Rangefinders?

Not sure just died so currently trying to get to ma body doubt ny1 will take the m136. What u got to offer? Whether or not I get my gear back will change what I need now

Just a few ideas some may have already been said: Hit detection/Long Term Damage: Shooting people in the foot twice with a DMR for example shouldn't kill them, really hope that in future where you shoot someone has a much larger impact on the damage/bleeding it will cause. Also 'crippling' limbs - this is meant to be a simulation so getting shot in the arm or leg should cripple you even Fallout 3 had this. Getting shot in the leg for example then you can't sprint for a good while till time has healed your wounds and a shot to the arm would highly reduce accuracy and perhaps stop the use of a two handed weapon. Getting shot then applying a bandage shouldn't just magically fix a bullet wound for christ's sake. Basically just make the damage/health system as much like real life as possible. I think people underestimate the effect things like this can have - this would make people far more cautious about engaging in PvP as a single shot can mess up your character. Even though this isn't COD, the characters still can take an unrealistic amount of damage. Mutilation: This is a crude idea but say a grenade goes off near you or someone shoots one of your limbs with a 50.BMG - you're gonna lose that limb. Assuming you survive this loss of limb you then need to worry about infection, getting a peg leg or becoming captain hook now that you've lost a hand. Imagine meeting a Day Z veteran with his grizzly appearance and he's missing an arm whilst weilding a sawn off shotgun. Tougher Zombies: I understand this isn't the Romero zombies but I think guns should be less nerfed (as clearly shown above) for PvP and zombies should have the same health as humans if not more so that they're actually a challenge though of course head shot instant kill should remain. Gas Tank Shot: Last but not least shooting any vehicle in it's gas tank should cause a nice little firework show. I want this to be as much of a simulation as possible and I think these would all help.

Got myself my first AS50 and M107. With AS50 rounds I'd reckon that'd be the obvious option. But using m107 ammo what would be best? I know m107 has variable zoom so that's a plus but what about accuracy, effective range etc what do people prefer/think is best?

Depends on what they're shot with but yeah my mistake.

Fuck your pussy hatchet get some hairs on those balls and use a crowbar.

Seems legit. Must've felt like a boss after that shot.

Got that for my non private character. Don't know how it is against players but also got a DMR so as long as their a decent distance or very close that's fine for PvP.

Why do this? I've got 3 M107's and a DMR in a car and my 1 AS50 that I use as primary with an M249 in my backpack. So even if I die four times I'll still be good for a sniper :D

Give it categories such as weapon suggestions, game features, vehicles, general suggestions etc This way less chance of same thing being posted over and over again and easier to organise (assuming devs actually bother with suggestions as much as they should. Just cynical on this.)

my only problem is i can rarely find a 3DP disabled server.

According to weapon stats the audible range is the same? Or is it just the m107 sounds louder but can be heard at same distances?

You can use m107 in as50 so that's irrelevant. I tried zooming with as50 and it wouldn't let me. Can someone confirm whether this is possible or not?

I have 2 characters in Day Z - one on a private hive and one on the normal hives. I had done well for my private hive character (read previous post) so decided to go back to my normal one. I was looking for a relatively well populated server and decided to try RU 85. Within seconds of logging in I saw a white off road driving along the road near Stary. I was itching to kill someone so far I had ran into no players with this character. The car stopped in the fields in front of me, I was trying to take cover behind rocks but stood up and the truck stopped. I saw a player leave the truck whilst the other one stayed behind. He came around wearing a ghillie - at first I wasn't sure whether he was friendly or not. He didn't shoot at first then let off a few rounds towards me so I promptly emptied 3 rounds from my DMR into him and he was down. Then his friend starts driving up - I try to fire shots at him through the windscreen but don't know if I hit. He ejects out the truck but before he can get his bearings I've shot him down as well. Whilst looting I notice one of them apparently has no backpack and I can't access the other ones. On them I find NVG, GPS and M9SD with plenty of mags. They also had M4SD + DMR's but I already had these as well as 'Laser Marker' and Silenced PDW which must've been hacked in, I buried these with their bodies though. The whole time I worry their team mates are nearby as I presume the reason they didn't shoot on sight is because they thought I might've been one (since I was wearing ghillie as well) then I realise ones still alive so I pop a round in his head from my DMR and drive around with my new toy looking for crash sites. I come across one at Altar so I check for loot (nothing of interest) I'm done for the night so after killing off all the zombies in the immediate area I blast an fn fal mag into the truck take back my M4 and boost. With explosion and smoke behind me and lots of text and exclamation marks (which I can only assume is due to the fireworks show) I state there is a crash site at Altar and they should follow the smoke. I can only hope that carnage ensued after this but either way it was pretty successful :) 2 Bandit Kills and 0 murders

Yeah that's what I was thinking. I don't know what was going on but either way assholes were still using hacked gear. In the side channel there was someone asking to be teleported and getting denied so I dunno if maybe it was a team with one hacker or what. Being a Russian server I couldn't understand most of the talk.

Due to hacking shenanigans I decided to try a private server. After some Elektro/Cherno deathmatch style fun and several deaths it was getting kind of stale. I had only planned to muck about for a little while but a camper in the pub just kept killing me so I had to have revenge. However my cold dish was stopped short when I saw a UAZ just sitting there in an alley. I promptly took my chance and made off with the vehicle starting to take the game a bit more seriously now. I hadn't much in the way of..anything though apart from a Remington but fortune smiled and I found a DMR in a deer stand (something that's never happened to me before). After getting myself lost around Novy Sobor (looking for gas to stock up on) I saw a heli crash site which I drove down to and grabbed myself an M249 SAW, an AS50 and 2 M107's :o Then I got kicked for battle eye client (seems to happen a lot when I'm finding good loot) but fortunately I managed to get back in just as another player was happening their way towards my car and the crash site. I drove off and they never fired. I then headed to the NWA where I found a dead ghillie with Rangefinders, GPS + Coyote Backpack. So my first day on a private server had went rather fucking well I must say :) All I need now is NVG and a ghillie.

Will do mate :)

Well they had a laser marker + silenced PDW. Can't remember what else was kind of rushing myself. Dunno if stopping me accessing their backpack was a hack or not. Also there was people talking on the side channel about teleporting. I'm pretty certain they were hackers even if not they were using hacked gear.

Might just do, Only a casual player though. Just when I've got the free time.

Fixed. Would've been pretty damn cool if I had found an unmanned aerial vehicle though :L

Good stuff, M4A3's a rare find :) Still looking for L85 myself. If you're ever looking to tag along with someone just PM me.

How many jerry cans for L85?

I'm confused - I've been looking upon comparisons for all the guns in the game and their stats. According to the wiki/DayZdb zombies have about 4400 blood and the M1911 and Revolver do 1389 damage, it states that it kills zombies in 3 body shots but this is bullshit as in game it's only 1 shot. So where can I get reliable weapon statistics? Undoubtedly if these are wrong other weapons will be too. I do have a weapons chart that says M1911 and Revolver do 4500 damage which seems more likely but why would the wiki and the DayZdb be putting up clearly wrong stats?

I update using SixLauncher. So shouldn't I be getting the 3 shot kill?

I hadn't had many encounters with hackers or their gear until recently when i nearly died because of one then was killed along with the rest of a server when I logged on (was just about to raid heli crash site as well) I then went to NW airfield and found what must've been all the vehicles on the server and a couple of hacked weapons which I buried with a zed. (RGO Frag, AK-107 PSO, MK 48 Mod 0 camo) (I would post pictures but not sure how) I came across what I'm assuming was the hacker whilst trying to hide a car (that I stole from him) and he didn't kill me strangely just looked to loot his car (obviously looking for his weapons that I had got rid of), well I tried to kill him but god mode can prove to be a bitch so I got shot but disconnected before he could kill me. This was on DE1348. I then logged on this morning to find two AS50 TWS in tents at NW airfield. I mean WTH? Are admins completely blind to what is going on. It's not like these hackers were being subtle. Forgive me if there isn't admins on every server or whatever I don't really understand how they work. I just don't get how hackers get away with stuff this blatant. Also this isn't a rant or complaining, just an observation :)
