With the February update, Facepunch released the Artist DLC Pack which, among other things, added Paintball guns. These guns do variable damage to players based on whether they're wearing the "Paintball Overalls" (part of the pack) or not. What's more is the damage these guns apply to non-overall'd players versus overall'd players can be controlled via convar:
This presents a really interesting PvE opportunity; `paintballstandarddamage` set to 0, but `paintballoverallsdamage` set to whatever the normal value is, allowing these guns to do no damage to other players unless those players are also wearing the paintball overalls. You can see what it looks like in this video
IMO, this offers a rich opportunity for players to host their own events in game. Imagine different arenas folks can make, where after 2 weeks into a wipe and not much is left to do (speaking as a Pure player, can't speak to the modded experiences), they can battle it out to see who's the best (or the best at taking paintballs...) at no risk to their normal gear as they need to wear the overalls. Bases can potentially have more going on with them now, so those roadside "recovery houses" could offer a little arena out the back to pass the time until the sun rises.
What do people think?
