You didnt have a gun?? Invisible creatures bleed as well im pretty sure :)

What kind of range/zoom does the longhorn provide? I know its only one shot but is it a viable sniper gun in a pinch (since it uses the 7.54x62 round)?

Hi i dont know if this is exclusive to .54 but no matter what item i mouse over in inventory (bullets, matches, rags, sticks) it says "0 remaining". Couple that with the super tiny number thats on the rag or bullet when not moused over, makes for a tough time to know how many of each item you have.

If you spawn on the beach. Quick look around to see if any zombies. Look down and search for rocks. Once found craft stone knife. Then yes go inland in search for melee clothing and food. Sheds usually spawn melee if thats what you come across first.

jealous :(

All hail the stone knife! Not since the inanimate carbon rod have i been so impressed.

Lovely little town. Got good loot from that military prison once.

Im all for it as long as each cart comes standard with the one wobbly/squeeky wheel!

Best. Story. Ever.

Stone knife has got to be the best tool in the game. Open food, cut up clothing and chop kindling from bushes is amazing. Does anyone know if it can be used to skin animals?

That seems to be a common problen on persistence on servers. get to a town where all the loot has been taken. I am enjoying private/pers off/4hr restart servers. More chance of getting someplace that hasnt been emptied out yet.

there must be a zippo or equivalent laying around someplace in russia lol

which are the gpu related ones and the cpu ones? i'd love to have this running a bit smoother lol

i've been having the same problems as the op. i seem to find ammo for everything but the firearm i find. you would think if you found an sks hiding under a bed, chances are pretty good there would be a box of rounds for it someplace in the same house. i doubt the owner took all his rounds and left the house without the firearm...

still happens sometimes. ill spawn then alt tab to get in to mumble and come back to "you are dead" lol damn spawn points seem to be on top of zombies!

I have about 100hrs in since last month and i havent noticed too many zombies walking through walls (a few times yes). What i notice most are the random spawn zombies running at you from anywhere without being in line of sight or making noise. That and seems like if you kill 1, 2-3 more take its place.

Its crazy to see how much time and effort people put in to things like this when the game is still in alpha. Goes to show how much of a fanbase dayz has! Great stuff!

Would also lend itself to tieing someone up to the back of a truck with rope or metal wire and dragging them to their death...

"The devs have already said something about allowing server owners the option to lock people out of their server for a set period (up to 12 hours, I believe) after they die. Personally, I think this should be mandatory on all servers - for at least 12 hours, if not 24" That sounds like a horrible idea. What if im playing with my friends and get sniped or bugged out death. I now have to wait 12-24 hours to play with them again?? I paid 40 bucks for a game that would make me wait a day to play it because of some stupid glitch? Or im a new spawn that happens to spawn next to a zombie and i die... yay another 24 hour wait. Yes i can switch servers but then all my friends would have to switch as well and start a new char because i died. Terrible idea.

I agree that they arent really bitey type lol but even so, most motorbike gear has armor inserts in them and are padded for impact not just tears. Throw in the bike helmet and youre set. :) I was simply implying that for the average zombie invasion i would think a bike suit would be ideal (strong, rip proof, breathable, fairly lightweight, weatherproof, and easier to find then a bomb disposal/riot gear type thing)

the graphics seem much crisper now that i've put my glasses on... lol

well said lol but really even a decently priced motorcycle jacket and pants would be damn near zombie proof. cordura is tough stuff. especially the way they build a motorcycle jacket and pants. not to mention those tough-duck construction jackets and coverall bibs/pants things. you see those everywhere on construction sites and even just contractors doing demo wear them. easily available at most work clothing places. either way. i know if the zombie apocalypse was on hand. i'd still be able to move around just fine with my motorcycle gear and still be pretty well protected from bites and fingernails.

sorry to necro an old thread but is there a list of clothes someplace that show what is waterproof and what isn't?

zombies do tend to spawn much closer and in bigger numbers now. i don't mind having more zombies, but it's the spawn thing that seems broken. like others have mentioned, you kill one, walk in to the woods and you now see another that wasn't there while you were in the field a minute ago. zombies are indeed more of an inconvenience more than a threat when you have some gear. but to a new spawn they're trouble lol PS: " the scattered newspapers on the ground mention something about some contamination coming from a banana shipment " how many of us have eaten a banana in game??? we're now carriers! lol
