Never found one ever. In the end just threw the gun away. Pity. I thought it might be a pretty cool stealth zombie kill gun, but one shot the inventory just doesn't cut it. Found plenty of the rotary 10rd mags for the ruger, and some weird wiki said yeah use them, but obviously not. No problem finding other weapons or mags for them. Just that one. So I sympathise with OP. nvm. .45 + run like hell seems to work for me :D

Have you tried trackies yet mate? I came across a lovely pair of lime green tracky pants the other day heh. It didn't occur to me to try to rip rags from them. My guess would be no, but I dunno.

I too am an "oldtimer" heh, and I couldn't agree more mate. Very cool post. Have some beans.

Hey man. I'm far from pro at this game, but this is how I go about it. Oh and also I just play alone. So if your in a group, a lot of this wouldn't apply. 1/ Fireaxe. Always fireaxe. I've had mine for over a week on this character, taken out heaps of zombies, and it's still in pristine condition. Wear and tear doesn't seem to be an issue with them. 2/ Just avoid them if you can, even 1-2 hits can ruin some of your gear. I got hit just a couple of times, went to reload my M4 later on, and found that my ammo box, and all the ammo within was ruined. Couldn't use it. 3/ If you can't avoid them, but you're out of their line of sight ie. not aggroed, Just use your walk button [shift] and walk up behind them. You don't even need to crouch, in fact they hit YOU in the head now if you crouch, so I just don't bother. You can usually whack 'em a couple of times before they get the picture and arc up. Even after the patch, I've 2 hit killed zombies. I assume that was because headshots. (It's hard to tell, like old matey said, look for where the blood comes from and adjust aim accordingly), in any case, if you get them twice, you really only have to do the strafe dance for another 2-3 hits. 4/ There's no need to run around madly doing the circle jerk. Look at their animation. They telegraph when they're about to strike from a mile away. A quick sidestep then will avoid a hit every time. Also, take zero notice which direction they're facing, and how far away they are. If you don't move, they'll still hit you pretty much every time. 5/ If you see one aggroed from 100 metres away, just run. They're not that hard to lose using buildings and foliage to run around and kill the line of sight. But they're damn fast so do it quick. 6/ Never EVER run up a hill to escape, the lil' buggers don't slow down. Unlike you. Choose another route. 7/ Never fight them indoors unless there's no option. ie. You're cornered and can't get past it. This goes double if they're floor glitched. Makes 'em so damn hard to hit and you're almost certain to take damage to that sweet sweet gear you have. 8/ This has been said by pretty much everyone, but the sweet spot seems to be about a head above their head. If you put your white dot on their head, you WILL hit their body. Again, just look for the blood. 9/ For multiples, well, never take a knife to a zombie fight. You're gonna get hit. If it is not feasible to run, pull out any gun that has more than 2 shots. I just use an FX .45 or an M4. Then run like hell because you've just alerted every player and zombie in the area. Remember that just one random hit can break your arm, (not such a big deal), or your leg, (A much bigger deal). If you are undersupplied and that happens, you're as good as dead. That's about all I can think of. Everybody does stuff differently, that's just how I myself do it. Oh, and also, I'm a newb. Well for a few weeks at least. This kiwi wishes you the best of luck bro.

That is truly awesome. Although a rarity sadly. But damn. I'd jump on a foreign server just to give that guy/gal beans.

G'day. I'm d0g from Australia. 44yo single parent carer for my disabled daughter. So get a bit of time to game. Run AuG which is a BF clan primarily so the less said about that mess of a game the better. Had a pretty large DayZ group in the mod days, but they formed their own DayZ clan and are mostly still playing the mod. So I am pretty much running around lone wolf, so neither bandit nor hero, just whatever the situation dictates. If I joined a group, I'd gravitate toward hero as that's a whole new difficulty level I reckon. Long time reader, first time poster. So see you around the traps guys.

That's some cool ideas man. Give this lad a promotion :D But seriously, not sure about the insta-kill from a snapped neck scenario, at least without some pre-requisites or something. Also, further to the choke hold which I think is a fantastic idea, Maybe an option for the victim to struggle? Sort of the way you break out of handcuffs maybe. Good post mate.
