    Zombies as a cure for KOS

    This. I desperately want there to be scenarios when 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'. Two random people teaming up, back to back in order to hold back the onslaught. Best. Death. Ever.

    Easter Eggs? Aliens? Mysteries? [Official]

    WHAT. That is so fucking cool.

    Is the heat haze effect just that or some kind of sickness?

    It only happens when you run for a long time. I'mI'm pretty sure it's just a fatigue indicator.

    Being a bandit done right. (Video)

    I love the depantsing. I've already done this myself.

    Lets post some screen shots (Standalone)

    Open your video setting, in your rendering option, turn up your detail to max. That helps with your level of detail.

    Don't forget the point of Alpha...

    GODDAMNIT USE THE BUG TRACKER. THAT'S WHY IT EXISTS. SEARCH FOR A BUG, UP VOTE THE APPROPRIATE REPORT, WAIT FOR FIX. Fuck me.

    Taking a screenshot?

    Really? My steam overlay is disabled in Dayz, I have to use fraps.

    FNX45

    Keep in mind you need a mag for the FNX45. You can't load one like the M4.

    saline vs blood bag

    You need to smash can after can of food/water into you. Once you stop getting 'I'm hungry' messages, keep eating. Once you fill up your stomach, you will notice a 'healthy' indicator appear in your inventory screen. You are now regenerating blood and can go much longer without eating.

    Intense Balota Gunfight!

    Agreed. I can't wait till they unfuck the M4.

    Learn to be a medic - Medical procedures in DayZ

    Is the defibrillator mechanic actually working? We tried it on ourselves but it didn't have any effect. And a pro tip regarding bloodbags: get a friend and take donation of your own blood. Attach the iv starter kit to the bag and sanitize it. Put the completed blood bag back into a med kit in your OWN inventory, and do the same for your friend. It shouldn't take too long to re gen the lost blood if you eat and drink, and this way you both have a pre - made, sanitized and prepped bloodbag that you know 100% will work. If you run into trouble, open your friends medical kit and recover his bag for use. Just make sure you leave your own blood inside your medical kit to avoid confusion.

    Lets post some screen shots (Standalone)

    Me? Intel Core i7-950, 24 GB DDR3, 2 ATI Radeon 6850 in cfX. I had everything turned up to max for the screen shots except for bloom, I left that at about 75%. I was running at like 15 frames in the rural parts of the map.

    This goddamn idiot ran up on us in the middle of a massive firefight...guy had nothing on him but books and an empty bottle of water! Not even a hatchet! We named him The Librarian.

    Sniper Rifles

    The Mosin Nagant IS a military rifle, and adding a scope does indeed make it a sniper rifle. Historically, it was extremely effective when employed in this role.

    This is from the same hike as Fluxley. I'll upload more as I get around to it.

    Photo Op Massacre

    Oh my god that was amazing
  18. Merrick362 (DayZ)

    m4 is really inaccurate.

    Effective range of an M4A1 is 200m for a single shooter on a point target.

    Rolling Update Rev. 0.30.113860

    Switching between two-handed weapons works well, however, transitioning to pistol sill causes the player to stop.

    Weapon Inaccuracy

    I have to admit, I haven't actually fired the M4 yet, but I nailed a guy to a wall from 500m with a mosin.

    Poll: What are your thoughts on the Standalone?

    This needs to be stickied for the Devs to see.

    Where are the guns?

    I've had no trouble finding good firepower...on various servers, in various towns, etc. The only thing I can't find is a pistol mag. That's my end game at the moment.

    Guns too Over powered at moment !

    The lethality of the rounds are fantastic the way they are currently implemented. Where the differences between weapons will come into play would be with effective range, ballistics, precision (not accuracy - that's up to the shooter). I.e. - an M4 and M16 fire the exact same round from the exact same mag. The M4 uses a shorter barrel which means the round escapes the muzzle sooner and has less time to accelerate. The shorter barrel also moves the center of gravity back which decreases controlablility and increases vertical recoil.

    How to kill without damaging gear.

    Just a side note: you can draw blood from somebody with a syringe, but you can't do anything else.

    Green mountain

    I went there during my first run in the stand alone...I went upstairs, and there was nothing inside save for 5 axes...There were no birds, no glitched zombie sounds, nothing..
