New dynamic, trading, new meds

Discussion

You should be able to interact with other outlanders outside of shooting them or leaving then be.

If you encounter an outlander, you should be able say hi, they could respond in a way that would bring up a trading/interaction menu. Like a 10 second pause of no guns/gun fight.

In this menu you could gift resources, trade them, offer to heal/be healed.

Along with this, new meds should be introduced; syringes. They can be given to other players. They could have different effects, run faster, more stamina, quiet steps, longer sniper hold breath, increase health, yada yada yada, but the best one would be a poison.

So, say you trade up with a random outlander, you give him 20 fertilizer and he says he'll give you a syringe booster. Could be more speed, take less damage, or the best you get poisoned and asshole takes your shit!

They will probably implement something similar to this. Butbit probably wont be in encounters. Maybe you invite somebody to your shelter to trade

I would like to at least be able to drop what i have in my loadout. Seems dumb the only way to drop something is to destroy it. Guess they are forcing everyone to loot by having it this way though.

Or one of the encounter outcomes could be a stick up?

I hope that they don't implement something like this. The best thing about this game is the fairness of it. Shooting a guy that has 50% damage reduction or anything of the sort and being killed by him, that would feel like you didn't have a possibility against him in the first place. Same for the stamina and boosts that give an advantage over the other players, imagine yourself chasing someone that is carrying two crates but, he is running 35% faster than you, that would be awful. I love how there is an equal chance for everyone in this game. Sometimes you can even make it out of a bad situation if you play smart. The player doesn't rely on getting boosts to be better than others. You rely on your tactic, cautiousness, and your efficiency within your surroundings. There is no such thing like OP players with extra health, damage, movement speed, etc. Only players that play more efficiently than others. That's the beauty of it. While it's true that some bugs ruin the gameplay and even the match if they occur, the mechanics are solid and shall not be confused as a lack in the game. Being able to trade stuff with your partner would be awesome, though. Or at least being able to drop items for him so he can pick them up. Exchanging with enemies will eliminate the tactics, stealth, and cautiousness that you rely on most of the time.

I agree, I don't want a bunch of people hyped up out there, but ideally there would be a balance between usefulness of the potential boost/risk of poison.

Also, my conception of these boosts, you could only receive then from another outlander. So, you would get a boost and the other player would as well. Or maybe you interest then with poison, or a KO med, they end up back at their shelter.

You should be able to drop things from your inventory to your partner or just in general

The trading sounds like it really wouldn’t fit the game. You already have a limited time as is, why stop and open a menu with someone just to trade items you can find on your own or just take from them. It just wouldn’t be used. As for syringe boosts, that is a very easy way to unbalance the game and I hope they never add them.

I get it. I just feel like in post nuclear war wasteland, there would be more interaction with others outside "Hey" or face blasting with whatever gun you had on hand.
