I haven't played this game much, but I haven't noticed any explosives in it. Some kind of grenades or place charges should be implemented. I don't think it should be used as some kind of uber zombie-slaying weapon though. I think only really close targets should be killed,and the outer blast should blow back zombies. And possibly blow off limbs.

The main function would just be to blow back mobs of zombies. This would then allow you to dash by easily. When I say dash, I mean that sprinting fast should take up stamina and allow you to run.

I think there should be a stamina bar thatdoesn't go down while running at the current run speed, but goes down when you sprint and possibly when you jump. When you run out of stamina you are reduced to a walking pace, so that people won't abuse it and will be required to catch their breath beforing sprinting again.

I think one of the devs already stated that some kind of explosives is going to be implemented in one of the future patches. However the "when" and "what" is still unknown (at least to the public).
As for the stamina bar: The main use for stamina bars in games is to prevent people from jumping constantly and thereby making other people miss more often. BB, however, is not PvP orientated, so including such a function doesn't make much sense.

There are already explosives in this mod, they happen to be called multi function grenades. Go play some custom maps, because they are not in any offical maps. Also, grenades do very little damage, a flamethrower is far more effective against a mob of zombies.

Dashing/sprinting should not be implemented, mainly because I see no reason that high level players need to go any faster (with 24 points in speed you can outrun some player zombies).

Since bunny hopping also does not have much of an effect except against some bad player zombies, both reasons to implement stamina don't hold water...

The multi function grenades are a leftover from PE and not official content of BB. This is why they are so weak compared to other weapons.

My suggestion of a stamina system is only as a means of limiting your speed. I think you should be able to give yourself a boost of speed br spritning.

The stamina keeps it in check so you don't abuse it. But no one else seems to like the idea of stamina. So I guess the sprinintg idea is out.

its not that it isnt a good idea, but it just wouldnt work smile.gif besides the sprinting system would need so much tweaking it would take up alot of time that we can spend on other things.

If you need to go "mo' fasta", then put skill points into speed. No need for a complex(or even simple for that matter) sprinting system at all.
