I was checking out a farm house north of Electro when I heard the footsteps of 2 guys sprinting up to the house. I had no gun so I hid inside, shut the door and pulled my axe. I tried to talk to them over the course of 5 minutes. I eventually got bored and sprinted out with my axe out ready to bust up whoever was outside the door... It was a pig. Stuck in the fence. He tasted good.

12 Gauge Buckshot: Civilian/Residential spawn 12 Gauge Slug: Deerstand/Military spawn 12 Gauge Cut Shell: Crafted via Knife + 12G Buckshot (Applicable for only the IHZ-43/Sawed-off) 12 Gauge Riot Shell: Police/Prison spawn

1: Acquire Farming Hoe 2: Run at geared players like a crazy farmer 3: Use "Till Soil" feature. 4: Insta-kill 5: Profit!

Chernarus's temperature doesn't seem too bad. Bamboo should be able to grow fine. Bamboo Bow... Bambow. Must have.

DayZ: The Movie Coming soon...

Couple that number with improved AI functions and zombie wandering, it would make the ideal zombie game. No longer will players walk down open streets, firing SKSs at each other, sprinting through houses and up stairs. Players would be forced to walk, crawl and creep through buildings, staying out of open spaces. Any players encountered would be less of a threat than the hundred zombies that would swarm the instant you open fire. Groups of random players would be more common, loot-sharing and lookouts that watch more for zombies on the move than players.

I'm stuck playing solo because I have no friends and 99% of the people I encounter are KoS or just plain assholes.

Malaria is a tropical disease. Chernarus is most definately not tropical.

Saw this the other day and thought it was great. It'll make it much easier to find people in your area/timezone to play with. Though i'm concerned that once it becomes widespread knowledge there will be friend requests on steam from too many people. Then again, if everyone's on each other friends list then everyone will be able find organised groups instead of just being/encountering solo KoS snipers everywhere.

I don't go actively hunting trucks, but since their implementation i've seen only one. I couldn't figure out how to work it so I left it. I assume it was out of fuel (not that it has any gauge or indicators of any sort regarding the condition of the vehicle), which is nice and all, except that jerry cans have so far demonstrated to be almost as rare as the trucks and are virtually uncarriable. It's just not worth it.

Sounds more like a CR527. They both use the same ammo. I don't think it's even possible to load just one round into an SKS...

I agree that some weapons should spawn with magazines. But this is a "zombie apocalypse" and the majority of firearms users would've used all the weapons you find lying around. Guns should at least spawn as "worn" down to "badly damaged", those weapon cleaning kits are everywhere and are completely unused. Similarly, the mags that spawn in weapons should always be damaged in some way. There's got to be a reason why their users just dumped them and if more weapons are spawning with mags, most of them should be unusable/barely usable. Pristine mags can always be found on their own.

Doesn't have an internal mag like the mosin and they're hard to come by. Even with a mag, it's only got 5 shots. For most people it'll basically be a single-shot rifle that uses rare ammunition. If you don't kill them on the first shot, you're screwed.

Yup, that's right people: Towels! Always know where your towel's at, because you wouldn't want to go anywhere without your wonderful towel. The obvious function of the towel is to dry stuff. Simply dragging the towel to a wet or damp item will dry the item instantly and yes, I know you can wring out clothing but that only dries it down to damp and you're still left with the player's wetness level. Additionally, the towel's best use is to dry the player him/herself. I'm sure that many of you who've been stuck in the rain can easily change their clothing and still retain the "Soaking", "Wet" or "Damp" which will persist to affect the character until it either stops raining for a long duration or you sit around a fire for fair while. So basically, it's a repair kit for being wet.

Misc items? What comes under misc items? Books?

I've heard people saying it's gonna be for the CR527 Carbine rifle, and that thing is a piece of shit.

I have no life. It leaves plenty of time for gaming, DayZ or not.

I find many long-range scopes. I don't see how so many people call them rare. They're common loot in garages and in a specific common house, behind the coffee table. Grenades are at the top of my list. I've never found one or met anyone who has found one. Most people who find them on youtube, usually blow themselves up simply because there's no way of knowing how to use or even aim it.

I love it how the game itself gives the correct response: "I need a drink"

I'm friendly.

Walk up onto the road, look left and right, run for the nearest house/town that I can see, take everything of use in that town and leave, avoid Elektro, head inland at the first turnoff.

The same house+trashcan appears in other towns. You can still get into the house, it's a bit annoying though. You can either jump over the can or close the door, wedge yourself against the can, then open the door again.

If you're shot or hit and the bag/pocket the ammo is stored in is damaged or ruined, so too will the ammo box. However, you can still remove perfectly useful, non-ruined ammunition from a ruined box.

Well, with your choice of black leather and a hat over a helmet, I do conclude that you are a member of The Village People. It's made especially clear by the fact that you carry a pink derringer. Any real man carries a black derringer.

I'm sure this has probably been suggested before, but nothing relevant came up when I searched for it. Simply, it's an offline test site where players can test features in a closed environment with a blank default character, unconnected to their MP character. Comprised of a small area, such as a walled industrial complex where vehicles, animals, weapons, ammunition and vital tools all spawn, with a closed building occupied by several respawning zombies. Now, i've never seen a grenade... ever. If I ever got one, i'd never use it for risk of blowing myself up. It's not a gun and has no special commands, so by extension i'd never even try. I've seen more than enough videos of players with week-old characters blowing themselves up trying to throw a grenade and not having even the slightest clue how to do it. The sad part is that it takes a week-old character to even find a grenade. It's just a glorified way to kill yourself once you reach endgame. A testing facility would give a place for players to test these completely unused and unknown weapons in a controlled environment. And while some wag might suggest testing these weapons on an unpopulated server, it doesn't work that way. It doesn't matter what server you're on, if a grenade fails and kills you, it kills you on every server. Not to mention they're so rare that you'll only ever get to test one. At least 90% of the time, if you find a rare weapon, you'll never have a mag or ammo for it and will discard it without ever being able to test it. How would you know if it's worth keeping? Of course, this isn't an armory or even a tutorial. You don't have god mode here or even infinite ammo, not even every item. What spawns in this place is there for you to test it under ideal circumstances. Once you exhaust the map's items, that's it. Maps aren't saved. All (which is none) progress is lost.
