IMO I'd take the AKS-74u over the MP5K. The MP5 does have a high rate of fire and it's better when you're a few feet away from the target. The MP5 fails once the target is past 50 yards. The bullet dispersion and low damage of 9MM rounds in this game make it hard to get solid kills. Where the AKS-74u is crazy accurate with no scope up to at least 200 yards, maybe more. It fires slower but 3 shots to kill if someone is running up on you is only .3 seconds. You might switch the MP5 to the Mosin for those 50 yard + plus shots but I don't think the Mosin is particularly effective at that range. It really shines 200+. Add in some weapon sway from running because lets face it no sniper wants to be in the 50 yard range of an opponent, geared healthy players taking two chest hits to drop and the Mosin falls flat with its low rate of fire.

I would say you probably didn't hit him twice in the head. If you hit him the first time, he would have dropped unconscious at the very least. AK101 is the better gun, keep it until you find an M4.

The only reason to use the lock pick at the moment is to slow people down and make the noisy if you're bunkered inside a building. (maybe safer to log out etc.) What they should do is add some unbreakable doors where you need a lock pick to open them from the outside. Like the door which doesn't open on the second floor of the police station and the door on the second floor of the military command/jail building. It would make the lock pick something useful when looting.

If you find a clip, you could give it to a sniper friend. Mosin/AKS-74u is a crazy combo. AK101 will always be better as a primary.

Had my press vest ruined today by a zombie hitting me from outside a building. Two hits and it was toast. After I went and watched all those video's. I shouldn't have gotten rid of my hi cap vest for it. I really don't think a zombie or human could destroy a kevlar vest with their bare hands. Vest should be basically indestructible unless shot or stabbed. Blunt force should do nothing to them. Same with ballistic helmets.

Honestly I think the solution is to put the mags and guns on the military/police zombies. They should still be walking around with them.

lucky son of a bitch. When I find this bug it's normally garages or construction sites. used to happen in experimental a lot at green mountain. Bonus when you pick something up or put it in a bag, something else immediately spawns.

I just ran from Stary Sobor to Green Mountain (Approximately 3000M) and my boots are still pristine.

The last time a guy tried to rob I was coming out of a house. The single floor ones with a giant storage room with shelves, kitchen, bedroom. I had a mosin on my back (no bullets) and a sawed off shotgun in my bag. He had an sks and told me to go back into the house. I said okay and as soon as I went though the door I ran out the back of the house in hail of sks rounds and pulled out the sawed off shotgun. He actually followed me through the house and when he came out I hit him with both barrels. My jacket was ruined and 4/6 cans of peaches. Bastard. In DayZ I'd rather die than just let someone steal everything. Even if you kill me you're going to ruin most of the valuable items I'm carrying before I'm dead. Close range moving head shots are super rare.

When they act like asses I like shooting them in the leg, bandaging them and leaving them in the middle of no where. Handcuffs are a +1.

It's not super uncommon. The most common place I find them is the 1st and 2nd floor of the construction sites. I've had good luck finding the mags in police stations.

That's really not that bad for a private server. It's a little more than other games but I imagine there's a lot of file storage, processing power and bandwidth required for this game to host 40 people.

It's an okay mechanic but a pair of boots should last hundreds of KM. I spawned just outside of Cherno and found a pair of pristine hiking boots and they were damaged by the time I left cherno. The only buildings I hit were the construction site, police station and firehall. No combat. They maybe lasted 1-2KM before they were ruined. Testing of shoes would have taken them 10-15 minutes to know something was wrong before putting it out for a week on experimental.

I only carry one drum. If you need more than 75 rounds at one time in the AKM, you're going to die.

You can never have enough worn/pristine nades. The first time I tried to use a grenade I was pinned in the office building on Green Mountain. I was on the main floor and trying to shoot around the conner and out the door. I pulled the pin and pushed G. It fell on the floor in front of me. I started to turn to run into the back room. The two guys who pinned me in were just coming in the front door and were much closer than I was when it went off. I'm pretty sure we all died... I started running back to green mountain but after 15 minutes or so the server reset. Moral of the story. Always hold G for two seconds then release... Oh also sometimes the nade will go through walls. I tossed one in a building and it exploded on the other side (outside) of the building. There wasn't a window.

I had this same problem. I'm pretty sure the more you run around the more water/energy you use. I eventually got Energised/Hydrated/Healthy by eating only water full foods like fruit and peaches drinking water until I was full and walking around when inside buildings.

I like it. neat vid. I always say "Hi" often I don't even have time to say "friendly" before they're shooting. I'd say about 50% of the time if I'm geared and I run into a geared player, they raise their gun to me and we start shooting it out. The other 50% I normally ask them what they're looking for and help if I can etc. If I'm not geared, people seem much friendlier. That said. I've never had a friendly encounter on the NWAF. People just start shooting instantly. I don't bother going there any more. Oh and if you're wearing a clone mask, it means you're already dead inside.

First they need to add an animation for zombie decapitation. Then they can add Swords and Garrote wire. Maces would be nice too, maybe improvised ones like a sledgehammer or aluminium baseball bat with welded spikes or something.

I bet you feel silly. There's no reason to rent a server at the moment unless you want to support the DayZ development.

You're lucky man. I spent like 20 hours this week and only found two sites. I got all the M4 attachments, but no M4....

Who here actually uses the flash light instead of turning the settings up?

The real problem is everyone looks the same in this game. Without name tags like other games it's impossible to tell Dave from Dan who just wandered into your large group and decided to unload on you. I've seen a fire fight video's of large groups and most people die from friendly fire.

So after running across the map to find this camp I'm a little pissed off. In the tents there was nothing but water bottles and tuna cans and one pair of damaged boots. There's a single building in the middle which had a backpack, apple, sks and a helmet. I left my reg server and joined 3 other servers with only 1-2 other players and searched again. Found nothing useful. Here's hoping they just haven't finished setting up the loot table, otherwise there's no reason to spend the 20 minutes running to this place. It's not even on the way to anywhere.

This games guns went to shit the minute they decided all the M4's, attachments and bullets would spawn randomly at three of 20ish spawn points across the map and no where else. It's not realistic that NATO would send in troops by helicopter which all crashed and they existed no where else in the area. There should have at least been a NATO base or a base shared with NATO somewhere on the map if they were operating in the area.

I've got a press vest on my 3rd person character. I've had it for a few months and it's the only one I've ever seen. I'd say it's probably one of the rarest pieces in the game right now. Or they removed the spawn for it. I'm kind of sad they're resetting characters because I'll probably never find another one.
