'''Suggestion type'''<br />
Zombie Hunter Skill

'''Suggestion scope'''<br />
Survivors above level 10

'''Suggestion description'''<br />
Adds a new skill, called Iron Sights. The skill would be priced the same as the current Zombie Hunter skill Headshot (100XP)

In terms of flavour, it could be considered that the longer-lasting survivors have now become 'adjusted' to the horrors of the zombie outbreak, and as such are now no longer panicking as much when faced with the undead, allowing them to carefully place their shots.

Iron Sights allows you to use the iron sights on any firearm (Pistol, Shotgun and any that are implemented later) for a 10% accuracy boost. For the interest of fairness, Flare Guns shall not be considered to have iron sights as they are not intended to be fired at specific targets.

Purchasing Iron Sights adds a new drop-down menu, called Aim. There are two options in this menu; Pistol and Shotgun. Clicking Aim will increase the accuracy of the selected gun by 10%, and deducts 1AP. The percentage is lowered again following the player's next action, meaning that the accuracy boost is only available for one shot.

Although this increases the overall damage-per-bullet amount, it also decreases the amount of times you will be able to fire for any given AP value by almost 50%.

Being attacked whilst aiming will cause you to lose the bonus. Going idle does not affect it.

If you do not have a particular gun (i.e. you are not carrying a shotgun) it will not be in the menu. If you do not have any gun, the menu will not appear.

In-game text would read:

*(Aiming the weapon) ''You raise your ''(Aimed weapon)'' to your eye, using the iron sights to aim.''
*(Being attacked while aiming) (In-game text for attack)'', breaking your aim.''
*(Aim being broken by motion) ''Lowering your ''(Aimed weapon)'', you move ''(direction/inside/outside)
*(Aim being broken by another action) ''Lowering your ''(Aimed weapon)'' first, ''(text describing action)
*(Attacked with aimed weapon) ''Aiming carefully, ''(In-game text for attack)

'''Kill Votes'''
#'''Kill/change''' - Your description and putting it in Zombie Hunter skills suggest that it can be used only against zombies. I think you need to clarify it. If it can be used to shoot harmanz I'll vote keep. --{{User:Viktor Suvorov/sigalt}} 13:22, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
