Improvised Weapons & Armor

This Mod was created to bring more variety in the weapons you're able to craft in game, offering a mix of both wooden and metal weapons to survivors. The mod also adds some interesting skill mechanics around crafting these new weapons. The crafts will depend on a variety of skills and materials keeping things as realistic and lore friendly as possible, but be careful not to injure yourself...

"What have we got...?"

iwaweapons.webp

Here's an overview of what you might find or craft. A mixture of blade and bat styles, light and heavy styles, disposable or durable. We've tried to add a nice blend across the board allowing people to vary their play style with exactly what they want.

These weapons have also been added to certain Z's... including stuck in them!

Be wary when crafting these... to add another layer of immersion and challenge, crafting the weapons with low skills or without the appropriate protective clothing, such as gloves, may result in injuries...

What is there to... "enjoy"?

Wooden Baton Plated Baton Metal Spear

Here's a closer look at some of the weapons, from the quick swinging but fast breaking Wooden Batons, through to large, durable and deadly metal spears. Whatever you're preferred method of dealing death is, we've got you covered.

"Something new to wear..."

Platedvest

Protecting yourself in Kentucky is essential... However, more "protective" style clothing can be a little limited in it's availability outside of finding military checkpoints etc...

Shown above is the Leather Plated vest thast will offer the user some good scratch defence and some bullet defence (for those people enjoying PvP servers). Unfortunately, due to the exposed Neck and Shoulder areas, it can't be counted on against bites very much. However, it can be crafted and found on various Z's and so offers something in the way of protection in the early game, finally taking advantage of all those leather jackets full of holes!

"Ones to look out for..."

Kyrsurvz

[KYR] Survivor Z

Everyone loves a special Z to look out for...

Here you can see the "Special Z's" that we've added just to make hunting a little more interesting, these chaps only spawn in certain areas. 

With the possibility of being loaded with pretty special loot, the [KYR] Survivor Z's are worth keeping an eye out for... although no spoilers on where they'll be, or what they might be carrying...
