Shooting exploding arrows and you think its not competitive with guns? Its also completely stealthy and requires literally no effort to make ammo for. I'd say its plenty balanced. Do you have horde stopping power like an M60? No, but given the context of use and cost of ammo I'd say its balanced and does its job.

Madmole, really got a simple question for you, maybe it's already possible with modding the xml...can the effects of the feral hordes be removed from xml? I mean, no more red sky/fog, no more lightning sounds, etc...
Or maybe make an option for it? I kinda want those feral hordes to feel like they are just roaming hordes that somehow detected me and come for me.
Idk, or have an option for roaming hordes size and frequency, that would be better I guess, don't know if this was requested or not.

On roaming hordes, can can edit which zombies or animals are in the horde and you can say how many zombies in the horde but you cannot adjust frequency. The wandering horde settings are midway down the gamestages xml file. I would love to be able to set the number hordes per day....either you can’t or if you can, I’d love to hear how.
@madmole: Is there any reason in your lore that needs for there to be a horde-night? How about a Horde-day (as in a 24hr event)?
Plus you could have sets of waves to come at varying times throughout a wider time range, instead of what it is now.
Basically, as it relates to the driving away from hordes.. how long could people really drive if the horde was a 24 hr event, instead of a few hours?
*Not saying there needs to be waves every hour for every hour of the day or anything (although later high gamestage people
), but you could have a few waves here, then a couple hours later another few waves sets, and so on..*
I mean sure, some people could get enough fuel stockpiled to last for part of 24hrs but a whole day? Plus all the wear and tear that the vehicle would build up
(Just thoughts)

Well, I did think the pistol drop rate was too high, to the point that searching all toilets became obligatory instead of funny. But like I said, you're going to lose some of the game's flavor of finding certain things in certain places.
I still shake my head that all loot bags are either 'generic good loot' or 'generic better loot' now, whereas before you would prioritize nurses if you needed medicine, cops had pistols and shotguns while old timers preferred hunting rifles, and so on. Strippers with exactly 2 units of plastic... flowers in a coffin... You may say "nightmare to maintain"; I say "using the loot table to tell a story."

Not a bad idea. It could give you a little break in the middle to re-think your strategy. The downside is that hordes will not be as intense as they are now.@madmole: Is there any reason in your lore that needs for there to be a horde-night?

Well, there are options to edit in spawning.xml (or Idk how the file it's called), in which you got options to edit hordes, including the night hordes...but...a menu option would be simpler, and yes, I am really good at modding xml, I do this for years, still, I wish I can have a menu option to set roaming/wandering horde frequency and size.
Maybe I don't want to modify the file, maybe I want to leave it original and have a menu option, but then again, I'll wait for Madmole's response.

Yeah it is not 100% safe and if one cast of the cvar fails it will not work, but as long as there is a clear indication to the player they have the set effect then they can re-equip again to get it if they lost it. Sure not good enough for the actual game, but I am sure the trigger onequip could be made more robust that it can check sometime or change it to something that keeps doing its thing as long as it remains equipped. I am sure you guys will code in a better solution when you do set items.
