Sniper Rifles

[.VincenT. 45]

I know you guys have probably been through this a few times, but why exactly are they not getting added to DayZ SA?

[i_push_buttons 23]

Mosin

 

High Powered Scope

 

And there are probably a large number of weapons that simply aren't added yet, they just added a new one the other day didn't they?

Where did you see that? I don't recall ever hearing that there will be NO sniper rifles at all.

Who said they're not being added to the SA?

[Mos1ey 6301]

There won't be any .50cals, but I'm sure we'll see a few more scoped weapons.

[starthealmighty 597]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this works just like a sniper to me 

[Kipale 78]

This works

Adding a scope to an enfield does not make it a sniper rifle. There is a difference between a military sniper and a hunting rifle.

And there we go, why? I just wanna know.

Let me guess, you want the AS50, M107, DMR, M24, and the SVD Camo added to the server. Personally, I hope these are gone forever. If you want to snipe people, go play the mod.

There are plenty of scopes laying around and mosins to attach them too. Go craft ya a sniper rifle since that's what you wanna do.

It's stupidly powerful for the game. This isn't a military sim, it's a zombie game focused on survivors, not finding extremely rare .50 snipers. Plus it will stop silly hill snipers shooting new spawns.

You hope their not getting added again, tell me why? Nobody can give me a real reason.

Uh.. that's not an Enfield. Just sayin'

Well there is military bases. Also it just makes people act more carefully, also whats so silly, good for you, go up there with a hatchet sneak up behind im and your loaded with gear. The people that got sniped in elektro and cherno are just plain stupid.

Basically the same. M4A1 is not an M16.

You're cute.

That said, I still hope there are heli crashes or something similar. Not specifically for hi-end gear, but for the added incentive for exploration. Even if they only gave access to canned food and currently available gear, I'd still be stoked to find one.

 You sir, made my day.

Source  on this?

And you just gave me a brink of hope.

[xX_fr0st-w0lf_Xx (DayZ) 343]

Theres 1000000000000000000000001 things  to add/fix before we see some sniper rifles.

Because that's all people want to do. Troll player trying to play this game. You want to pvp? Meet them on the field head on. Don't hide 800 meters out to kill players and not even loot them. I snipe on the Mod and there is nothing satisfying about it.

Yay! I killed guy with my AS50 overpowered sniper. Shot him in the foot and killed him. I'm awesome at sniping!!

If that statement is you, then go play a battlefield 4 or Call of Duty. Or wait......you can play ARMA 2 and ARMA 3.

Snipers kinda ruin a zombie apocalypse game. Fight someone for their loot, not just to troll other players cause you think it's skills.

Any of the pre-release devblogs. Rocket has said countless times that he wants to focus on civilian and low grade military weaponry as .50cal rifles, TWS, etc. do not fit the setting.

If your getting sniped, its your own fault, then you suck. DONT blame the damn AS50 for it. OP? If you stand still in the middle of an field and then wonder why your dead you blame the snipers? Cmon. This reminds me of CSGO where everybody calls out hacks when somebody is better than them. Banditry is a part of survival, and youll probably never know what you would do in a real life situation since you wont be in a zombie apocalypse so dont come with that shit. If I snipe someone in BF4 there is no reward, if I snipe someone here I have loot. There is just no real reason to not add them, its just little kids like you crying that make other kids cry even more.

I dont even want a TWS, I just dont see why a normal AS50 wont be added.
