The hatchet is the most overpowered tool for getting wood. Nerf plz

So the radius for keeping the timer on you is higher than the radius to stop the loot from spawning which allows the covering person to have the timer on him yet let the loot spawn inside. Now I get it.

Oh. The wiki article made me understand that when loot is spawning there must be no one in 200 meters of the building for 10 minutes for the loot to respawn. So in reality there is just one person who has the 10 minute timer and the game only checks for HIM to be inside 30m of the building? How do you determine which person the timer is on and how exactly does the game detach the timer from the player when they leave the area / server? Can they go "too far" so the timer is set on the other player or what?

I understand that loot respawns once you empty a building and go far enough for the building for 10 minutes, but I didnt get the part where you explained how you need to act with 2 players. Why is it different when you farm with 2 players instead of one?

So now zombies will see you as far as your visibility indicator says and sounds are dampened by 50% through walls (according to patch notes, at least). And if zombies are looking away from you they wont aggro unless they hear you?

I havent played 1.7.2 yet. Could you elaborate on the new system?

Currently the M24's only advantage is a bit better accuracy. However because its bolt action most people manage to disconnect once they have been shot once because it doesnt deal enough damage. It should be buffed in some way, such as body shots causing a knockout every time so people can't just DC once they get hit.

2. The things that may cause your character to sneak / walk slowly are double tapping shift, which inverts the sneaking so when you hold shift you will run and when you don't you will sneak and vice-versa. Another is if you right-click to aim down sights, even without any weapons this will slow you down and sometimes you have both double tapped shift AND are aiming down sights so you got to try all the solutions to run again.

I have found about 15 crashed helis during my play time, found so damn many FN FALs, nightvision FN FALs, Bizon SDs, medical crates and stuff but only one good weapon which was an AS50 on my latest chopper find.

I would like to know if there is any way to tell whether or not a vehicle or tent will eventually eat all your hard-earned gear? I had a vehicle that had some medical supplies and stuff in it. They still were there the next day and I thought that the vehicle was safe to use and thus stored my AS50, mags, more stuff and 2 aks74 kobras in there but then the next day the whole inventory of the vehicle had disappeared. And tents, I can't even get them to work. I have used them twice, hiding them in a good spot far away, put in some useless items to see if they are there the next day, which they weren't so I haven't even dared to use tents to this point since the "test items" I put in them always disappear. Is there no way to get vehicles and tents to work? And yes, I remembered to save.

I wonder if that can really happen in ARMA. Would be funny to see that happen :)

I disagree. For example, I don't think everyone would get a backpack if they needed to start from a scratch and find one. Unlooted markets have like one or two backpacks average in each. So about 15 people would get their backpacks from markets. The rest (assuming 50 players play) 35 players would have to find their backpacks from residential (or military) loot spots which have like a 2% chance of having a backpack per pile. On some servers I go to cherno just after its untouched and in all the high-value and medium value residential houses I find like 4 backpacks maximum, maybe less. Without server hopping on other servers for the sake of finding new loot (not to reduce the risk etc) its pretty damn hard to find a backpack. And that was just for the backpack. Now try and get everyone a handgun to defend themselves with. Without serverhopping or fast restarts.

Go search north of stary sobor and novy sobor. Also search around the mountain "altar" and all the fields south of the NW airfield. You are almost guaranteed to find one this way.

OP cant just admit to himself that someone just owned him and his friends. Obviously he missed some spot where some sniper probably shot them with an AS50 from far far away.
