Oh what would i pay to have a compass like the one in the game. Needle points rigidly to north, no wavering at all, not even when running. You can literaly read it in a second. Nothing interferes with the compass, absolutely nothing. Are you below high voltage powerlines? No problem sir, i´m magial compass who doesn´t give a shit. And that gun you´re carrying, the one that normaly could cause all sorts of errors on my reading, well that might aswell not exist, not a problem sir. Only downside is that the compass prefers to have two hands touching it, and that´s a small price to pay.

So, after hearing some people say bipods didn´t have effect on accuracy even when deploeyd, i decided to record a little test. Range is 800m~ (calculated from map) incidentaly that´s also the max zeroing on the long range scope. Bipod and ammo are pristine, but the scope was worn (which is ok since it was constant for bipod/no bipod shots) End results? Deploying bipod improves accuracy. Here´s a picture of end results: Orange dots are hits with bipod deploeyd (15 shots in total) Cyan dots are hits with bipod undeploeyd (15 shots in total) I appologise if they´re bit hard to see. <edit> And here´s the video...finaly

I´d need to do test with multiple attachments in different conditions to measure that, something which i don´t have access to at the moment. But the only variable in this test was deployed/not deployed bipod, so any change in dispersion is from there.

Unlike military vests, it does offer ballistic protection, which imho sould be rare.

Either hopping, or lucky enough to find unlooted NWAF, i had almost that amount when i went through one.

Train stations (enterable ones) have a chance to spawn it, atleast that´s where i found mine.

I realised the picture is bit of a clusterfuck, especialy since the colors i chose kinda blend in with eachother, so here´s 2 more screenies, one with bipod shots and one with nobipod shots. Again orange for deployed, cyan for undeployed.

aaaand the video is up.

Went through the recordings frame by frame, and marked the shots on a screenshot. Yes it is, incidentaly i´ve made test on that too: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/158644-m4-test-video/#entry1590634

"I have altered the deal, pray i don´t alter it further."

Matches aren´t needed to ignite gas stove, just drop it on ground, hover over it and there´s option to turn on. Can´t cook anything on it though, or atleast i haven´t heard anyone has managed to cook anything, somebodygot as far as adding a pot on the stove though i think. I heard rope. stick and burlap sack make a makesift backpack, haven´t tried it out though, burlap sack can be used to blinfold people in the future though. Personaly i haven´t been able to read/write notes, but pens can be used as melee weapon. Rocks, wood, (sticks), (paper), (matches) supposedly make fireplace, though i haven´t heard anyone having been able to craft this.

Yet another M4 accuracy thread, cause might as well, iron sights this time. (might not be available in HD yet, in that case, just wait a bit)

Only if we can get the plane they built for that gun as an attachment.

Well, there was doublebarreled shotgun in one of the streams as far as i recall, but it crashed the player who shot it. So i´d expect that to make it in first. As for how usable they´ll be...they´re shotguns, go past 60m and it´s unlikely you get a bird down, much less a human being.

Well if someone wants it and they´ll have time down the line...why the hell not...as long as they preserve the real kick, rarity and handling... or lack of it. Shooting anyone with it, or even finding ammunition would be total bitch naturaly, but if kiddies want it, let em have it.

You need to own one. As for viewing it i found putting it on hotbar worked for me, couldn´t get the key i bound to work.

One more thing i forgot to point out earlier is that at distances of 200m or more, it takes 2 body shots to take down a zed, so i´d say ironsights with bipod can accurately hit human size target at 200m.

Find night server, locate norhtern star in the sky, keep it to behind and left and start running to that direction, should bring you to somewhere.

should work now.

Anyone up for creating a library on a specific server once tents are in?

You wait untill the patch with radios comes in, find one, and chat to your hearts content.

I wouldn´t want to make it too easy for myself now would i :P ? It only takes few seconds to input that into a calcultaor anyhow.

The problem is, that you don´t need ungodly speeds to create the problem for some of us. I´ve had to adjust my mouse sensitivity right up and adapt style where i use mouse very slowly (compensated by high sensitivity), to not end up looking at the ceiling. It´s not muose smoothing,aiming deadzone etc. It´s not just the problem caused by negative acceleration, where camera only slightly turns when you use mouse fast. When i drag mouse across the screen, it jumps up and down, without any imput from me to do so. gtx560m here, and razer death adder.

I´ve found rangefinder, it´s called map and some basc trigonometry. Zoom in, 1 small square in map is 100m, a^2+b^2=c^2, c being the longest side of triangle.

460 | Attachment_Light_TLR - Pistol Flashlight Is propably what was seen on the stream. That´s from the list of all the items within game files someone datamined, it´s either disabled currently or very rare.
