Use stealth and an axe.

If you really want action, stay on the move inside the cities. I'd think sniping from a building's second story would be much better. Though you wouldn't be able to go prone, you'd be much closer and actually be *in* the action.

I'd say it's probably a good year or two into the apocalypse, and that the Chernarus population was a bunch of rednecks that collected rusted cars on cinder blocks. They have said that the 'zombies' are actually infected humans though, not really undead.

333.

Last time I used the sporter, you could chamber it by pressing f. Not sure if I was on experimental or not. Also, I found an SKS in a building that I've never seen a gun spawn in on a experimental server, an unlooted two story red wood-panneling house. So I guess they have guns spawning rarely in civ places in the works, either that or they always did and are just extremely rare.

I found a pristine copy of The Art of War that has served me well in my travels ^_^ I would like actually 'useful' books though once we get base building and vehicle repair/customizing, as in you have to 'read' (use) a book on carpentry to be able to construct wood walls/barricades or find a specific car's manual to begin repairing it.

Couldn't resist :P On topic, since there are pretty much always going to be hackers, I hope they can come up with more than god-mode/tele/infinite ammo crap. I kinda wanna see some of the game changing stuff I heard they've done in the mod. Would much rather get turned into a woodland critter or some other crazy stuff than get tortured by a god-mode kiddie. Edit-so-as-not-to-seem-pro-hacker: It'd be great if we had some kind of way to totally prevent people from hacking, but as long as we can play online together we'll only be able to catch them after the fact.

Axed the crap out of an innocent (but geared. Splitter axe and pack at least :( ) player that ran right past a room I was in and spooked me in one of those two story corner cafe/apartment buildings on a hardcore experimental server. The guy was managing his inventory, I think checking the quality of his pack with one that was on the bed, he didn't know what hit him. I turned the corner after the murder to see where he had set up a gas stove and cookpot that was steaming away and immediately felt 10x worse about killing him. I fled after a failed attempt to loot his body, it had glitched into the bed and I didn't want to stick around because I felt like a murderous bastard. I came back to the scene of the crime a few minutes later after I gained some courage and curiosity, only to be almost axed by someone that picked up the dead guy's splitter axe (confirmed this after going back to the room with the body in it and seeing a shovel on the ground that wasn't there before). I got lucky and ended up breaking his legs with my fireaxe, ending hostilities. I apologized for killing his friend (all in text chat, which it seems no one uses...), if that was his friend. He didn't try to kill me, though he was silent. Luckily there was some wooden sticks in another room, where I had dropped them in a panic after seeing the first guy run past me oblivious to my presence. I told my failed killer where they were, and left the building after exchanging a few waves, unsure if he even understood what I was saying. So I spend the next five minutes or so wandering around Svetlo (which is where I spawned, weirdly enough), found an SKS and rounds and more food than I could use. I decided to see if that guy had found the sticks or not. I get to the second floor, no sign of the player or the sticks so I heaved a sigh of relief and headed back down. Next thing I know, I get hit, turn and see a freshspawn with a fire extinguisher, my axe still on my back. One more hit and boom, unconcious, ten seconds later You Are Dead. TL:DR, Don't ever return to the scene of a crime. You may get lucky, but eventually it *will* run out. Also, if you're any of the people involved in this, thanks. It was the most fun I've had playing. Sorry for the first guy though, I was scared and felt empowered since I had such a drop on you I guess, after being KoS'd so many times I was sure you would too. Which I guess we'll never know. Really hope you didn't take it too hard if you were a friendly player :blush:

Ouch. Just a suggestion, for anyone wanting to test how loyal a rando buddy is. Say you're gonna afk, keep your back to a wall and your gun up, don't move for the next few minutes and blow em away or axe the crap out of em if they come at ya.

Devs said they will do a Mac version after release, they have a hard enough time just trying to optimize it for PCs it seems. Remember its in alpha and every little patch fixes two things and breaks ten, totally overhauling it so Mac users can get in on the buggy goodness would be counterproductive. Just use bootcamp for now if you really want to play, it won't hurt anything that you can't fix easily (if it 'hurts' anything at all), I'm sure.

Man gotta love the butthurt generated when someone calls cowardly racists out. I mean, I say some reaaaaly bad shit around my (white) buddies, but at least I have the balls to actually admit its racist. (Also not *silly* enough to put it in a video and not expect people to legitimately call me out on it) Nice shooting a D/Cing player OP.

Not for me. It's actually pretty useful if you only play in third person. I wouldn't miss it though.

Log out, switch servers and attempt to sprint out before the server loads the buildings (double tap W while the screen is black from loading). It may take quite a few tries but it should work eventually.

When zombies die, they respawn within so many meters (up to 200 I think?). What I think happened, some bored guy was using his SKS to take out a horde of zeds he gathered (actually pretty fun) and the majority of them happened to spawn within sight of you first rather than SKS guy. Edit: Just to give an example, I was brushing up on my sniping at the tent area at NWAF, shot a few zeds in the gated in zone. Two seconds later I'm looking out at the fields towards Bashnya (prison in the woods where you were at) and I spy zeds popping up in the field and near the treeline, not aggroed on anything yet since they spawned so far away.

A history class huh? In COLLEGE! Wow, you've capitalized it so it must be VERY important. Also, just in general, any fool that thinks women aren't capable of violence and 'all they care about is romance and drama' has not lived a life worth living. Either that or they're ten and can be forgiven and taught the error of their ways.

I thought this as well, then my parents kicked me out of the basement and I got to live in reality-land. Which isn't anything like the ridiculous stereotypes and ignorant generalizations you've made with this post.

My char's life for sure. Gear is nothing, but the longer I live on a char- especially if I've had many player interactions be they good or bad, makes me value my char's life more and more.

From the tents I guess? Found four in a single run today, not counting the one I found the day before in a camo'd building. None of them were pristine, unfortunately. Edit: also found several acogs and a few of the pistol rds. Also pistol mags out the wazoo. TENTS ARE OP

Full map, compass, axe, and gaslamp.

Try restarting steam and running it as Administrator. Worked for me.

Go into Elektro, drop your backpack for the first freshspawn you see, don't give them any weapons, but rather parts you can't use that are valuable, mags etc. Then go run around and kill all hostiles :P

I don't want guns on spawn, but rather the ability to craft a primitive one at get go if you find the right materials (a la improvised courier bag). Would even the playing field a bit on populated servers.

To answer your magazine question, the LR 22 mags can be found in police buildings, barracks, hangars, prison buildings, at least that's where I've found them, haven't found the pistol mags yet. As for damage values, I saw someone pull up what looked like item stats directly from the game files on here, if that makes any sense? Not weapon stats, but I'd imagine you'd find that there too.

I take it you've never read any stories or seen any videos of police and soldiers needing bigger and bigger guns because small calibers pass right through their combatant and they can keep on fighting due to the adrenaline in their system?

Heh, get beat up by a fresh spawn you were trying to kill? Anyway, it probably has more to do with your own shock/blood levels than the weapon damage.
