As the title suggests, in real life you can open a can of spinach or whatever with your bare hands. you get it all over your shirt though.

one improvement i would suggest is being able to use duct tape as fletchings- http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/212836-an-easier-way-to-craft-arrows/

I do this all the time to quick fix my arrows in real life and it would be my go-to if i had to improvise some arrows. skip to 9:40 in the video to see it in action.

A multitool in the game would be useful, but the only point i am trying to raise here is that in an urban apocalypse environment, duct tape is my go-to fletching material. i keep a roll in my bug-out-bag (i assume everyone does) and i have many arrows that are on their third round of having duct tape fletching. i have a few that i use for targets that are literally just a sharpened dowel rod and three pieces of duct tape.

remove the AS50. i have killed too many people with it and i dont think well all be running around with one when the world ends. the M24 / SVD should be the best snipers in the game, period.

you can lose half of your blood IRL before you die (given, you would be in terrible shape, but alive nonetheless) after your done bleeding IRL your body does regenerate missing blood, slowly, assuming you eat well and nothing else even remotely bad happens to you you will be back at 100% blood eventually. although, with even canned food giving you blood back, this is kind of simulated already being as how you would definitely need to eat to regenerate IRL

As the title says, the crossbow could end up being my favorite weapon, if coupled with a few things. Allow me to begin by saying that i searched for a topic similar to this and didn't find one, if there is one I am sorry for beginning an unnecessary post. Also, this is mainly an idea for the standalone game (if things like attachments/different kinds of ammo are implemented) I have a crossbow in real life, and when i got it it was very much like the crossbow in the current version of DayZ. The bolts have field tips which are sharp, but if you got hit with one you could pull it out with relative ease and probably be okay (depending on where you were hit). The sight on it was a little better, it had your basic rifle iron-sight style. After some slight modification, I believe I would rather be shot with an AK-74 if i had to choose. The tips I use are some razor-edged, sharp, insane looking tips. The scope I have is similar to an M24 scope. The effective range on it is far better than in the game, and the accuracy is also far greater. My crossbow is a weapon that is not to be underestimated, just ask many a deer. If there were a chance i could find a crossbow in a barn, put a CCO or M24 (even a DMR) scope on it, get some wicked tips, and carry a few more bolts than are currently allowed, the crossbow would easily be my favorite weapon. Im sure someone else agrees. additionally, i know how to make my own bolts and arrows. Darryl Dixon, ftw?

i assume this means you only have a plan, if you are FORCED to kill them? ;)

did they pick it up or create it? if they made it its a ban

if there was a tractor id lol so hard pic looks real, if it was irl you shouldve looted and shouted friendly

what about AMD?

supermarkets and grenades...

my story is pretty much the opposite. generally, im a nice guy. if i see you, even if your armed, i hide myself and call friendly, then i try to make sure you leave with enough food and water. maybe i picked up extra survival gear (like matches) with the intent of giving it to unarmed people. but i never shoot first. yesterday, i was a fresh spawn on a clan server, and i was alone. i was in the pub in elektro, and i heard AK fire. i panicked a little bit, then i decided i would just stay hidden. I didnt even hear the guy walk up the stairs, but i saw the ghillie-man walk into the room adjacent from me, and he had the AK that was shooting earlier. i crapped my pants and hit him with a hatchet a the same time. that was my turning point.

he picked up a czech vest pouch. he deserved it

trees and doors... they should make a public service video about the dangers of trees and doors.

my friend and i were in a supermarket in elektro, he was going to change from full auto back to semi to kill zeds. "oops i might have thrown a grenade on accident" he died i was able to be patched up by another friend. another time at northeast airfield, we were the only ones on the server.i decided to snipe zombies, while my friends looted it. my friend caught aggro, i said "oh no problem, M107 has your back" i got my first murder that day also, ive fallen off rocks like you did, at black lake.

was on the #2 server today. hit some guy with a hatchet. then my friend found a heli and we flew it to elektro and picked up a random guy. he happened to eject, but the point is we saw a few people. and there were quite a few. just filter for rinaun and join the #2 server and see for yourself.

try launching arma2 OA on its own, then select dayz in expansions and look for servers by hitting multiplayer hope that helps

i shot a heli down with a crossbow

Theyre using Battleye :o

no im a hunter

hackers arent part of the game. sure its in alpha, its a mod, but its also not fun when you get killed by some 13 year old who bought a script set with his mom's credit card because he only found an M107 one time at a chopper crash and then got killed for being a noob with it.

crossbow not being worst weapon in game http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/77946-crossbow-could-be-my-favorite-weapon/
