Does AKM have toggle option for single fire?
Red_Ensign replied to Apom's topic in New Player Discussion
yeah if you click just light and fast it fires a single round, or two at the most. the ak's probably the easiest auto to do do it with, because the others fire faster. -
so my pack is full and I'm sorting through my gear, and I hear footsteps and there's a guy there. he looks like a new respawn and hasn't moved to attack me, so I type 'hey', and I'm about to ask him if he wants some of my gear. then I decide 'nah I'm tired I don't wanna type all that' so I put 30 bullets into him. sorry dude. I gotta buy a headset soon.
-
I AM a big man, thanks for being curious about my... size...
-
today I was killed by some jerk with one shot, literally in the first second of spawning in. he had to have seen me and been aiming while I was waiting for that 30-second countdown.
-
you might need tetracyclene antibiotics too. sometimes injuries get you infected and you won't start healing until you deal with that.
-
I've always been able to wiggle out by trying to step out sideways in different spots. usually I'm out in a minute or so.
-
bear in mind it's useable stripped right down too. people can barely see it on your back that way, so you're slightly less likely to get backshot for it.
-
yeah more character build 'slots' would be nice. when I wanna try something with a new character, I wouldn't have to sacrifice a guy I spent a week equipping.
-
sorry, I just looked it up on the 'map plus' page online - it describes it as 'generic office'. there's one opposite the doors of the cop shop in elektro if you need an example of the type. thought it was a hospital but I guess not. I edited my initial comment with the right info.
-
I always seem to find longhorns in that open room on the top floor of 'generic office' buildings (like across from the police station in elektro). I've found like 6 there. AKMs I find in barracks. I've had about 6 of those too, and I got them all playing very early in the morning. found my first m4 since they became really rare just this morning too. first helicopter crash I was the first player at. got 2 coupled mags and about 100 rounds of ammo too. currently carting that and an akm back to berezino - gonna leave one at the cop shop (haven't decided which yet) because carrying 2 rifles is inconvenient as hell. oh and I have a longhorn with me too. XD
-
today I ran into a guy with a swarm of zombies around him. I popped a couple of the zombies for him and I was about to offer him a longhorn I'd been carrying around but not using, when he starts taking shots at me. :-o no longhorn for you buddy. and you're a really bad shot. this was on a PVE server, by the way.
-
1. can people see what I type in chat, or does nobody see it? NOBODY responds, even when I offer loot or tell them where I'm leaving loot. 2. what's the deal with zombies on the ground sometimes being able to hit me nonstop after I've climbed way out of reach? when this happens it doesn't stop until my legs are broken and everything I'm wearing/carrying below the waste is ruined. sometimes I'm TWO FLOORS above the zombie. really?
-
found 2 longhorns today (actually within 10 minutes on the same server - weird because they're supposed to be really rare). I left one at the entrance of a police station where nobody could miss it and I might give the other away. I just don't see the point in it, other than the novelty. everything it does, a pistol or a mosin both do it better. is there something I'm missing?
-
What do you think the new zombie AI will be like?
Red_Ensign replied to Agilov's topic in Suggestions
for christ's sake don't make them smarter until you fix them being able to walk through walls and hit you from 2 floors below you. it's bad enough having dead people that run like cheetahs. -
Deer Stands - What Do You Want To Spawn There?
Red_Ensign replied to Katana67's topic in General Discussion
deer! or even better ZOMBIE DEER! -
you get your geared character back next time you join a server that has a good connection.
-
Something should be done about damage you can take
Red_Ensign replied to Kal_Zakath's topic in General Discussion
the only damage I'm not okay with is damage from zombies that are 2 floors below me. that's a real "f**k this game" moment. -
yeah I use the fnx45. 15 round clip and one shot will stop most zombies. I carry an sks too, but almost never use it.
-
in cqc 'oh shit' moments, a gun that holds only one round is a death sentence. you definitely wouldn't use this gun for that. it comes with a scope and yeah you can snipe with it. I guess the one advantage is you can conceal it, so people might not kos you for it.
-
I dump extra mags etc at police stations all the time, often with a lit flare to draw attention.
-
find daytime servers. think of it as roleplaying. if zombies were really wandering the streets, I doubt you'd be going outside at midnight with a road flare or feeling your way around. :-)
-
I stopped carrying the juicy loot in my backpack - if someone's gonna shoot me, let them get ruined gear. that helped me worry a little less.
-
Came upon a huge weapons stash in Berezino.
Red_Ensign replied to Doyal's topic in General Discussion
I've found a total of 13 rounds since the last patch, and haven't fired one. thanks for not making assumptions about my play style, forum troll. -
when gear vanishes like that, it usually appears one level down in the building. if I go downstairs I usually find it. (and hopefully the server doesn't kick you before you find it)
-
can people see where you're about to spawn?
Red_Ensign replied to Red_Ensign's topic in New Player Discussion
don't remember where - it was where I was when the previous server said 'the server stopped responding a minute ago'. I get that like 30 times a day.
