If you're lucky, you might go a day, maybe two, without being killed by one.

But it's such a crappy gun. O.o

Favorite side-arm - PDW, because it can use any 9mm mag and doesn't attract zombies if you use silenced ammo Favorite primary - M16A4 ACOG, really good assault rifle with an excellent scope. Favorite sniper rifle - M24, super super accurate, very common ammo (and it can be combined into DMR to save space), and so much more rewarding than the AS50 (killing someone at 800m in 1 shot actually feels like an accomplishment).

Me and my fiancee of 3 years watch MLP together. If you're with someone who would ditch you because you watch a cartoon, then your girlfriend/plaything is incredibly shallow, and that'll be over soon. :)

That's what you get for going into one of the most open places in Cherno without making sure it's clear first. Play better, stop QQing.

Definitely FAL imo. Less recoil, faster muzzle velocity, less bullet drop, although ammo is super rare.

Bronies are no more common here than they are anywhere else. MLP is a very popular show, and fans are everywhere. Almost every forum I go on has a MLP fan thread.

Yep, I'm chilling around -365,000.

Was talking to the kid when I said that, not to you. I don't condone any type of cheating or exploiting. But, I'm not going to give up gear that I earned legit. I didn't cheat to get it, anyone else could have killed the cheater and gotten the weapon. I'm not gaining an unfair advantage. Now, hacked weapons, in most cases, don't give any advantage over current in-game weapons. When I say "gaining an advantage" when talking about picking up their gear, I mean acquiring the next "tier" of weapons. If I take a weapon off of someone, it's because I'm upgrading from a worse weapon. I kill someone with an Enfield, and go to loot his body. It doesn't matter whether it's a stock AS50 or an AS50 TWS, or an M24, or a KSVK, it's a clear upgrade from my Enfield, so I take it and gain an advantage. If I already have an AS50, I have little to gain by taking a TWS unless I plan on going to the airfield (which I don't, with the current amount of artifacting), so I usually leave it. But if it's a choice between an Enfield and a TWS, I'll obviously take the TWS. And a squad armed with Enfields and AKs is going to lose to a squad with AS50s and M4s the majority of the time, assuming similar skill level. I often don't have rangefinders. And I didn't say you can't see where your bullet lands in thermal, I said it's much more difficult.

The SVD is alright if you're spending most of your time in foliage doing medium range (<500m) engagements. It's like a DMR except camo and with less ammo. If you spend a lot of time up north, SVD ammo isn't too hard to come across.

The drawback to the OHK rifles should be the rarity of the weapons and the ammo, but with the amount of duping going on, it's a non-factor. It will be fixed, come standalone.

Neither of those are classed as sniper rifles. I'm using an M24 and DMR right now, they share ammo also, except the M24 is actually one of the best sniper rifles.

It is much, much more common. I've seen 3 M24s, and over 20 AS50s (on players, I'm talking about dupes and stuff, not just spawn rate).

No, people who use scripted weapons do not fall into the exploiter or cheater category, as Rocket as already said. Sorry kid. :) In a squad vs squad, assuming both teams are equal skill level, the one with better gear will win. One squad takes weapons off of people they kill, the other squad hides the bodies because the items are duped. The carebear squad loses. How is a thermal scope better than a regular scope, except when counter sniping? Being able to estimate range with mil dots and being able to see where your bullets land, should you miss a shot, is very important. Killing someone and taking their hacked weapon is not the same as putting the weapon in the game yourself. I'm having zero effect on the problem. The hacked weapon is neither spawning nor despawning, just passing through my hands into the hands of whatever player kills me. And until duping is taken care of, so I know that whatever weapon I pick up is almost definitely legit, as opposed to the small chance of being legit that they have now, I'll continue to use whatever weapon I can.

Should consider yourself lucky they didn't report you. :)

Excellent stealth weapon, WAY quieter than the M4 or M9 SD. Low damage for PvP, but good if you're sneaking up behind someone and wanna headshot without alerting everyone else to your location.

Not allowed to kick/ban for that, if you do, your server won't exist. :)

If you would honestly bury him, and aren't just saying that to keep up appearances or make a point (which I doubt), then I hope to meet you in game so I can kill you with my much better gear. Scripted in or duped, either way is an illegitimate way of getting a weapon. Scripted in weapons that aren't in DayZ aren't any better just because they're scripted. They don't get extra damage or accuracy, and the attachments are often not much, if any better than the versions found in DayZ. The AS50 TWS for example, the scope isn't very good unless you're counter sniping into foliage. When I had one, I found myself using the stock AS50 more because of the mildots and how much easier it was to see where the bullet landed (very hard to see puffs of smoke/blood on the thermal scope). There are two scripted weapons that I would say actually give an advantage over regular weapons all the time. Those are the M4 holo M203 SD (good sight, silenced, and a grenade launcher) and the silenced PDW (silenced weapon with up to 30 rounds per mag). Everything else I've seen (KSVK, L115A3, AS50 TWS, G36SD) is either a trade-off (as with most other weapons) or is just plain inferior to current in-game weapons. As such, it is usually just as bad to take a duped weapon off of someone as it is to take a scripted in weapon. But you can't know if something is duped or scripted in, in most cases. I've been walking around with an AS50 + 8 mags, M9SD + mags, M4A1 CCO SD + mags, every tool, rangefinder, and NVGs, all of which that I got legit, yet most people would say I duped the gear or scripted it in. I wouldn't expect anyone to bury my body if they killed me by outplaying me while I had all that gear, and I wouldn't do that to someone I outplayed, either.

I'm not asking if you would destroy a camp. I would destroy a duper's camp too. I'm asking you, if you killed someone who was full of high end, probably duped gear, would you bury the body or take the gear? Say you found a CZ550 in a barn, went to Elektro sniper hill and came up behind some guy in a ghillie suit and killed him. He has an AS50, 6x mags, M1911 + ammo, Coyote backpack with an L85 in it with ammo, Rangefinder, NVG and med supplies, and a nearly full toolbelt. I think you would definitely take most of that gear and use it. I certainly would. I outplayed him and killed him legit, I earned that gear at my own risk.

Me and my spotter sit on sniper hill outside Cherno and kill everyone on sight. Why? Because I have 1-2 squadmates in the middle of town looting shit, and anyone nearby is a threat. Even if they're unarmed, they can give away my squadmates positions by aggroing zombies, or they could easily acquire a weapon and kill them. If they're armed, then they're an immediate threat and will obviously be taken care of. People often think that they're killed for no reason, I think that often, if you're unarmed and someone hits you with an AS50, it's because you were a threat without knowing it. Maybe the snipers teammate was across the street from you and you were attracting too much attention to the area.

NVG is fine, duping/scripting is the problem. Once NVG is as rare as it should be, it won't be a problem.

Just because it's better doesn't mean it's everyone's main gun. They're rare, the ammo is hard to find, and they're huge and easy to spot. M24 has super common ammo, you can carry around DMR mags instead of 5x clips/mags to save space, it's smaller and share a sound with 3 other guns (easy to mistake it for something else). It also feels better to get a kill with a gun that you actually have to aim with.

.How long you have been playing A month, maybe a little more. .How often do you play Quite a bit, seeing as it's summer .Why you have chosen that lifestyle I play as a pure bandit. I play like that because it's the easiest, fastest, and most fun way to get geared, and it compliments my squad, as most of them don't enjoy PvP as much. I can keep them safe while they loot/scavenge as they like. .What drives you to play like that Loot and fun. .A normal session in DayZ for you Spawn, meet up with squad, depending on our gear level, either head to Cherno/Elektro and get guns/supplies, or head north to Stary. Kill people, get gear, repeat. .Has this game affected aspects of your real life Nope. .What made you choose DayZ Looked fun, and it is. .Why you play DayZ No other game gives as intense of a thrill or as much fun. .How you feel the team has done with the game Pretty good, under the circumstances. It will be a lot better come standalone. .The impact of Hackers/ scripters Very severe negative impact. Borderline making me not want to play. .If you have stopped playing or thinking of stopping, why Game is pretty broken right now, with the scripters and duping. Other than that I love it. . EDIT - Will you be buying the stand a lone game Yes.

North of Zelenogorsk to Cherno.

You completely avoiding my question leads me to believe that you don't destroy duped gear you find. Also, I don't prefer to use an AS50, but I have to if I want my squad to stay competitive against others, because every other squad has 1-2+ AS50 snipers, 2+ L85s, etc., and I sure as hell am not going to hide a body and lose an AS50 (or an L85, or any other gun) that I earned just because it's duped, or scripted, or whatever. As soon as I kill someone, their loot is mine, I earned it fair and square. It would be nice if everyone earned their loot legit, but they don't, and I'm not going to act like a carebear and put myself and my teammates at a disadvantage because other people can't play the game properly.
