  1. Tool box that takes up 8 slots that you can use to repair weapons/scopes. Something similar with health mechanics. Just an idea.

    less ammo.. more zombies

    Cue a billion QQ in the forums and server crashes - I very much doubt they can just "Add more Zombies". The server side install is weak as is at the moment.
  3. MK48 Mod 0 DMR Most other things are redundant - unless we're talking about squeezing in an L85 into the coyote. GPS is not to be underrated either.

    less ammo.. more zombies

    I bandit all day long and support less ammunition. I think all sniper rifles (all of them) should be spawn reduced by 75% and all ammunition dropped by 50%. In 20 minutes I'll nearly always have a Lee Enfield with between 40-70 rounds (if not an AKM or something) and an m1911 with 28 rounds or more. I think this takes away from the game as a whole. INB4 moaning, I am a Bandit, I love the bandit life - it just doesn't MEAN anything to be a bandit at the moment.
  5. I've died three times running and gunning in Cherno today. Each time I have been geared enough to go North in less than 15 minutes. Can we stop making excuses for... whatever it is that you're doing wrong.
  6. Draw distance? All I have is fog now.

    solo bandit tactics

    M67 Grenade. and then MK48 Mod 0. There are pages and pages one could write about positioning etc but there are too many variables. The only advantage you have is that of surprise and that it's just you - no comms needed, no blue on blue worries. You have to get all this done and over with in less than 10 seconds.

    1.7.2.8.9.19.9.4

    Before you all hate I searched for "Fog" and got nothing. So yeah - Fog... I can't go farming downed helicopters on a push bike and 600 yards seems to be about the limit on visibility now, anyone know if this is going to stick about?

    Ok so at least it's not me then.

    1.7.2.8.9.19.9.4

    Sorry been at the Beers for a few hours. It would appear dear banditry folk that there is a persistent "Turok-fuckin'-64" kind of fog that is now hanging about on the game engine. We've all seen it, where visibility gets bad then good then bad then good then bad. Now it's just dense fog - 24/7 for me. I have visibility of around 600 yards - has this been brought in for performance gains on client side or because Rocket is fed up of people getting sniped or something else? Is it just me...?

    Best Secondary Weapon?

    M4 SD. For an actual side arm though the revolver, it's accurate. If you're a scrub though then PDW. G17 = lol it does less damage than a makarov.
  12. No one talks about what happened there. Seriously.

    5 kills in 10 minutes.

    Run to Prigorodky - see 2 chumps, have an Enfield so all's good right? When suddenly a wild stalker appears from the treeline, so I stalk the stalker - he fucking kills one of the guys i'm chasing and then takes aim at the poor guy in tow. I didn't want to get robbed and I had a better shot at the original target so I aim and fire - stalker fires at the exact same time and I get the kill. :D So mr stalker is sat there minding his own business thinking he's pretty bad ass for killing 2 kids on the block when the .303 enters and then leaves the side of his head. What did he have you say? Why an M14 AIM with 2 mags. Cheers Brah. Whats this?! A wild noob with an Enfield appears and runs up the massive snow topped hill next to Prig. Well I fire at him a couple of times and miss because I'm good like that - and give chase - I lose him in the trees but see a de-aggro'd zombie tail. Following the zombie tail I just catch sight of the man walk/climbing up the hill near the summit, i'm being chased by about 4 zeds now bad times... Stop and take a quick gasping shot and miss and get mauled by zeds, m1911 them all in der face, bandage, eat red meat. Fuck he'll have gone by now... I skirt run along the elevation I'm on to elektro side of the mountain then climb up to see if he's running to Elektro. Nah nothing there. Walk up to the summit and ooooooohhhhh here he is looking at prigorodky. Now it's a 7.62 NATO round that enters and leaves his head. Remembering the rule I sit there for 30 seconds to see if anyone else is up here. Yeah 8 seconds later sprinting man comes along to say hello to the body, he get's one in the spine and then one in the foot. Now I run over and hear footsteps directly below me on Prig side, oh wow at this point i'm on Direct Comms: "Cmon up boyz it's a fucking rape party up here!" He leans around a tree, gets shot in the face - then-a-fucking-nother one behind me back where I came from, I took 5 makarov rounds in the chest but took it like a man (Thanks new patch), dropped him with a rib shot and then domed him. In the space of 10 minutes, 5 kills, Alice pack, medical supplies, toolbox compass the works and an M14 AIM.

    5 kills in 10 minutes.

    Yeah - it's just the rules of the game lol. Got a Ghillie suit and a 50 cal? You're going to die to a revolver/hatchet - judging by my gear it'll probably be a crowbar... Assuming I don't roll off NW firestation (True story).

    5 kills in 10 minutes.

    I would hang around but an M14 AIM (Hell was going with the Enfield) will be more than sufficient to go relieve someone who doesn't know what the alt button does' DMR at Stary. Edit:> I Accidentally A Word.

    I Can't be attached to my items

    So the moral of the story is.... Don't get attached to your gear?
  17. Well I didn't do anything that epic last night but I did get a bandit kill with a crossbow out in the open which was lolz.

    DayZ: The pinnacle of realistic weapon damage

    You need to go somewhere like NYC or liveleak and see what happens when a 50 cal rifle hits someone's extremity. I'm not a gun fanatic like some are but as I understand it if the bullet misses then there is a fair chance the supersonic wake coming after the bullet usually kills you from hydrostatic shock. In laymens you get a shockwave that slaps your body's fluids around so hard you get internal bleeding. When the bullet connects - well you can watch videos for that but what's left certainly isn't humanoid put it that way.

    Just what is the best sniper?

    DMR. Variable zoom, is usable in 90% of situations, can be used as a battle rifle in a bind, hip fires well, recoil is low, ammunition is plentiful and powerful - can be used with NVG... AS50 - love it, but it is the DMR...

    Just what is the best sniper?

    Do you mean who is the best sniper? Or perhaps what is the best sniper rifle?
  21. Bacon Surfboard

    The randomness of zombie caused fractures is dumb.

    Pro tip - hit detection with pistol iron sights whilst a Zed is eating your face is sketchy at best and useless at worst. Hit detection doesn't really work when they're that close, recommend hip firing or backing up a bit - and if you want to let your imagination run wild for sakes of immersion, you wouldn't be aiming down sights when the thing is actually trying to eat your face and on you.

    I dont understand Zeroing.... at all

    Zeroing is simply put, elevating/lowering the angle of the scope to compensate for bullet drop.

    Hospital Windows?

    Shoot/attack the one window on the far left and it breaks all of them - guaranteed. Don't ask me why this is it's clearly bugged.
  24. Bacon Surfboard

    Winchester or AKM --- Preferred weapon

    AKM fires a 7.62 match round. Whereas things like the M16/Ak74 fire rounds approximately 5.56. Essentially AKMs hit 50% harder than most other automatic weapons and it brutalises players and zombies alike (And you can zero it). Only negative over the winnie (Which i do like btw) is the noise it makes.

    Noob question about Backpacks

    So, the game is designed such that getting stuff out of your back pack is not instantly easy or accessible (since it's in your back pack). It doesn't matter what your backpack size is - it doesn't affect your inventory slots on your personage in any way. The way the extra slots work is; well, you get extra space inside your new backpack. Easiest way to see this is to go to a loot pile, push G to open gear, and then double click on your bag to open it up. Now you have loot pile on the left, and open bag on the right (with all the extra slots). That moves from loot pile to bag, to go from bag to inventory you just push G when NOT looking at a loot pile, double click your bag and now it is bag--> inventory rather than lootpile--->inventory or in my example loot pile---->Bag. In your specific example I would mouse wheel the dropped bag and select "open" - then double click MY bag to do a transfer.
