    MP5 extremely rare?

    My guess is that the devs want to limit the availability of perceived firepower. Automatic weaponry has gradually become more rare. M4s used to spawn in police stations. Then they were moved to heli crashes and replaced with the AKM. Then the AKM stopped spawning in civvy areas and moved to military installations. And now you have the MP5K, which replaces the AKM in civvyland but is kind-of-maybe rare.
  2. Pfffft. The champion of secondaries is still the FNX45 due to .45 ACP doing sub-7.62x39mm damage. The MP5K is simply a turdball because of how its poor balance revolved around its RoF. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/157E9LRDmu9SeGzdjYKfBausMNDjfYFefD-hJAYGdAe8/ The MP5K is significantly worse than the pistols in almost every aspect. P.S Having a bipod on the AKM is pointless since it's already nospread. You're just making a heavy gun turn even slower.

    Nah. AKMs don't spawn at police stations but the MP5K does. I've found MP5Ks + magazines at the police stations.

    Save The Trees Man! Marginalized Wilderness

    I hope they don't wreck the emptiness north of Svetlo. It's a nice place.

    Your FPS and Optimization

    Does anyone know what the Terrain feature even does? I don't notice a difference in any of the quality levels.

    A challenge for you all :)

    I've done FNX45-only runs. Ezpz. Can't be assed to go hunting, though. Hunting and cooking feel like turd features. I was telling my buddy to remove the firewood since the meats were done cooking. He didn't do it, and the meats burnt in 10 seconds.

    Mosin + Bipod?

    Well yeah, but why would you put a bipod on the AKM which already has no spread?

    Mosin + Bipod?

    M4 with RIS guard.

    Questions about the SKS

    Nobody mentioned how the right option is Load and not Chamber?

    mp5s

    The gun in-game has 160 MOA, aka three times worse than a stock M4. Its barrel is basically a traffic cone. Try shooting a wall even up close and see how badly it sprays.

    How good is the Lomghorn supposed to be?

    It's 2x less accurate than the SkS and 3x more accurate than the other pistols.
  16. hotcakes

    mp5s

    I would like to mention that the gun's accuracy is so bad that its effective range is less than 5 meters.

    Is the AKM or M4A1 Better?

    If you can't do 0.008 - 0.04 I can't help you with that. These stats are direct fromm weapons_firearms and weapons_supports.

    Is the AKM or M4A1 Better?

    Do the math.
  19. My buddies has their gear stripped. I WARNED YOU ABOUT THAT HOTFIX, BRO.
  20. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/157E9LRDmu9SeGzdjYKfBausMNDjfYFefD-hJAYGdAe8/ Look up the stats for yourself. The Longhorn is about 2x as inaccurate as the SKS.
  21. hotcakes

    mp5s

    Dunno. I've seen a worn magnum before.
  22. hotcakes

    mp5s

    Spawns are random. Cleaning kits repair a damage to worn. It's usually useless because you can only damage weapons that are in your inventory.

    press Vest provides no extra protection

    He may have been using a vest that didn't refresh properly. The video was made a bunch of patches ago. They have always worked on my end. It has ballistic protection like the ballistic helmet does. There's no reason why it shouldn't work.
  24. hotcakes

    press Vest provides no extra protection

    It's false. He's firing .45 ACP which (wrongly) does about as much damage as 7.62x39.
