Focus Thread: PvP / Meta

​

Hey Zombies!

This thread is primarily geared to all the veterans out there, but I want to address the current gun / PvP meta here. I've heard a lot of complaints regarding both camping as well as the spray meta, and some ideas here will be to fix those, and some will be just fun new things that could be implemented

Gun Changes

• LMGs could easily be implemented as another gun, but the balancing would be a bit tricky to not just give all power to the spray meta. We could use something along the lines of FPSHG LMGs to start just to see what happens, but what would you guys like to see?
• Should spray guns (namely the uzi) be nerfed? Spray meta is extremely overpowered at the moment

New Items - Fortnite Version

• Campfire that heals the radius of players (increases camping meta, not sure if this is what we want)
• Launch pads (would not be usable in combat or if you're tracking, just thought it'd be an easy thing to travel with)
• Zap trap - stuns players with the invisible lightning creeper effect
• Ziplines
• Slurp juice esqe item - would supply the player with slow regen instead of instant health
• Stun grenade - gives you slowness and nausea

Other New Items

• More meelee weapons - add more melee tiers and possibly abilities to help with mobs
• Spawnable NPC clone, spawn a trackable clone of yourself that would be alive for x seconds to possibly confuse someone in a fight
• Flare gun - a one time use item that shoots a flare to attract zombies away
• Syringe - Essentially a stimpack, would give you speed for x time, or until you're hit by something
• Flint-lock pistol - A simple pistol with very slow fire rate but would give you huge amounts of knockback - would primarily be used for movement

Item Changes

• Tents - would you want to see tents modified / tiered / customizable? Feel like there's some potential with tents that's untouched
• Golden Heads - Really not trying to go back to the old Gapples, but golden heads right now feel almost pointless outside of neglecting fall damage for the most part. What do you think could be done with these?
• Grapples - they've been a hotly debated topic forever, do we actually want multiuse brought back? What should be done with them - I personally think they're in a perfect spot right now

Misc Changes

• Implement a /tpdeny command, as well as implementing the ability to add a /tpyes [player] command
• Implement token bounties on players
• Have an elo decaying system to try and keep elo constantly changing
• Have Team ELO be done to try and encourage some long term teams

I just want to reiterate - all of these ideas here are purely suggestions and none of them are concrete at all. Feel free to give any feedback / ideas that you'd like!

Thanks
