Sorry bud, but I don't play games without familiarizing myself with the game mechanics.
-
You can get the m4 parts' dispersion effects from daydb.
-
Drum mag is 2x2.
-
Damn shame too, since the ammo is so hard to manage.
-
If you empty the 75 round magazine, you get three stacks of 20 and one stack of 15. Wat.
-
It OHKOs on the torso area if it doesn't have much clothing/is bad condition. Your saving grace was getting shot in the legs.
-
7.62x39mm can OHKO badly armored targets. Not big news.
-
I punched a motohelmet wearing user 10 times in the head and it did nothing. Still no excuse for getting KO'd.
-
I got the jump on another player and we magdumped into each other for half a second with our M4s, then both died. Ballistics a shit.
-
Punkbuster kicks me if I have AHK scripts running. I stop them before I play PB games. *shrug*
-
I have two AHK scripts running at all times for desktop stuff. Hasn't affected me anywhere except Punkbuster games.
-
I personally never run moto helmets because I have people to play with so a newspawn can never jump all of us. It's your fault for not wearing one if you run solo. There's so much shock resistance that it probably blocks fire axe knockouts.
-
motorcycle helmet bye
-
Woah, are you a time wizard? Nuggets stopped being $100 since ages ago.
-
Please. I don't give a shit about newbies' special treatment. They can learn the ropes like everyone else.
-
Holy shit, a survival simulator giving accurate, insightful scenarios that may help people prevent the same mistakes? FOR SHAME.

The tac vest is like a U.K salt vest with lower absorbency. It was taken out of the loot tables because it looked like a life jacket, but you may come across an old character that has one. http://dayzdb.com/item/355-tactical-vest#/screenshots The ballistic vest afaik has never been released. It has the same exact stats as a press vest (in fact, the press vest inherits the ballistic vest's stats in the sauce code). http://dayzdb.com/item/356-ballistic-vest#/screenshots

Wrong thread.

If you log in as a freshie without a WARNING! message, you got killed. If you login and get a WARNING! message, spam escape out of that server as soon as possible and move to another one.

So I've been aiming strictly with the center dot lately...
hotcakes replied to Grimey Rick's topic in General Discussion
I cringed a little because this past update made the dot less effective. Because things in your hands sway and turn slower than your character, the dot is no longer representative of where you're actually aiming. Furthermore, firing also kicks the gun itself and unaligns with the 1PP dot. It might be fine if you're firing non-rapidly, but this means it affects the M4 the most. Firing the M4 in auto kicks the gun way to the left so you cannot really aim with the dot. I actually use the red dot now. I used to be able to scope in at ranges with the ACOG and shoot close quarters with the dot. Not really applicable anymore. -
You can currently set up walkie-talkie traps. You can camp on a hill or something, plant a walkie-talkie in a house and pretend to be chattering and other people might check the location. I've personally never done it because it takes too much effort.

Were you in Svetlo?

From what I understand, blood and health levels are both at 5000. When you get knocked unconscious, your shock level is either greater than your blood level or you have under 500 blood. You will die when you have 0 health. But apparently, bleeding doesn't doesn't cause health levels to drain. You can have a blood level of 0, some health, and be resuscitable. So why do some of my buddies die while unconscious before I can give first aid? Is it because they're respawning and not telling me? I can usually tell nobody is attacking them because we make sure the area is clear.
-
I was looking through the changelog and this might be it: Medical: Would never actually die from zero health or blood due to medical conditions Thanks gents.

Two of my buddies were eavesdropping on a conversation they couldn't pinpoint. Another buddy and I offer to breach the area for them. I went in there and shot all of these people to death. Some of them returned fire, but my press vest and my other clothing absorbed most of the damage. I looped around to check for stragglers, and the buddy that was with me accidentally friendly fired on me once, and I was still conscious. After a saline bag and some bandaging, I went back to the garages for a screenshot.
