zython (DayZ)

Zombies only spawn around structures when a player is approaching/near them. I think it's a 150m radius but I may be mistaken.

Whether you want to axe murder zombies, or other survivors, I don't really care. Fact is most people don't know how to use the thing properly and I'm here to show you how it's done. Most people treat the hatchet like a melee weapon and expect it to behave as such. As a result these people flail the axe wildly and don't hit anything. Often getting frusterated that it's "not working" or "glitching". Actually, the axe is not a melee weapon. Arma2 has no melee weapons, so Rocket had to improvise. The axe is really a VERY short range gun with an axe skin & animation, plus unlimited ammo. Now that that's said and done, on to the tips: -You MUST have the axe crosshair on your target in order to score a hit. It's not a slashing weapon with a wide AOF, it's a shooting weapon. This is what frusterates most people who try to use it, thinking that if they're within striking range the axe will automatically kill it. -The axe has more range than you think. Play around with it and figure out how far away you can be until the axe can't reach. It's actually farther than what you'd think just by judging attack range by looking at the size of the axe. -Reload your hatchet -The axe is a one-hit kill on zeds and plays a distinct "hitting" sound when they've been hit. Due to the glitchy nature of zombies you should never assume it's dead until the loot icon appears on it, but if you hear the noise there's a pretty good chance it's dead. -Zombies will flank you if you are moving quickly, running to the side of you before stopping to attack. That way they have time to attack as you go by. Predict this and aim accordingly. -Engaging players with guns using a hatchet is ill-advised unless you have complete and utter element of surprise. -Engaging players that have axes, with an axe, is is best done with hit & run tactics. As well, if they swing and miss, you have the oppertunity to move in and attack and back out before their animation finishes. Happy hunting :)

If it's not pain then you're cold.

Age (Be Honest): 17, Army National Guard, pre-basic. Finishing up my senior year before I ship off. In Game Name: zython Country/Timezone: US/EST-5 Are You Active?: Well enough, I get in when I can. Usually later around 8 or 9 PM. If I have nothing going on the next day I'll chill out in a dead server alone at night raiding NW airfield uncontested, at like 2am when no one on the east coast is online. Experience In Dayz: About two weeks. Before then I watched Day Z videos before I got paid and bought ArmaII Have You Worked In A Team Before?: Only in real life, and the occasional Halo game with some friends where we go all tactical.

Someone should make a highlight reel of global ban excuses.

Well then...

It was YOU? You just HAD to wear the ghillie suit didn't you? Now everything is ruined!

Well, they didn't exactly force you to do anything. You made a decision yourself and blamed the hackers for "forcing" you. -My two beans

If you have to ask this question you're probably not cut out to maintain a server. -Spittin facts, don't hate

lol...PMS

How surprised would that guy have been to get unloaded on by a SAW?

I feel like this joke has gone too far

1st person head bob turned off for shootin' and lootin' 3rd person for stealth & barrel rolls

-See another player, he only has an axe -I only have an axe -He wants to be friendly -Commence axe battle -I am the superior warrior -He drops, unable to hit me because he sucks at axe murdering -Victory

-Walking around Cherno -Only have an axe, minding my own business -Movement in the corner of my eye -Think it's a zombie -LOUD RAPID GUNSHOTS -He sucks at aim -I chop his face -Victory

Funny how suddenly a bunch of new accounts love this clan.

Hatchet is still the best weapon in the game.

The thing that makes this mod so interesting is that every human you see is actually another human. NPCs would ruin the immersion.

They look like a tin can.

You're doing god's work, son.

When will an updated damage chart be produced? Anyone know?

My first thought was that you were an older gentlemen who enjoyed kidnapping teenage survivors and dragging them to your love dungeon in the middle of the woods.

-Hatchet -Broken W key Moonwalking axe murderer

Then you could just sit by a water pump and heal with your canteen. My vote: no
