I agree, ful little novelty gun early spawn tho, but if you've found the rounds for it , you've probably got your hands on an AKM instead. The sawn off version does look sweet though but you'd be better off with a sawn off mosin once the hacksaws back in.im interested in how the weapon spawning will change once more guns are added back in, I'm assuming that finding the requisite mags & ammo will be tougher once similar guns/items won't spawn so close or frequently when there spawns get shared out. Think trade & comms will increase once it's necessary and more convenient than looting for hours, right now you can be geared in an hour or less which is breeding a KOS attitude. I love me some PvP but the game feels abit easy modeduring this test phase

Will be a sneaky little starter weapon once the hacksaws back to make it a little sawn off version. Has one shit kill potential with a good heavy organ chest or head shot so definitely not to passed up if your gunless but better off in your back pack rather than on show as some doosch with an AR might pick you off just for carrying.

So yesterday the xbox VP announced over twitter that mouse and keyboard support was coming soon to xbox, firstly I'd like I state that it'll only be for the game warframe initially and that it will be a game studios decision whether to allow the use of mouse as keyboard in there game & it'll be purely there decision whether M&K users are placed in separate servers than controller users for there games, as developers will be able to tell what peripheral your using. Im interested in what you guys & girls would think about DayZ supporting M&K On console & whether you think if they did it should only be allowed in separate servers? My opinion is that console shouldn't have mouse & keyboard support at all, which obviously isn't goin to happen. But that when it does come that developers are completely obliged to create separate servers for both. It has been proven that a M&K user will be consistently more accurate and be accurate faster than a controller purely due to the efficiency a mouse offers over a thumbstick, I feel that this alone would warrant separate servers. but as stated that's just my opinion and im more interested in yours, so fill me in peeps. What do you think?

I too feel that over this and the next gen consoles we will see a slow movement of more people buying M&K as games allow it. Don't see it being allowed in many Fps multiplayer titles to begin with but over time I expect to see more separate server options for different peripherals on console but definitely think mixing controller and M&K Is a bad idea for balancing. But for games like dayz, heavy inventory management and RPGs plus command and conquer style games would benefit from more keys and faster more precise cursor movement.

Can be very fristrating, I don't KOS but some people will kill any chance they get even if your holstered & haven't seen them yet. I'll always try and talk to people unless in a military zone or large city then I always scope out the town from range before going in and avoid people . If I see fresh spawns or being killed or squads executing people they get killed or avoided depending on ammo count and upper hand positioning. not everyone is instantly hostile, try running a semi geared rig at the coast and help fresh spawns with water and food etc by looting boats. Great way to find friendly people , just watch out for the squads. But a silenced 45. Pistol can work wonders on a bad bandit squad ;)

I've found a few, damn rare though

Thanks ImpulZ , nice work from the dev team. Some nice bug fixes here, the LT reload fix will help a lot of people out. Nice

I'm chill dude, games not even been out 2months. Fallout 4, battlefield 4, R6 Siege etc etc took like a whole year or updates to iron god awful game breaking bugs out and they were supposedly triple A titles from gigantic studios with thousands of people on the dev team. All of them were great games & still are but until you get players to play test modern games it's almost impossible to find these bugs. Take DayZ for example, it's bullet mechanics are more complex than BF 4 & Siege put together , it's has background sickness, temperature, blood level mechanics operations aswell as a full skeletal stem complete with vital organs for critical hits etc and it's trying to synchronise those across 60people across a 100square mile map whilst calculating animals, zombies, weater effects etc. You need thousands upon thousands of hours played, bullets fired & items picked up & consumed before you can track bugs in order to replicate and fix them. The hardest part was creating a new engine actually capable of running this game , which we all have now which should enable faster development going forward & the neat ability to run and jump without tripping over a small rock and snapping both legs only to crawl for an hour to your death, so trust the game had got significantly better on many sides in respect to mechanics. People frustrations ATM especially on console is due to the PvP elements being all kinds of janky with reload bugs, total weapon failures, hit registration issues etc, this is bound to cause some salt as nobody likes to feel cheated out of a fair , honest gun fight. But the devs are working on these issues and many others & until there fixed adding more items, weapons etc will just create more or worse bugs. I understand peoples eagerness to move forward but they have stated the plan for the next few months and all going well before Xmas we should have quite a lot of big fixes and quite a lot of new content all going well. and I'm sure a QOL controller refig will be in the works to allow hold breathe, freelook and a true assignment of change fire mode before then too

I'm assuming as the buttons only currently assigned are the ones on the controller options menu showing all key bindings ingame. But currently button pushs have the ablility to overlap such as holding LT & Y will complete the reload animation as if your just pushing Y but because L is being pushed and held before hand it causes the bug of a shot being fired for other players to hear and often bugs that magazine causing it to become stuck in the gun making a gun useless. This overlapping of button pushes is probably in to allow micromanagement to work as you have to hold A and scroll left, right and up , down from one inventory to another. My assumption is that the ghost reload is a result of other button combinations interacting not being fully addressed yet so that those combinations can be blocked off and ones required left accessible, but I could be wrong.

Some word on a controller update would've been nice, I'll wait as long as it takes for BETA to come to console after PC testing. I'm patient in respect to mechanics and items being added back In as that testing will take a lot of time on PC first & the hit reg issues sound as though there's multiple causes so that'll take awhile to iron out. But a small QOL update to just add hold breathe functionality and the ability to freelook which are already on PC Shouldn't be difficult to just assign those functions to key bindings on controller. The data they'd accrue purely from people being able to PvP more effectively in respect to hit registration would be worth it surely. fingers crossed that somebody somewhere is working on these basics in the BI offices.

Think I've got a video of it I'll upload it tomorrow. It's pretty gross. Legs are tucked up Into body and arms and head are folded in so the torso with weapons on back or in hand is visible. Looks like some kind of flesh droid floating about. My trend who had the but wasn't exploiting but he may have accidentally created it somehow, on his screen he looked completely fine but on mine his model was all kinds of messed up lol

You sir understand the internet, life & how both should be played upon. Much love <3

Shop gonna be open soon? Got a great helm, 2x mp5 mags and a loa if ammo to drop off. I'm an EU Player so it's pretty late here, I'll keep refreshing the forum in the next hour or so in the hope that I can pop on your server as drop it off.

Dude there's literally a controls tab in the main game menu from day one of release that clearly states tap Y TO RELOAD. no forum membership necessary, just the ability to read. So yeah it's pretty damn surprising the pure volume of people who reload in twenty different and wrong ways on this game

How didn't people not know that you simply tap Y . Why would you even think you would hold LT and press Y? It's in the main menu of the game under controls for godsake lol. Pressing LT and Y not only fires a single round that only other players can hear but also has a high chance of bugging your gun or magazine out so that all bullets fired won't register hits. I didn't realise how many inept console gamers there were until reading posts in this forum, well done to the original poster of this threads but there's already been about fifty similar names threads already and I still find people in game reloading in the most extreme and counterproductive ways imaginable and wondering why there guns stop working. Surely taking five minutes to look at the controls option in the main menu would have saved hundreds of people a lot of wasted time

Yeah happened to my buddy a week or two ago, looked creepy as hell . I reported it but I'd advise taking the time to report it also , the link to the bug reporting site is in the forums main menu. The more reports a bug gets the with more details the easier it should be for devs to replicate it, fix it & know how prevalent it is.

Yep and I've found that if you switch from party to game chat then back to the party, the next time to try and switch back to game chat you cannot be heard in game anymore. Also sometimes even swapping to game chat the first time other players have been unable to hear me. So the systems still a bit buggy right now. I tend to stay in game chat & simply message friends where to meet me in game in a specific server as it reduces blood boiling potential lol

Tbh whether your an Xbox or PC player all your doing is funnelling your money into large faceless organisations. Whether they be American or chinese. Heck china the biggest breacher of human rights in the world is almost solely funded by it's government owned tech companies pumping out PC components faster than a fat kid eats cake. There are no moral or intellectual smart buys anymore, everyone is funding someone elses misery or slave labour somewhere else on the planet. Most people buy console because of the simplicity of the system or because of lack of funds to build a personal rig, anyone who bought an xbox thinking it would offer any kind of 'freedom' was obviously too deluded to begin with lol. But PC is no better, its just an added layer of delusion thinking that there's any freedom involved. It's just a more expensive closed system that offers more wiggle room so peoples freedom itch can be scratched but never actually fully realised, all the while giant corporations get bigger.

Gimme dat cold and wetness, heck throw in all the diseases too. as far as I'm concerned this is EZ DAYZ right now. God I'm cooking all my meat and purifying all my water & carrying a spare waterproof coat for when it rains in preparation all ready.

I've got 11 days worth of play time on xbox so far and haven't died once from lack of food or water. I'd advise googling a decent SA 0.63 map, or try reddit or one of the dayz map apps . Personally I'd rather they made food and water spawns rarer than they currently are. Pretty much every single small boat on the coastline has a tin of food or can of soft drink next to or under it and there spaced out every 50m or so & bodies of water and streams are frequent all over the map. The game has a steep learning curve, it is a hardcore survival game after all. Once the rain and cold can kill you aswell as all diseases are implemented you'll be wishing it was back to it's current build.

Quite simply put if you dont give a product or service your money then said business or product will no longer financially function. That seems to solve the issue. Don't give your money away on any product without using detailed prior research also known as common sense, then the next step is don't mistake a personal regretful decision with injustice.

Yep above poster is correct . Hold LT and tap Right D-Pad as fast as you can with AKM equipped. Keep an eye on bottom left of screen for fire mode changing.

Yep I see this a lot, I stay away from the M4 as it's completely unpredictable. I've seen team mates put half a magazine into someone, heard the shots & saw several blood splatters and the guy didn't go down. It's not just ghost rounds from people pressing LT and Y to reload, even tho that 100% bugs guns out. I've simply pressed Y to switch mag everytime I log in and switch to full auto in my AKM and haven't had a single issue of bullets not registering so far. But the hit reg on the M4 seems buggy as hell atm, the rate if fires considerably faster so maybe server tick rate just can't handle it on a full server. Also never fire from The hip as the recoil is insane, try spraying a wall at five meters in hip fire, within 4 rounds your hitting the sky even if your gun looks steady on screen. Devs are working on all issues with gunplay though and it's not just console having these issues with damage registration etc.

Currently the only three gun suppressors don't break with use, but the craftable bottle suppressors (bottle combined with tape) will break when fully implemented. The pistol and east suppressors which are in game don't deteriorate with use either but I'm pretty certain that the plan eventually is for them to degrade with use & I'm pretty certain weapons will also degrade and jam when damaged. But that isn't implemented ingame yet, also the NATO suppressor for American and Western European weapons isn't in this build yet either but will be added down the road. Hope this helps

Aww man I missed you being open , had the post followed but it didn't email me :( . I'll try again In The future as I always have a tonne of various ammo and scopes etc Incase I find a friendly fresh spawn but I'd be down for just dumping it all on you for the store
