The old bandit skin is being re added? That almost tempts me enough to go bandit again. I'm looking forward to clip combining for sure.

[Skat3rat 1633]

What is this Clip combining?

One clip has X amount of bullets and the other has X amount of bullets. You can add the X amount of bullets from mag 1 to mag2. That way you don't have two half used clips.

Oh right! I always knew this was an issue and suprised it hadn't been fixed earlier!

[towhook 2]

* [FIXED] - M107 & AS50 Lock on system removed.

This will remove the M107 and AS50 from the game?

[nugget850 1]

* [NEW] - New start gear added. ("Makarov","8Rnd_9x18_Makarov","8Rnd_9x18_Makarov","ItemBandage","ItemPainkiller","HandRoadFlare").

We are getting our trusty makarov back!

[Powell (DayZ) 734]

That changelog is not final, things are subject to change.

be aware of that, dont flip any shits just yet

* [FIXED] - M107 & AS50 Lock on system removed.

this refers to the lock-on mechanism the sight has. Big boxes around players and stuff; this removes said boxes.

cant wait

[Geneva 11]

Great update, especially like: Visible empty slots on tents, More guns at deer stands, NEW Zombies!. Changed zombie damage should be interesting too.

[rossymond 68]

Sounds like a good update on the whole. But why the new starting gear? Is that not just going to end up with more and more KOS

[fluxley 2228]

Yeah, i'm a little surprised by this one too.

[rossymond 68]

I mean on the whole it doesnt effect us Hive owners, we can just keep our vanilla loadout, but for pubic hive, it's another story

[Maxgor 2314]

KOS is gonna happen no matter what. I personally don't see this affecting that much at all really and ends up giving spawned players a slightly better chance at surviving, especially if they aren't well versed in the gameplay, even more so if they are adding in these tougher zombies.

[Trizzo 632]

After being counter sniped through trees at 500+ meters by a m107 after running over a different hill I'm looking forward to the m107 being fixed.

-edit- YAY road flare starting gear! Fuck the torch shit got real, bring back the disco.

-quiver is good news too, it was a cluster fuck of wtf is going with these arrows

Can't wait for this and the other equally awsome features, Razor/crew delivering again.

True its not going to change much, but i feel it will just push new players towards the KoS mentality, Its like "Welcome to DayZ, Here's a gun, go and kill someone."
