Sorry, shoulda said I'll laugh at him while I am shooting him, with just about anything other than that .22. Keep believing that .22 is a worthwhile weapon. It doesn't do anything for your credibility, though. I would rather run around without any gun, than be seen with that over my shoulder. It makes me look like a potential threat, when I am not. Or maybe I am, but not a very good one. Budding at best. As for the guy apparently only talking about worthiness in relation to killing zombies, shooting them should be a last-ditch effort only. Unless you play alone, in which case shoot away. Good way to get better at aiming with various weapons and cameras.

If everyone seems to kill on sight, aren't you special for thinking you won't get shot by strangers in the game? I get KOS all the time. I wash the sand out and get right back into the game. If you ALWAYS get killed on sight, maybe you are just annoying?

My buddy did 3 hits to a fresh spawn last night after we saved him from a pack of zombies. He used the stun baton. 3 hits, nothing. It was loaded with a battery. After that we sent him packing with a chest holster, 1911, 2 clips, and 40 rounds. Fair trade for research.

The 22 is horrible. The only thing going for it is it is quiet. That way when you do fire it, you have a chance of not being heard/murdered. If you bring that thing to a gun fight, I'll laugh at you. I once knocked out a guy armed with a 22, took the weapon from him while unconscious, and popped one in his dome. Most useful I have ever seen the 22 be.

Im all for the extreme rarity of guns and ammo. Bring it.

Group size matters more than anything. When that sniper sends you to a respawn, your squadmates will kill him, and protect your gear til you get back. It is like you never died. Almost. And you get to take the snipers gear as well. In the end, a net positive for the group.

Those bodies were there before it was moved away from Balota.

Know what you need? You need guys with guns watching your back. When you don't have that, bad things can happen.

Are the decently populated servers shutting down every 15 minutes? Is this a known issue? If so, what is the issue? Can someone direct me to that knowledge? I feel like I can't be alone here in noticing this, but the forums here don't seem to be talking about it....

Find servers, and players, that match your style. You seem to not have problems running into people, what servers do you play in usually? Also, role playing by yourself is begging for you to be shot. If you had a group it would be much better for you. Really, it is your expectation that you will successfully be a lone-wolf in a post-apocalyptic event that is doing you in. Safety in numbers.

Same places as usual, just less frequently do they appear.

If you aren't entertaining, I am a bandit. If you draw your weapon while looking at me, I am a bandit. If you try anything cute, I am a bandit. If you flip me off, I am a bandit. I am always looking to add guys to our crew, but think about it, aren't most people morons, idiots, or worse, boring? Why would that make Day Z any different? Most people I come across in the real world I don't want to hang out with, the only difference in Day Z is I can shoot them to let them know this. Basically, there are few repercussions to killing you and taking your things. The only thing stopping me from doing so is my whim or your reasonable objection. Oh yeah. Guys with crossbows though, I will ALWAYS be a bandit and KOS all of you I come across. One too many bad experiences with guys with crossbows. Now it is personal.

That is why I like to roll with at least one guy armed with a Mosin and a lrs. Take your pick, our sniper or the rest of us, but once you start firing, we will find you.

I'll be testing that out on the first guy I capture. I have a spare helmet and an AK, gonna see if a headshot is survivable.

Look in civilian apartment complexes.

I find attachments in the barracks buildings, as well as pso-1 scopes. Loot is more rare now, though, so keep trying.

We are talking about just the tents, right? I have no problem with this, and don't mind things being more spread out, encouraging more traveling. The tents are hardly the holy grail as far as item loot tables go. What I really don't want to see are areas that become known for particular things. For example, I wouldn't want an area to be known for guys hanging out in the woods roughing it, because then that is where everyone would go to kill them. I don't want all the decent loots like this either. Spread it out all over the place.

Can you do me a favor and go into a full server and make a video in a town like Svet? Curious as to what your frames will be in a location like that, as opposed to out in a field. I am curious as to what your frames would be on the low end on that chip.

I shoot on sight sometimes for practice, for when shit gets real. When I need to use my weapon, I damn well would like to have some training in it, you know? For survival purposes. So I don't get shot.

Target practice. How do you expect a poor shot to improve? Also, for your other bits, how do you expect people to learn? I'd expect experience as a good answer to the question, and you get that by doing.

Let people say what they will, I also have words for them, and bullets to follow. Saying you will kill my family? Pure fantasy.

A fully-auto Mosin? Never heard of such... Edit- I wear mine with a ski mask underneath. Also, I think they slow you down, the helmets.

Hey op are you a FISTER??? Airborne 13F here.

Yes, pistol with a clip, I like the Makarov and 1911 myself. I use them when I am in a firefight and I'm about to come around a corner to kill. Hella accurate up close and personal.

How about keep your distance from guys better geared than you, and if you must engage, aim for the head and knock them out?
