Talk:Shoot the Messenger
If anything, this actually makes combat reviving more profitable. Given that a syringe can be found using 8AP, and it takes 10AP to combat revive a zombie (that's a total of 18AP, obviously,) and that shooting a zombie will take around 27AP with a pistol (60HP, flak,) and 22AP with a shotgun (again, 60HP with a flak.) These figures do not include the AP required to search.
Now, if one follows this tactic, they must do the following:
- Find ammo (roughly 25AP for enough pistol ammo)
- Find the human in question (Depends, anywhere between 1AP and infinite AP, depending on luck. I'll go with five.)
- Kill the human in question (as stated above, 27AP on a 60HP human with a flak.)
So that's a total of over 50AP to seek one's "revenge" on the human. Although this may stop newer players from combat reviving again, it won't stop a seasoned player - just act as a minor inconvenience. So, someone who adopted this tactic would make combat reviving far more effective then someone who did not ;).
Also - you would have killed at least one human in the time you spent hunting down another, and finding ammo. Linkthewindow Talk 12:43, 3 June 2009 (BST)
- I forgot to mention that one should add 12AP to the cost for the human (bringing it up to 30AP) - I forgot to mention the cost of standing. Linkthewindow Talk 12:59, 3 June 2009 (BST)
