Hi All, I've been playing the Arma series since OpFlash days, but I've only been playing DayZ for a couple of weeks and now that I've worked out how to use my axe as a primary weapon, I just can't bring myself to trade it for a a rifle. The burdon of having to loot for ammo and the fact I can't find anything silenced, makes the axe my best friend. I've tried picking up and putting an AK into my Alice pack, but if you press the wrong button at the wrong time, the rifle vanishes (along with it's ammo). I know I can put the axe back on my toolbelt and/or drop the rifle to make space when I want it back but it's way to slow when dealing with an advancing horde. Everyone else seems to be running about with some sort of rifle and I'm worried I'm doing something wrong, or missing something vital. Does anyone use both an axe and rifle or is there another way to silently kill the walking dead? Are there any melee weapons I can carry instead of a pistol? Great game, I'm just getting fed up avoiding other (heavily armed) players. Any help would be appreciated.
