I have found three 30 round magazines in the tents at NWAF, as well as the pristine folding stock and tactical guard. I was given the only drum I have, and I only found the one AKM in the barracks at Vybor. Certainly a less frequent drop than the M4's were.

Because it isn't? Can mods just lock these stupid threads when they are made? Or stuff them in that one stupid thread that has the previous ones? 3pp works for some players. Go play hardcore like a coward if you are afraid of dudes creeping behind bushes.

Wow really? Makes sense. One slot was silly. When a pair of running pants take two slots anyway...

Depends on the sequence or gun. Again, I don't understand how anal some you guys are about these sorts of things.

Have you fired a lot of Russian steel case? That stuff is as smokey as anything in the game. I honestly don't see much of a difference between the real world and the game in terms of smoke or flash. They may leave the flash up long enough to give a greater effect, but it isn't like Commando or anything.

Is that really so egregiously different as to warrant comment?

Well this is bizarre. I have never had an issue getting them.

I have had no issues with my weapon sway. Running now kills sway, you need to let yourself catch your breath for sure. The PSO scope is fine for me crouching and holding my breath. I dislike the PSO though because of its massive zoom.

Seriously? Binoculars spawn like crazy in the typical civilian buildings for me. Both of the large brick buildings have them fairly regularly. Some of the regular houses will spawn them too.

LOL Honestly though, anyone who shoots knows that both a muzzle flash and smokey discharge are regular occurrences. And using cheap Russian steel case ammo will get you an even better muzzle flash, smoke, and sometimes sparks thanks to low grade, large grain charcoal!

That muzzle flash is not unreasonable. The issue with Hollywood style is the duration. Regular rounds make a split second flash. And smokeless powder makes smoke. Just a lot less than black powder. Do any of you actually shoot?

Exactly. Enough with the 3pp threads. Hardcore is a thing. Go play it.

There is apparently a confusion of terms. Server hopping = loot farmers jumping server to server. Ghosting = using secondary servers to gain an advantageous tactical position on a primary server. The OP was a garbled mass of incorrect terms and broken English. It was a struggle to understand.

This was a nonsensical post about a bandit upset about ghosting with a title about server hopping. I need a drink.

Posting without the use of capital letters is pathetic. See how constructive that is? Isn't really is it? It is a factual statement, but probably not overly helpful in the grand scheme of things. If people want to hop, let them. If you stick to hi pop servers you will be fine. Hoppers stay away from high pops.

No, calling server hopping pathetic is not constructive. It is an opinion and whining, which is rarely constructive. And I am not so much defending server hopping as I am attacking those who publicly complain about it. Just play your game and kill the server hoppers if you want.

Or again, you can just not judge and pick a server. You are in control of your experience, not anyone else's.

You don't need to explain. It is your opinion. But judging people who want to try the items isn't constructive either.

There is an abandoned feel to the map. I get what you are saying, but I think aesthetic changes to the components will be a late addition. It just isn't important at this juncture.

I have a note on my 90 hour survivor stating how long he has been alive and where I have been. On my Hardcore player I have my Steam name and directions for where I want my hat left in memorium (the ruins on the hill west of Polana).

Why? People want to try the new gun out. I was lucky to find one (I logged in at Stary and just had a quick run to Vybor Military Base). We are still in a testing mode. People can jump around all they want to see the new things.

AKM and high cap vests are only spawning in the barrack buildings for me. I found three on the Path of the Warrior (Balota - Zelenogorsk-Green Mountain - Vybor base -NWAF). Tents at NWAF will get you the parts. Drums are very tough to get. I met a nice fellow at Vybor and we talked for a bit and he gave me my drum. I hadn't found any mags or anything yet. We parted ways friends and Steam buddies. I found three 30 round mags at NWAF since last night. Not a big fan of the PSO scope. Too much zoom for me.

I found mine at the Vybor Base. It was in one of the barrack buildings next to a bed. I found another in the bunk building next to the tents at NWAF.

Yeah, the AK drum unloads to 3x20 and one 15 stack.

I haven't lost faith. I have a blast with this game. If they closed the doors tomorrow, I would still feel like I got more than my money's worth out of it.
