ehrm... some days ago exp. was updated. hunting, animals, zeds chase animals, mining stones, chopping down trees, 3 new guns... ;)

I have to admit, the more I think about this, the better it becomes. Things like fireplaces can be "deployed" and carried in the backpack. => like a Safe Objects in the environment like refrigerators will contain loot. So could a Safe. The mechanic to put items in certain things (Ammoboxes, yellow containers) already exists. Blowtorch? We have flares. A blowtorch could use the same flame, just smaller and in white&blue, like the camping-stove. The only really "new" thing to code would be the option to open the safe, and possibly damage the things inside. (Opening with brute force (pickaxe, firefighteraxe) damages by X%, opening safely (blowtorch) almost nothing. However, it should be able to open it with a Pickaxe, too. => Beans ;) (But also beans, because of Walter Sobchak) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-jkWvp0nLQ Note, what the Dude drops @1:25

I don't think it makes death meaningless. It takes time and patience and lot of dangerous lootruns to build up a good hide-spot. Why shouldn't the risk be rewarded for having storage? Ok. You die. Then you head back to your hide-spot and gear up. Now what? Either go and have fun(and probably get killed again), or fill up the hide-spot again, so you have another backup? :D The hide-spot doesn't re-fill itself. You need to do it.

this has been suggested before :p And the fact, that it should be so rare, scares me a bit off. I think everybody should have the opportunity to set up at least 1 hide-spot with supplies, etc. I think, persistent storage in form of persistent and character-bound backpacks are a great solution. Mountain backpacks offer lots of storage, but are bright and more easy to see. Small backpacks like courier-bags can hold a smaller amount, but are nearly invisible in the environment. No guns like M4, Mosins, SKS, etc. could be stored. But more important things like food, water and medicinal tolls would be hoarded.

So. Where do i start? First text, first pix and videos? I think i go for the 15/08-setup: Dchil suggested the Winchester 1895 to DayZ: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/171985-winchester-1895/?hl=%2Bwinchester+%2B1895 The Winchester would fit really good into the DayZ environment. It can use the same ammo as the Mosin, as far as i know. (IRL, Mosin uses 7.62x54. But in-game it's 7.62x51) There were lots of Rifles produced for Russia in the early 1900s, so it could be found "fairly common". I think the logical problems should be pretty much solved right now ;) So my idea would be a side-grade to his weapon-suggestion. And i stumbled across this one: The Mare's Leg: (2:28 Dat Sherrif-feeling; Walking through Elektro, Svetlo and Cherno in a group, clearing up the town) So i sat down with a cup of tea and started thinking. We are able to saw of the shotgun. We will be able to saw off the Blaser K95, probably. (But who would saw off a 3000$ hunting rifle anyway..? ;) ) So why not sawing off the Winchester 1895? You may ask: What about the magazine? "Normal" Winchesters have it like this: The 1895 models loads like this: => Sawing off would not result in lowering the magazine capacity (which is 5) Where to carry? #1 In the backpack like the sawn off Shotgun, taking up 1x4 slots. Or, because there could be still the stock left over, 1x5 slots. #2 In a bigger Chest- or Leg-holster (Like in the picture or the video), which is made for the Shotgun, the Blaser or the Winchester It would be sawn off on the green lines: (the green sprayed area is the "magazine", where the bullets are in) Finished, it could look like this: And what's worth an invention, without naming it? What could it be called? Winchleg, Wleg, jumping Shorty...? I hope you like the idea and support this! Comment, criticize and bump the shit outta this thread. Share it, bring your friends here to like it, let's attract the attention of the DEVs! P.S. When already being in the "Wild West"-territory, i, again, suggest leg-holsters, ponchos and biker-pants And i gotta say, i wished for a western Hat and leather jacket. And not 2 months later, they arrived. Great Job! Well done! In the end, i will leave you with these songs: Enjoy them and have a nice day, evening, whatever! P.S. The Ruger 10/22 will be able to equip the LRS!

I made a redditthread :> http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/26apop/winchester_1895_a_leveraction_rifle_for_dayz/

^this^ I don't to die more than 6 times, "just" to find out, how accurate the B95 is (it isn't thaat accurate actually) ;) I wanted to share this info, if anyone is interested. There are people, who only go for the "best" guns with the best accuracy, best RoF, best control. But I prefer the guns, which are cool. And most of the time my favorite guns in games are fairly underpowered. the LMG in Titanfall got nerfed to shit, the MG4 in GRP is weak as fuck. the GR-22 in Planetside2 got nerfed, too. I just want to know, "how" underpowered my gun is, so I know, what I can and can't do with it ;) Also I'd like to ask, if any-1 knows, what the "dispersion" actually is.

there are lines with "AK-stock green/black" and "Folding stock Green/Black" Anyone checked, if we can paint them?

Woo, the Machete turns out to be really useful!

Yeah, sorry, I was blind ;)

Let me suggest clothes made out of fur: Quickly and un-professional made fur-clothing: Coats, over-coats, Leg-wraps, etc.: Hats made out of fur: This thread reminded me of that. Thanks! ;) What do you think? What would you suggest?

up

YEAH! HELL YEAH! The B95 also in reallife has different barrels. Why not?

The Amphibia S, FNX and Magnum do this, too. But the Longhorn does it louder!

:> I think the Longhorn and B95 do Mosin damage. But I think, it's OK, that the Longhorn deals so much damage, since it shoots 1 time, and then reloads for 5s just for 1 bullet ;) There must be some balance between Stoppingpower, RoF and reload-time.

Dunno xD A small lever-action rifle shooting Mosin rounds... Would've been a sweet little hard hitting toy xD Fits the Avatar ;) I don't know. To bring in leveraction rifles with .357 ammo, they need to change a lot. Because then the lever-action would have the damage and speed of a mangum-fired-bullet, which is (way) too slow.. and if they increase th .357-velocity, the magnum will deal more dmg than it should xD

Dchil suggested a more appropriate version. the W1895. (link in my sig) and I suggested a sawn off Mare's Leg-like version of it ;) To be realistic: There probably won't be a W1895. More something like a Marlin 1984C in .357 ammo. (since CTorchia likes a gun, which shares the ammo. He told, that it will probably be a Marlin 1984C) (BUT: The W1895 would take Mosin-ammo, so it would be OK, too!!)

BTT: Why can't we fit the Longhorn in the chest-holster? I mean, it's the handgun for a hunting holster. A hunting pistol should fit in a hunting holster ;) the longhorn can't fit, but the binoculars can this is some twisted logic here. xD

I'll use the shit out of this hand-cannon. Yeehaaw! :D

thanks a lot!

Hm. I would get some mountain backpacks and horde clothing, smth. to eat and drink, 1-2 pistols and ~40 rounds per weapon. IMHO, clothing+food+drink >> firearms xD

and the Longhorn pistol?

or "the Red Man" :p
