    Best place for FNX mags

    Look in the boxes in the fire station. Make sure lot look down into them to make sure you find them.

    Nemesis Arms Vanquish Rifle

    Nice rifle system but impractical for the tactical uses we see in DayZ. The bipod benefits are impossible to recreate on a computer screen as well. They are ergonomic benefits, not functional.

    FNX45

    Check that it didn't come with a mag. Click on the weapon and see if it gives you the option to remove magazine.

    A question (Requiring Answers)

    Tough titties if no ain't good enough. How about you open the game and look for that option? Can't find it? That's because No.

    Possible to know my health?

    Even with the torch I find it hard to tell.

    Muzzle flash!

    Haven't been to Afghanistan but spent some time in E Africa and have a pretty decent working knowledge of AR and AK variants. Re muzzle flash, it's a Video game ferchrissakes. Is it a bit exaggerated? Sure. Does it bother me? Not at all. As it stands there are FAR too few consequences to firing a weapon in SA. Anything that ameliorates that is fine by me. I'm getting a distinct "Waahhh, I miss my semi auto silenced no recoil invisible and weightless AS50" vibe from this.

    My problem is at night you can't tell the grey level.

    DayZ Item Use Compendium

    Do you have to have all four cardinal maps to combine them? I could not combine an E and a SW or a SE and SW.
  10. Colonel , remember that the M4 is acting as a placeholder for many different weapons to come.
  11. Been playing as much as I can since Monday afternoon. Today I finally logged in to feel the glorious sunlight warming me in my green hoodie. Oh what a wonderful change of pace it was:). Didn't last long, about an hour in I was one shotted from somewhere in a tree line as I was busy killing zombies. As soon I respawned the dreary night had returned but that one hour was nice. Guess here in Chicago the sun only shines for an hour on Sunday morning each week.

    funny moment while cooking

    Very good!
  13. It's taken me a while but I am starting to get the hang of the axes. I was a killing machine with my trusty old hatchet in the mod. Here it seems that the zombies are moving much less jankily (is that a word?), but the hit algorithm seems much more random. Engaging zombies in the open is a MUCH more predictable affair now and that more than offsets their ability to run inside. While we are thinking things hatchety; Is there any damage difference between splitting axes and fire axes? I just go for whichever is in better condition but I feel like maybe the fire axe is stronger. I'll still take a pristine splitter over a worn or damaged fire axe.

    FNX45

    Yeah, I found one a couple days ago and spent half an hour looking for ammo and a mag only to find that it was fully loaded with 15 rounds! #facepalm

    Why KoS is retarded.

    Hmm good point. I have had a couple occasions where i have noticed a bug in picking something up or floating items or whatever but couldn't really stop to document as I could hear shots or players moving.

    Mosin vs M4A1

    One thing I noticed about the Mosin is that I was able to spot a couple players who were crouching with the Mosin on their backs with bayonet attached. It's like a big honkin' antenna shouting "here I am!"

    Flipside of Server Hopping

    More notches for your epeen. Whatever floats your boat, seems a bit lame to me, if you are truly into pvp, wouldn't you want a challenge? Your way seems tedious and boring frankly. Even in Wasteland, camping held no attraction for me.
  18. So far I've found four M4s but no ammo or mags. One I found in a school on the top floor room but the rest were in barracks, wait one was in an atc. I haven't found a single round of ammo yet though. Plenty of moisin ammo is lying around.
  19. octarine

    Where are you finding M4 ammo/mags?

    Thanks, I usually avoid the jail buildings they seem to be cursed for me. I think that the times I get to play mean I hit servers after most ammo has been looted. Since I don't pvp I have to hunt for scraps.

    Hallelujah! I have seen the light!!!

    24/7 is too much but 15 hours night to one hour daylight seems a bit skewed.

    Looting tents in balota..

    Maybe because they like the survival aspect of one man against the zombie world and want to explore that aspect without losing hours of invested game time so some kos kiddie can add a notch to his epeen. Ps damn I tortured that metaphor.

    every server is dark

    11 hours played so far all at night. daytime servers are pings in the high 100's and 200's so it basically unplayable. The first 8 hours were fun but now its just getting monotonous and boring.

    Bodies just disappearing

    Consider it the equivalent of a player about to die pulling the pin on a grenade to booby trap his own body like Leon did in The Professional.

    yo fix loot!

    Tulga is visited more than elektro? Tulga is visited more than Cherno? Tulga is visited more than Stary? Tulga is visited more than Balota? I could go on but your assertion is absurd on its face. There are a dozen or more towns that get more visitors. ESPECIALLY seeing as how in the mod there's basically no reason to go there. I assumed that there would be some loot there and I was initially hopeful as EVERY SINGLE door was closed. Those must have been some spectacularly well mannered fucking looters to take the time to close every door on their way out of town. And water makes you pass out now? So, we spawn in dying of thirst and starvation but if we drink enough water till we are full we pass out? That's simply ridiculous. This game is starting to make no sense and I have been one of its biggest defenders. So how do you know if you have drunk enough if the first time you get a message that you are full it is already too late?

    yo fix loot!

    How about this. I spawned on the coast by Skalisty Island. Hit three houses empty except for a motorbike helmet. Figure I'll try Tulga as its inland a bit. Walk there as apparently my character is too dumb to run and hold a flashlight at the same time. Get to Tulga and find two cans of food, and not a damn thing else in the entire village. Just found a can of soda which I dont need as I filled up with water at the well. That only took FIFTY FIVE drinks!!! 55 drinks to be full. Now Im passed out and I have not seen a single zombie. I like survival but this is not gameplay. This is like that game the guy made up where you click on a cow and nothing happens.
