You're right, it is assuming the Devs "give a crap". But we'd like to think they do. As well, I trying to use this to let others know what is being worked on and what is rumored in case they aren't able to keep up with all the one-off comments from other forums or media. Thanks for your support? @AP_Norris - I'll add the C96 but can you or someone provide a source? Edit - added the C96 and the Karabiner 98 to the rumored list, fyi the validity of the rumors has yet to be confirmed by myself

^^^ That book is messed up - for real messed up. Sorry haven't had a lot of time this week for updates - hoping to get to it this weekend. Edit - also feel free to help me shamelessly bump this thread. By no means is it all encompassing, but maybe then we can stop some of the"I want these weapons in the game and I'm going to post about it before reading if anyone else has" threads :)

Added the two pistols missing that are being highly voted on in AlexeiStukov's poll. If you haven't voted, vote here: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/172276-suggested-weapons-for-dayz-standalone-version-103-sidearm-vote-poll-is-up-please-vote/ The pistols with at least 60% rate of all voters are: Colt M1911 Makarov PM *added to this list Tokarev TT-33 *added to this list Nagant 1895

Except for maybe some of the weapons (my stance on more firearms is likely clear by now :P) I'd love to see all those ideas in the game. As an aside, you really should post your ideas in other posts. A list like this is fine as well, but we need more people showing support for ideas rather than making a hundred more threads about them (not that that is what you're doing here, but you know what I mean).

A really good idea at link regarding the use of rags or burlap sacks to create rifle wraps: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/173415-rifle-wraps-for-all-long-rifles/ Adding it to the list.

Great idea, going to add this to the running list I'm keeping. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/170636-master-list-of-equipable-items-the-community-wants-in-the-game/

Sounds like we will be getting an updated regarding what went into this week's Experimental Build soonish. Updated main list tor reflect Dev confirmation of the Boonie Hat, and added Head Wraps (includes Shemagh) to list.

I'd imagine more camo clothing and variants are coming. Not sure why you would ever want blue or red camo, but yeah. Also, it is probably much better to wear a faded black or deep grey at night - rich black is more likely to stand out. As for crazy clothing, not my cup of tea but if things like children's backpacks and cowboy hats are making it in they never say never. Unless you mean running around in leopard skin leotards and wearing deer antlers - then, no, and go get help :)

I voted for cooking, but until there is a reason to do so it probably won't make it in. I don't see why it would necessarily provide "extra" food (aka stomach contents) nor energy. I could see it being needed to stave off the effects of the cold, or to make sure the contents were sanitized. But right now you can't catch a cold, body temperature isn't tracked, and you can't get sick other than from eating rotten fruit. I imagine all those things will be live eventually, and those are the things I'd like to see next. Once you have to be careful of more than just getting shot by other players, this game will be a lot better IMO.

Not that I'm telling the Mods how to do their jobs (because my next suggestion would need to practically be a full time, paid gig) but if you're going to have the only stick in the section tell people to use search and if they don't they're post (on something already posted) will be deleted or merged, follow through. Just in the last two days I've seen something like 8 different topics all asking for the same weapons. No reason for that. Merge those threads with one of the better posts that is having an actual discussion. I suppose we as the community could also help out. I've been trying to post links to similar posts and telling OP's to "check it out for good debate, people are definitely interested in this idea". It seems to be working, people don't think I'm being a Dbag.

Sunglasses, tinted visor helmets, and gesture - yes please.

Intelligent, well thought out, educated responses?! How dare you! This is the internet man... :P

^^^ @ KennyKyle - what exactly would you call that? I was going to use scarf, but I thought that would convey the wrong message. Neck wrap? Hood wrap? @ Discipled - I think Natural Remedies is a great idea, I'd like to see what some more users think. Maybe start a thread on it and include a poll? Link the thread here if you don't mind, and if you don't I'll keep an eye out for it.

Pretty much this. Or at least until server optimization is at such a level that there is no problem spawning an additional couple hundred items that serve no purpose. As it is, I'm surprised they turned Books spawning on already.

Check this thread out: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/172276-suggested-weapons-for-dayz-standalone/ A very well put together thread suggesting weapons for Day Z, complete with very good reasoning and explanations. Good debates going on here. I've also adding the link to the main post.

I'm starting to see I may be in the minority when it comes to keeping the number of weapons in this in check lol :) Suggestion: add a poll to the original post. You should be able to by selecting "Manage Poll" from the upper right corner while editing. I'd say put a poll topic in for each "weapon type" and allow for multiple votes. It would likely be one of the most concrete ways to get popularity feedback, although I can understand that popular isn't necessarily what you're aiming for it would yield some interesting results and allow you to see where some of the suggestions stand. Since this thread is taking off (gratz btw, like I said it was well put together) I'm going to start tracking it for my listing here of popular items we the community want in the game: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/170636-master-list-of-equipable-items-the-community-wants-in-the-game/page-3 That thread includes a listing of which items have also been rumored and confirmed. I've posted a link to your thread in there. That's also the selfish reason I recommend a poll: it makes it easier for me to track too :)

Wow. Yes to this, if it can be done. The only problem with it would be, what other things will reflect? Could you screw with someone by leaving a mirror or the like in a known sniper spot? That would be kind of amazing too.

Sorry for the double post, just saw this. I guess I never thought of it quite this way Alexei, it would indeed add to the survival elements and possibly reduce Player KoS Trolling since specific ammo would be harder to find. I think I could probably come around to this kind of thinking, I just still say we don't need to go crazy and have 25+ ammo types (not that that is what you're saying, but if we took every weapon suggestion on the forums, it could get there). 10-15 would still be fine IMO, and would offer a lot of variety in weapons that could be put in the game.

Hmm....yup, I typed what I thought I typed. Former Soviet Bloc would be something like Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhsthan, the Ukraine, etc. Czech Republic on the other hand was a Warsaw Pact nation. I'd say both groups of countries were heavily under Soviet influence. I'd also say Chernarus could draw comparisons from either. Lastly, I'd also say a country on Russia's border is not Russia. Also, I listed 11 caliber types, you listed 14. I'd say neither of the numbers are 5. They are also in the same ballpark. I think we're speaking the same language here :) Thanks for the info on the 1895 though, not too familiar with the gun; did a quick check and obviously misread.

@ AlexeiStukov - it is a very nice list, well put together. Lot's of information there. Here's my feedback on your list: I'm of the group saying we don't need several dozen ammunition types (which seems counter to what a lot of people think). I ask in threads like these, do we really need 3 different types of 7.62 rounds? Do we really need 2 different types of 9mm rounds? These different rounds can't be "shared" because of dimensions. Also, the more weapons, the more loot table dilution - it will become harder and harder for people to find specific weapons they are looking for. Doesn't necessarily bother me, but it will some. That all said, I guess here's what I'd do regarding ammunition types: - Since the .22 LR is in game, I'd definitely add a .22 pistol and it seems the Devs want to as well - your MP-435 is a wonderful suggestion, as would be something like the Ruger Mark III. - Since 5.45x39mm is likely coming when the AK-74 is added by the Devs, I'd probably also add the AKS-74U as a variant which could share attachments as well. - Since people want WWII era weapons, if you're going to add the 7.62x25mm TT, use it for the Tokarev, Nagant M1895, and PPSh-41 - all popular on the forums - Since 7.62x39mm is already in game from the SKS, adding the AK-47 or AKM makes sense, as would either the vz. 58 or VZ-805 assault rifles. - Since 7.62x54mm is already in game from the Mosin, I would use your suggestion to add the PKP and I'd also add the SVD Dragunov. - If we were to add the 9x18mm PM, which would make sense as a popular Eastern Bloc round, I would use your suggestion of the Makarov, possibly the OTs-33 or even the Skorpion vz. 82, perhaps one of either the PP-19 or OTs-02. A lot of those Russian SMG's might not be too common, hence the suggestion of the Skorpion as an alternative. - Since the 9x19mm Parabellum is highly likely to make an appearance, your suggestions of the Sig P226 or the PP-2000 would make sense, as would possibly the Beretta, the Skorpion EVO 3, or the HK MP5. - Since the .45 ACP is already in the game, the Colt M1911 does make some sense. Not sure about the UMP for reasons thedogfoodyayho mentioned above. - Since the 12 gauge shotgun shell is in the game, I may add something like the Saiga 12, and we are likely to see another American shotgun like the Winchester 1200 or Remington 870. We may see something like a CZ series Hunting Rifle adding in a caliber listed above, or even bring another ammo type in the 5.56mm NATO (for HK, Steyr, etc type assault rifles). If we use all the listed types above, plus the 5.56mm NATO, plus the .357 which is already in the game, that is 11 ammunition types. That is a lot. I'd honestly say anything falling outside those calibers or using specialty calibers just shouldn't be added. Your list is good, but I think you made the same mistake I did when first playing - I thought this was taking place in Russia. It actually seems more similar to the Czech Republic, or another former Soviet Bloc state. That is why NATO weapons are making common appearances. All the classic Russian WWII weapons and Russian Special Forces weapons start to make a lot less sense when taking that into consideration.

@ basinox - pretty sure I got overalls on the main list. @ irishroy - yeah that poncho looks great, I thought you meant the cheesy kind from spaghetti westerns; don't get me wrong, I love me some Man With No Name movies, but those ponchos..ewww Updated - removed the experimental build items since it looks like they went live with the emergency patch. Added Poncho and More Femine Specifc Clothing. Edit - I'm a liar, Overalls weren't on the list - they are now, should be. Also missed the post about the Ghillie Suit - I've heard a lot people saying it's coming, so will put it in Rumored until get more information. Not sure if I agree with it, should be incredibly rare if it is put in, but this thread isn't only about my opinion :)

^^ What Dallas says. I'm not sure which would be easier however - modeling some current in game clothing to have "fitted" variants (and I mean, hey, some guys like skinny jeans, don't they?) or setting it so that the clothes have a "men's" version and a "women's" version. Honestly I think the later is kind of sexist - I know some women who prefer to wear men's clothes. This is something that should be looked at regardless, and frankly it is no less important to a part of the player base than adding more weapons is to others.

Again, Loot Table Dilution. Again, I don't think we need several guns that do the exact same thing but need different skins and animations that soaks up valuable Dev time. Maybe pick one of those, but it seems like the most realistic Russian/Soviet SMG's that could/should be in the game you missed - the PPSh and the Bizon. And honestly I don't even know if we need them. If we want to go the Czech route, we could say Skorpion. Again, do we need them? I'm all for the Tokarev, but then problems of more ammo types that only work for one gun crop up. When they inevitably add weapons using 9mm Para how choked will players get once they find the Tokarev, then the common 9mm Para but can't load it? No, they need to find the 9mm TT. And if we add some of the SMG's, we'd also have to add the 9mm Makarov rounds further confusing the issues. Just saying - most of those are cool weapons, but do we really need them? Want, sure. But need them?

Updated - ugh, so obviously work kicked my ass this week so much that I missed the new Experimental Build go out. Change main post to reflect new items. @Shadow134 - my bad, didn't realize the SKS was using AK ammo (but I should have, I know better) @irishroy - raincoats are in the game, but more the fisherman style; you mean poncho style or else honest to good poncho's? Also, have an entry for more holsters :)

^^^ Yup. Surprised and feeling foolish I didn't have those added, seen people asking for it. UPDATED: added belts, Swiss Army Knfie/Multitool, MRE's (military rations)
