Just put your tent in some trees in an "out of the way" place. Fortifications just make it that much easier to spot.

Irony.

I like carrying a DMR and an M14. DMR mags are pretty common and both weapons use them. The .50's have range you rarely need, though they do have the guaranteed 1 shot kill.

M14 AIM. It's like the Enfield 2.0.

You sound as retarded as the people you're complaining about. In a knee-jerk, foaming at the mouth kind of way. Relax, no one is gonna judge you for eating duped beans, or dying with a AS50 thermal.

If you're unarmed, don't run towards me. Better yet, don't even run in my general direction, especially if you see me. I don't go out of my way to kill new spawns, but I have killed more than a couple. And it only takes an hour or so of playing to find out Cherno and Electro are sort of dangerous. There are a lot of other places to get gear, that are far less dangerous. Besides, if you're repeatedly dying before getting a weapon, you're doing it wrong. If you see corpses all over, that may be an indication of something. Or you can be lazy/impatient, die a lot, make a thread.

Just watch obvious sniper spots on busy/decently populated servers. Find a spot outside/behind the normal sight lines and eventually you'll see movement of some kind. Sniper hill in electro usually produces good loot, that's where I get my nvg's/rangefinders most often. And I got my L85 off a guy that was sniping from Drakon Island into Electro. Not sure how common that is, but I have found a tent or two on that island too.

I killed a guy that had one too. I know you can use it if you find it, but after carrying it around for a bit, I dropped it. Just didn't want to have issues with any server admins etc, plus there are plenty of legit weapons in game. Enough people freak out about hacked weapons, so to me it wasn't worth the potential sperge-storm.

I was under the impression that shooting zombies was pve. Go play some themepark if you want to farm shiny gear and have a glorified chat room. 99% of the fun is wondering if someone is in that treeline as you attempt to cross that field, hearing gunfire in the distance, finding loaded tents, etc. Finding that downed chopper and wondering who's watching you through a scope. The risk is what makes this game interesting.

Usually whoever spots whom first, wins. I know I have killed some people who had no clue where it came from, and vice versa. Random running through the woods/deerstands etc.

Running it, sometimes restarting my router > faster/better than the alternatives.

The 249 has a magazine well. Doesn't feed fast enough, but works in a pinch.

I kill everything I see and vice versa.

If you have a bunch of gear that it took you hours and hours to get, you're lying if you're just gonna sit and die if you have the option of not dying and keeping all your stuff. E-honor is a unicorn, learn to shoot.

Same weapon, different optics.
