I would love to see a basic scope, flashlights, bayonets, for things like the enfield. For the military stuff there should be loads of options, but it should be mostly broken (heli crashes are not good for precision engineering) and rare as rocking horse s**t. In terms of needing a workshop and tools, it would have to be easier than patching up the cars, so a leatherman and some WD40 should probably be enough. Also i would like to be able to use the rifle butt to smash Z's in the face, alot, Really really hard.

WRT gunshots, hearing them is one thing, knowing where they are coming from is completely different, esp if your head is rotting from the inside. if the Z infection is anything worse than a mild hangover, i can't see how they can be expected to pin-point one lound bang. Sustained gunfire is different, but there aren't many belt-fed MG's in game to really make this an issue. you might be able to tell roughly which building a shot came from, if you are in LOS and less than 100m away, but anything other than that is just BS. I don't find the game any more difficult now, if anything there are fewer Z's which makes it easier.

Before yesterday i had only killed people who had shot at me 1st. This time I was looting hangars at the southern airstrip and moving towards the industrial buildings at the far end of the runway when i heard some AK shots. you could tell from the rythm of the shots that it was someone offing Zeds, so i wasn't that worried, but it meant he had the same ammo as me, so i have to admit i was tempted to go after him. A couple of minutes passed and having heared nothing i moved thru the bushes towards where he had been, only to see him running in the open towards me. I took cover and switched to full auto on the AK. I wasn't sure if he had seen me, but he ran right towards where i was hiding. he seemed to pause behind a bush so when he popped out he took a whole clip to the face and chest. what happened next was poss. the most rewarding thing i have ever had in a game: he had his mic on voice-activated and was in side chat, and i heard him scream with surprise and then pant and swear for about 30 seconds. I was pretty shocked tbh, I didnt want to kill him, but he was too close and had stuff i needed. No other game has ever made me grin, feel remorse and make my hands shake with anticipation all at the same time. Day Z is genius.

i have the same problem. but recently it keeps spawning me with the kit i had last week. this isn't a disaster, as i have enough gear to survive, but it is frustrating as i'm trying to move my game along, not just shuffle around hunting sheep with an enfield.
