FrostyKush 44 Posted June 17, 2013 I was playing on a server last night and was told the new patch included a .308 sniper rifle nerf bringing the new damage down to around 3000. I didn't see any mention of this anywhere else and was just curious if this is actually the case? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Statik (DayZ) 2695 Posted June 17, 2013 I don't know much about guns, but what kind of .308 would do 3k damage? And that's not in the new patch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FrostyKush 44 Posted June 17, 2013 Right man, that's exactly what I'm saying. I got into a 20 minute argument with the owners of the server I was on, like how the hell are you gonna tell me a .308 does less then a .223?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DavidK 0 Posted June 22, 2013 Sniper rifle is also one of my favorite weapon in Day Z and I also found out that its damage decrease. I don't know if the zombie has high HP or def but maybe some sniper rifle are being nerf. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fluxley 2228 Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) No theres no nerfery of snipers going on here, there are new Viral zeds that can take almost as much damage as a player though. Edited June 22, 2013 by Fluxley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
