Came across this old thread while using the search function..... Since playing DayZ for a couple months now, while running around various parts of the map (inland and coast). I will occasionally hear the same 3-round burst from what sounds like the same type of gun every time far off in the distance, usually its's only one burst at very random intervals, like mentioned above at the exact same rhythm. I can usually get a bearing on which direction it comes from, and almost always investigate, but I never see any players or zed spawns to indicate any nearby activity. My music is turned off. This even happens on servers that have very few players logged in, and I'm out in the middle of nowhere. I just find it very peculiar and wonder if it's actually part of the background sound files and not a player fired gun? Does this sound familiar to anyone else?... or am I just repeatedly part of the same coincidences?
