That is a solid allrounder loadout indeed. The FNX is pure luxury tho. IN 58 you might as well get an UMP+Winchester combo. :P

I agree to an extent that it would be much more exciting having to loot mili locations on high pop servers, but your suggestions would cause 2 major problems. First of all, the ones that already have gear will camp those locations preventing others from reaching them. THey will have an advantage with automatic weapons. This could be irritating to new or inexperienced players and scare them away. Secondly, community servers create decent revenue for Bohemia and the server hosters and are pretty much mandatory for community development, especially when modding is available.

They spawn there since a couple of days only.

The problem with the Plate carrier is, neither that nor the Press Vest are working properly, rendering them rather useless. I would personally be happy if they could just stop a single bullet of a stronger caliber, but it seems they cant even stop a 22 at 200m.

Having handled an assault rifle in the army myself under various training conditions, I can honestly say that even a weakling like me would not swing the gun around that much when carefully trying to peak a corner. I encourage any gun owners right now to aim down sights of their unloaded gun and slowly sidestep - this will not cause the gun to swing around a lot from left to right to the extent it does in game. Personally I would suggest reducing this left to right swing by about 30-50% in order to make peaking viable and realistic.

I agree. sometimes I wish people were forced to actually loot on populated servers. Would make things more interesting sometimes. Players should be able to host servers nonetheless tho. This has and always will be vital for the community, more so with the release of modtools.

I estimate at around 50-100 Augs and a couple dozen SVDs you will throw your towel eitherhow.

I wish you all the luck and hope you are prepared for the frustration to come and the lost money and time.

Probably could have saved a lot of time by just going to the center and shooting once :P

Assuming keeping distance is your priority, a sidearm will do just fine. Do you however want to be more flexible and well rounded? Prepared to push a building or withstand aggressive opponents? An smg it is.

If you have a better explanation as to why noone can find an m4 after several thousands of restarts and why all the m4s are the same worn MP Handguard OEM Buttstock ones, then go ahead. Seems you are missing the point entirely and are just here to state the obvious, which doesnt really help anyone. And I look forward to a wipe, because then maybe the issue will become more apparent to people, unlike now where everyone is happy with their duped identical cherno m4 and says "but Brian Hicks said..." and thats it. I mean.. I could probably offer a 1000 dollars for a freshly found m4 with proof and people would still be like "nah, cba, because Brian Hicks said..". Now I got a question for you: How many default M4 handguards have you seen so far in 57 or 58? Let me answer taht for you: None. There is neither a satisfying explanation nor statement on these issues, in fact there is no evidence that contradicts with what I claim, literally, other than Brian Hicks tweet. And he can be wrong. He doesnt loot helis all day after all.

You think me or the people that would willingly spend an entire week of their life just to find an ingame item would not know of such simple things? Have you actually tried finding a PM Rak in 54??? People were willing to trade their left ballsack for it. Most streamers I watch nowadays are really bad, they dont have inventory management (just stuffing everything full and carrying 3 pistols and 2 primaries), nor reflexes or tactical thinking and often times lackluster knowledge of the game, but people like them for their personalities, which is totally fine, I like them too. But I am aware of these things. Like I said my friend, if you get your hands on a server and find me an m4, the 100 dollars are yours. It seems people simply do not want to believe that the m4 doesnt spawn. They need to feel it, find it out themselves. There needs to be a wipe right now, this very moment and unless the heli situation changed, suddenly posts about the m4 missing would pop up everywhere.

I dont get what you are saying :huh: it seems you are missing the point. The point is, m4s are supposed to be nato heli loot, but they do not spawn at helis at the moment. The only way to obtain one is by killing dupers in cherno. Thats not how it should be, right? But do go ahead and tell me what you consider thinking outside of the box. Go tell me how you would search for an m4.

Alright, Im afraid I cant do that because I dont own a server, but I can assure you... the 3 server owners that I personally talked to all have done this with guess how much success. Just to give you an example of how dedicated these people are: in patch 0.54 one of them restarted his server 5h a day for an entire week until he finally found the PM Rak.

Bone, it is very unfortunate that you instantly locked my topic. It was meant for all the people that still say "b-but the m4 spawns because Brian Hicks said so!" - NO, it does not spawn. But I want it to spawn! And all of its parts (CQB buttstock, where art thou?)! And I want to be able to use it in the upcoming stable and I am afraid I wont be able to!

Here is the evidence gathered. all m4s are being found from dead bodiesits always the same thing: Worn, MP Handguard (or none), OEM buttstock (noone ever saw a regular handguard m4)noone ever posted a heli m4 findingserver owners I know restarted their servers a million times and found neither magpul handguard nor m4. you can ask anyone about this, there is actually plenty of people who do this, they will all say the same.no m4s on private hives because noone is there to dupe itI have talked to people that sell gear, they claim the m4 spawned only in a brief time period during the release and a minipatch removed it. They found it in this period and are duping and selling it since then. Might be a lie but so far seems the only reasonable explanation to this situation.Does anyone have evidence that contradicts with the last point? Inb4 "but Brian senpai said.." He can be wrong, too.

Lie. I'm willing to give the first guy that provides me proof of freshly spawned m4 with default handguard 100 dollar. Guess what, I'll keep my 100 dollars because no offfer will ever come. inb4 "but Brian Hicks said", he can be wrong you know? All m4s currently in circulation have either an MP handguard or none at all + OEM buttstock and none of them are pristine. 1 m4 to be duped a thousand times!

I am all about fine tuning. When you are fully rested, aiming down sight, and strafe walking, the sway is too much imo. Reproduce similar movement with a gun of your choice and you would agree. You are already moving at a really really slow pace when doing that, your gun should be pretty steady. this is achievable without much strength or training. IRL you could even sidestep faster and still not swing as much, tahts what your muscles are for - evening out the imbalance caused by movement. edit: ah I came too late, so we are on the same page and agree after all :)

After having tested the AKM plenty of tiems in current stable I take back my earlier statement, the recoil is definitely to high. Strictly speaking in terms of gameplay balance, it makes sense for the AKM to have high recoil as else it would render the AR and Aug useless, but the current amount of recoil is too much.

Willing to shower you in gear for those two.. fucking tired of searching steam: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197973651936/ I am currently in Cap Golova near Elektro and I dont want to travel the whole fucking map thats why I will overpay anyone that brings me these. What I dont have: -civ tent -RAK

reduce recoil by 40% on the akm? this is a terrible idea. overall balance feels intuitive as is, the akm packs a punch but kicks like a horse, the m4 and aug are western "high tech" assault rifles with incredible accuracy but lesser "ppb" (power per bullet).
