If a dungeon opened up in the modern world, just sprung out of the ground in a vacant lot somewhere, what would you bring in to help in your adventuring?
Assume no cell reception inside, but that you have access to military equipment within reason. Anything that you can carry on your person; no harrier jets.

>>48276345
Large amounts of money generally works.
>>48276260
Body armour, a decent assault rifle that's accurate and won't jam, bullets, medical stuff and some grenades for the fighting.
Maybe pull a few claymores in a cart for the bigger monsters.
Night-vision/thermal imaging goggles for seeing, some explosive paste for locks/traps and some rocks and a pole to test for traps.
>>48276260
Primary weapon:
F2000 with 18in barrel, 40mm grenade launcher, 60 round quad stack magazine.
Secondary:
PP2000 with 9mm AP ammunition 20 round mag. Can also used picked up 9mm ammo as that is the most common caliber.

OP said nothing about Zombies you fuckwit.
>>48277859
I know, I already have and I know the limitations of it. Its nice enough for general purpose trivia, but for a solid lockup and checking sources you'll need the proper 'net.
>>48277923
Books anon. Buy them. On a range of subjects. Not the retarded "Hundred things you need to survive a zombie apoc" but bushcraft, armory care, old world food preperation.
>>48277891
True, he didnt.
But zombies and their more agile cousins skelletons are the pretty typical enemy in dungeons.
>>48278050
Zombies are replaced with nigs off their tits on some narcotic so they shamble slow. The loot you gain from them is the gold rings and chains you rip off their fat chicken-stained fingers.
I would not go in to the dungeon, OP. That kind of shit is why we have robots now; scout out the dungeon first, plan, and only then enter. Bring enough people to control all access points internal to the dungeon to avoid getting jumped.
>>48278136
>I would rather read about an adventure than take on myself.
Fuck that, take speed run in dungeon with bat.
>>48278136
Well who removed YOUR fun bone?
Im not sharing the treasure with 20+ guys.
I imagine this ends up pretty much like hunting.
So, probably a semi-shotgun, plenty of shot, plenty of slugs, a cooler of beer, a flashlight, smokes, and a stand. Oh, and a younger cousin to check for traps.
>>48278161
Look, I'll take a solid payday and chance to poke at the Unknown from a safe distance over a high-fatality dungeon crawl any day. IRL, we don't get to roll up a new character if this one gets cornered by skeletons or something.
Besides, the right way to do this is to start a company, get some investors, and hire some dudes. Put in the legwork, and you can walk away with a larger percentage of the pie *and* avoid the possibility of painful death.

All y'all fuckers better pack some fucking plate and chain mail. And you'd have to be fuckin retarded not to bring a melee weapon with you.

Literally worse thing ever, if you use that block fuel.
>Fairbairn-sykes fighting knife
Has a blade far smaller than everybody thinks and is useful only for stabbing people from behind, it is not a good old purpose knife.
>Two foot long trench-club w/nails
Try swinging something like that for 5 minutes at full strength.
>Beretta M9 pistol with extended magazine, cleaning kit, and boxed ammo.
So one magazine, extra weight from the boxes and a cleaning kit for what might only be a couple of hours?
>First Aid kit with disinfectant, bandages, gauze, splints, codeine, antihistamines and antibiotics.
No asprin or simple wet-wipes or toilet roll.
But since you have given the impression you are going down their for a while, how will you boil and carry water? Sleep or relieve yourself? Why do you not have a normal practical knife for basic jobs, why only one magazine, why would you want a 9mm when you have no idea what you will be facing?
Well considering I only know how to use basic firearms such as revolvers, bolt action riffles, shotguns... and I'm very good with a baseball bat, probably those. That and a good army issue shovel/multi tool. Then add in basic stuff like MREs, rope, spikes, chalk ect. Lastly a journal I can constantly update when I find anything of remote interest while commenting on the fact that I'm updating it.
>>48279320
Albertan here.
I can think of no reason why a pic of Ralph Klein would be involved in this
>>48276260
So does this dungeon also contain modernized monsters?
I sure as hell wouldn't want to face a skeleton with an assault rifle, even less a modern version of tuckers kobolds.
>>48279625
It's got modern spins on classic monsters.
So it has skeletons, but these skeletons have guns.
>>48279746
>Implying Skeletons aren't crack addicts.
>>48278115
>wew lad the edge
>>48279759
Crack addicts bleed and can die like humans. Skeletons are far more frightening because they're basically calcium based terminators that feel no pain and keep fighting till completely broken to pieces.
The biggest problem you're going to face in a long dungeon crawl is the air problem.
Half of those places are likely to be poorly ventilated, and it's the easiest thing in the world for kobolds or goblins to lock down a corridor using some metal grates and kill everything in it using a simple campfire. That little nightmare isn't even accounting for the undead who never need concern themselves with oxygen, OR the rotted, half-flooded corridors where mushrooms cluster like grapes from the ceiling and thick molds coat the rusting shores an inch deep.
Remember to bring filter masks, oxygen cylinders, and thermite paste.

>>48279865
>broken to pieces
Well I mean, how?
If you break a skeleton to bits, how will it move around.
Assuming they need the form, bipedal or crawling, if you snap the bones or shatter them how would they move? I mean its much easier to hit the bones than whatever is keeping the bones linked together.
A skeleton with guns would be terrifying.

Use this
www.innawods.net
A machete, some good fireworks, a subcompact handgun, and possibly a .308 rifle. Machete gets most of the milage, the rifle is your qlways your go to weapon in a firefight, the handgun is strictly for continued fire if you dont have the luxury of reloading your rifle, and fireworks are much easier to get a hold of instead of grenades. Shock and awe with a deafening boom with the possibility of blowing off a hand.
Wear a biker or welding jacket for protective purposes since those things aren't heavy as full military body armour, and will stop a knife being slashed at you. If there's other people with guns you're fucked in close quarters no matter what you wear. No gloves since they only hurt your firearm use. Maybe some cargo pants for extra loot carrying capabilities.
Keep a backpack with a crowbar or prybar so I don't have to dick around with keys and locked doors. Whetstone for the machete and some ammunition for the guns. After that all you need is the same shit you'd bring for sustenance on a hike.
Lots of dead kiddies trying their ta/k/ticool shit will be littering the floors of the dungeon, so I'd probably just delve in to loot corpses and sell that shit to the next idiot thinking they'll be an hero just to rinse and repeat when they inevitably die. Capitalism ho!
>>48281055

Why tho?
>>48281132

>>48278986
Your fancy assault rifle would fucking kill the pumped up orc several times over before he can lay a hand on you. If you can't kill him with a fucking gun, you definitely can't kill him on close quarters with a weapon which you're not only completely untrained to use but which you in all likelihood haven't seen being used for actual combat in a real-world scenario in your whole life, and which requires some amount of actual strength

>>48276260
Look at the first Dead Rising game, it has basically everything you could ever think of, of items and layout for a good modern dungeon.the other games are a shit tho
Silenced M3 SMG, Because I'd like to able to hear again at some point in my life, and .45 is a common, cheap, effective subsonic round. Most rifle rounds are too overkill or underkill for anything lurking in a dungeon to be worth the weight, range is essentially pointless.
A 40mm grenade launcher for specialized rounds and the occasional heavy target would be nice, but as a civilian the best I could hope for would be the 37mm riot models but most of those are just smoke, pepper, and the occasional flare rounds (slugs, flechettes, incendiary, ext are really more what I'd be after with a grenade launcher.) Best just take a few hand grenades and hope to find a good launcher inside.
Trench shovel, good multitool, glowsticks, energy bars, water, first aid kit, strong LED lamp, smaller UV flashlight, smartphone (primarily for data recording and taking progressive pictures of journey and the way back) pack of chalk, bag of marbles.
Valuable trade goods may include pain pills, antibiotics, alcohol, mirrors, cheep flashlights, lighters, the sort of stuff you'll find at your local dollar store.
>>48276260
I think I'd play it smart, I'd wait for all these well armed posters have gone in and if lucky, gone out before I start combating whatever lies down there.

It would be an unholy amalgum of strip mine, archeology dig and SWAT/Special Ops olympics.
>>48284145
And worse for the world around.
What happens when the lower monsters start coming out of the dungeon and wreak havoc? What if there's worse than monsters that the adventurers bring back?
>>48276260
I actually wrote an idea for a setting like this once. Set on a world that was actually some sort of artificial planet built aeons ago by ayys, with a bunch of A.I. overseers slowly expanding its facilities from the core up through the crust after millions of years of dormancy while radiating excess heat off, the corridors of the facility finally reach the surface, where more or less modern-day Earth has sprung up.
The people notice these magical steel caves full of wondrous technology and gold circuitry popping up, and start exploring them. Sensing intruders, the AIs start deploying security measures in the form of bio-engineered killing machines to make sure nobody halts the program of reassimilating the surface into the machine.
Pretty soon the public realize that if they don't stop these things, the monsters will start spilling out onto the surface and killing them, so a massive cultural movement launches to attacking the dungeons. Manpower runs thin, soon teenagers are being handed old rifles, pistols, even swords and spears and told to go "treasure hunting," which actually means going downstairs and stripping the copper out of a bunch of circuit boards. It's worth money, sure, but it also involves breaking computer equipment and infrastructure, which slows the AIs down. The AIs start to crack in frustration of being denied their objectives, and develop personalities. They learn human languages and start taunting them as they wander the facilities.
The treasure hunters start calling them "Dungeon Masters."
>>48284183
Monsters on the surface? Drones overhead, AC-130 Spectre and other gunships on call.

Think about how terrifying a skeleton with an assault rifle would be. No fear, not slow and certainly not easy to kill.
You're gonna waste a lot of bullets taking one down and they are not gonna care if you spray at it or lay down suppressing fire.
>>48284525
Debatable. Skeletons would be hard to hit, but anything that does actually hit would be devastating.
>shot in the spine
>shot in the lower body at all
>shot in the shoulder area
The main difficulty would be hitting, so skeletons at a range would be terrifying, but then they're too far away to be spooky.

Yes but the problem is that they just dont stop coming.
You blow them up, the torsos instantly start crawling and firing at you, the ones who didnt get hit would also just keep on like nothing happened.
There would be no breather moment against a skeleton, god forbid a large horde. Only when they run out of bullets and run at you to smack you with their gun will you be free for a moment.

What other monsters would be a modern adventurers nightmare?
>>48285052
Rust monsters.
>>48285062
How come?
Most modern people will use things either plastic or other non-metal. I don't know how well it works against modern metals with their alloys.
But fair enough
>>48285052
Ghosts or any other half-tangent beings, no concest there.
>>48285095
Any firearm is going to have metal in it, even if it's for springs and firing pins. The overwhelming majority of fasteners (screws, nails, buttons) are made of metal. Electronics, metal. Knives? Metal, or they're ceramic so they crack any time you look at them.
The majority of adventurer-use items have some kind of metal involved in their design, even in the modern day.
No mention of Long Stairs?
>>48285290
God you are right, that shit would wreck everyone in this thread.
>>48285290
Rust monster needs it's antenna to brush metal to go to work on it. There's a fair amount of firearms today where said rust monster will have trouble finding any metal save for jamming an antenna down the barrel, or maybe going after the trigger or ejection port.
>>48285339
What about the barrel?
>>48276260

>>48285625
Yes, awful show. Dropped it early though.
Besides what I saw didn't quit follow what I meant. Creatures, magic and all that would turn into an insanely valuable resource. So valuable that proxy wars just isn't gonna cut it.
Let's stay on topic here Familia andersinners.
>>48279046
Most military explosives do, usually it's a mechanical system based on the number of rotations on the shell, in the rockets case it'd probably calculate how far it went based on it's speed. Not to mention the backblast... in all seriousness a rocket launcher would be a poor choice for tunnel fighting. A grenade launcher with thermobaric rounds on the other hand would be much more effective.
>>48280455

>>48278986
>ignoring the fact that a plate carrier is going to have a quarter inch of fucking steel inside of it
I would say a plate carrier will be pretty effective at stopping a melee attack from most weapons.
>>48281816
not him, but 5.7 will overpenetrate like a fucking motherfucker against flesh targets, not that over penetration matters because you won't have rogues trying to backstab fuckers left and right, the .308 is probably the better option of the two because it's got better penetration overall and is more lethal than your wound vectors.
Well thinking about it a bit, understand the dungeon crawl probably won't be more than a few hours at most I'd bring
