dont see why you shouldn't be able to get it normally but good idea

but CDF, US and British militaries got involved so there would be more military weapons

guns wouldn't be locked up, its a zombie apocalypse for christ sake, which by the way didn't happen overnight, every gun is going to come out of its hiding spot.

I know its probably coming but a black hunting backpack would be nice, only having a green one kind of makes black clothes obsolete imo, maybe beige and brown versions as well. A balaclava would be nice too.

L85A2 - there's UK vests so the UK must have been involved, so why not include the standard issue rifle of the UK armed forces.

what about the SVD, SVU, VSS, VSK, KSVK, SDVK, SVDS, OSV, SR3?

AEK-971,973?

this would get really annoying when vehicles/bases get added. killed after restart = unable to play for 4 hours

the us invaded chernarus, rocket is following the arma 2 campaign, so there would be hundreds of US rifles

so, your point is, rocket should make us pay for content, so we get updates quicker, except, we'd have to pay for the updates wouldn't we? And another thing, what if some people have bought content and others haven't? Do we all have different hives?

then no one will fire, weapons will be pointless and the game will be boring as everyone will just hoard.

This has been suggested a lot but not fully fleshed out. Pretty simple really, if you run around your shoes and trousers aquire dirt, more so if you are in a swamp or the beach. Your shirt and weapons would get dirty in certain conditions (crawling). If you crawl in blood, shoot someone at close range or melee something your item gets bloody. You would be able to tell by looking at the clothing or checking the status. By putting the item (empty) in your hands you could wash it at a lake or well. Your character could get dirty as well.

the model for nvgs is done, expect to see them soon

I think that western guns have a place in dayz and should be kept in rather than throw them all out and use shovels or bats as a primary. This is because they make sense in chernarus, where there are many signs of war (the blown up BMPs) and i'm presuming that they are following the arma 2 campaign out, where the US invaded. This would explain the M4s and US gear. The chopper crashes in the mod were UH1Ys meaning that the US were fighting the infection, also the presence of UK vests indicates that British (or NATO as a whole) forces were deployed. All the weapons should end up somewhere right? AKs and eastern guns should be more common than NATO arms and would in fact become very common since they were mass produced; and if you think about it every firearm is going to come out of the box in this kind of crisis, however having them that common would detract from the survival aspect. Ammo should be fairly common too since when zombie numbers are increased everyone will have to fight for loot, and i believe if you are forced to shoot zombies, you are in combat more, not feeling the need to take out players to pass the time, and if ammo is rare, people will avoid everything and save bullets for other survivors. maybe a good way to keep civilian guns popular is to keep ammo more common for them. So in my opinion, keep ammo fairly common and western guns (M16s, M240s, L85s etc) in the game and don't entirely replace them as some people want. It would keep variety.

maybe they could sometimes spawn huge zombie hordes, forcing people to fight their way through

people dont have time running all the way across chernarus just to meet up. It takes too long and some people will abandon the game.

simple idea, put a hud on gas masks and bike helmets, anything like that really. It would restrict view slightly as it would irl and maybe have some effects on it, e.g. rain on visors show. might deter people from using them non stop and instead carry them, putting them on when they need to.

yeah wolf mind got the idea, maybe if water gathered you could wipe it off metro last light style

the military would probably be using mines to defend against zeds and they wouldn't have set them all up so yeah.

there should definitely be a focus on soviet gear but NATO were involved in the outbreak and the US before that explaining the M4s. The outbreak is set after 2017 (cereal pack dates) so modern equipment (like AK12s) are plausible.

nah in stary or cherno you can make a couple of maps just look in wrecks

i think the removal of autohover, only first person in choppers and some cockpit interactions would make flying harder but not too hard.

A simple idea, you would hold on to a key (like you would shift, to go slow) and your character would try to move or do whatever he is doing with less noise. He would do the action slower and use more energy (use up food and drink quicker). Say you are reloading, you would carefully slide out the mag etc making slightly less noise. If you are walking you would make less noise and be slower.
