No, it's funny because it takes the same amount of slots as any primary weapon. So you could actually store 2 launchers in a Coyote backpack if you wanted to, despite the fact that they are apparently so bulky they completely replace your backpack. I actually found one in a firehouse awhile back and was carrying it around in my Alice Pack. Eventually got rid of it since I had no ammo and needed to pack more medical and food supplies.

You need to do your research before accusing someone of hacking. It replaces the backpack slot only.

This is just from my personal opinion, but it seems like the damage does drop off past X meters. I was in the woods when I spotted 2 people in the clearing. Me, being an asshole and wanting to test my new DMR, took a shot at one of them, after just learning how to use the mildots. (700m) Dude didn't even fall over. I fired 3 more shots, only one of which hit him again, and he was still up and running.

Why the fuck did you bump a 1 month+ old thread

Any new players to DayZ should be required to play the Arma 2 tutorial at the very least. The tutorial teaches you EVERYTHING you need to know for DayZ and more.

GTFO stoner

Remington 870 or Winchester if you're on low population servers and don't have to worry about players as much. Ammo for both is plentiful and both kill zombies in one hit. Remington and M1014 both have the ability to also use pellets, which can kill multiple zombies at once if you aim correctly. Pellets can be found fucking everywhere, and you can combine those 2 round shells you always find into 8 round shots for the shotgun. You don't have to use military weapons to be able to survive. Couple that shotgun with a G17 or even a Revolver, and you'll be fine.

Oh... I had an M24 with 6 mags yesterday, before I killed myself for getting too bored with my character. And with any trade you make, don't include M24 ammo in the value of an M24 set. 1 DMR ammo can be converted into 4 M24 ammo, and DMR ammo is pretty damn common.

M1014 or Remington loaded with Pellets makes them the best anti-zombie weapon. Just for the simple fact that you can kill multiple zombies with one shot and you don't even have to aim to really hit a zombie. Pellets will always kill a zombie in one hit.

60 everywhere but Cherno/Elektro Running on a Phenom II X4-955, Radeon 7870 and 8GB of RAM. Resolution and 3D are both set to 1920x1200, and I have most settings on high except for shadows. Shadows always eat up a shit load of processing power.

Here's my suggestion First and foremost, add a quiver. Something that you can attach to yourself and be able to hold 10-15 arrows. Perhaps simply make it like a regular magazine that comes with 15 bolts. You can pick these bolts back up and it will add to the ammo magazine. Second, add different ammo types. Add a barbed variant that does loadsa damage And then, my personal suggestion, add a blunt arrow that will knock a player unconscious instead of killing him This would encourage non-lethal banditry, as well as being able to defend yourself and not have your humanity take a nose dive. The crossbow should come with a scope. Something similar to the scope on the crossbow in Killing Floor. Doesn't need to be powerful, but just enough so that it makes aiming much easier. Currently, the aiming is incredibly hard to get right.

Sniping into a city far away and popping noob players is not banditry. It's camping and faggotry. Banditry is taking supplies from others instead of obtaining the items yourself. Banditry is killing someone or holding them up for their beans/ammo/weapons/w.e. What you're doing isn't even that dangerous. I don't know anyone who actually stays still while running through Cherno. I duck through each building, grab what I need and bug out.

Some dude hacked it in. Not hard to figure out. The gentlemens way would be to dump it You COULD keep it and kill people with it, but you risk being banned from the server you're playing on.

Standing up doesn't effect your crosshairs that much, at least at close range. Crouching messes it up quite a bit. You have to aim MUCH higher than where you actually want to hit Prone... same as above, but almost impossible to hit someone who's within ~10M unless you have your crosshairs WAY up to the top right.

Y'know, I love how I can find some of the rarest items in the game. But I can never find NVG's, L85's, or GPS's. But, I find THIS tonight (and stuck it in my backpack):

Yeah, at first, I didn't think the hacking was that big of a deal Until I got sniped by a guy engulfed in flames with the hillside being on fire (using it so no-one could touch him) Then dropped dead with -999999 blood in a room with no windows Then to have an attack chopper rain down missiles and those splash damage bullets from a mile away, completely leveling the town I was in and killing me Then being followed around by an invincible axe murderer with a zombie face and killed, and after respawning, being teleported to him and killed again All tonight. I won't quit. I JUST stored all my important gear on a server I know hasn't had any hacking lately. But... It's the whole point about some kid with a script ruining someone who has spent hours, days, or even weeks into surviving in this game. If it was a bandit, I would scream into my mic for a bit, get over it and restart But... it's like, what's the point of it. What's the POINT of playing this game, trying to bug test things when you have people like these script kids? I've honestly been able to say I haven't seen hacking like this before. With most FPS games online, you might get some wall hacks in at the worst and MAYBE some invincibility cheats. With MMO's, there's no hacks that can actually harm another person. The problem is just the horrible, easily taken advantage of security that Arma II employs. This is not a situation where Rocket can bring up a fix. This is NOT something that DayZ can fix in ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM, because this isn't a problem inherent with DayZ, but with Arma II.

Actually, I was thinking of the variant in Arma II. But an unarmed one... I don't know. I mean there's a reason that we don't have small planes in the game. Because being able to zip so fast around the map would just unbalance the game. Think about it, let's say there was a huge clan battle at the NW Airfield. One side wins, the other respawns. They're fast chopper on standby, they rearm at their tents and head back up to the Airfield in no time flat and re-engage. Just seems... out of place.

Isn't that the chopper with dual miniguns on the front? Yeah, no.

Did you have it equipped? Did you put it in a backpack? Did you put it in a tent/vehicle? If it was equipped, it's possible the server didn't save it when you logged out If you put it in a backpack, it's possible it ate the gun. This happens when there's not enough space in your pack to store the gun. If it was in a tent or vehicle, you might not have saved the vehicle or tent that had the item. This means that on a server reset (which could've happened when you were at work) that the gun poofed into space.

I miss back in the old days, when you started with a Revolver... because the zombies were so deadly you couldn't survive with no weapons. They would always knock you out in one hit or break your bone even with max health. And you'd have quadruple the amount of zombies compared to now. Nowadays you even have a silent melee weapon that ONE hit kills a zombie from OUTSIDE it's attacking range. You hear that? You can kill a zombie with the Hatchet from OUTSIDE ITS ATTACKING RANGE. Back in my day, you didn't get that kind of power unless you had a silenced military grade rifle. (Or a Winchester... god I loved the Winchester before the nerf) Folks, all these "it's too hard" posts are exactly what's starting to go wrong with this game. Rocket has continuously stated, that for the most part, he's going to follow his vision for the game. And that is a game that's brutal, unyieldingly hard and near impossible to survive in. You really shouldn't expect things to get EASIER, because that's not the point of this game. Rocket doesn't care how many people he pisses off here. If you came in here expecting things to be easy, you'll be disappointed. Expect things to get HARDER.

Being on the internet for a long time doesn't mean you don't still get weirded out by shit Weird still will remain weird, fucked up still will remain fucked up. Stupid will always remain stupid.

I... what. Everyone looks the same because it's the fucking Arma II engine. And you do realize you can customize your fucking character, as in changing your face, your voice, glasses etc.

I thought this game was supposed to be about realism. Oh, let's just put a bunch of pop culture references and skins of bad people in and it'll make it a fun, meme filled game! Fuck no

I never kill those poor innocent zombies. Always shoot to wound if need be. A shot to the leg will always incapacitate a zombie and leave him still alive!

Because you can find them fucking everywhere I've found one in a goddamn barn before with 3 mags. AKM's are the most commonly dropped military weapon loot
