Posting just one would show us that you are not full of shit. Its FAR FAR easier to run up to someone and blast them with a 60 round STANAG mag M4 than it is to hit a moving target, from elevation, from 800m+ with a LRS Mosin.

Lets see your videos of 800m+ shots on moving targets then

This is my contribution to the "snipers are nasty players" mentality a few of you seem to have. http://youtu.be/O2y9j1uHC2Y

We found a truck up north and drove it through NWAF and Vybor military base. We decided to leave it at the base as bait and retreated to deal with the shakes from being cold.

Hydrated and Energised need to be bright green, not dark green.

Take that Mosin and snipe the heads off all of them :)

Fantastic contribution from you there. I dont know if they will do a sequel, but they might do expansion packs with new content and items. Who knows. We will have to wait until the game is finished to even consider what the future holds for DayZ

Here are a few of my tips for a new player. *Get off the coast as soon as possible. You will have a greater chance of finding food away from the coast. *Get yourself an Axe, Machete, knife (or make a stone knife) and put it in your hands and go up to a bush and when the [Chop Kindling] icon pops up, press F. You should now either have 3 sticks at your feet or in your pack (if you have room). Leg breaking is a common bug in DayZ and you can make a splint with the stick and a rag or bandage. You can also look at the ground in a forest and [search for Kindling] if you don't have an axe/machete. Morphine does the same job and only takes up 1 slot *You can drink from ponds. You can also drink from water wells *Keep eating and drinking until you see "Energised, Hydrated, Healthy" icons next to your character when you press Tab. These icons need to be bright green, not dark green. You can continue eating when you are Yellow Stuffed, but stop on Orange Stuffed icon *You can press Tab to pick up objects in your vicinity (see the left hand window when you press tab near an object *Keep your most valuable possessions in your backpack. Zombies usually attack you from the front as you try and hit them and can destroy your Jacket. Putting valuable items like rags in your trousers is also a bad idea as you may break your leg and ruin everything in your trousers. Put them in your backpack or spread rags around on your clothes so you have some in your jacket, trousers and backpack. *You can use a Sewing Kit/Leather Repair Kit to stop bleeding and repair clothes/bags rtc. Bandanas, Tshirts, Hoodies can all be torn into rags. *Use melee items to open cans if you don't have a can opener *Dont use the aiming dot to melee zombies with. Each weapon has its own swinging arc you have to learn. The dot is for gun aiming and picking up items. *To kill zombies, strafe/circle around them while hitting them. Dont stand still. Punching/hitting them in the head will knock them out and you can run away. If you have trouble, run into a house and lock the zombie inside or keep running and you will eventually lose them. Dont kill zombies with a gun as they can respawn and it will alert other players that you are near. *Build a fire if you are too cold (Sticks and rag/book/bandage to make the fireplace kit, then add more sticks or chop down a tree for a log and put it on the fire, then light with matches). Or jump in a pond if you are overheating. *Some of the better melee weapons are Fireaxe (kills Zeds in 1 hit), Splitting Axe , Sledgehammer (2 hits), Hoe, Pickaxe. Things like the crowbar, wrench, pitchfork are not great melee weapons. The fire extinguisher is a great PVP melee weapon. *Jogging instead of running will burn less calories and water. Its advisable to jog as much as possible until you have a good supply of food/water *When you spawn, if you find some wire and you have some sticks and a knife/machete, make a rabbit snare and place it in a wooded area. Loot the nearest town then come back after 10-20 minutes and hopefully you will have a rabbit you can skin and cook on a fire. If you find some seeds, all you need is a shovel, pickaxe or hoe to dig the ground and plant the seeds. for every seed you plant you will get 13 tomatoes in 10-15 minutes (you need to water them with a water bottle or grow in the rain). You can reduce the growing time by adding "Garden Lime" before you plant the seed. If you find a plastic bottle, you can cut it with knife/machete and put it in the water at the coast to trap fish. again fillet them and cook on the fire. You can also fish in ponds, but you need more materials to do so. *If you find a rope and a burlap sack, you can craft a backpack. Add sticks to make it a 20 slot bag. Find a Wild Boar, kill it (run at it head on and melee it before it turns and runs - might take a few attempts) and skin it (with knife/machete) you can use its skin to upgrade to a 25 slot, and coolest backpack in the game. Kill a deer and you can make the skin into a Leather backpack. You will also get steaks form animals you kill you can cook on your fire. Be careful and keep an eye on the food as it burns really quickly after its cooked (about 15 mins after you put it ont he fire). Stoves/Gas Canisters dont work properly yet. *Pistols and Ammo often spawn on the very top roof (accessible by ladder) of the firestations. *Saline Bags + IV Start Kit can replenish blood if your screen is losing colour. Unfortunately you will need someone to administer it to you, you cant do it yourself

Its not 100%, but its very high

Hacksaws spawn consistently in the tiny grey tin sheds which have a little roofed area on the left of it which doesnt have walls. They spawn in the side part along with splitting axes. EDIT: I see someone else has already posted where they are.

Spawning in Prig, I found materials to make a backpack, Repeater and an axe...very good start. No ammo though, and when I take a shot entering Elektro. I flank round to investigate.

Sorry, your post bored me. Couldn't read it all.

I'm happy with constructive criticism. What you posted was that you were bored. That isn't constructive in the slightest. Its more obstructive. Not all DayZ videos need to be about "OMGZORS 1 v 25 Elektro Mayhem". One man's trash is another man's treasure Also, I'll post whatever I feel like as long as its within the forum rules.

Super. You could have saved even more time by not typing that it was boring on this forum.

Thanks for the comments there "Mr Inability To Read". Now I will point out why you are full of incorrect assumptions and bullshit. 1. Minor point, he didn't bandage, he ate food. 2. As I said in the video description, I was shot at with a Mosin when entering cherno from the main road so I flanked round to the coast to find the guy who tried to kill me. 3. The dude was camping the top of construction site looking for me and other bambis to kill. 4. I was sorry for killing him in some regards. Its crap to have to re-gear, but the dude shot at me completely unprovoked from about 3-400m (I didn't try and punch him out or attack him to make him do this). Should I bring him a bunch of flowers instead of an axe? 5. So its my fault now that I took advantage of the game mechanic? You take advantage of game mechanics every minute you play this game (3rd personing, resting before shooting, putting ammo in your gun), or do you stroll down Cherno main street with a burlap sack on your head proclaiming your love for the world in side chat? You are aware that he could have cancelled eating and ran as soon as I climbed the ladder? 5. Its a game. You folks who without even bothering to find out full information, lay judgement on people for what they do, its tiresome. You have a supposed higher moral integrity, but I bet my left nut that you have killed on sight before. Almost everyone has at some point, be in in panic or fright, shot at someone or taken advantage of a situation. The vast majority who says they havent are probably lying. I play it my way, not your way. 95% of the time I do interact friendly with people (as I can attest with my body of work on Youtube).

Ah I didn't know F2 also worked. Will try that next time. Thanks

Just in case you dont know about the current bug which randomly prevents splints being made or applied Put bandages/rags in your hand. Press F11 and drag sticks onto your hand before the animation finishes and a splint will be made instantly. Put the splint into your hands, press F11 and apply the splint before the animation finishes and you are sorted.

Phantom arm breaks are a Mosin snipers worst enemy. When you get hit from Zeds, there is a chance you have a broken/damaged arm , but the game isn't telling you so, and this introduces impossible sway at 4-500m+. Its also essential that you remap your hold breath key to another key if you use RMB to zoom the LRS. Before taking up a sniper position, splint yourself. I almost exclusively use the Mosin and get plenty 800m kills. The only thing that annoys me is that its often difficult to see where your shots are landing at 700m+ so can be hard to adjust aiming. Sometimes they dont visually register at a distance

Nicely done. Always super risky to approach geared individuals, never mind 2 or 3 of them.

Is it more to do with your luck on where the spread of the pellets land?

The most inept bandits I have ever met try to lure me into a false sense of security.

No problem. Glad you enjoyed it :)

I think they were real life friends on teamspeak as they seemed to be planning something without speaking in game. Perhaps Im wrong though. I'm sure desync/hitboxes played a part in their demise :)

Thanks for the feedback guys. They really were useless :)

He hasnt played in 6 months so he did get wiped
