Today I added the claymore as a weapon for humans. It is included in the random weapon drop. They are L2A2 grenades, which will turn into a claymore when they hit the wall/floor/ceiling. When a human shoots a claymore it will explode. Claymores don't explode whenever a zombie touches them because I think it's more fun if they can only explode when they are shot.
Please let me know what you think. Are the claymores not powerful enough, should the damage or impact radius be increased?

Cool thing but as I was playing with it, it wasn't quite useful and fun to have it. I would rather have the M67 grenade. A Claymore looks differently and they explode whenever something crosses the red laser lines, so I don't know if you can call this a real claymore.  |

Hm, it´s cool but hard to see them sometimes. Next to that it's hard to explode them with shotty, it took 4 bullets before it finally exploded.

@ Mario: Yeah they are quite small and therefore hard to hit. Remember you can't be exploded by the claymore, so you can shoot it from short range. Or if you get a sniper (or even better, RPG, MM1, M4) they are easier to hit.
I'm sure the claymore will be prove to be more powerful when players know how to use them properly. Let's just wait a few days until players familiarize with them, then we can make some tweaks.

Best weapons would be sniper, ak or m4. By the way, is anyone able to shoot the claymore or will it explode only if the person who dropped it shoots at it?

Good job max ! but is it possible to add the claymore for the best zombie killer of the last round ? It would be nice to add something for the best zombie killer. |

@ Carl: Anyone can shoot the claymore, but the kills will count for the player who dropped the claymore.
@ Virtus: We could do that as well, and make them more powerful. But again the problem is that you could annoy the first zombie with them, so that's why I like them as a weapon drop.

Increase the dmg radius though, so you don't have to wait to shoot until zombies are practically standing 1 meter away from you. As it is now you're putting yourself in a big risk.

I guess you're right, let's wait for others to comment on it. Current damage is 200 and radius is 300, what about increasing radius to 500? |

I love Claymores. I think the best weapons to detonate them are USAS, M60, MM1 and RPG. I like to throw it waaaay infront of me, so if bunch of zombies chase me, they gonna taste it lol. Increased radius would be cool yea. Though it's a bit annoying, when other people detonate your mines when no zombies around. |

Max, will it kill yourself if your to close to it? Or will it have a grenade effect of hide&seek and doesn't effect your hitpoints.

Indeed, you can't die by your own claymore (neither can other humans).
Glad you like the claymores!

Claymores are great , but nearly impossible to hit with shotgun.
The only thing I dont like now is that if you rape a zombie someone else takes your weapon before you can even try to pick it up , is it possible that the first 3/5 seconds only the human who killed the zombie can pick up the weapon? and later everyone?

Imo that's not a big deal... sometimes your weapon gets stolen, and the next time you steal it back etc etc It goes in circles, everyone steals from everyone. |
