Lost survivors - search for a weapon?

[guerra]

Hi all!

On the description of the lost survivors on the kickstarter there is this description:

"Killing a Lost not only grants you 1 Experience Point, but you also get to loot his corpse and take any weapon you'd like from the Equipment deck!"

I want to know what do you think about it? Do you think that it can unbalance the game? Any alternative?

One thought: I think that the A-Bomb can help to balance that, because it can only be killed by molotov or similar things. So you can't find a weapon that helps you with it (maybe the flamethrower, but you still need the gasoline).

Let me know your opinion!

I'm less concerned about unbalance than I am about analysis paralysis. I'll probably house-rule that you draw 5 cards, keep any 1 weapon, and discard the rest.

My problem with this is when you discard an important card, that is not a weapon, in the process, such as a gasoline or a bottle. That is one reason why I hate the police cars! You can always through away one of these! With the A-Bomb, they will be more important than ever!

A possibility is to use pimp weapons, but we are going to already have the vip zombies that are going to give that.

Maybe just a free search action, ignoring "Aaah!", can be appropriate...
