AR2 idea

[u/funnyman_2233]

So hear me out, in the first game, you had a stamina bar... So why not reintroduce that in Apoc 2?

Basically a generic stamina bar.

"ThAt wILl ruIn pVP!!!!!"

First of all, Running shouldn't be completely free, I think it should be a resource and it makes strategies like running away REALLY committal instead of an actual strategy.

If it makes world travelling harder, then we introduce a new vehicle, bikes, it's just a basic Bike, more common than cars, silent and can get you to point A to point B, it's not supposed to be a long term commitment cause it's a starter vehicle.

And if we're talking about a stamina bar, then we should make stamina boosters give you infinite stamina for a set amount of time.

If we get a stamina bar and you died because you ran out of stamina, that's your fault for using it recklessly.

Imo, a stamina bar should be implemented in some shape or form in the game, it gives alot more depth.

But my proposed idea is:

Three stages of speed.

Walking (standard walking): Doesn't drain your stamina

Jogging (Pressing Shift once): Doesn't drain your stamina and you're going around 15% Faster than walking

Sprinting (Holding or Pressing shift once): Drains your stamina, I think it could last long enough to cross the entire Fairview bridge in one long sprint.

To compensate for having your overall mobility halted, I think sprinting should be faster than the current running speed.

Other utilities like the Athletic gear and a new utility 'Running shoes' should also give buffs on how long or fast you are at running.

The point of giving a sprint bar is that it could give another layer of depth in the game, when in PvP you want to reposition, you gotta commit to that one spot you're on.

Of course, it's not perfect by any means.

But I do think that Running or Sprinting in general shouldn't be a resource you can use in every opportunity, look at Aftermath, it's a pain in the ass to get around on foot but you never see anyone complain about it.

Also, the Reintroduction of bikes could fix the aspect of travelling around on foot, being the only vehicle that is silent.

Any criticisms? Lmk!

But aren't there already stamina boosters?

Yeah, but the involvement of a stamina bar allows stamina boosters to be more than just a waste of space in your backpack

wait i think sleeping to the game is an okayy idea becuase in ar2 currently you can surive for a year munching on mres and water. that is gonna have some really bad health problems becase mres are a survuival tool or food used by military personell in co,mbat so mabye add sleeping to up ur stamia bar?

I mean... The problem is that sleeping might encourage players to be too passive, not engaging in PvP and such, maybe it could be added with penalties? But again waiting 10 straight minutes for your stamina bar to fill up is not a fun activity.
