Haha why is my reply pointless, I was merely saying that for "survival" purposes there are plenty of civilian firearms and ammo available if the the players are not picky as to what they want, what SamZ400 said that he couldn't find anything to defend himself against the wolves so I just pointed out that there are, but need to search further. Other than that, yes I do agree with you "You dont need an AR" , however if a player finds one great, but if not, there are plenty of other weapons about 👍

I have to agree with most of the replies here so far, because I was online for about the same amount of hours and just between two towns I found quite a few firearms, Town1: 3x BK-18 1x BK-133 1x IJ-70 And some ammo with couple mags. Town2: 2x BK-18 2x BK-133 1x Mosin 1x PU Scope Plenty of BK-133 ammo Then as I was looting another town, I found some ammo for the Mosin and BK-18, so they are there and available, just nned to keep looting town after town, honestly it took me quite a while to find a Mil rifle, but I wasn't running from Mil base to Mil base, just quite happy to be running around the map looting with a BK-133 and IJ-70 which seem to the more "available" I think Mil rifle shouldn't be made freely/widely available, however I think the devs would need to add something like the SKS "civilian rifle", a scope available for the BK-18 and make the pump action a bit quicker on the BK-133, these would then be alternatives to Mil rifles as i would even out the playing field in a pvp situation but also then most players wont be running the Mil camps because of good alternatives :)

Well I seem to find this more on the coast though, there has been a few times where I have come across players inland and we would just talk, exchange some items then go our separate ways. I came across four players last night in Orlevets in two separate occasions, helped the first two with a IJ-70, extra clip and ammo, then they left and whilst looting, I "ran" into another two players, both with KAM's (one suppressed) and one had a half ghillie suite, also friendly, helped them out with some KAM ammo with mag. So luckily I have not encountered any "hostile" players when chatting inland of which I'm sure many players have, but on the coast is a different story :)

Hi All I just wanted to get some opinions on the BK-133, I have been using this for a while now since dev had fixed the pump on it, I think that with the different ammo "buckshot, slugs" this could be a great weapon for close to mid range use in the game although I think the reload from magazine is a bit slow and should be able to rack another round slightly faster and the loading of individual rounds is also something that I think could be improved on by "combine" to fill the mag instead of have to do it individually from inventory. I have come across a few other rifles but just cant seem replace it as the ammo "both types" is widely available all over the map unlike the mosin or 7.63x39 which I do find but just not as much as the shotgun or IJ-70. So I just wanted to get some opinions from other players on this with use in PvP situations etc.....

Well after running around for days with an M4 with two mags and some extra ammo, I decided to ditch it for the mosin and bk-133 and actually try to chat to the players that I come across, seems like if you run around with an M4/KAM then players tend to either just avoid you or shoot to get the M4, some players possibly assume the player with the MIL gear is hostile

Actually tried this with both the shotgun and mosin. Rifle/shotgun in hand, combine with the ammo from inventory to chamber first round, then hit Y and will load the other shells/bullets until it's full, so yeah it works, thanks 🙂

There is still gun jamming in the game, I had picked up a damaged IJ-70 and it jammed. So I shot a Z, the gun jammed but the unjamming action was automatic because right after the gun jammed, the character started hitting the gun, pulling the slide to unjam it, once it had done unjamming the gun, I hit Y and it chambered another round.

Yeah that would be pretty cool.

Lol yeah, was just asking as they said that they would be releasing an update weekly but guess not, I don't like server/character wipes etc.. either, but I get what you mean :)

This should put the radios to some good use in dayz, currently no-one seems to be using these. Sorry didn't realize this is closed :)

@ImpulZ Any chance of getting an update this week? We are already 1.5 weeks in since the last update was released, Thanks :)

Haha was just about to get rid of the night scope I found, guess I will keep it for now until we get some feedback on the update :)

Haha yeah, I didn't know I could repair the radio with tape until I noticed it could be "combined" so tried it the check what the options were and "repair" it was, very happy :)

Yeah I guess it could be due to servers, I fixed a damaged radio with tape and weapon with cleaning kit and no issues on my home server :)

Haha this sounds alot like the events that played out last night on US154 server in Electro, I was running around looting and looking for and M4/KA and managed to find one eventually with a single full mag, so I thought I would also look for a mosin as I couldn't find any of those either and have a PU scope in inventory that I could attach, so on looting from NWAF I made my way looting towns going to Cherno, found a Mosin and heard quite a few gunshots at the docks in Cherno, so I decided to follow this on character that was running on the main road "I was scouting from the forest" from Chero to Electro and just as we get into Electro more gushots. So in scouting from the forest at about 300-400yrds away I notice these two fully ghillied guys ontop of a three story building "ladder from inside the building to roof" and they were shooting at every player coming in from Cherno and the warter "fountain", so they had covered the main road entrance coming in from Cherno and the water "fountain". So in all this I spot this other player running down the same main road to Electro with a KA in hand, Mil clothing and the BLUE helmet on trying to shoot at these guys from the road "Really? Blue helmet?", anyway thats no better than standing ontop of a grey building wearing a ghilie suit, that wont "camouflage" the player!. So to get to the point was that I then noticed how these two ghilies are going at it from the roof, so I move in a bit closer as I have the Mosin (with PU) and the M4 (With Acog) all with plastic bottle suppressors on, they then notice my character and start shooting in the same direction, now I decided to return one or two rounds, managed to hit both of them once and they fled into the building "Down the ladder". Then they come up again to the roof and start searching that area "From the building roof" where the shots came from, I have already relocated up the hill in prone and watching them from the bino's, then they all move back into the building and dont come out, so now I'm still scouting the surrounding in case they try to flank but nothing, then after a while one of them "No Ghilie" comes out and fires one random round from the roof and then ducks back into the building, so then I realize that its a baiting tactic as they are try to get my characters location, so I move to a bush about 50yrd away and then a round goes off nearby, in the same bush hiding is one ghilie so I blast him with the M4 "full clip" , so either he is very good or he server hopped to the location because we were in an open field on a hill with one tree and bush in the middle of the field and nothing else, I would have noticed him taking up that position. So then all I took was his SVD "First time owner" which was fully wrapped and three mags that only had 9 rounds in each of them "Possibly duped?" as the mags can take 10 rounds each, then waiting a while in the tree line to check if his buddies come collect the gear or not, but then just decided to leave the town with the SVD :)

Thanks for the advice regarding the mosin ammo, I managed to find some rounds in the bookcase in a small town in the middle of nowhere, I have also found a scorpion last night in a police station but it was badly damaged so left it there, but also had two scorpion mags which I found in security buildings which I also left there with the scorpion for another player to pickup or despawn as I really was just looking for a mosin of which I found two in one town to the west also in the middle of nowhere. now to try an stock up on some mosin ammo.

I have to agree with this as this is basically what I'm finding in the game for a while now however I do find quite a few PU scopes though but still less mosins, finding alot of BK-18 and BK-133's :)

Hi All I just thought of starting this thread just to get other players experiences of funny or weird things that they have seen on Dayz. So mine was last night whilst running through the woods/forest no where near any village or city when all of a sudden I hear a Z screaming and alot of "Forest" noise and then once I turned around, there it was, possibly the funniest or weirdest thing I have noticed on Dayz, There was a huge pink pig running through the forest and in chasing was this Z, now the pig would outrun this Z then turn around, notice the Z is still incoming then turn and run again. This carried on right through the forest/woods :)

Yeah I had one of these for quite a while, same with switching frequencies and no one replies, so decided to keep the battery but not the radio

Haha yeah that's why I like the shotgun as most of the unfriendly encounters were in towns/MIL tents while looting. Mostly also just used buckshot but have alot of slugs which I haven't used yet but would like to know how much of a difference there is between the two in the game

Yeah, I used the BK-13 before and really like it, only issue I have though is the reloading, it's quite slow if another player is spraying m4/ak rounds around, that's why I like the shotgun, reloads quicker and the close to mid range with buckshot/slugs are pretty good, but yeah I noticed the the next round would only chamber when holding/pressing LT after being chased by z's, however along with this this, I still think that dev can make racking another round much faster and reload the mag completely by combining ammo once rather than individual rounds from inventory, guess they could fix this and possibly add civilian weapons like the sks as alternatives to MIL weapons and still be able to get out of pvp situations :)

Well don't mind them not being all that common so I guess I agree with that, but will try again when online tonight and check again :)

Yeah, I have only found one AK this week, no magazines and quite a bit of M4 ammo, some M4 mags but no M4 rifles, can't find a mosin at all where there were "enough" before.

Was on earlier today and noticed two "test" servers in the server list that required a password to join, has anyone any idea about this?

Hi All Could someone please verify if there is an issue after the latest update with the "misc" and "comms" options on the d-pad, currently after the latest update, none of these two options are working or available, only the other two work, Thanks.
