Through watching various videos on youtube about the mod, they seem to always know when somebody is close by because of zombies being around. If I spawn in an area, in this case the northwest airfield, and there are zombies about. Are they there because I'm there or somebody else? What about an area with no zombies, anyway to know somebody is around? My last 4-5 deaths were from other players camping an area. One, I opened a closed door and he was sitting there with an M4 waiting for the first sucker, yay me, to open it to kill. This last one, I was at the northeast airfield in a hangar and dropped to what sounded like SKS fire. I was looking towards the door and didn't see him, never saw anybody about. I don't mind if I get KOS, I just would like to know if there's something that might hint at me not being alone in the area.

Helpful guide. With proper spelling and punctuation, I'd be fully behind this being a sticky. Call me a spelling/grammar nazi if you wish, but stickies should look clean and professional. Just some constructive criticism. :)

I haven't read all the replies, so if somebody mentioned this already, sorry. The real problem with a lot of these arguments about something being too new or rare and such is rather obvious. The FNX45 and the mini RDS for it are both fairly new. If both of these are in the game, then IMHO, pretty much everything is on the table. I'm fairly certain both didn't hit the market more than maybe 3 years ago. A quick glance at google showed nothing pre 2012, so I may be wrong.

54r isn't superior. The harsh reality is, russian ammo is garbage for any accuracy. It's cheaply made bulk ammo just like the x39 and the 5.45 stuff.

The Mosin ammo thing annoys me too. All of the other guns have correct ammo, was this a typo or what? A LRS on a mosin isn't completely unrealistic. If you bubba one enough, you can mount one on it. I'm sure if you google it, you'd find one. People do it to use them for hunting and the russian PU scope is garbage. Mosins aren't very accurate IRL.....I'd be impressed if you could hit a person past 300 yards with one. An M4 barrel is good for thousands of rounds, tens of thousands. Unless they're used in war, the chances of the barrel being worn enough to affect accuracy is very slim. Take mosin nagants for example. I'm fairly sure they aren't made anymore, haven't been made since the 50s maybe. They're no precision rifles, but they'll get the job done within a couple hundred yards. And that's a 50+ year old gun. ETA: I haven't seen an ACOG in this game, so I don't know what reticle is in it. I do know that ACOG's come in a variety of different reticles and such. You can get them without the tritium, I believe. I know you can get something other than the red chevron that's so popular in FPS games nowadays as well.

This game is supposed to be a sim. Theoretically in real life, most places will have an abundance of firearms you could find. Some places not so much, not sure what the black market would be like in places like the UK, Austrailia, Japan, etc. In the US and middle east, I'm sure there'd be no problem finding a gun. BUT....After the game has been out a while, maybe a decrease in ammo spawns that would replicate how ammo would disappear over time as we'd have no way to produce the gunpowder/bullets needed to keep stocks up. So in the beginning of the games life, guns and ammo are everywhere, then after a period of time, ammo is extremely rare and guns are pretty much a blunt melee weapon. While I believe this to be a good idea (the last part), I'd bet it would end up killing the game as the vast majority of players wouldn't want to play a game like this without guns.

1. It was in the mod, so I assume it'll make its way here eventually. Doubt it will in Alpha, most likely late Beta or so. 2. I have no idea what satellite radio has to do with noob killing? But it's pretty much armageddon, the idea of a bounty system is a good thought, but realistically at this point of the survival game, people haven't reorganized enough to set something like this up. Would be an interesting addition later in the games life though. I never played the mod, but I believe in it you were randomly spawned somewhere along the coast, not always in the same little area. I'd hope it'll be more spread out when the time comes for them to work on that, late Alpha early Beta maybe?

If it makes you feel any better. The first time somebody shot at me I nearly had a heart attack and my hands flew away from the keyboard and mouse. Now I'm really jumpy with any sound I hear :/

Does loot not spawn in the tent village around the airbases? Going by the map I found online, it shows I can find weapons here, but I have yet to find anything. My PC isn't the greatest, so I'm not sure if it's just me or the game, but when I go into a big building, like a hangar, I'll walk through the whole thing and not see any loot, then I'll turn around and zoom in and stuff is there. Is the game not loading it right or is my computer being slow about loading it? Is there a way to open med kits, ammo boxes, and storage boxes without dropping them on the ground? They tend to disappear that way.
