Hey guys I found a ghillie suit in cherno if anyone wants it. Just run down the street to the big tall buildings and I can give it to you. By the way does anyone know the proper way to reload a m107?

Most bandits that are snipers have TERRIBLE AIM. (takes them 10 shots to hit a stationary target from 200 meters with an m107)

m16 acog for farther away, m4a3 closer in. It really just depends on your playstyle.

The ACE mod for arma 2 added even more realistic features for sniping. Maybe if somehow it was incorporated into dayz it would be harder to snipe but more realistic. It is up to rocket how much other features out of default arma 2 he wants to incorporate in the mod.

I suggest the name "bandit" in Dayz be changed to "marauder". Just a personal preference and more general term. If anyone has other terms they think would make a good replacement for the word "bandit" feel free to post.

DayZ was meant as a more realistic approach to a zombie apocalypse. It can still be whatever you want within certain boundaries (example: we are all invincible and can never lose our gear and weapons should spawn instantly within 5 feet of player spawn locations).

I was ounce moving around at night in the wilderness without nvgs or other light source. I was at roughly 9.5-10k health at that point and looking for an animal to kill for some meat. I made a stupid mistake and accidentally aggroed a zed near a deer stand. I got out my m9sd and started shooting it but for some reason there were a lot of zeds that I had aggroed and I got knocked unconscious at about 9k health and died. I lost a m9sd, a dmr, a gps, and all other loot except for nvgs. All because of a stupid mistake I made while moving in the wilderness with low light.

Ummmmm I'm pretty sure dmr damage did not get changed and with a sniper rifle you can sometimes blow up the engine/fuel tank. Works the same in default arma 2.

I would go with dmr unless you want to camp from 1000 meters by yourself as a bandit. Seeing as you are part of a squad I would suggest dmr. DMR scopes can also work with nvgs and are more medium range group firefight friendly.

I think it takes a while for the heat signature to be gone but if the vehicles are lying around at a camp I would not expect them to show up. When you step on the ground with a boot does it leave enough heat for a sustained period of time for this to be realistic? Keep in mind DayZ uses the arma 2 and arma 2 oa weapons so any changes to the L85a2 would have to be made too. It would be possible for rocket to incorporate other weapons modded into the game (double barreled shotgun) but at this point I doubt the arma 2 devs would make changes to the L85a2.

I also haven't seen anything like this in arma 2 before...

I believe these belong to you. :beans: :beans: :beans: :beans:

The as50 tws is not in dayz. I would not use it if I were you. It is always best to not use hacked items.

Seeing as you have a close range weapon already (mp5sd) if I were you I would take cz and mp5sd. If it comes to any firefight you should be fine with the cz compared to an ak kobra. If you are in a building though I would suggest getting out your m1911 and be ready to fire if there are bandits there. I have not tried the m1911 since the patch yet but if you are accurate enough it should be okay.

I'm pretty sure they would despawn after a while. sorry.
