I've built solar stills before and they worked remarkably. Granted, this is in rural North Queensland and not Eastern Europe, but if there is open sunlight it will work, just it'll be slower.
-
I already do this with canteens. I fill them with gasoline or disinfectant when entering into combat zones. You can fill them with any substance, in any container.

Bling bling time? Hell yeah!

Darryl Dixon claims another soul.

Anyone want to kill some bambis with a Sawn-Off Mosin now?
-
It wouldn't be good in a gameplay perspective. People wouldn't risk their lives to help their fallen comrades if they knew they're going to get back up in 30 seconds.

I shall paint myself with the blood of my enemies.

You don't need fertilizer, but it takes much longer without it.

Agriculture is great for campers. Hide the garden a kilometre or so away from where you're camping and killing people. When you get hungry, you won't need to rush into town to feed yourself, risking your life. You can take to the hills and woods and seek refuge at your garden for a feed, and water from the nearby slice source. That being said, I do prefer fishing for food survival wise. Fertiliser takes up a heap of space in your inventory, as do shovels and water bottles. A fishing rod on the other hand can be slung over your back and a knife for skinning fish and digging up worms can be stuffed in your boots.

Simple question for snipers - is a sidearm as a backup adequate enough, or should you use an SMG? Does the extra firepower justify the space sacrificed for something you're not intending on primarily using?

How one bullet 7.62mm in diameter manages to break everything in a backpack 1m long and 40cm wide.

I'm an opportunist, as someone who is all about survival. Every player is a threat, and to survive you need to remove all threats to your life, whilst taking as little risks as possible. So I don't always shoot on sight if they have the upper hand. I will let them lower their guard, then I will take them out. Groups I avoid where possible. And I only team up with people on Teamspeak, or naive players who I'm waiting to kill. I also ensure I carry a good knife on me at all times. Human steaks make a great souvenir for your travels.

Well I recently just had a close shave moment saved by a pistol. Was bringing an AK to my friend and dropped it on the ground, and my Mosin was slung over the shoulder. Just as he went to pick up the AK, somebody peaked and killed him with a CR75. I ducked to cover, pulled out my FNX, and we exchanged fire, with me hitting him once and him missing me. I managed to make him withdraw long enough for me to pick the AK back up and finish the job. You never know when that pistol comes in handy.

I confirmed a fox spawn too. The mountain seperating Nizhnoye and Solnichny Factory, with two deer stands on it. They have twice for me spawned at the southern deer stand on the mountain, near Orlovets.

The Community's List of Suggested Weapons for Dayz Standalone (Version: 1.29)
atempleton replied to alexeistukov's topic in Suggestions
My life is not complete with compact shotguns until the Chiappa 1887 is in. Especially if they add motorcycles and the ability to shoot from vehicles. -
Yes please!

The Community's List of Suggested Weapons for Dayz Standalone (Version: 1.29)

Sawed-Off Blaze anybody? -
I'd use the Chainsaw if the gas lasted a good 2 minutes and it could be carried over your back, but otherwise I'll stick to the sword.

What are you looking forward to most with 0.58 stable?
atempleton replied to billyangstadt's topic in General Discussion
I'm looking forward to the return of persistence mostly, and vehicle inventories. Those two features are crucial for making Day Z more than just gearing up and heading to the coast to shoot people and throw it all away. -
I think a 10 minute default respawn timer would be better to be honest. It will allow players to effectively be able to wipe out an entire player population in a city and face no more competition for a long time. It would also greatly discourage suicide to respawn.
-
I'm pretty sure that was WOBO you shot at. :p
-
Am I the only one who thinks the mod had better atmosphere?
atempleton replied to Sperglord's topic in General Discussion
The key thing the mod had over Standalone's atmosphere was the ambient music and fog. It was legitimately creepy. If implemented into Standalone, the atmosphere would be implemented. -
I've tried. Got laughed at by some fresh spawn. He wasn't laughing though when I chased him down and shanked him with the knife hidden in my jeans though.
-
There's no reason why somebody should die of hunger in one four hour play session either realistically, but that wouldn't be fun now would it?
-
Let alone it would have to be a hell of a lot of servers more. There's tens of thousands of people playing Day Z across the globe.
