker runs better because then the long weapon boxes you find wouldn’t be something you’d ignore, but instead you could take the things inside and give them an alternate purpose.
Maybe this could be a way to earn resources when crafting is introduced eventually, outside of killing machines. :slight_smile:

I disagree strongly this game is a “guerrilla” it even states this in the game crafting & base building are common to survival games or common shooters. This game has a keep moving theme not a hang around crafting or building theme. I for one would be very upset if they ruined the theme & feel by forcing that on all since it is not why I bought the game. However if they add it as a DLC & allow that exclusion from MM then I have no issues with it those who want it should pay for it those that like the guerrilla fighting feel should not be forced into a copy cat game feel if they do not want it IMO.

If a building or crafting system comes to the game it would not be something fancy , for example building would let you build small fortifications to cover your shelf but it wouldnt allow you to build entire houses or if crafting gets added to the game it would allow you make simply things similar to real life and not railguns and small atomic bombs

I think it would be a good addition if done right.

Like for example; we currently find Flares and Sticky Flares in game.
Why can’t we just find Flares and Duct-tape and make our own Sticky Flares when we need them?

Or create nailbombs/pipebombs and molotov cocktails from things we find?
If you see the setting of this game, something like that would fit perfectly.

DIY and improvised weaponry but not full weapons like the glock/walther/shotguns etc.

Like I said as long as it is not forced on all & as a DLC for those who want it I have zero issue with it. I also want to opt-out of MM with those that have said DLC. I do not want to force my vision of the game on others nor should they seek to force their vision on me. Those who want special modes should be the ones who pay for the development of them IMO.

We spend a long time sorting through inventory with the current system :rofl: might as well craft a combo experimental cross breed shot-Kipst while im there , maybe we could craft a large storage box that works better than one we have now :+1: ._ a bit of crafting Yes but not full on Ark/Minecraft

Even if it was added you don’t have to use it, and crafting wouldn’t make the game less unique. Running around and shooting things is common but you don’t whine about how every shooter game has it.

I honestly would not know why GZ needs sandbags.

I mean: IF you get caught out by some machines in the open field, for some reason, you have (IMHO) done something wrong. :wink:

And houses/structures provide enough cover if you use/exploit them properly.
Reinforcing them with sandbags might sound cool, but I think it would get tedious very quick. Especially if you are in a hurry because herpaderp 6 FNIX Hunters are staring you down <— I would not go and place sandbags in that case. :rofl:

Totally understand mate having to drop exceptional weapons for space for ammo then theres the Scopes ,suppressors and other things u think u might need? Really they should up the space count on those plunder boxes, anyway Take care

Even so, @SteampunkPagan has every right to disagree with the idea. This is a discussion forum, you won’t get very far if you accuse people of being whiny just because they have a different opinion. Keep it civil while you’re here, yeah?

Yeah I like the idea but there always seems to be some weird bug attached to something new added to the game. As long as they can get rid of the old bugs first before adding anything else that could be potentially game breaking . We all want to see the game expand and have new stuff to do and bugs have been I guess what you could call growing pains but please don’t break our game devs, we know you don’t mean too, we just want to play w/o fifty eleven crashes a day.

He’s complaining about features of the game I don’t see how it’s not whining or civilized to say that. It’s just an adjective and it’s subjective as to whether or not it’s an insult, and I didn’t try to insult him.

Hello,
I am not complaining about any features that are in the game. I was just not in agreement with you as to your wish for another new feature. I also did say that I fully support it being added as a DLC for those who wish it & the ability to opt-out of MM with players using that feature. I even said I do not want to force my vision on others. I have no issues with those who do not agree with my opinions & I truly do not want to deny others features in this game I just believe that when they dramatically alter the game they should be as a DLC so that those who want it can have it & those that do not…well…do not have to have it. I truly am sorry that this opinion offends you so deeply & will stop posting in this thread so as to avoid further offense. Take care & have a great time gaming.

I understand your opinion but I am not offended I was not trying to insult you I apologize. I feel like instead of dlc maybe there should be an option to turn it off and on.
