Necrotech Enhanced Bullets

Timestamp: 10:33, 14 July 2011
Type: Weapon/Survivor Skill
Scope: Survivors
Description: It is incredibly unfair that only zombies get a damage-over-time attack. Survivors should have one too. I propose that a new item enabling one to coat their weapon in a substance that does damage-over-time to zombies, weakening them to the point of death but not actually killing them since this would actually benefit zombies. These would come from Necrotech Buildings and be single-use and the substance wears off after striking a zombie once. It would also be at the bottom of the Necrotech Skill tree, requiring that one pick up all of the skills down to Necronet Access before one can obtain and use the item.

Discussion (Necrotech Enhanced Bullets)

The idea is cute, and probably not even a dupe too. Though I think it's too overpowered. At the very least you should come up with a way how zombies can cure themselves from the effect, like survivors can with a FAK. -- Cat Pic.png Thadeous Oakley Talk 10:36, 14 July 2011 (BST)

Oldest DS dupe in the history of mankind. Usually the zombie comes back as a human. Unsurprisingly, it's almost always yeled down on this page, and from what I can see, this would be more OP than some of the others.--Yonnua Koponen T G P ^^^ 13:00, 14 July 2011 (BST)
Oh, well, it's pretty obvious I almost never visit developing suggestions, forgive my lack of knowledge. -- Cat Pic.png Thadeous Oakley Talk 14:32, 14 July 2011 (BST)
MEh, not visiting DS is a pretty healthy choice imo. Also, I didn't mean to be responding to your comment, and in retrospect, it does look a bit like I was attacking you. :P sorry about that.--Yonnua Koponen T G P ^^^ 14:35, 14 July 2011 (BST)
Didn't took it like that, so no worries. As for not visiting DS, it's mainly because, like most fan-suggestions for any kind of game, you're wasting so much time on something that doesn't go through 99.99% of the time. I can see why people are drawn towards it, but seriously, even the genuine good suggestions that go beyond a simple modification never make the cut. -- Cat Pic.png Thadeous Oakley Talk 15:18, 14 July 2011 (BST)

Survivors have lots of skills that zombies don't have, so giving them a pseudo-infection skill isn't evening anything up -- boxy 03:54, 15 July 2011 (BST)

Overpowered and totally illogical. Also good solution to that disgusting spam on the page boxy..        04:01, 15 July 2011 (BST)
