Mookie (original)

Unless you're a sniper or part of a sniper team, how much real use is it? I have a powered one somewhere, but have never used it in practice.

I found one in a Russian (Mi-8) crash site yesterday. Was actually inside the wreck. I've never seen one in a barracks FWIW, but have probably just been unlucky.

I'm liking that slightly camp, hand on hip stance Irish. Doesn't wearing a ghillie mean you can't have a vest or backpack or something similar?

George, I need one...

Crucial flaw in plan spotted :P

It's easily confusing... Since 0.49 update, when a server restarts the doors are either open or closed, depending on the building type (so barracks are usually open, for example). However, it also seems to be the case that door status is actually persistent. So if someone closes an open one, it will remain closed on restart. How this interacts with the point above is hard to say. What this boils down to is that it's much more difficult to tell if a building has been looted from the state of its doors.

All regular, stable: Have: Blackskull balaclava (P) PSO-1 (P) CR527 magazine (full) (P) Rangefinder (with battery) (P). Looking for: BUIS

Hundreds of M4s spawning in huh? You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about... Not only were you wrong about duping in 0.50 stable, you felt able to reach you usual judgement without, uh, actually playing stable. Back OT, nice idea, but can't believe that's going to end well.

Every other post of yours accuses the community of 'posting drivel' . I suggest you give it a rest and develop a sense of empathy.

I probably would have too. Nonetheless, as remarked above, it's crappy, naïve PR, and a mistake that's been made before. It alienates many people who haven't only bought a product, but who have bought into a kind of service (we're testing the game - remember?)

This is like the weapon ranking thread on New Player. But it's rock, paper, scissors. Within 5 meters, the MP5 might, just, be better. But as an all-rounder the AKM wins hands down. And actually there are many stories about those weedy 9mm rounds not doing what they're supposed to - even at close range. Not many similar stories about 7.62x39, even including player incompetence.

Lots of games have little Xmas things. In Eve there are fireworks and snowballs. In WoT your garage gets decorated. It's a nice touch. It's not very post-apocalyptic though I guess...

Two words for you George. Grenade launchers. :o

I have both Magpul and CQB stocks, and swap them out according to taste/context. The difference in dexterity is not subtle. Agree the Blaze is actually very good.

Love the idea of these. But Electro wouldn't be my first choice for a location...

If you're lucky enough to find one, and mags, then FNX. Rounds are actually more common in o.50 (eg Myshkino tents). Otherwise, yeah Magnum.

Killing wildlife with axes can be done if you sneak up behind them. Killed a deer like that last night. Saves on bullets!

This. Many (most?) buildings seem to me to have consistent (non-persistent) door positions after restart. Which I kind of prefer. It's just that this consistent position is sometimes open, sometimes closed depending on the building.

Mmm. I don't think it works like that in 0.50. In 0.48 there were three UH60 (smoking, NATO) crashes per server restart. Life was sweet for crash hunters and traders like me. Then in 0.49 they were mixed in with new Mi-8 (crap loot, non-smoking, Russian), so chances of finding a UH60 fell. Life became hard. In 0.50 the suspicion (as yet unconfirmed) is either that they have now also been mixed in with police car spawns (which seem to be dynamic again, as they were in 0.47), and/or that persistent servers aren't spawning them. This is, in practice, counterbalanced by what seems to be an enormous M4 duping industry around Electro/Cherno. The only way to really run crashsites now is by doing so on non-persistent servers, with very long runs taking in the majority of the potential spawn sites (slightly easier, as many of the southern/Balota ones seem to have been deleted). Even then your chances are still significantly lower than in 0.49. I basically don't bother looking for crash sites now - I just run around in the west doing other things, hoping to see one once in a blue moon.

I think that partly depends on what people have been taking elsewhere. Also suspect that lots of good stuff (eg PSO-1s) is hidden under the piles of Gorka clothing, berets, boots and helmets. I've seen piles of AKs (varying kinds) in lootgasm barracks, but usually only a couple of mags.

Do tell pls!

On lootgasm servers SKSs are everywhere. On non-lootgasm servers there are usually at least three at the Myshkino tent camp. Sorry, but trade-wise they're not worth much.

I do know, but thanks for the heads up. Also, what's "Protestant storage"? Is there...Catholic storage? :D

HAVE: AK101, plastic guard, rail guard, plastic stock, folding stock AK101 mags x2 (both full) Blackskull balaclava Purple polka dot bandana (useable as facemask) All P. WOULD LIKE: Tent. Smersh vest. Thanks.

Yeah, you can always beat yourself out. So to speak.
