Suggestion about opening tin cans without tools.

[the_governor 16]

Hello!
As I always struggle to find something to open my first tin can in dayz, and I saw this video, I wanted to show it to the community, because I think this should be added to game (In some way). The thing is, you can open tin cans without any tools or knives, only your bare hands. I got a video that explains it.
Now, if this would be added into the game, I'd see it as an option when you're in the forest or just spawned, and you need food. Got cans, but no openers, so you simply start doing what's in the video, preferably for like 3 minutes, so it would be logical, you can't do it in 10 seconds. You keep doing what you're doing, until you get it open, but ofcource, a lot will be spilled down to the ground. So you'd get like 50% of the food maximum. IT wouldn't be very efficient way, but would save you from hunger, in my opinion. I hope this gets added into the game, because finding starting food is hard, atleast for me, if not for all of us.

The other way would be with a rock or a brick and I got a nice video of that too.
 
Thank you for your time, please respond to this topic, I need to know if it has already been discussed, I didn't find any other topics like this. Thank you! - Fuze.

 

Here's the video: SKIP TO 5:38!

 

 

Also another way to open tin cans, but with a rock or a brick:

I only watched the second video because it was shorter. For those who didn't watch it, apparently you can open tin cans by rubbing the top of the can on concrete.

 

As much as I like this I can't really see it being implemented. For starters, who even knew this was possible? I certainly didn't, so you can assume the survivors we play as don't know since they probably don't have access to YouTube.

 

Second, it'd make opening tin cans too easy. Part of the challenge for me is finding a screwdriver or a knife or something until I can find a proper tin opener. Unless I'm out in the wilderness I'm never going to have a problem opening a can.

 

The only way I can see this being included in the game is if it takes a long time to do, making the player vulnerable.

Yep, that's what I'm trying to say. It would do the job, but with lots of time and mess.

I want to say no to this idea, mainly because it would defeat the purpose of/devalue certain loot. It's the challenges such as getting that one can of beans open that make this game's survival aspects so great.

 

For topic's sake, the only way I would want to see this implemented is if it were extremely time consuming, & gave you no more than maybe 25% of the food max. This way, this method would really only be valuable if you're starving & you simply NEED something in your stomach just to go the extra mile until you actually do find a can opener. It should be last resort & do more harm than good, & should really only be an act of desperation.

i can't help but wonder, in the time it takes to wear a can down to open it, how many buildings would i have searched for a tool of some kind to open the can?

What survivors? All of the people who knew nothing would be dead at this point! If your starving, your going to get that tin can opened no matter what! Get a rock for Pete's sake! This is supposed to be realistic, make it as realistic as possible!
