The Jackall 55 Posted September 9, 2013 Hi Guys. I have had shit luck when hiding behind trees and guys are firing at me. I get killed 9/10 times. Is there any specific way to hide behind these trees when someone is firing at you? I find that trees are just not viable for cover at all and it doesn't matter which tree I pick. I always pick the biggest tree when hiding from fire, or scouting, and it doesn't seem to matter how big the tree is. If a guy stands oppsite me, he always gets me.

monoking 22 Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) From big distances and putting your graphics on low settings causes the trees become less visible, especially the leaves. Making it easier to get your self spotted but not so bad in close/mid ranges.Sucks to be honest on distance pvp so i would just avoid trees.

Mos1ey 6301 Posted September 9, 2013 It's true, disabling AToC or AA causes trees to become much thinner so people with lower graphics settings will spot you much more easily unfortunately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416 Posted September 9, 2013 Take cover behind maple/oak trees, not pine trees.The trunk of the tree is solid. All a pine tree does is obstruct your vision. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All a pine tree does is obstruct your vision. i never hide behind pine trees when getting fired at. I am talking about maple/oak trees. I thought the guys hack with the way they shoot me behind them. To putt it plaint, the trees are fucking useless and all you need to do is spray at the tree and you will break the guys legs....in order to finish him off.

beatSTV 631 Posted September 9, 2013 hide behind a building don't trust trees its really easy to get an angle if you are behind the trunk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416 Posted September 9, 2013 The only other factor is whether or not you're standing up straight.You obviously stick out more when you're crouched. Other than that, it could just be bad luck. It's not the trees' fault. They're just trees. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RooBurger 285 Posted September 9, 2013 When do you get shot? When trying to return fire or just taking cover? Are you watching them via third person and ensuring they don't have an angle to hit you (please do not start a third person debate, serious question)?

Hellsing (DayZ) 6 Posted October 1, 2013 I personally am not fond of the way the bark dust sticks in ur teeth and hair after an enemy has sprayed his AK clip at you whilst you hide behind that tree.... but I suck at hiding behind trees too, and inevitably end up dying too..... :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jex 1104 Posted October 1, 2013 I used a tree a while back as cover and it worked fine for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
broguenz 333 Posted October 2, 2013 Do not try to hide behind the tree — that's impossible.Instead, only try to realize the truth: there is no tree. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted October 2, 2013 I know this doesn't directly answer regarding trees, but Get behind anything apart from trees if you can, even ditches are better because if you can lose visual then it is safe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diggydug (DayZ) 331 Posted October 2, 2013 My advice: Use trees as cover and move away from whoever's after you, crown a hill if possible, and hide in a pine tree, waiting to get the jump. Most people have trouble hitting a moving target, and trees serve to break their line of sight. That combined with unpredictable movemement helps you out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rob1pr26@yahoo.com 6 Posted October 3, 2013 Yea, turn them Graphics on low Hopefully we will see a fix for this in the SA I have all my graphics set on very high and my ATOC is set to All trees and grass and I can defend myself better than lots of the low settings, trees turned off laptop wielding Alienware nubs out there (jk). This game is way to beautiful on very high and way to ugly on low to be turning it off due to excuses and placebo affects of mediocre competitiveness. In fact, when my graphics card burned out and I was forced to play with my dedicated graphics from my intel I5 (25fps max low) I couldn't identify a single thing and I always had this crappy feeling and ended up turning the game off after 10 minutes. Thats why alot of people that quit playing this game usually have their settings on low and gamers playing with beast machines are still playing this game after a year and a half.
