Pistol symbol on the HUD?

Recommended Posts

I haven't been playing dayz for a while (about 2 months) and am extremely confused with the pistol symbol. It just seems to flash red at the strangest of times and I have absolutely no idea what it means.

Flashing = In Combat (like a zombie chasing you or a player shooting at you)

Just a heads up, someone put you on the "dumbest player you've met" thread for this topic.

It triggers when lots of thigns happen due to the nature of ARMA II programing.

These include:

*Throwing can

*Smoke grenade throw

*Swinging an axe

If it flashes when you didn't do any of those it means somebody is close to you and considered to be in combat

Side note: the last point is why they should remove the combat timer, it gives information to other plays if you like playing stealth.
