I want to practice some sniping with my SKS... any ideas?
hotcakes replied to Irish.'s topic in General Discussion
Svetlo. I'm not gonna specify where but it's obviously when you enter town where you can snipe from. In any case, don't snipe with the SKS. It's only good for around 50m. -
Doesn't matter, compensator still nospreads the nugget.

No, mosin damaged wasn't nerfed. The guys losing headshot kills probably hit the neck or something. Yes, there's a legitimate way to tank headshots of any caliber. No, I am not telling it to you. :^). My spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/157E9LRDmu9SeGzdjYKfBausMNDjfYFefD-hJAYGdAe8/edit#gid=0 The way clothes work is that their heath pools help you absorb health damage, but not blood or shock. Clothes with ballistic protection have a higher health pool against ballistics. Assuming clothes absorb all health damage, you can find max bullet-to-kill by looking at blood damage (not bleeding). Just divide 5000 blood by the blood taken away by each shot of a cartridge. For example, the math for 7.62x39 is 5000/593.75 for a maximum b/k of 9 rounds. This is the maximum amount of shots it will take to kill a target using this cartridge if their clothes tank all health damage. Max b/k for all guns is pretty damn high. There are builds in the game that let you absorb most health damage so it takes the max b/k to kill under perfect conditions. I've actually managed to run these builds a few times, and it's damn fun tanking every shot.

An Aussie friend of a friend said he found a grenade in Balota hangars. Can't confirm if he's talking out the ass.

Svetlo. Ironically one of the places I like the most.

http://www.twitch.tv/danaejosephine/b/544893786 Exactly one hour in. I was apparently shooting a streamer. I saw her run into the piano house and nicked her a few times. On her stream, I was pointing the wrong fucking way. Strolled up the staircase and magdumped her with my mp5k. I was getting shot at, and I remembered the netcode was bad so I backed off before I took too much damage. I got knocked out and woke up in a minute. On her screen? She didn't receive the magdump until AFTER I backed off. Look at the delay of literally seconds.
-
Has never been true for me. I can catch a guy on his side and still gib each other because there's a huge delay to bullets actually doing damage.
-
It's literally terrible. I'm wary of magdump scenarios because it usually involves both parties getting gibbed. Reminds me of Battlefield's kill tradings.

If you draw and undraw your gun you can push yourself out.

The M4's better in general, but now you can't find any ammo for it so...

After you explode a gas station IT EXPLODES EVERY TIME SOMEONE JOINS THE SERVER Did anyone do this for Fourth of July?

My buddies used this trick a lot. We were just talking about it.

Found an MP5K at NEAF on a 40/40 server, giving it away! :p
hotcakes replied to extremenuggets's topic in General Discussion
U wot? MP5Ks aren't that rare. -
Where the hell are people even finding grenades?
-
Trust me, I'm a certified crock dayzballisticscientologist. Having pristine everything helps you absorb shit. Like, did you know that a backpack helps you prevent getting one hit killed when you get shot in the front? Everything is possible when you wear pristine clothing. Don't settle for your brother's raggedy hand-me-downs, wear 100% pristine and absorb hot lead like a bull. :^)!

The maximum bullet-to-kill for 7.62x39 is nine rounds, assuming clothes tank most of the health damage. Keep in mind that max b/k is very high for most guns. You'll generally kill in less shots but you'll need to hit this many times to guarantee a kill.

Gun movement is not synchronized with crosshair...
hotcakes replied to Sputnik (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
I'd argue that most guns need to turn faster. The AKM doesn't weigh THAT much and it has more severe sway than the M4. I want the guns to feel like they're being jerked around. The current sway is like your character has spaghetti arms. -

hotcakes replied to Sputnik (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Everyone knows the gunplay makes no sense. Even the lighter weapons sway a lot when squared up. -
Picked up my MP5K stuff from a guy I killed. I saw another one on a rack of the popo station. 30 round mag came from some mil base.

hotcakes replied to Sputnik (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
It's a new prototypical feature called gun sway. Makes the gun turn slower than the character. -
Found a 30 round mag. It's one long and two wide. What the fuck?
-
Guess America ran out of helis to crash.
-
I haven't been there. My friends report that it's a kill zone because of the lack of cover.
-
I field-tested the MP5K against a group of around 10. It was okay for my close-up encounters, I guess. I would spray one guy down with the MP5K and then need to run away and reload to take out the next guy. The 15 round magazines really kill its potential. We wiped everyone out and the only guy that ate damage was my wingman, who got knocked out by gunshots twice. P.S Its rate of fire seems high. I'll have to find those 30 round mags if they exist.

One guy in my group said he saw a helicopter. That's where a guy killed himself with a grenade.
