They need to buff the M4 a lot but also make it much rarer. Not sure what the hell an M4 is doing in an office. SKS should be reasonably powerful like it is now, but continue to spawn ammo and guns in non military places reliably.

I thought the speed of the 5.56 made it just drill right through the target in CQ, but okay no point arguing with Gews about ballistics.

M4 needs an accuracy buff, we also need something to simulate vital organ damage and eventually failure. 5.56x45 has a lot less tissue damage than the 7.62x39 to get a kill you really have to hit head/ chest.

More lighting options to smoothen up night gameplay. Realistic damage from melee weapons. Camps. Hunting. More numerous and dangerous zombies that aren't challenging because of bugs. Edit: almost forgot C96

I thought bolt action snipers were really only given to recon units and such, meaning it would be rarer than an RPG. Recon is a pretty special unit isn't it? I would assume any marksman would be given a SVD for use in a squad.

If we get a belt fed machine gun that would be awesome, It would really be cool if they went into detail with the chains and you could link them together. Another necessary slot in my opinion is the waist slot, for belts, fannypacks, holsters and bandoliers.

I want to see that one suggestion on Reddit where you would wake up in a random house somewhere inland. At night or a cloudy day, in the forest with no landmarks you would have zero sense of direction. They could also make houses near military loot very rare. I would however also like the cities to stay somewhat populated. Maybe 66% chance spawning close to / in a city. 33% spawning in a completely random house almost anywhere on the map.

I think balance should be kept to how often you have things spawning.People can already carry several thousand M4 rounds. It would just realistically save you a lot of room in other places having the correct sort of gear, and I would like to see a bit of balance coming from player speed and fatigue depending on how much they're carrying.

I think they do need some specialised pocket specific things like this.You should be able to put two mags in Assault vest pockets or one dual/ coupled mag, two pistols in two separate 1x2 pockets of pants like jeans. Maybe there could be special hidden pockets, much like the pistol holster one but for something like a walkie talkie/ radio to fit on the side.

Wait, I think you have looked at 3 wrong.

Suggestion 3 is my favourite, jt means you can carry mags. But you cannot carry anything like an ammo box.

Wouldn't want to be force fed that.We should be able to put our knives in poop like the guerrillas in Nam.

I think just joining less populated servers will save you from hackers. With this you should try out hardcore, the people are usually a bit friendlier, and PVP is harder and more realistic when it does come along.

This one time I stuck my hands up as a player walked out of the bushes with a mosin on me. My friend did the same as 3 more people came out of the bush. I wanted to back away but I couldn't because I would have to drop my arms. We got shot :( damn assholes. They then went on to kill the newspawns in Berezino for a couple of hours, I managed to kill two with just melee weapons though. They couldn't shoot for shit.

Did you try to turn sideways and roll up the stairs?

You hold a compass to the ground and tend to look over it. I usually only use a compass IRL when it's very cloudy. When I use my compass I hold it against the map, find north on map and line it up with magnetic North. Then I use the hills and any other landmarks to try and find my exact position. It isn't that hard to read though, but I'd still like to use it with the map.

More often than not though, it probably will.

I think we should be able to coat bladed weapon in anything, Possibly in future we can coat a shiv in excrement so if you manage to get that dirty newspawn shooting scum he is going to have big problems if he didn't pack alcohol tincture or antibiotics.

While fighting belongs in DayZ I do think there should be less of it. I think less ammo is a good thing. The game definitely needs to focus on making basic survival harder.

9mm isn't effective enough compared to .45 it has more recoil and all the mags hold barely any ammo.Mosins should spawn worn most of the time in my opinion, I think damaged should suggest proper damage while worn should more or less just be visible damage to the weapon like nicks on the stock.

What they need to do Gews is fire their current balance and gameplay designers and just hire you. You could give them numbers off your head and they would be 100 times better than what the current guys are doing. If anything in this point of the game they should just base their guns on complete realism and alter the weapon sway, recoil, and spawn rate to give the guns the desired affect. What's the best way to bring all the weapon flaws to someone in the dev team?

A mod did it and it worked alright, it was pretty much a choice between spawning in KOS zone and spawning in less risky survivor zones with less military loot.

I would like that, but I'm concerned with how the game classifies someone as a KOSer.JK.
