in new to arma 2 and the dayz mod (the epoch thing) but are their any suggestions or tips you guys can give? I have around 170 hours on standalone but thought id try this for a while. read a few guides on the controls as i thought i would be fine but spent my first 35 mins getting killed by zombies while trying to find out what to do. also are their any ways to melee zombies?

i have just done the same, are you able to run it through the dayz commander or is that just for a list of servers?

is that the dayz mod for arma 2? or arma 3? i have no idea what the whole epoch thing is etc. looks really fun though :D

i always search the garages whether it be the row of garages or just the singles.

i have started doing the same, i have recently been exploring the north west of the map, their seem to be a lot of things to see which you miss when sprinting between areas.

loved that, make more :D loved the natives fighting to the death haha

thats 200 yard shot from a crossbow ;)

thats what i used, worked out 7-8 locations with ranges so atleast i know the avarage distance to take the shot.

yeah, i know long shots are kinda pointless as you have a 2second+ bullet travel time but in just curious if a 2000m shot would be possible, or would it be like getting hit with a .22 at 400m lol

yeah iv found many riders jackets, usually worn though, i found a pristine LRS though yesterday in berizino police station, and a mosin a few minutes later in the green and cream houses further down south in the town, was very lucky to be honest, first time I have ever found one.

i saw something similar but got shot on a server on Friday, a team of 2 mil geared guys getting overrun by a huge group of naked bambies mainly holding nothing but a few held crowbars.

in guessing you server hopped and somone killed you. Unlucky, on another note, why logout inside the building? Quite a high risk area.

i did play on unpopulated servers to start with but after wondering why i should spend hours upon hours searching for gear without interaction to only log and worry about losing it upon death gave me the question to answer. is it worth spending hours on your own looting area to then die by a bandit, or is it more fun to play on servers that are full and interact and maybe die ever hour or so. I now only play on full servers due to the fact i now know that i will die eventually, so why hide with a lrs waiting for a friendly player when i can as easily go out and find one myself. also with your thoughts on gear, i usually try to find any food or water possible, Il pick up a weapon if i see one but my main concern is food aswell as an item to open it with, knifes/ bayonets are quite common. Then go for your lesser needed items, military gear etc.

that's pritty cool, i always love it when a so called firing squad turns to a mass ambush, i have been in one set up by a friend a while back but their was only 3 of us sniping and 2 bandits, was quite funny though :D well played "pussy boy" lol

some nice shots, i guess id disagree with bambi killing if it wasn't to help your friend lol, keep up the factory of DOOOOM!

haha liked that vid to be honest, the fact your not bothered about losing the gear makes it alot more exciting as fire fights like that are awesome to watch, i have not been in one that size as of yet but im waiting haha. Great watch :)

nope, no idea of a fix but its still alpha, so its bound to happen, you might have been killed on logout by a zed or anything, its happened to me before.

yeah its a pritty well known bug, in the act tower aswell, iv seen people glitching through the downstairs wall so probably that happened.

i have only played the standalone but even then, the few people that i have killed which have deserved the bullet to their head has made me wonder why they find it fun, i made a post earlier about two friendlies i met today, one decided to shoot the other while defenceless, so i popped him. i think its all part of the game but its also a downfall.

yeah, like it has been said, the biker jacket spawns in most locations, i have found it mostly in the fire station or the white factory buildings in the lockers.

the problem is that 90% of "friendlies" will shoot you in the back given the chance, most only use that as a way to avoid being shot when cought or spotted first, welcome to the game where everyone is your friend untill you have something they want.

it looks like a great vantage point to shoot from but with it being a likely sniper point its most likely going to be the first place people look, on another note, how cool would it be to have base building and camp out up their :D

i was scouting out around the south western air strip and came across a guy laying in the grass. I know this area is usually a k.o.s zone but i have the guy the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he was scouting around ready to loot or something. we spoke for a few minutes and after finding out he was "friendly" we proceeded to make our way to the barracks. It was at that point which we saw which looked like a fresh spawn wearing a gray assault vest and holding a mosin with a bipod mounted. we checked out the rooms for left loot and made our way in the direction of the tower past the hangers, we saw the person come outside, put his hands up and drop the mosin, 30 seconds passed and i decided that he too was friendly, 2 on the same airfield was wierd but then i herd a bang. The first person i met had shot the unarmed guy without saying a word and then proceeded to move over for the loot. Im all for shooting to stay alive but i don't agree with shooting without them having a chance and that's after making me clear it needs to be done. So i shot him, i wasn't risking anything on a "friendly" who then decided that its easier to shoot than talk. Anyway, long story short, i now have a pristine lrs aswell as the mosin it belonged to. i spent 45 minutes running the coast looking for its owner with no luck. Sorry to the guy who got shot in cold blood. but thankyou for my new toy.

i have got to admit that's one thing I love about the game, the fact their is literally no one to trust and every action you make can be the beginning to an end.

i was considering this but in assuming people will be all over it, a nice location with a tower would be nice, but in thinking the radio station/tower will be over-run, good idea though, the cave on the south coast in the mountains could be a good spot Il take the devils castle ;)
