The AS50 does equal damage in comparison to the M107 when using M107 magazines, but if the AS50 is using AS50 magazines (which the M107 cannot use), its damage spikes exponentially. This may seem pointless considering the AS50 will one-shot with regular M107 ammunition, but that spike in damage means the AS50 can take out any vehicle with ease. The AS50 ammunition also allows for greater muzzle velocity, reduced bullet drop and a decrease in sound. So with the AS50, you get over the M107: -- More plentiful ammunition due to usage of two different magazine types, not just one. -- Greatly increased damage when using AS50 rounds, making the weapon ideal for destroying vehicles. -- Greater muzzle velocity when using AS50 rounds. -- Reduced bullet drop when using AS50 rounds. -- Reduced noise when using AS50 rounds. The AS50 is superior to the M107 because of this. The only thing you can viably argue for in the M107's favor is the massive sound generated by the weapon being an intimidation factor when used against other players.

I dunno man, I found 5 vehicles in the last week on my home server. I shot up a tractor, my friend wrecked a hatchback, another friend blew up another tractor, we have a military jeep, and a military truck. Also found an ATV, but theyre crap. Keep lookng dude.

Hey, I found a motorcycle, and I'd like to know how much gear I can put in it before it starts deleting items. I have heard that for tents and vehicles there it is not the same inventory for weapons/tools/backpacks/regular gear etc. So I'd like to know exactly what is the maximum I can put in. Thanks :).

If you're looking for a vehicle spawn map, you can google that too. I don't look for where vehicles spawn because most players keep it near their tents so if you find a good enough tent, chances are somewhere nearby tucked between some bushes or trees is a vehicle or two. I just did a search on Google, first few links were http://maplib.net/fullmap.php?id=14400 http://dayzdb.com/map (this one seems pretty legit, never heard of it until I found it just now) and many others. The point is.. with time, patience and utilizing the resources I've shown you and everyone here.. you can get some decent gear within just an hour or two if not just a little bit longer. :)

No they can't. An admin shutting the server down when he's offline to protect his camps/ vehicles is against TOS

As you can see, from the 2 screenshots, I am overlooking the Stary Sobor military tent area. To my knowledge, the only vehicles that are supposed to spawn here are a Jeep and a Bus. (Also a helicopter, but we all know the situation with those at the moment). From what I can tell, it looks to be functional, yet upon attempting to interact with it, all of my efforts thus far have failed. I'd shoot it, to determine if the engine would light up, but I'm in Stary Sobor. Zombie hordes, anyone? Anyway, just curious if there's something I have to repair to get this thing working again / accessible somehow, or if I should leave it be and quit wondering about it. Also, I have no idea how one of my CZ550 mags (see upper right corner) has managed to accumulate a 19 round capacity, but I'm going to assume it's something to do with switching between it and my AKM (Formerly FAL). Not entirely positive.

I tend to bounce around the place looking for something to get my heart goin. pretty much strictly PVP. Sometimes I'll go look for crash sites and vehicles but for the most part the PvE portion of the game and survival itself is a complete joke. Once you know how to play the game properly it's pretty trivial to do anything but survive against the REAL threat. Because it's the only place on the entire map that has military mess halls, which have the highest chance of dropping high tier items.

Honestly this makes a TON of sense. It seems like there is no hope on servers like that because all of the vehicles have already been taken by guys who are basically exploiting. Sucks when an honest guy can't get any good stuff because the clans are riding around cherno in their death machines raiding everything 10x as fast. *EDIT* Btw we don't have any problems getting basic survivial stuff. Packs, food, canteens, knives, matches, basic guns are easy to come by during a quick run in Cherno or Elektro but the highgrade stuff is tough. My buddy was running from Kamenka to Cherno when two guys in Ghillies veered to run him over and break his legs. They both hopped off, gave him morphine, then laid an AS50 on the ground with ammo and told him to wait till they were gone to touch it. Needless to say he waited and let them go on their way. HOW does one possess enough crap that an AS50 is used for apologies???

Join clan, clan gets server, clan mates go to loot points .. Server reboot, clan takes vehicles, stores them north. No one else drives. :|

Today, myself and a friend took a truck from the northwest corner of the map, and found 3 others driving vehicles. After a few shots, I dropped, and my friend drove our truck off. He ran roughly 10km away, and when we linked up again, I quickly pulled an l85 out and we set a satchel charge along the road. We killed one of the vehicles with the satchel, a player along with it, and I saw another in the woods through the thermal. I unloaded 3 clips into him (my friend confirming multiple hits with his Binoculars) however he did not die. He then proceeded to shoot at us, and we could not kill them. After leaving the hacker (His name was "Rohil") we were told by a friend that 10 players were logged as dead, and everyone that was near us (we were in Zelenogorsk) was dead *including our friend*. I know it is unlikely anything will be done about this, but I can provide any more information (we did not record the actual event)

I have 3 vehicles and 1 to be repaired, what should I do with them though? Look for crash sites? Loot & Run? Just roaming? I have nothing to do in End-Game anymore... :(

I like this idea. I also think a few cut branches to cover tents or vehicles is also needed for camo.

Maybe if the vehicles engine has been on within a certain time period it would show up, and fade as it cooled?

So my friend died, respawned in electro and decided to meet up with me to reclaim what little I could collect from his dead body at the NWAF. A long, boring run later, I hit Balota Airfield, or atleast I stopped just 800 meters from it. I sit around, watching zombies and fresh spawns tackle each other on the strip and generally listen to the .50cal snipers trying very poorly to claim a kill from them. After a few minutes, the gunfire lets up, and my friend tells me he is nearby with a double barrel shotgun and is coming to me. We'll call him Araon. So Araon makes his way across a large open field and heads to me, against my wishes (note the snipers I mentioned). But luckily for him, nothing was thrown his way, and he made it to me unharmed. As he dug around in my backpack, looking for his M4A1 CCO, I hear an odd noise. I look up and scan the area, "What the f*** is that?" I ask into my mic, before noticing the answer was less than a second away. On the road was a bus, with a motorcycle escort. "Holy s***, a bus!" I screamed, bringing my AKM to my face and putting out 30 rounds in semi-auto, hitting the bus more than a few times. My buddy scattered into the tree line, in a mix of confusion and adrenaline. He didn't fire, but instead headed for the road to see if the bus had stopped. It did not. He regrouped, scanned the area quickly, with little regard towards our lives, and when I noticed the noise was heading away I decided to give chase. First we ran through the trees, looking for any hint that the mobile goldmine might have stopped, but when we were met with little more than zombies I decided to quickly head back up into the trees and head for the next town. The journey was quick, and full of me cursing my inability to hit the bus's wheels. As we hit Kamenka, I noted from the hill that there were zombies moving around. And then I spotted the roof of the bus, roughly 600 meters away. I raised my rifle, reported the position to my comrade, and proceeded to fire off another 26-28 rounds from my AKM. The bus disappeared out of sight, signalling that I once again had missed my prey. But stuborn as I was, I raced down the hill in an attempt to corner those fleeing. We swept around and checked a nearby road to make sure the bus hadn't fled the coast, and when we spotted zero zombies by a nearby building, I knew they were still nearby. I was a bit angry, as I no longer heard the noise of the bus, and told Araon that any loss of the bus would be his fault. (He never fired on it). At that point we heard gunfire, but was unable to pin down the location. We couldn't tell if the owners of the bus were firing at us, or taking fire from someone else, either way, we'd find out soon enough. We ran through the woods a short distance and found a small clearing, and stopped to give Araon a blood transfusion. "If they get away, I blame you." I said with a slight frown. Once the transfusion was done, I looked around, trying to see if I could spot the bus in the distance. I could not. I was almost done when I spotted a hint of white along the road, near a pack of trees. I pulled out my binocs and seen a pleasurable sight. The bus roof was shining through the spaces between the trees. I ordered Araon to get ready as we moved to the trees, and ordered him to both stand his ground and fire on any targets that he seen. Once he seemed to understand that, I gave one last order, "If you need to reload, do it from behind the trees." He had a bad habit of standing in front of his targets, I hoped he'd listen this time. His death at the NWAF had come from sitting in the open, taking another player's M4 to his face. So we hit the road, spotting the parked bus and the nearby motorcycle. Without even needing to look around, I seen a man by the name of Mark standing near the bus. He hadn't seen us, and this would be his downfall. "Middle of the road, take him out." I fired 3 rounds from my AKM, then scanned the area for other targets as my comrade openned up with his M4A1. No additional targets were spotted, and when I noticed Mark twitching on the ground I pumped 2 more rounds into him, ending his life. I ducked into the tree line, hitting the other side. I expected to see any number of hidden targets, and instead I see Araon run infront of me. I nearly placed half a mag into his butt, when he reported his location. Then I spot something out in the corner of my screen. "Friendly Medic, does anyone need assistance?" Are you kidding me? I turn to see a person with MEDIC clearly visible in the middle of their name, freaking standing in the road looking directly at me. Without a gun, I judged the target to not be a threat, though he could easily be sending information to whomever might still remain. But as I swept my gun around I noticed the nearby zombies were frozen in place. I switched back to the medic and told him, "Combat zone, please leave" and watched him haul tail away, taking no time to look back. My buddy asked why we couldn't shoot him, but I repeated what I had said many, many times before, "No gun, no target." Meaning in my own special way, that a person without a gun is not a threat in the present tense, and wasting ammunition on them could give away your position. We checked the surrounding area, and found nothing more than the Bus, a Motorcycle, and the body of Mark, as well as a rabbit stuck in a tree, and a zombie stuck in place, crawling near a downed tree (pine, looked like it had been taken out with explosives, or maybe the bus rammed it?). But the things we found on the body were a little disheartening for Araon. We found Mark was carrying nearly no weapons (a PDW with almost no ammunition), but held a coyote backpack filled with medical supplies. As I hadn't seen the medic even get near the corpse, I assumed that this wasn't a clan, or small group of ill-prepared bus owners, but that we had just hit a Medic Escort... Today we took home a bus, which only had engine damage... Well, until Araon decided to try to blow out the tires and hit the fuel tank, which burned it to a husk. And a motorcycle, which is now abandoned at a poorly hidden camp. We claimed a coyote backpack and a ton of medical supplies. But I have to ask, did I kill a medic's guard, or did I kill some random defender of a bus, and a medic happened by? Server was US1180. Happened today, in the evening. Sure, not the best story, but whatever. Outside of stealing vehicles from camps and killing random people in the woods, my days are pretty boring.

If it is possible, I think something like a camo tarp could be added to make it easier to hide vehicles. I think there could be 3 sizes: Small, Medium, Large, with bigger vehicles needing bigger tarps. SMALL TARP -Hides Vehicles like ATV's and motorcycles -Three small tarps can be combined into one medium tarp MEDIUM TARP -Hides cars and jeeps like the Skoda, UAZ and Offroad Pickup -Three medium tarps combine to one large - Can be broken down into three small tarps LARGE TARP -Used to hide vehicles like Busses, URALs and Helicopters (when re-introduced) -Can be broken down into 3 medium tarps Tarps could be placed on a vehicle to increase it's ability to be hidden, make it look more like a tent possibly. Would need to be removed before vehicle can be driven. Ideas? Opinions?

Maybe it's easier for people want to ally with me since I'm close to the admin and I have a camp with infinite resources and vehicles, so they can kill me and I can just re-up in 5 minutes or they can ally with me and get as much stuff as they want..

Repair vehicles, try out different weapons, build a larger group (now got around 10 friends playing), make a camp, explore the entire map, try out new patches, some alpha bug finding/confirmation and some occasional pvp and looting the hot spots. Never been to central Cherno though.

Honestly, you back up all your statements with broken english, poorly thought out sentences and terrible overall coherency. You are calling other people morons because they can get better gear than you? No one said that they could get this gear in an hour, but it is honestly not that hard when you have a group to work with you aswell. Don't quote zealot saying "I can get a full kit set" as proof that someone said this. This means hatchet+ other tools, decent prim, decent secondary. Now, first of all, this was not a random server hop, I got into the server for one reason, that reason being "I'ma blow this bus up" I listened to their teamspeak for a bit and then decided it was time to act. I would go get you the recording of me logging in and saying Day 8 - Airfield if you want but their really is no point, you would probably say it was edited or some shit. These guys are known admin abusers, there has been more than one thread about it, even linking to OTHER communities saying that their leader, robocop abuses on all of their servers. Furthermore, the first time that we killed them they went digging for Zealots Facebook profile, sorry if you don't understand, they went looking for personal information, on the internet, over a game. Sorry they lose all credibility for anything about that, It's downright disgusting behaviour to have. Moving onwards, if you go look at the youtube comments you will see one "xtgmalinky" raging like a child that was refused their candy, Once again showing their immaturity. Now lets get onto the next topic. Sure they reserve the right to lock/ban us out of their teamspeak, but as said here by Rocket you CAN NOT lock servers or ban people from the servers unless they are hacking/acting maliciously. Please note: this post is meant for the 5% of server owners who are being dicks, not the 95% who are awesome. Kicking of Players for Clan members: This has been requested. While we do want to have some "reserved slots" this effectively requires either a lot of scripting or changes to the base game code. It is something that is being worked on but it is not finished Originally we trialed allowing servers to kick out players who had either donated money or were clan members of the owner, to allow space for someone else. Abuse of this became RAMPANT. Server owners need to start wising up. We are only processing about 20 to 30% of server requests for hosting due to the massive volume of offers. The clan servers need to realize they cannot just do whatever they feel like because their actions affect the rest of the game and the servers. Think about it, if we let server owners do this, what is stopping them from kicking someone who just killed them? What is to stop them kicking people for arbitrary reasons? Who polices this? The policy is in place because it makes sense. So after all this, the only thing left to address is you calling Zealot a hacker. Well.. Guess what, thats me playing I can confirm that there is no hacking in yeti bro's and absolutely no duping. We have started a thread already about this particular clan/community and it got a lot of attention. Why would we make another, especially if we're hacking ourselves? Oh, those poor admins putting up with so much shit. Thats bullshit I know admins and they don't flip out when shit goes wrong, or when they die, or when one of their vehicles is blown up. It's a fucking joke that these people are given any sympathy from the community. We infiltrated the teamspeak for fun, you might say "Oh well you have no life" fuck off, we all play games what sort of contradiction is that? You are reading this post right now when you could be out doing something thats related to your "irl" social life, but you're not. Does that make you a no life? No it means that you play video games and are interesting in seeing the game become better. We infiltrated their teamspeak to send them a message, shortly after they locked all of their rooms, banned numerous innocent people from their teamspeak and had the biggest rage I have ever seen. I leave you with this, if I go host a server and lock it then go to another server and PvP that is called CHEATING. I don't understand why this particular community with such a background of admin abuse is still having their server running when it is so easily proven that they are doing things against the TOS Your friendly yeti bro Oracle.

And yes, you have to fill the ATV (same for all vehicles) at the point where the gas tank refilling cap is/would be. ATV I believe it's on the left side in the middle.. need to crouch and just mouse around a bit until you see the icon come up for it.

Quick question: if I have a vehicle in one server and then log out/log into a different server, will my vehicle be in the new server?

did your tents appear but not your vehicle? there's sometimes a glitch where tents and vehicles don't spawn in and will reappear on the next reset. Saving a vehicle isn't critical anymore its more of an old feature the vehicle saves everytime you get out of it or access the gear

but the problem ye mention there, isnt really a problem, its the a challenge of what your trying to accomplish XD i dont think so, how are these vehicles even distributed? there is essentially still a desire to trade in-game, but is being seemingly assisted by provided armored vehicles to trading players. Still, I think any trading should be set up by players only with the resources freely accessible in game, if they choose the island, tbh i guess that is another good location... no metal detectors though XD

Server restarts spawn new vehicles. But you can save a location or something (I don't have many vehicles~)

So from what I understand, there is a finite amount of vehicles on a server, and unless they are blown up, they will be only where someone had left one/at its spawn? The problem I see with this being that once all vehicles are found they will be hoarded and kept very hidden and unless you were one of the first people on a server, you dont stand a very good chance on ever seeing a vehicle. Thoughts?

The server may need another restart, however, if there are other vehicles and tents your car most likely got stolen.
