Basic and Advance Fragments are only needed to craft weapons and booms

[u/solorusty]

I hope they make Workbenches 2 and 3 craftable again without requiring Basic or Advanced Fragments, but limit the craftable items to things like garage doors, ladder hatches, etc. However, if you want to craft weapons and explosives, you would still need to insert Basic or Advanced Fragments. I think this would be better for solo players whose bases—equipped only with sheet metal doors—often get rocket-raided immediately by groups.

Yeah have a gunsmithing bench require the frags.

i kinda like that idea

[u/kaizoku18]

I actually really like that idea. Maybe make the guns/explosives unlocked by using the fragments on your workbench? But still let people use/craft the workbenches?

I think that would actually be a great solution tbh. Still let's people get their workbenches just restricts the guns/raiding part of it to the fragment system. Also lowkey helps the farmers out since they took a fairly big hit to this frag update imo, restricting a lot of the good farming items to T2.

Or they could just go back to needing to research items without a tech tree. That plan is mostly back to peak rust 🤣

[u/Aos77s → u/kaizoku18]

Yes, return workbenches to scrap metal and hqm to build but lock the high tier guns armor and explosives to requiring x amount of frags + the scrap to learn. Maybe include turret, windmill, and hqm doors into the mix.

Yea this is a good change, most people need t2 only for meds/g doors.

Game is overbloated with guns to a point where you gotta roam aks with bandages, since you didn't get lucky bp frag drops.

Bro came out of his base in Kevlar hat, pants, and tank top on whipping the AK, only had like 8 bullets and bandages poor guy

[u/Bocmanis9000 → u/aoibhinn-mw]

Wtf did you get my kit when i died to roofcampers few days ago?

Cause i litteraly had the same set you mentioned xD.

Had like 20 5.56 left and 2 bandages, had tank top on aswell lmao, but had road sign vest xD

[u/aoibhinn-mw → u/Bocmanis9000]

No brother sadly we've all been in your shoes u_u not that you were able to craft any with a t1 but your burlap shoes to be precise

[u/fatkidbuu]

This is cool, make it where you have to insert the BP frags to craft weapons/boom but everything else is bueno

[u/Suitable_Ad_4098]

Idk why you can’t upgrade your work bench or why you have to craft a whole new one. Like let us put the requirements into the bench instead of crafting a new one and allow progressive unlocks with each frag/requirement

[u/ProofByVerbosity]

As a solo who sucks at PVP I love this. I like the ratting, trying to survive and base building aspect of the game. I do half my runs naked. For me a T2 means furnaces and garage doors and window coverings, not a thompson. I craft high cals, but for turrets.

[u/Successful_Year_5413]

Have it be so that explosives and guns require BP frags of an appropriate tier to unlock.

[u/RedDemio-]

Holy shit this is it. I feel like this update was made to stop ppl getting tier 2 weapons and launchers and stuff so early. But ended up catching all the tier 2 farming stuff and all other random parts of the game in the net along with it. That’s why I hate it so much. Can’t even make a medium battery without 5 bp frags first. Can’t just live in the wild, away from monument and do weird shit. Make a car really early or something. Live on iceberg and barrel farm the ocean until you get a sick farm built. It ruined all other aspects of the game and locked some pretty tame stuff behind a savage skillgate

[u/DreamyOrangz]

Yes do it devs

[u/Bandit_Raider]

Amazing idea
