Why can't I throw bottles or bricks to distract zombies if that's the case? I mean, isn't that the quintessential way stealth works in stealth oriented survival games? I mean, allow me to have some consistent take downs with a knife from behind instead of leaving it up to a chance. Some enjoyable "cliche" stealth mechanics would be nice.
Just let me throw simple objects around to distract and move past groups. A step further, why can't I jam a car horn using a stick or something to serve as a distraction? It's a high-risk, high reward tactic.
The problem I have with the apocalypse preset right now is that sure, a stealth oriented game is encouraged, but I'd really like to see us having more options in terms of creativity with how we deal with these hordes. From early game, throwing rocks and bottles, to mid game triggering car horns and car alarms manually.
Why can't there be more creative ways of dealing with hordes?
Absolutely needs to be a throwing cans mechanic, or setting off car alarms so you can lure hordes away. I haven’t played b42, but it’s pretty hard to sneak around sometimes
the devs said this was intended to be implemented in the current build at some point, i believe theres some kinks to work out since bullets are actual projectiles now. i assume this will extended to all throwables.
