Blackheart 5.56

Having mods will be great. I think I played vanilla Skyrim for 2-3 days before I started modding the ever loving bejesus out of it. Hard to imagine playing vanilla again. DayZ may well be the same in the future.

I concur with everything you said. Awesome that they are going to include single player, and that we will be able to host our own servers at some point. And mod support. Can't wait!

Same here. I was actually wondering when I was gonna need to start carry water purification tablets. Guess I've been lucky so far. Wells are plentiful enough that I'll probably just start planning my routes around them. In case of Cholera I like the stash your stuff, suicide and run back idea. No persistence though so better hope there's no server reset before you get back to your stuff!

Haha nice! 1:18 of that video, let's add that to the game play!!

I saw a rabbit. The little bastard was fast. Didn't bother trying to kill it, just chased after it a bit. Didn't gain an inch on it. I'm just gonna throw this out there... zombie rabbits. They look cute and furry from a distance but when they are close enough (should have aggressive zombie aggro) they will be all snarling with bloody, frothy mouths, and maybe a few bits and pieces of toes, feet stuck to their teeth.

I did finally see an AK101 mag at a UH-1 crash site near the above referenced Humvee. Didn't bother with it since I've yet to see an AK101 or 5.56 ammo on this build. Strange that it would be at a UH-1 crash site though. Maybe someone else dropped it there to make room for other goodies?

Thanks, I'll have to check after a restart. Been to that Humvee before but must have already been looted.

Finally used the FNX45 I've been lugging around and one shot of .45ACP puts z's down nicely. I think this will finally put to rest the 9mm vs .45 debate. Unless of course it's a 9mm Glock and then the Glock grenade variable comes into play. :P

Yes, it's a Kashtan scope on an AK- 74. I've been searching far and wide for an AKM but so far I'm stuck with this. I think maybe they are adjusting the damage values though because it used to take two shots of 5.45x39 to kill a z and I notice today it only takes one. Been having trouble making crawlers with the AK-74 though. Had more success with a shotgun.

I think Boneboys mentioned the z's going through closed doors was a known issue and going to be addressed, but after having it happen to me 3 times last night (with 2 z's, around 8 z's and 6-7 z's) I came to the realization that you know, maybe it's not such a bad thing. Why not have z's that can bust through normal wooden doors and come get your ass? If you want to be more secure, barricade the doors and windows. That would of course require barricading to be functional. And when the doors get breached, you should know it. You should hear the z's pounding on the doors, straining to get in. Then when they finally do bust through you should know that too. Have another sound for the doors being broken through. Maybe it started as a bug but let's roll with it. What say ye? First time at the police station in Cherno: Second time at the fire station at NWAF: And third time back down on the coast in Komarovo on a different server: To be honest I kind of like it now.

I've got 4 AK-74 mags. Also been lugging around a 75rd drum hoping to find an AKM so I can dump this AK-74. Check guard building front steps after a restart.

Good post, I have "lost" stuff like that. Put down a hunter backpack and shotgun inside an officers tent and both items disappeared. Was a bit unhappy since the backpack was full of goodies but when I left I was around the backside of the tent (near where I dropped the stuff) and both were there outside the tent.

On the server I spend the most time on the admins have to reset the server multiple times in order to get loot to spawn again.

Also found one in a shed but near Zelenogorsk. Someone mentioned hunting sheds and I've been checking them religiously but no joy in those locations.

Accidentally discovered you can make z's crawl if you shoot them in the legs. Most fun I've had in a while. Gonna try to make every z I find a crawler now. Had a shotgun jump out of my hands and hang in midair, then disappear before I could grab it again. Might have been able to recover it had I not been looking at it floating in the air and thinking wtf for a couple seconds.

I think they did modify the fall damage. I took about a 5 foot fall dicking around in a rock quarry and only chipped a bone and ruined my boots. A shot of morphine (found at a police station) took care of the chipped bone and found some new boots on a guard building porch. FYI crashing a truck into stuff also ruins your boots. And maybe pants too I think.

Just found an AKM, swapped the AK74 for it, dumped all my 5.45x39 ammo and mags, picked up one 30rd AKM mag and was looking at a 75rd drum stuck in vest when the server restarted. New loot, no drum when I got back on. Checked a few of my new favorite porches and found a drum and another 30rd mag. Although now that you can reliably two hit kill zombies with a fire axe I doubt I'll be shooting much.

Here's the one I tried to steamroll. It was like hitting a brick wall at full speed.

I was at Balota and had checked out the loot around the eastern jail building and a short while later after a server restart all the loot was different. Similar for the most part, but different. Could be that some servers are behaving differently, like the ones that weren't connected to the hive for whatever reason and were not resetting properly?

Prison Island has all the TTsKO pants and jackets you could ever want. Some Gorka gear and cargo pants as well but much more TTsKO.

Somewhat related I have found lots of 75rd drums and some 30rd AK mags but have not seen a single AKM anywhere. Have found lots of AK74's and a few Krinkovs. Are the AKM's spawning in really random places now or have I just been unlucky?

I had something happen for the first time last night, not sure what it was. I was running and all of a sudden started moving in another direction and had no control whatsoever. Had to re-log, it happened again, re-logged again and it went away. Is that the rubber banding thing or what was that? It wasn't like regular desync where you at least still have control.

Also, driving full speed head on into a z should not result in the same consequence as driving full speed into a wall or building. I tried to run over a z at the balota .mil base yesterday and it was like hitting a wall. Flipped the truck on it's side and threw the z up into the air, where he stayed until I got out, at which point he fell to the ground. I can see incurring accumulating damage from to many z smashes with a vehicle, say radiator damage, etc but no way in hell should it be like hitting a wall.

I was playing last night and it rained for at least 6 hours straight. It would stop for a minute or two then right back to a downpour. Also was night for most of those 6 hours. I was tired as all get out and finally had to stop playing and go to sleep... just as the sun was coming up and it stopped raining. Looked like it was going to be a nice day.

Can attach them to AK74 and Krinkov also. Have found several Suppressor East but the pistol cans must be hiding with the batteries somewhere.
