Rad Storms concept

Rad storms (Radiation storms) would be an awesome concept if added into U2, like if they were random and had a short notice with like a weather icon showing what the weather is going to be or what it currently is.

What would happen in a rad storm?

  • Zombies would become more violent
  • Crops if left outside would spoil and would not consumable
  • If you don’t have the right clothing (Radsuits) You would get radiation poisoning
  • You would feel sick, unable to run, eat, and other stuff
  • Blurred vision if in the storm for too long
  • Zombies would spawn more and hopefully roam around (If this is added into the game)

This would be pretty cool, maybe the storms could only occur in hard mode?

Weird thing to add in my opinion but I think that other people might like that idea
If it is going to be added it nedds to be hard mode only or toggleable in the map options

Stalkers! An emmision will strike any moment now! Get to cover immediately!

Or just less frequent or maybe add an option to change certain things that occur in them.

An interesting concept. I can connect this to Fallout 4’s radstorms a little, but these make more sense biologically. I have a feeling, should this be implemented, it should be changed in advanced settings and individual effects can be changed/toggled if you want these on easier difficulties. I love the details you inputed for the player getting sick because that makes sense, it’s normal for someone to get sick from too much rads. :nauseated_face:

Also if we are on the topic of storms, what about small tornados that would go through the rural parts of the map, avoiding towns/cities, ripping the leaves off trees, maybe damaging/destroying wooden player made buildings?

Just have them only occur in certain areas that are hard, instead of removing them on lower difficulties. You shouldn’t be able to die from a rad storm in a starting city. If you really want them to be easier on lower difficulties just make them do less damage/radiation sickness.

Last time someone suggested natural disasters, a tornado of forum regulars came through and destroyed everything.

Among them you I recall

What does ye mean.

Maybe if the rads bar reaches 0 and if youre without the right equipment you start to lose health and mutate into a zombie

What would be the point of making bases if the storm will come

to stay safe?
this is a joke right?

You never mentioned that the storm will not go inside the houses and that they’re the safe spot

true
could combat this by tarps or having different materials to protect bases like metal and brick

lit :slight_smile: love you bb
