I spawned in "wilderness" and after 3 hours (yes, 3 hours) of running I'm 2 map lengths away from nearest city and no more food. There goes my NVGs and other shit I barely managed to get...

For as much as Rocket says he hates us and wants to drink our tears, I've never seen a developer of any kind have so much love for the community.

Rocket you need to change the space a flashlight takes in the backpack. Its wayyyy to big at the moment. One or max 2 space should be enough.

Awsome news Rocket ;)

You gotta add a knife as a melee though....cos everyone knows you run faster with one in your hand!!!

A handgun or flashlight takes up 5 slots, but a jerry can takes up 3...What a crazy country Chernarus is!

guys how are going to kill zombies/people by pressing G and then right clicking on the hatched ICON? its just a woodcutting animation!

it is only logical

I didn't read anything in those patch notes about having to open your gear menu to swing the damned hatchet, I do however see that it says you must right click it in your inventory to DROP it. Could you please tell me where you acuired this information?

[nivi 4]

Wow, melee weapons, thats amazing but how its even going to work?

[thealgerian 2]

Would be very nice if anyone told me if the loot thing fixes also the huge FPS drop?

[eZach 0]

SOOOOOOO Happy for the melee. It's needed.

[outlawxxable 10]

I'm assuming we will have to stand still to use melee?

I hope this isn't a joke. It would be totally awesome. Or, better yet. How about a a board with a rusty nail in it!?
