Quiver for bolts? [Questions]

[Elv3z 0]

Hello everyone. A friend and I bought DayZ a couple of days ago, and absolutely love it. I have a couple of questions though.

1. Is there an easier way to find your partner? Seems like it takes us forever to find each other.

2. I have a compound crossbow, and I have some bolts for it. Is there a quiver for your bolts? Each bolt I have is taking up a space in my back pack.

3. Where can I find a bigger back pack at?

Thanks in advance for all the efforts to help some noobs out! ;P

1. No

2. Currently no, the crossbow is being entirely redone for standalone, including adding a quiver

3. Supermarkets are the most common place

Hi Elv3z i will try to answer your questions :P

1: Im not certain about an easier way of finding each other in this game. It becomes easier and easier to know where You are personaly the more you play. The more you play, the more landmarks you'll start to recognize (such as radio towers outside of cities). Try to pick a spot where you want to find each other based on a landmark you remember. Or if one of you have a map, ask your friend where he is (he can see where he is when he connects to the game for 3 seconds at the bottom right of his screen). If neither of you have a map, use an online map through google or some such to decide a spot to meet up at.

2: Im afraid there is no quiver for bolts in this game, (i heard it will be in the standalone of Dayz). As such the crossbow is considered quite.. useless, because of how much room the bolts take up. The bolts are recoverable though, and if you have impeccable aim (you hit everyone, everything all the time without any problem at all( you can recover the bolt. Unless your target falls onto the bolt itself. I'd personaly take a double barrelled shotgun, rifle or hell.. Even a melee weapon over a crossbow due to its low amount of damage.

Its a great challenge weapon though. If you ever want a challenge in this game, try to sneak up on a player and shoot him in the head with a crossbow. :D

3: You can find a bigger backpack pretty much anywhere, but the most common place to find larger backpacks are at the supermarkets in cities. You can also try Northwest airfield, Northeast airfield or random shacks in town's. (i've found an alice pack in supermarkets, shacks near the harbor and so on)

Hope you have a lot of fun playing Dayz ^^ be on the lookout for crashed helicopters on the ground! They're rare but can give you some neat loot!

Pretty much exactly what smasht said. I once found 3 ALICE packs in one super market :D

Search the forums, some dude quiver for the mod one in what amounted to one evening. It's just not gonna happen for the mod.
