If I'm running with a Mosin, then the MP5 is the best secondary so long as you've got space; that's personally my ideal choice. If I'm running with any of the machine guns then it's more a case of whatever gun I've found the clip / ammo for as they don't make much difference really; though I do love the Amphibia.

Also remember that with the character wipe coming in the next patch (could be next week, could be next month...) alot of people will just be deathmatching as keeping the character alive won't mean anything. After .49 hits you might find being the medic a better option. It also depends on where you are deciding to be a medic. If it's around Berezino then you'll get gunned down regardless, the entire city is essentially a KoS paradise at the moment and most likely won't change until the South spawns are re-implemented. Trust is certainly hard to find around there. Svet isn't quite as bad but it's still dangerous. Best bet (in my view) is if you want to help then get down to the factory, Solnichiy, Chernaya Polana or Mcta. Any of the smaller village spawns should be less likely to attract bandit attention. Also remember to only engage people when you've got the upper-hand; just running up to somebody instantly makes them suspiscious. Good luck with it though, always good to see guys just not going round KoS'ing.

No real harm in carrying extra cans of food, just incase you get shot up in the wilderness and need to get a bit of colour back. If you're going from town to town though it's a little less vital. On the other hand carrying water or cans of drink is a bit unnecessary with the sheer amount of streams, lakes and fountains about. At least until the water needs to be treated to drink. Problem is you'll never stop people from just hoarding it all or pigging out as soon as they see it; if it stops somebody else getting it, they'll do it!

It's a known bug, sometimes it throws the weapon when you've not pressed G; thankfully it's not very often. Had it happen to myself before as well as others.

Having no issues now, several servers and no problems at all. Might be worth a try guys.

Doesn't mean to say it won't ever be hacked though. As Jurassic Park taught us, "Life will find a way" ;)

Having both would add some variety, depending on your play-style of course. If you make it so the spear wears out similar to say a sewing kit it might make the hook & bait way more viable in the long run.

Sadly fixing hacking is something you just can't do, you just push it back. If you stop all the current hacks in-game eventually somebody will just come up with some new ones that'll start it all over again. Trying to get BE bans and wiping items is about the best way to go right now. Plus wiping the characters will get rid of quite a few non-hacking / non-scripting players who've picked up hacked mags or duped items, that's one plus point.

Yeah, likewise! It seemed ok on the first server I tried, but after that it went back to hell again. Oh well. Hopefully it'll be resolved fairly quickly. On Reddit there's a post saying they've contacted Battleye about it.

The 1911 used to spawn in Fire Stations quite regularly, but that might have changed with the last update.

Thought I'd solved it, but nope. Still buggered.

Crossbow quiver, contains 5 bolts. Haven't seen one in game for a while now though.

Likewise, same issue. Runs perfect for 15 minutes or so, then just drops connection. Only since the latest update though. A fair few other people have reported it on the bug reports anyway.
