Flares or Flare Guns?

| Description: Flare guns, Scouts start with them, others find them by searching various areas. Let's look at it logically though. How often even in the event of a Zombie Apocolypse are you going to see a guy running around with 8 Flare Guns sticking out of God only knows where? I suggest a small change.
Flare Used by Flare Gun Contents 1 Flare Locations Fire Stations (5%), Mall Hardware Stores (2%/3%), Armories (3%), Stadiums (2%), Police Departments (1%) Encumbrance 2% / 0% when loaded Description A single Flare. It costs 1 AP to reload a Flare into the Flare Gun. A Flare Gun can hold at most 1 Flare. I hope you like this suggestion I am new to the Wiki so this is kinda a rough draft. |
Discussion (Flares or Flare Guns?)
Interesting idea. I personally have gotten a little tired of wasting encumbrance on flare guns, but to have to search for flare bullets to stock the gun and clip, I dunno. I think I'd rather use those Action Points on searching for first-aid kits and on zombie hits. --TheBardofAwesome 19:09, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
- Re-----The two options are either clip or individual flares so you would not have to find individual flares for the clip, if that's what you meant.

First, if your going to reply, put ":" in front. Secondly, as I read this, your suggesting turning flare guns into "normal" guns (ie., requiring ammo). As flare guns stand now, nobody REALLY uses them. For combat, you have, at best, a 15% chance to hit. And firing flares into the air? Most people just consider it spam. When was the last time you saw a flare and DIDN'T ignore it? That having been said, there have been suggestions for colored flares and other ways to make the non-weapon uses more useful. If those were to get implemented, this might have some merit. But unless that happens, this really isn't needed.--Pesatyel 21:10, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
- I use flare guns frequently in combat with my Pker. :P --Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 21:13, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
- The exception that proves the rule lol.--Pesatyel 06:38, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
I'd accept this if you went with the second option, so that flare guns worked like the other guns, but could only have one flare installed at a time. As for searching, to avoid dilluting the search pool, I'd be in favour of splitting the current search rates for flare guns in to flare guns and flares, so that the overall search rate wasn't effected.--Yonnua Koponen Talk !

- So, basically, get rid of the "clip"?--Pesatyel 06:38, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
- Okay Option 2 is in.--Thomas Orion 19:01, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
