Home Depot Battle Royale
 

Found an old 2+2 thread I thought was worth another look.

So you are chosen to compete against 9 other people. All ten of you are locked in a standard Home Depot, that is dark except the emergency lights above the exits. The goal is to kill one another to become the last man standing, last person alive gets to leave.

You are allowed to choose 3 pieces of equipment to aid you. Anything with a bar-code counts as one piece of equipment, for example, if you choose a nail gun, then a container of nails will be needed, so that would equal two pieces of equipment. You can use only the equipment you choose, no scalping from dead guys.

What three weapons would you choose, and what would be your strategy?

Re: Home Depot Battle Royale
 

I'd go after all the equipment they use to run the store like the fork lift because this equipment does not have a bar code and does not count against my item count. I'd then get a combo pack that comes with a nail guns, hose, and compressor because that only counts as one item. 2nd item would be 3 1/4 inch nails and I'm pretty good at firning them off. 3rd Item would be a sheet of that metal roofing to use as a shield on the fork lift.

Re: Home Depot Battle Royale
 

Can't use items with no bar code, FD!

... unless you make one of your items a sharpie so you could draw bar codes on the forklift.

Home Depot (in PA) doesn't sell gas anyway.

I'll run the mower on acid. :D

yea I liked the idea but against the rules.

I would make better use of the things you don't need to have as an item. Hiding in a large chest freezer with a small hatchet and waiting for someone to pass would be a good'n.

Re: Home Depot Battle Royale
 

I think this is within the rules: use the building infrastructure?

- hand axe
- PVC boots
- PVC gloves

I want to bust a couple of the water delivery mains with the axe to flood the place, open up some electrical conduit (again with the axe), and drop the live wires onto the water-covered floor while wearing the boots and gloves. Having electrified the floors and fixtures, I should be able to kill people with the axe at my leisure.

Re: Home Depot Battle Royale
 

My new plan is:

3.5 Gallons Liquid Nails


6.5lbs Log Splitter


1000 Lumens Flashlight


Set a sticky trap, blind with light as they pause, and hack to pieces.

Re: Home Depot Battle Royale
 

my god i'd pay a lot to see a well thought-out movie based on all this. or maybe like a reality tv show....

hmm...

first episode: you get to know the players and their backgrounds.

second episode: you get to take a tour of the home depot, it's intricacies, possible choke points and/or camping spots, etc. interviews with players and their thoughts on the layout. maybe a preview of possible weapons.

third episode: weapons. various experts (people working in different types of fields) explain their favorite loadouts, and how they could defeat the other experts' loadouts. maybe a brief strategy session with some of the players. or maybe even better, each of the playerss get to pick an expert to help them.

fourth episode: weapon draft. in this reality tv version, players also get a fourth pick: where they'd like to start the game. last segment of this show has graphics on each player's weapons, and where they start on a giant home depot board. teasers for the next 2 weeks' worth of action.

fifth episode: action. players get eliminated down to 5 from the original 10.

final episode: action. champion is crowned and given a 3-minute home depot shopping spree, bringing back the days where kids like me dreamed of pillaging toys 'r us.

it could work.

and oh yeah, Gus Johnson calls the action.

Also, this game should be how green cards are awarded

Re: Home Depot Battle Royale
 

a 2x4, and amercian flag w/ a pole, and maybe a folding chair for good measure, hooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

A fire extinguisher and a ball peen hammer.
While you are reeling from an extinguisher shot to the face I spill your gray matter with the hammer.
