It isn't unhealthy by any means imo. My hardcore character died tonight after helping two people and letting another live. 20 minutes latter while i was in some out of the way town north of berezino I was shot in the back two times while drinking from my canteen. Guy had the nerve to say sorry afterwards like it meant anything. Point is people in Day Z are douche's 80% of the time, so you're supposed to be weary of everyone. Day Z is an excellent antisocial simulator

I actually just found mine in the barracks at the balota air strip. I dropped my mosin, LRS, an ammo box full of ammo for the AKM, drum mag, two ammo boxes full of ammo, and 5 thirty round mags. All the ammo and mags I found while looking for the damn thing, and the thirty round mag I found underneath the bed in the barracks at zelenegorsk

Is this still around? I saw an RP server up earlier but I didn't join and I've yet to find it since.

Makes sense. After all the silo talk I'd still like to see an explore-able missile silo in standalone though.

Yeah, realized this after I posted it. A code and or keys would have to be find but until when or if that happened it'd be useless

Missiles and jets would provide for some interesting objectives for players, but if we're talking about if its real life could/should it be in the game, planes I doubt would survive an outbreak if they where left to nature, and you're average citizen wouldn't know how to fly them anyway. I think players fighting over a missile silo full of gear and with a possibly launch-able missile would be extremely fun if you ask me. Especially if this was on a full server and the missel could be launched at any location on the map, putting people in full servers at some extreme risk. As for the bases and barracks, each barrack building has what, 4 or 5 rooms with two beds per room? and there is usually 2 or 3 barrack buildings in any given area, that's at least thirty soldiers, so not counting the tents that's twenty to thirty or 40 soldiers per base. Soldiers who would also have an armory with various weapons and ammo for training/security purposes; ranging from smalls arms, LMG's and HMG's to explosives and even anti tank launchers. There's 4 different bases on the map, plus the two in the bolatoa airstrip, the large airfield, and the large airfields actually military base. The CDF had a pretty large soldier presence in the area. That's not even going into all the UN hints that have been dropped in the stand alone, which makes weapons like the M4 and the L85 extremely believable and defend-able as far as reasoning why they're in the standalone. Any amount of average military gear of Russian, American or British origin is ok in my book. I think you're looking at this from a PVP standpoint, where as I am from a killing zombies standpoint. Military gear and ammo should be in the military bases and airfields and there should be a fair amount of it per server restart, but these areas should also be frequented by numerous zombies. The only thing that would be unbelievable are things like .50 caliber sniper rifles, those would be too bulky and heavy for this kind of situation in real life and if they where ever added (god forbid) the ammunition should be EXTREMELY rare. Riot gear in large and small numbers should be in/around every city with a police station, and I think it should range from riot armor/helmets and even riot shields (not bullet proof) to lethal and non lethal weaponry. Tear gas like you mentioned would be great, but there should also be other police weapons like pump action shot guns, sub machine guns and tazers to pick up as well. I'd even be down to have riot zombies that take more than one bullet to kill just like the soldier zombies we currently have. Again, I'm looking at al this from a PVE or PVZ standpoint, not a PVP standpoint.

Why are people complaining about the grenade launcher? It's not like the zombies would eat all of the military gear or something. If anything military gear and riot gear would be some what abundant. Getting rid of the M4 is a stupid idea as well, if the outbreak started in Chernarus its completely possible other nations attempted to help like the US. If anything I think more US/UK/UN weapons should be added, but they just shouldn't be as abundant as your run of the mill Russian weapons. I hope when the zombies are fixed and more are added that they really frequent the airstrips and military bases in some what large numbers, making players have to work for military gear that doesn't spawn at crash sights.

I'm using my M4 while I hunt for the AKM to switch to. I prefer M16 series weapons in general, but I've boiled it down to witch kind of ammunition is going to be more common. I've noticed the AKM/SKS and mosin ammo are more abundant now so I'm swapping for the AK once I find it.

I've yet to run into a girl in Day Z, and I don't see why it'd make any difference.

So this thread is about you telling people how you're a douche and trying to justify it?

You could practically spit to the ocean from the Balota airstrip.

Jesus christ the amount of elitist in here is disgusting. It's a game, chill the hell out and play it.

All my kills so far have been in self defense, or in defense of someone else. I've only killed 7 people. The first one I met someone near the shipwreck and as we here moving to Berezino we found another guy. We where all fresh spawns and I had the only thing of value between the three of us which was a knife. We got separated while we where searching for supplies and when I found them one of them was attacking the other while he was running away, so I stabbed the aggressor to death. My second kill I again stabbed some one to death while I was traveling to Balota, he attacked me just outside kambiwobo with a fire extinguisher I shot three bandits to death in Berezino who where killing anyone on sight. I died soon after this though because there where five others. My last two kills happened in the NWAF, I was running from a zombie and explained to these two guys in the control tower I was friendly and just wanted to kill the zombie before leaving them to loot. They bot shot at me with only chambered pistols so I killed them with my M4. It's because of all that I try to stay away from people as much as possible, even if I have a better weapon than they do, most people I've run into can't be trusted. Unless they're from the UK or the southern part of the USA. Those people are very friendly and will help you out in an instant I've found.

'Dat Gorka upper doe

I'm actually having the opposite problem a lot of you are having. I have 6 30 round AKM mags, a PSO scope, AKM Ris and a foding stock, but for the life of me I can't find an AKM at ANY of the military bases, airfields, or police stations.

Because I'm a masochist.

I think people forget that these exist, the one near Balota is the first place I got when I die (the journey there is intense when you have no supplies and a melee weapon). I've done on full servers and while the airfield is looted half the time the military base goes largely untouched, even on 35+ populated servers.

Everyones complaining and I'm just sitting here patiently awaiting the AKM and new Tac vest

You need the RIS (Rails instead of the plastic or magpul hand guards) in order to use the standard weapon flashlight on the M4

If you find a magazine for the .22 pistol you don't need the M4 suppressor to work (yet). I'm sure it'll have a purpose in the future, same goes for the pistol suppressors. I'm not buying that that one guy ever served in the military. He of all people wouldn't be calling it a silencer if he had.

I as actually at Devils Castle last night. I found nothing besides a water bottle. It was a shame really, I wanted to atleast take out some zombies.
