[ZS] January 2015 Community Item Creation Contest (aka GearJam!)

We had tons of fun with the item concept contest back in September, so this month we’re doing another one!

Submit your your neat ideas for equippable game items in this thread, using the format provided. We’ll select a shortlist of fun and exciting concepts, then the community (you) will vote on your favorites!

The most popular concept will be released into the game as a powerful new item! The player with the winning submission will have the final result awarded to their inventory, as well as a bonus package of 50 UN Credits!

NAME: Anvil Ax
TYPE: Weapon
DESCRIPTION: A super heavy mid-evil ax. The extra weight of an anvil attached to the head dealing lethal blows with a single swing. Not good for long fights so the weapon should be high attack and low defense as dragging it around may end up getting you killed

 

NAME: Scepter Of Hope
TYPE: Weapon
DESCRIPTION: An archaic looking scepter, with purple, black, and red tones. At the main end of the scepter would be an orb with magical floating rings around it, which emit sparkles, and star dust. It gives off the impression when gazing at the orb that one is safe, granting one comfort in the abysmal world that surrounds them. The scepter summons forth a wall of energy to protect the user affording abnormally high defense. It isn't much for head on attacks though, as it is a blunt object, resulting in minuscule attack damage. For added aesthetics, the scepter could also have a little piece of zombie flesh stuck to one of the rings.

 

Name: Annihilation Black Kamaz
Type: Vehicle
Description: Powerful truck to kill zombies. Bumper Ladle has high attack and weak protection of wheels.

NAME: Flailing Balls That Sting (Erm...I'm open to suggestions on this )
