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.

I would like to say that default arma 2 does NOT use the same health system as dayz. There is no blood system in default arma 2. While it does depend on the settings you run in default arma 2 the damage will probably be more authentic. Also many people that play arma 2 run the ACE mod which makes the game even more realistic.

The free open world is what makes arma 2/dayz so different...

Some players just kill on sight as to not risk any of there precious gear. Others kill for fun or to acquire supplies. It just makes that very rare experience with a friendly player so much better.

Dayz seems to be more geared towards farther into the apocalypse where civilization and most working vehicles are gone. It is not set at the start where much of civilization is still intact. Having bikes disappear is an interesting idea but there will probably a lot of people that will object to this.

I would suggest you use freeside trading for this. It might be easier for trading.

You never run out of ammo with it and it can usually one hit zeds. It is also completely silent.

IT'S A TRAP!

Based on your gear I would guess that you were starting a fresh life and had gotten gear from a tent. You say you have cooked meat yet you have no hatchet, matches, or even a hunting knife. Only high value items either hacked in or from a tent.

Typing probably isn't as efficient as voice communications but it still works.

I do not have a working mic and also wondering if anyone wants to team up through steam. I normally just salute or try to avoid people in general. I have had friendly player encounters where neither of us have saide anything just saluted and circled around each other and continued on our way. If I am a few days in and well geared I will start to be much less trusting though and much more antisocial.
