From the Urban Dead FAQ:
- Q. Can I send you some ideas?
- A. All players are welcome to suggest alterations and additions that they think would improve the game - we can't guarantee that they'll be implemented, but anything submitted to the Suggestions page of the Urban Dead Wiki will certainly be passed on and read, if it passes peer review. --Kevan
This page is for suggestions for new content to add to Urban Dead in the future. You are free to make whatever Suggestions you desire, but you must follow the Suggestions Guidelines when you Suggest them.
Once suggestions reach the end of their voting period they are moved to one of the following peer reviewed pages:
- Peer Reviewed Suggestions - For suggestions with a total of 2/3 or more Keep votes after 2 weeks of voting.
- Undecided Suggestions - For suggestions with less than 2/3, but greater than or equal to 50% of Keep votes after 2 weeks of voting.
- Peer Rejected Suggestions - For all other suggestions after 2 weeks of voting, or those that comply to the 2/3 Spam votes rule.
- Humorous Suggestions - For amusing suggestions that would normally get thrown into Peer Rejected, but are fun to read.
- Previous Days Suggestions - For a history of suggestions - check here first before submitting.
The Suggestion System
Advice before Making a Suggestion
- Read the Suggestions Dos and Do Nots page and the Frequently Suggested Ideas page for guidelines.
- Consider taking it to the Developing Suggestions page first. You will get a feel for how the community views such suggestions and often get some idea for fine tuning your suggestion. This step is recommended.
- Look for your suggestion in the following pages to avoid a duplicate suggestion (Use the Ctrl + F function to search for keywords):
- Repeats of Suggestions under consideration or already considered may be deleted without warning by any user unless there are substantial differences.
- New and sensitive users should be aware that voters will not always treat their ideas kindly. It may be helpful to wait a few days to get a feel for the place and the other users before subjecting your idea to any possible criticism. If you're unsure, the Discussion page is good neutral territory to suggest, gather feedback, and refine your idea before officially submitting it.
- Before submitting your suggestion, read what kind of suggestions are approved, and which rejected.
- If your suggestion is a basic functionality improvement, it will probably be accepted.
- If it makes characters, especially survivors, significantly more powerful, it will almost certainly be rejected.
- Again, read the existing suggestions before you post.
- Reading the Talk page is also highly recommended.
- Each author should not make more than one suggestion per day (i.e. in a 24 hour period beginning at 00:01 GMT). This limit does not include suggestions which the author has removed for the purpose of revision. Suggestions may be revised once per day at most. Suggestions must be removed prior to revisions being posted. Frequent removal of suggestions to avoid having them spaminated is considered abuse of the system. Removal of suggestions in order to post non-revision suggestions the same day is also considered abuse of the system.
- Suggestions created entirely for the purpose of satire, insult, or comedy are to be re-categorised into the humourous suggestions category. If you post a joke suggestion please put it on the Humorous category yourself.
Peer Reviewed Suggestions
Peer Reviewed Suggestions are not guaranteed to be implemented into the game. Suggestions that are Peer Reviewed are simply suggestions considered good and worthy by the wiki population, and being moved to that page places no onus on Kevan to implement them.

Making a Suggestion
If this is your first time making a suggestion, consider taking it to the Developing Suggestions page before starting in on the voting process as described below. The friendly people there can help you avoid formating errors and will let you know if the suggestion stands a decent chance of passing a vote, has glaring problems, or (good or bad) has been made and voted on already in the past. You may also find it useful to have a look at this Sample Suggestion to let you see what you need to put into your suggestion when you make it.

Suggestion description
Please read the whole thing before running down and sending kill or dupe vote due "bad idea."
Grenade launcher would be new weapon, found only in Fort armories, due it being heavy weaponary. It would have 5% hit chance without skills, with first skill it rises to 15% and with second 35%, meaning it will not be very reliable even with maxed skills. It also weights 12% encumbrance and its ammo, grenades (you didn't see that coming did you?) will weight 4% each. Clip is one (1) grenade.
With those downsides you would think this would get high damage. Nope, sorry. it would deal 6 or 7 damage, making it weaker than shotgun but bit stronger than pistol, and it wouldn't be affected by flak jackets. So you have bad weapon with bad type of ammo and bad place to search it (two in whole game!). Why would anyone want to take it with them?
Answer is easy. Grenade Launcher would be first weapon to do AREA damage. while shooting it to enemy, up to four random characters (not the user) would receive 3 damage due grenade exploding. So in best case, you will deal 6+3+3+3+3= 18 damage with one shot. Shotgun deal 10 damage, 8 if foe has flak or flesh rot, meaning grenade launcher can do highest damage in game with one shot. It equals to flare if there is 4 foes in square.
This would cause loads of kill votes due it's PKing value, but I have solution into this. Simple as this, you can't fire why Grenade launcher indoors. Trying to do so would give user message "It is too dangerous to use that here." Why is it too dangerous? Well, grenade could bounce back at user in closed space, so it is no-no to use it indoors.
TL;DR: New weapon that deals area damage, found in fort armories with 4% chance, Grenades in same place with 4% chance. Does 6 damage +3 splash damage up to 4 random fellas in the square. Can't be fired indoors.
