Does no one read patch notes? This was fixed, it was incorrectly spawning a M107 that took the backpack slot, rocket fixed it.

SO, haven't found a crashed heli since the update. Does the loot spawn AROUND the heli, or IN it. Also, does it respawn like normal loot (making it farmable ala barracks) or does it only show up on a server restart? EDIT: I'm retarded, had like 3 tabs open and thought I was in General Discussion, can a mod move this? Sorry

What I wouldn't give to hold the Hand of God and shoot down a heli with it.

Thanks, was sitting here facepalming and couldn't even bring myself to respond. Thought I made it overly clear.....

I know this works for a fact. I have both a PC and a laptop. I let my friend use my laptop to play DayZ while I use my PC, but if I log my account in on the laptop, I can play my character. Same if he logs into steam on my PC. Characters are tied to the cd-key, which is tied to you steam account.

As I had recently spawned right next to Electro I decided to go into town and get some loot before moving inland to Stary Sober. Normally I avoid the coast. First building I go into has a frag grenade, I think sweet, never had a chance to use one of these. No more then 5 minutes later I see a survivor over by the docks, I sneak through the grass towards him. I see him go prone, and then the grass starts getting pushed over as he crawls towards me. I pull out my grenade anxious to use it, and throw it towards where I see him crawling. Except it wasn't him, it was a crawling zombie, I wasted a grenade on a single zombie. As I ran over to what I thought was his corpse, I see that its a zombie, and as I stand there doing a double take, he shoots me from down the street.......... I IZ GUD BANDIT

It has nothing to do with DayZ, and is incompatible. It is another mod for ARMA 2 that most servers run for more realism.

So, safe to say this isn't happening today?

Its not a bug, you have to use your scroll wheel on your mouse to open the menu and choose TAKE ALICE PACK instead of OPEN ALICE PACK, which is the default option when you hit enter. EDIT: Also, thats because you have flares or something selected, press F to change between gun/cans/flare.

lmao

The passing out thing from ACE is like the only I hate from that mod. I never understood why they wouldn't just put a cap on what you can carry, instead of having like 1kg over the hidden limit and passing out every 50m. So much rage at that feature, in reality, if you had enough on your back that you would pass-out from running, you wouldn't even start running in the first place, when it comes down to it, you have to have some "gamey" features. To much realism isn't fun. So far all the realism stuff rocket has put in takes it just far enough, but not so far that it isn't fun to play.

Ya, get rid of the flashlight, those things aren't worth the trouble, and they give away your position better then a thrown flare ever would.

I kill loads of military zombies, they drop grenades and ammo. But ya, firing a Enfield or a CZ within 200m of any zombie is death. In the middle of Berenzino me and some friends killed a few zombies with pistols, no problems. I was forced to fire my CZ at a bandit though, and 10 seconds later we had 50+ zombies on us. There were less then 10 zombies in the immediate area, so must have pulled them from the fields and down the road over 150m away.

From what I've seen a headshot with any weapon will kill. Headshot quite a few people with the mak and only needed 1 shot. I think the enfield and the cz are about the same for noise and damage, its just a difference of scope/clip size (AND BOTH THESE WEAPONS USE A CLIP SO DON'T GO OFF ABOUT THAT) :P EDIT: So the CZ is probably loaded a single bullet at a time, but could totally use a clip.

Always been 10 when I've tried, secondary weapons take up 5 though.

Yes, 10 slots, or half an Alice pack (hurts more when you think of it like that).

I just wish rocket could use the ACE ballistic system, so much better/realistic. Never seen better sniping ballistics.

Believe it is the opposite. Bullets begin to slow the second they leave the barrel, losing energy, which in-game means losing damage. I know that the AK for example 1-shots zombies within 5-10m but past that takes 2 shots to kill.

Does anyone have any footage of player hunting/pvp with a crossbow? Thinking of trying this just for kicks and was hoping so see some gameplay from someone that already does this.

Thanks man, I will do it once I die again, took my first trip to the NW airfield, so enjoying my military gear, next life will be more low tech. EDIT: Wait is the xbow a 1-shot without headshots now? Some of your kills seemed that way, if so it might be worth using as a main weapon now.
