I was checking the deer stand West of Pop Ivan when I heard pistol shots coming from the direction of Vyshnoye. I headed towards the town and watched from some bushes as a guy looted a heli crash site. He took his loot and made his way up the hill, his path crossing within 50m of my bush. I had up to this point always tried to be a friendly player but with nothing to show for it except multiple deaths. "Not this time!" I said to myself as I raised my Winchester. The first two shots put him down and I ran over to him to administer the coupe de grace. A final shot to the head ended this unfortunate souls journey north. I felt bad looking down at his body....until I found the AS50 and 4 mags in his bag. Yoink! I left the fly infested corpse behind and went to see if our unlucky traveller had missed anything. He must have been looting in a rush or lacking space because there on the ground sat a shiny SAW. I was happy to swap my now tainted Winchester for something a bit more.... blasty.

I'm missing out. I don't see sigs on my mobile. Boo!

Self control! I have none :)

Shit I can lose my stuff without even trying. Thanks vilayer!

I have never tested it but the hatchet isn't actually a melee weapon. Arma isn't coded for melee so the hatchet is actually a very shot range silenced gun. I would imagine if you are standing at the driver side window you could hit he driver but not the passenger.

I got into dayz after seeing a penny arcade cartoon about it and doing some research. Since then Its the only game I've played.

Don't feel bad that's just the way it goes. He would have done the same to you.

Dubrovka? Boo I'm wrong and someone already got it

Pod person steak alert!

I think I know this but I'm going to refrain due to my lack of follow up pictures.

By 2 whole minutes sucker!

Big shed by stary military tents. Knew that before I saw the file name!

Sorry! I don't have a single screenshot to post! I shall endevour to tale some next time I'm online!

Very north end of berezino (at the and of the road and railway)

I would love it if killing a zombie required a headshot ala the proper old style zombie films. My issue with pistol damage is more for PvP. As a few people in this thread have already mentioned, having an M1911 emptied into your body from 6ft should (and would irl) kill you. The trick is not to let somebody get that close to you :D

How on gods green earth did steak manage to do that amount of driving and not kill everyone?

I will be trying it out on my next session. Every time I've played namalsk so far I've been killed by hackers. Would be nice if I just got shot by someone.

Pistols should be more deadly at close range but have a severe accuracy/ damage penalty at longer (like 50m) range

Every time I use the axe I get hit by a zombie. I fail.

If the l85 had mil dots id be in heaven!

I have the l85 at the moment. I love it. I switch from NV mode to thermal. Its like a mini sniper rifle with its variable zoom and zeroing!

I've legit found DMRs, M24, AS50 and M107s. For a variety of reasons I've never had the chance to fire any of them. The only weapons I've killed another player with are Winchester and Makarov.

I prefer the 1911 to the revolver. Its rate of fire is far superior. I don't think the increased effective range of the revolver makes a big difference. You shouldn't be using a pistol at 100m anyway.

Its a vicious circle. People kill you on sight so eventually you get fed up and start doing it too. Then your victims start to kos and it begins all over again. Just be more careful in the areas your most likely getting killed eg stary, cherno, elektro etc

If it isn't a headshot instant kill its a server issue not anything wrong with the makarov. I've always found it to be very effective against zombies and it has a very low sound signature. I have even killed a player with one. He got the drop on me as I looted and unloaded a 1911 into me. They were all body shots so I lived. When he was realoading I walked a clip up his body from chest to head and down he went.
