Add more weapons!

[nathanmearl246 3]

Look I know that DayZ is in Alpha, but come on! There are only 12 different weapons available. Please add some more weapons. Otherwise all the features otherwise are great!

 

Ideas:

 

• Advanced Combat Rifle 6.8
• M1911
• M9A1
• AN-94
• AK-74U
• M4A3
• M240/M249
• Revolver(s)
• Mark 11 Sniper Variant
• L85 Assault Rifle  & L85A3 LMG

DO NOT ADD ROCKET LAUNCHER(S) PLEASE!!

 

[nathanmearl246 3]

NOTE: I meant non-melee weapons...

[liquidje 38]

Alpha is for functionality, Beta is for content. I really think there are many other issues which are far more important. Also adding a new weapon will not change gameplay much, compared to fixing the issues at hand.

What I'm seeing here is the AN-94, the AK-74u [sic] and then a bunch of foreign military weapons. We don't need more overpowered military weapons, we have too many as it is. What we need is more civilian weapons. Hunting rifles, hunting shotguns, low caliber pistols etc. etc.

[DemonGroover 8836]

Patience please.  The alpha has just come out give it time.

 

And as Sencha said i'd rather civilian weapons than M240's, Snipers and L85's.

[JuX 72]

When we get to new weapon additions they should be civilian oriented weaponry.

 

Once they add weapon maintenance mechanics then military weapon such as AK-47 should appear,

considering its one of the most popular weapons on earth. Not the most accurate of weapons,

but definitely one of the most reliable ones, specially in apocalypse.

[madbrood 6]

Not to be an ass... but what the hell is an 'L85A3 LMG' when it's at home? Do you mean the L86 LSW? Cause even that isn't an LMG, it's used as a marksman's rifle these days alongside the L129...

 

Anyways. Yes. As has been said - wait for beta.

[AP_Norris 1018]

Next weapons we will be seeing.

Sks (hopefully 10 round internal mag one with clip functionality)

Sawed off shotgun

Double barrelled shotgun

Pump action shotgun of sorts

Ruger 10, 22

Then possibly a AK-74M and a Remington 870.

Then after those we are getting a C96 sure as day.

[King of kong 1117]

No foreign weapons or OP guns. Keep it to Eastern Bloc stuff that's used by the Army of Chernarus

[Korsbaek 1778]

• M240/M249
• Mark 11 Sniper Variant
• L85 Assault Rifle  & L85A3 LMG

 

The yup list

• Revolver(s)

[AP_Norris 1018]

I wish to add C96 to the yup list.

[Korsbaek 1778]

I wish to add C96 to the yup list.

 

I just sorted the weapons he had suggested. I would like to see the Broomhandle in-game too.

[thomas28 31]

Yes, NATO and US army weapons and gear should be rare, and focused on one or two area's on the map, it should be mostly AK's SKS's Makarov's and Hunting Rifles.


side note:
A NATO base/Deployment zone up North/west somewhere and perhaps a US one aswell, many zombie Souljah's with body armor up their. just a thought.

So I do see what all of you are saying. Dean should add more civilians weapons and balance out the military grade weapons.

[tristanyockell 11]

First of all, I have extensive experience with many firearms. I own plenty, alot of which are russian or eastern bloc produced.

 

I believe that the majority of the weapons available should be warsaw pact firearms "for obvious reasons".  The Mosin Nagant m91/30 was an excellent choice but others should follow.

 

All of the following firearms were mass produced and still available in large quanities as is the ammunition for all of them.

 

-Ak variants - 7.62x39 or 5.45x39

-SKS's - preferable the yugo m66 made with rifle grenade launchers as well - same ammo as 7.62 AK variants

-SVT-40's 1.6 million made and still held in eastern bloc arsenals, takes same ammo as mosin 7.62x54R

-tokarev tt33 pistols - 7.62x25

-pps or ppsh sub machine guns - same ammo as tokarev pistols

-makarov pistols 9x18

-PKM machine gun - same ammo as Mosin Nagant and SVT-40

-RPK/RPK-74 - Same ammo as AK variants

-SVD marksman/sniper rifle- Same ammo as mosin nagant

 

Some russian guns that are less common now but would be nice to have:

 

-RPD machine gun - Same ammo as sks/ak variants

-DP machine gun - Same ammo as SVT-40, Mosin nagant and SVD sniper rifles.

 

As you can see, they all have excellent ammo compatibility and I think deserve to be in the game.

 

Another thing that would be great to see are "pocket pistols"

 

These pistols would be more common but have less stopping power and grossly inacurate "low tier firearms".

 

I love the Dayz game but I do hope they take the firearm aspect very seriously, it needs to be done right and accurately. Because like they say, guns are the "leveling up of Dayz".

 

If you need to have blood transfusions and anti biotics ect. then you need realistic firearms and ammunition.

 

Thanks for reading.

Weapons can't just be ported over from ArmA 2/3, they have to be completely redone for attachments etc. to be able to function as they do in DayZ. Patience, young one...

[Chaingunfighter 917]

Ideas:

 

• Advanced Combat Rifle 6.8
• M1911
• M9A1
• AN-94
• AK-74U AKS-74U
• M4A3
• M240/M249
• Revolver(s)
• Mark 11 Sniper Variant
• L85 Assault Rifle  & L85A3 LMG   L86A2 LSW (I assume)

DO NOT ADD ROCKET LAUNCHER(S) PLEASE!!

Those are the only feasible weapons, and the lot of them (M240/M249, L85A2/L86, Mark 11 and to an extent the 'M9A1') are all foreign military weapons that I doubt need early-on focus. The AKS-74U is something worth having in the mid-term, but the rest can wait until later releases, if they were to even be added at all.

The Beretta 92F/S, which is the "M9A1" would probably not have a rail like the M9A1 does if found in a place like Chernarus, but a rail-attachment for hopefully to come laser sights and flashlights would be cool.

 

Also, weapons like the RPG-7, RPG-2 and Type 69 would be much more common than most of the guns you listed, although for gameplay reasons I can see why they would need them rare. I do also hope they have underslung, as well as standalone grenade launchers (Like the GP-25/GP-30, M203, possibly M320 and M79 as well)

I assume you're talking about the standalone and I thus have no idea why only the M4A1 and an FNX-45 classify as 'too many'

I hope he is talking about the mod...

[Chaingunfighter 917]

I hope he is talking about the mod...

The mod has enough guns as is, I agree. The Standalone is not complete, obviously. I think a good 40-50 guns would make a great final weapons list.

That's not much considering there are already like this many AR variants...

 

 

And the perfect gun for maiming your enemies...

[King of kong 1117]

I agree ith more Civilian guns., But till have AK series weapons and Makarovs, SVDs etc The CDF (Chernarus Defense Force) use that shit....It ain't in Russia, or Czecky lnd

[Shadow Six 4]

I think the ENTIRE concept of adding Enfield SA80/L85 weapons on this map is absolutely absurd. British units were NEVER in Chernarus, so I think this is a complete waste.

 

Civilian rifles such as Tikka/Sako bolt-actions, the SVT-40, SKS, Dragunov SVD (Maybe the Zastava M76 might be a better option?), Iszmash Shotguns, AKM/AKMS, AK74(M), Makarov PM, Tokarev TT-33 and Fort-12 would be all firearms I would suggest.

 

As for NATO weapons, they should be focussed as rarities and in limited high-risk areas. Firearms I would suggest in this list would be M16A4s, M4A1s, M39 EMR, M40A3/A5 and M1911A1.

 

EDIT: As for support weapons/LMGS, I think a belt-fed weapon is totally unbalancing, and I would suggest RPK and RPK-74s with 42-round magazines. As for a NATO equivalent, I would suggest the HK M27 IAR with magazine commonality with the rest of the AR15 platforms (40-round CMAG anyone?)

[Mr Jizz 313]

No love for Submachine guns?

 

How about the PP-19 Bizon?  Can be built for chambering 9mm Parabellum, 9mm Makarov, 380, and 7.62x25 (like the Tokarev TT33); 53-round mag; no glam, all business and currently in use by the Russian Police.

 

I've always had a soft spot for the MP5 as well.

Yeah but they aren't Russian police

[Sawnek 12]

There is a lot of focus on military weapons, how about civilian weapons?

 

How about this?

 

It could be found in a houses. Two bullets, not too powerful and not made for fighting head on. A weapon like this would be one that you would find in an abandoned household and think: "Well, I guess it will have to do..."

 

What do you think?
