G17 and PDW far out class any other secondary in this game now. Both can take a lot of different magazines so ammo in plentiful, G17 is very quiet to zombies as well. Just take controlled shots with the G17 and you'll be fine 1911 is no better than the Makarov now, M9SD is terrible as well, it's practically a pea shooter, the standard M9 is just as bad.

For zombies or players? AKM for zombies and PVP, FN FAL for purely players. The FAL is one of the coolest sounding guns though, it's terrifying! Some guy started popping a few shots off at me the other day with one and I was shitting myself, 1 hit would've taken away 8000 blood. I ended up killing him with my M4A3 but damn, if he'd have landed a shot, I would've been screwed since I was alone.

Helicopter crashes, do they ruin the intensity?
jdz (DayZ) replied to jdz (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
People seem to be missing the point where I mentioned being fully geared up after only 3-4 hours of playing... I've got an M4A1CCO, Alice pack, M107,NVGs and medical supplies for miles and all of this was from helicopters and loot spawns, nothing out of tents. This thread isn't about the duping problem, I am well aware of that problem but this thread isn't about it. Back in the days this would've taken weeks to acquire, I'd have had to do many missions to the super dangerous NWAF but now there's no point in going there, I never see anyone there because these helicopter crashes spawn loot 10x better than anywhere else. -

I don't know how you guys don't come across them. Do you just hold right mouse and alt? It really is your best friend, you can see everything. I come across soooo ms y without even trying to. -
If you could change one thing about DayZ, what would it be?
jdz (DayZ) replied to colekern's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Crashed helicopters would only drop assault rifles and M24 and DMR sniper rifles, 50cals would be barrack spawns -

I can assure you, I am not bull shitting. Today I set out on my motorbike to look for helicopter crashes and I found all 4 of them within 30 minutes, two in the veresnik hill area and 2 around Polana/Gorka. These ones didn't have particularly good loot on them but I've found others with 2 AS50 at one time, same goes for L85s and other 'rare' items. Also found a set of NVGs on one north of Novy and then a set 2 days later at the Polana factory. Also, read the part where I mentioned being fully geared just from helicopter spawns and loot spawns, it's ridiculous. I never once took anything out of a rent or off a player on this character and he is only hours old. -
Need ride to NW airfeild, will trade AS50 or L85 AWS or something

It's a 17 minute run... Join an empty server, jam your keyboard with something and watch some TV Use the clouds as a reference, they always travel east. -

jdz (DayZ) replied to Geoffrey (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
M4A3 would be my pick, same damage as the M16 but it has the red dot sight, full auto and the foregrip for reduced recoil. I've had an M4 holo with HE rounds for the M203 and I've never had a use for them -

Chopper crashes should spawn such things as M24s,DMRs and assault rifles. That is something else that bugs the shit out of me, the most powerful weapon in the game is faaaaaar more common than a rifle like the M24 or SVD. I've only ever found 4-5 M24s Especially considering there is 4 each restart and some servers restart once every 3 hours, that's a good 8 helicopter crashes a day and I'd be willing to place a bet that not one SVD would spawn in that time, they should be the most common sniper rifle in the damn game! Loot spawns need a fix, maybe not for the mod but at least for standalone. -

Those people that haven't found them generally tend to be the ones who never leave the coast or head north, if I want to, I can easily find all of the crash sites within 30-40 minutes if I want. Even faster if I've got a helicopter up and running, it's ridiculous. They are far to common Oh and by the way, I am fully geared atm and all of the gear I have is from loot spawns or helicopter crashes and that has only taken 3-4 hours -
Hey guys. So pretty much here's the story, my friends and I used to play on a server with a great ruleset, no nametags, no 3rd person, no tracers. But when the hacking started getting really bad they decided to go to a private hive and we followed, up until 2 days ago it had been great. We were pretty much the dominating force on the server, had 2 helicopters and a few vehicles etc They even respawned us a few times when we got killed by a hacker or spawned with no gear. Anyway, we knew there were less than legitimate players on the server, ie the admin tent duping stuff and even unspawning his helicopter when he went offline. We played with a few randoms and they tried to dupe our gear as well zzz We know the admin was duping stuff because we killed him 4 times in 1 day, 2 times stole both of his helicopters, and he was fully geared up each time. This didn't mind us to much, we just carried on doing our PVP thing. We are all 100% legitimate players, we save tents when taking stuff out etc. But 2 days ago we all got banned, they said we were 'hacking and exploiting'. We asked why they thought this and asked for examples, not one single one was given, nothing even suggesting it. They also said we were 'bullying' other groups even though there's no way of telling who is who until they're dead... I'm curious to hear other peoples thoughts on this, do you do this on your private servers? Do you try and force people to play a certain way or do you let people play however they want to? This isn't a rant thread, I am just truely curious.

How do you decide to kill somone?
jdz (DayZ) replied to #Sleepy's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I shoot anyone, I enjoy the PVP and zombies are a non threat so why not take advantage of the most intense PVP I've ever played? edit - I should mention that I don't bother with people on the coast, only in the northen 3/4 of the top -
Skins don't mean shit to me, never will. I've been a bandit in an organized group since day one a kill anyone I come across as long as I'm at least north of Mogilevka. I'm in this game for the intense fire fights that DayZ has to offer, none of this hide from everyone and cuddle in the forest type shit

DMR by far. The FAL is limited to night time use and the scope isn't great for close range. The DMR on the other hand can be used at night time (with night vision) and daytime, it has the ability to zoom. It's obviously not great for close range but that's why Alice packs and Coyote backpacks are great, room for an assault rifle.

I play with a group of up to 10 different people, one if us is always missing something and you might have it. That and I love PVP.

Wait... So people complain about the amount of high tier loot going around but at the sane time share details to these camps? mymindisfulloffuck.jpg -

jdz (DayZ) replied to Man vs Wild's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Derp... If you're going to drop your backpack, at least put it in a loot spawn -
I am very grateful for people like you guys, you're doing a great thing. I've recently been playing on a Private hive and even then, we still have people cheating and using map hacks. We know this because we find people moving from vehicle to vehicle in straight lines and from fresh spawns

What type of game was/is/should it be?
jdz (DayZ) replied to axelnito's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
To me, DayZ is the ultimate PVP game. No other game is as intense, or anywhere near. A lot of time can go into collecting all of this gear and 1 well placed sniper shot or shitty comms can undo all of that. I understand that if I want purely PVP action that I could just go and play COD and/or BF3 but it's no where near as intense, I didn't go through hours of work just to die and respawn with uber leet gear again. DayZ has and always will be about the PVP for me -
I would be interested to try this out of you have a link
