Air drops have some great loot, rare books being one I will always go after.

I buffed air drop loot a bit:

+Changed: Air drops have a reduced chance to drop food so there is a higher chance to drop armor, weapons, medicine and rare books.

 
Just wait till you...eventually , possibly!...go to run down that loot crate and there is a small group of bandits already there!

Went after an air drop, lost my life and all my loot to a group of bandits. 10/10

Well thats all I meant! And rare books are def gonna be a good reason to go for them.

 
Those c charges do they

...explode after a set period of time?

...allow you to set the timer?

...allow you to use a remote detonator?

 
I was 50 and fell flat on the concrete trying to learn how to ride one of those stupid surfboards with wheels (forgot what it was called).

I think you meant long board. Love long boarding!

 
Better late than never...

In the first A18 video I just realized that there is a new POI (restaurant look like) called "Berserk Bills". Fabulous

Nice. What would also be cool is different color smoke to denote what type is in the drop, but since the list isn't generated until it's opened I don't see it happening.

My server had that as a mod and it was awesome. Technically difficult for stompy to code if I recall though... Something something getting the height of the ground it'll land on something chunk observer...

But it was cool as frack.

It's a first for me to see someone answering there own post. lol

 
Can Trivia:

Wasn't until 1995 that all cans in the US had to be lead free.

"Tin Can" came from most early cans being made from tin plated steel (still quite common).

Acidic foods in tin plated cans can disolve enough tin to make you sick.

- (unlikely now a days due to different interior linings)

Older folks know that if you ever open a can and there's an escape of gas, don't eat it!

Reason for the gas pressure is that the contents have/had microbes that multiplied, tainting the contents, possibly to a leathal level.

Also why "dented cans" used to be sold at a discount. The dented can were more likely to have a compromised seam, leading to microbial contamination.

As far as making/crafting a can for oil. Would be fairly trivial. Thin sheet metal & lead would do. A chunk of anything with a bit of point for a heat source to solder with; like a large bolt, or a wrench, heated in a camp fire would suffice for a soldering iron. The ridges in modern cans allow a thinner walled can to be 'tougher', less likely to dent/crush.

Sorry, was a bit bored, heh :)

--Edit: forgot I had something on topic to say, doh!

For a Stealth build on Horde Night: maybe a chance to land their Hidden Strike crit damage? Even though alll the Zs already know [Edit2: do to Mechanimal correcting "their" for "they're". Thanks Mech! :) ] they're there?

May not even need to be crouched. Just a ramped up percentage chance to land a 2-3x crit hit.

Might make it farily straightforward to balance vs. other builds?

Mod which shall not be named has this and has had it for a while now, only we use zombies. Wookie got it to where you get close to the box and it spawns a horde. Move too far away another horde spawns so you have to stay close and fight for it. Of course the loot has to be worth the effort . Special bonus to wookie for being able to attach gamestages to the box and its spawns as well.

 
Now that we have c4 all i can hope for now is more stuff for fire, like a napalm bomb, flamethrower, hell even hairspray and a lighter lol.

Question, will you guys ever make it so you can light wooden buildings on fire to burn down? Would be fun to play as a pyro one day and just light ♥♥♥♥ on fire lol, screamer central for that playthrough
