So watch your screen as your character comes on the server, if it says anything about a default character being loaded then Exit that server immediately, do not move or look around, just exit and try another server, preferably the one you were on before you logged out last. If your old character does not appear at that point then yes, you have been wiped.

No need for a bowl, just use the bag the cereal comes in or use the cooking pot. I always did like the idea of chopping up my potatoes adding some zucchini and venison to a frying pan and seeing what comes out. With a side of beans and peaches for dessert, naturally. We need vacuum packed crackers/hardtack also so we can mix that with the peaches and powdered milk for field expediant peach cobbler. If there are Chickens in game then where are the eggs? That means we need canned corned beef hash too.

Hmm, I did this to myself by accident and was sort of freaked out by it. I took it off in inventory and it worked fine.

Oh come on, you KNOW you want a tracked UAZ. I mean only my wife wouldn't want this. And if it was amphibious, oh man, I would not have to suffer with H1 and I could beach assault my way in to work at Waikiki.

Yeah, but there is ALWAYS a rich crime lord, his minions and corrupt officials that have cars other than the usual Moskovitchs, Ladas or UAZs. After the fall of the old SU Moscow blossomed with Mercedez Benz's, BMW's and others almost over night.

Not one modern car though, in all of Cherno, except the HMMWV. No rich guys in Cherno I guess.

Modern day, because of the M4 and it's attachments. Also because the Russians didn't call the Police by the name Police until 2011, before this they were known as Militsiya.

Luckily, with persistance, items you thought you equipped will still be there. Except for the crash sites of course, but stuff on the ground will still be there. No more loosing half the shit in your ruck due to restart while you were transfering items.

Oh that just blows. Sorry dude.

They have been in since animals were introduced actually.

Don't forget this is Russia not Missouri. Russian police, typically, have AK's coming out of thier ears. Who do you think really carried the burden in Chechnya? It was the militarized police units once they figured out the Army was not trained for that (not to mention being seriously pissed off at being sent into what they thought of as another Afghanistan). Yes, they have fully equipped armored (T64) and mechinaized (BMP) police regiments in Russia. Even the formerly known as Militia units (renamed Police a few years ago) have tons of AK's. You can't just dump them out of the game. http://www.ospreypublishing.com/store/Russian-Security-and-Paramilitary-Forces-since-1991_9781780961057 Yeah, the M4 should be so rare that it is non existant, in fact, I would not be sad to see it out altogather.

I wouldn't call that server hopping. That's a bounce, which I only do after I get the 5 min warning, I'll log out of one and bouce to my secondary until I get the five min warning there, then it's back to the primary, etc, etc. Lately though I have been on secondary only since my primary is stuck in a reboot loop. With loot spawn the way it is now it'll be way easier to camp out and kill the hoppers anyway.

The Handy Man's Secret Weapon for sure. Should ought to be able to fix/repair rucksacks/rain jackets/boots with it too. And, of course all these that follow; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjnC9Jmo_6o

We shall shoot each other then. I won't put mine up either, not for anyone, ever, nearly every encounter I've had has been hostile, so I tend to avoid everyone anyway. Some started as friendly but ended up hostile as the intent was to lull me into feeling safe, I fell for it once. The next time it happened I could the guys buddy in the background telling him what to say I didn't let on and got the hell outta there. In Voice Chat, when I hear the word "friendly", I click the safety off on my Makarov.

Additionally if they have it out and talk to you ask them to put it up, if they don't, then shoot.

OOOOO Foraging Theory in a game!!! This is what it should be based on, it's all worked out, follows your number 2 closely, me likee. http://www.tiem.utk.edu/~gross/bioed/bealsmodules/optimal.html We be locusts, this old theory that "Natives lived in Harmony with Nature" is bollocks. Never happened, humans always adapt the environment to themselves. We would forage an area out and move on when we could get no more out of it. Neanderthals may have been like that and that would explain why they disappeared.

It's not listed, I like Gorka Summer or Autumn Patterned tops with a solid green or beige cargo pants, military boots and a pilotka when not actively fighting. I'll also use a Smersh pack as an assault pack.

Yeah, but when you are bleeding with a broken limb it can be a bitch.

I have found the Mak on the red cars that you can't open the doors on, on police cars, in police stations and on bunks in barracks and jails.

I would prefer that the wrecked HMMWV's just start spawning NATO gear from time to time.

You mean like they do now? Gah, it can be frustrating when it's 3fer or 4fer and they spawn ON TOP of you.

In Experimental, currently, yes, it's a bit better than it was. I've had some that took two hits with a fire axe before they went down but that is not the norm.

Yeah, you are most likely right, I have been avoiding those places lately since there ain't much there nowadays and there is usually a few more zeds than are worth the trouble.

True dat! Can't use the one that goes on the Mosin (M98?) for skinning.

Melee is much better in .48.
