They can be legitimitely found on Military Zombies near radio stations, IE green moutain.

Completely justified. People need to learn to comm. He had no reason to continue in your direction except to grief/kill you if he wasn't communicating.

On my way with AS50 and M14 to provide an elektro cleansing.

Try putting this sandbox simulator in Brisbane, Australia. It would be near impossible to get a hold of a firearm. It would be stupid to even consider it to be part of your plan. If this happened in my city I would be heading west and not stopping for an attempt at picking up a firearm.

I'm a bandit. Here are some places I camp and find other bandits camping: 027 075 (North of Prison) 023 073 (West of Prison) (Great for snipers - kill players as they enter or exit the prison as they run directly towards or away from you. Also shuts down 027 075 to some degree) 018 045 The only exit for a number of fresh spawns to get to the rest of the map. Please kill any bandits there, even I hate them. 025 048 Vidora. One of only two easy crossings onto the North of the map. They camp all around Vidora as its the main route to the Prison etc. Its all around Vidora, people vary on where they camp from buildings to the coast line. 047 016 Eastern bush area of Calamar. Bandits who have high gear and don't want to risk the close combat in Calamar and just kill fresh spawns. 047 043 Snipe geared players crossing to the northern parts of the map and Maruko Airport terminal. 028 071 Alternative camping point for the prison 028 062 Common sniper spot for the Airfield

I think maybe you should have asked a question in relation to "reality" or "game balance". I see the weapon as being in a good position in this game. When starting a new life I focus on getting either an Enfield or an AKM and then head north so I can kill players with better weapons and take theirs. For me I see it as serving its purpose in the game. If I have a tent Ill also keep the enfield in there, so if Im looting I use it. People say that its bad for looting because of its audible range, but they are using it wrong. Clear a line of zeds from range and then go into loot. Dont just fire it in the middle of a city. Although even when you do this the zeds are completely manageable if you know how to handle the enfield and zeds. I'm not really into the whole "but this is what id does in real life" as much as I am about balance.

I'm a bandit, to most players. I recently got killed by a clan. I respawn. I hit up towns and Im doing really bad gear wise from looting. I manage to get an AK74 and 1 mag. No tools or anything. I see a guy with an M16 killing zeds. I kill the guy. Im fully geared now, enough to get me north. It would have taken me a substantially more time to loot this gear. I head north to high loot spawns where Im now capable of dealing with other players with high end gear. Nobody was there so I clear out the loot. I now have most of what I need. But players are a threat to me now. The best way to neutralize the threat is to send them back to the coast with no gear. Id love to coop with them, but I dont trust anyone except for people I know.

M14 aim is the best all rounder IMO. FN Fal is pretty good though, I wouldn't complain with either.

I kinda wish this game mod was location based (in a place other than Cherno which isn't really that known) and had a few different maps from different places with unique things like squirrels in them.

Its a survival game. Players need to learn to defend themselves better.

Be careful. I had a run in with a boat a while back. It baited me by giving me the option to "shoot from boat". Of course Im going to do it if I can. Next thing I know Im permanantly attached to the boat. My brother runs the boat off the water and rolls it. I stay permanently attached to the boat. I relog and spawn on the coast with no gear. GG boat, you win.

Confirmed. Just remember to send in the chat logs of this nice guy talk and BI will ban immediately.

Im 12 but I turn 13 next week and my mummy says I look much more mature. Nah im in my 30s. I think this game appeals a bit more to the older players, at least more than most FPS'.

Id really like to kill this guy.

Yeah if Rocket keeps the current model for servers (which I don't want him to, but I think he will) then I think there need to be some stringent rules put in place like 10 minute warnings for server restart. It happens with vehicles and the likes too. Happen to be in a vehicle when the server restarts you may log back in bugged like your in a vehicle but your not etc etc.

I hope your considering putting in weapons cleaning kits into the loot so I can clean my weapons 1-2 times daily so I don't get regular jams.

I really don't think there is alot going on. They are only going to make so much money from the standalone. Rocket never and still doesn't intend on making this into the money making machine that so many people seen it could become. He is happy just to make the game he wants to make. Albeit will take longer with less resources invested.

Thats the barracks at the prison on Lingor island right? Its one of the most common loot farming on the map. Its also where I like to camp players looting and where I run into some really serious clan fights. Its common to find loot farms there, but in this case I'm not sure that's loot farming. Generally players will drop the loot outside the door of the barracks. But the loot is literally where it respawns. I guess it might be possible to pick it up and drop it straight away to reset the spawn. Fully agree here.

The only legit Snipers, as far as im concerned, are snipers who play in clans. Clans need more utility. Their firefights generally revolve around killing other clans. Solo players are best with an assualt rifle IMO. AKM is probably overall the easiest and best to pick up and it can be Zeroed up to 800m.

Ive run into a few of these here too. I used to place tents up there. I honestly think quite a few of them are hacker/exploiter/cheater tents. Scrap that, I know alot are because Ive seen 50+ tents cities with multiple chopers, duplicated bodies and enough weapons and ammo to keep me stocked in DayZ for eternity. Possibly just a case of not abandoned, but can't access them because the owner has been banned.

Personally Im fine with pistols. I only use them on zeds to save ammo on my primary. Fairly sure they were nerfed because of the Cherno Deathmatch game that this apparent sandbox turned into. Going by this rationale, I think he just needs to nerf the hatchet. EDIT: I think theres other ways around it. Some of the servers I play on, it is really hard to see beyond about 500-600metres because of the heavy fog on the map. Considering some of the assualt rifles are effective up to 800 metres (AKM, M16acog) Ive found alot less sniping on these servers. It still happens, but it doesn't take long to close the game because your not getting hit from 1600m away.

No matter where you put it there are going to be hackers to find them. No point putting it right up the top of the map, particularly above Petrovska. Better off putting in near NEAF (Like black lake) or near NWAF. I don't bother with tents. Even in the latest patch my tents are regularly emptied. I figure its hackers if the tents are supposed to be saving gear now. I wouldn't be surprised. Ive had tents completely empty in the space of an hour where I went on a loot run to NWAF to return to an empty tent.... no server resets or anything, just an empty tent.

Survivor: Kills when he has no other choice Bandit: Kills for gear. Muderer: Kills for fun. Hero: Usually a server admin who can immediately respawn. If not, someone who dies alot to help others.

Teleporting seems to be the most used hack in the game right now. I see it so many times where its brutally clear they are doing it. I don't know how they could be so retarded. Like if I was going to do it I would not make it so obvious and teleport out of sight. Nope not them, they do it 100metres in front of you.

There aren't alot of bandits in the game from my experience. Most of the players who kill are murderers, which is something quite different. I think the thing that sets apart a bandit from a murderer is that a bandit kills for gear, a murderer kills because he can. I became a bandit a little while back, but I'm quickly becoming a murderer. The way the game is balanced, there is a very fine line between a murderer and a bandit. Often my kills revolve around the chance that I may loot something reasonable, but in my DayZ lives now it doesn't take very long to gear up and then I get bored and look for something fun to do. My bandit kills tend to be early in the game, I like to head north now with mid range weapon (like an enfield) and kill high geared players who have pretty much everything I need. When I get sick of rebuilding and flying around in a chopper or covering an entire city in road flares then I go kill for fun.
