Blowing Up Gas Stations

[doctorrayray 76]

Has anyone else blown up a gas station? If you're loaded up and have tons of ammo, I recommend doing so. It is extremely entertaining and the explosion is probably the loudest thing you'll ever hear in DayZ.

Did it with a fireaxe.

Definite waste of ammo, but it is rather cool. You'll attract every bandit in the land if you do so, like moths to a flame

Is this a MOD feature or SA feature? I didn't know I could blow them up but HAD thought about it and now I want to try!!!

It is literally the funniest thing that's happened to me in DayZ. You get an error message when it explodes and you could probably hear the explosion from a mile off. You have to try it! :D

I wondered if that was possible.  Did you live through the result?

I doubt he did, did u hit the gas pump or tank and roughly how long did it takE.?

I know they all blow up in Arma 2, in the mod im not sure though. I once emptied 2 m24 mags into the Zelen one and nothing happened. But when i shot the Berezino one with AS50....big bada boom :)

Wow, so does this really happen in the SA. Can anybody confirm it?

Just check YouTube, "DayZ standalone gas pumps". You can do it with melee weapons but if you're doing it with a gun it will take a TON of ammo. I've done it twice and it does take a long time before it finally explodes. You can die from the explosion so be careful if you're not freshly spawned.

Im foolishly attached to my character right now, but I think he is going to encounter a freak gasoline fight accident tonight.  (Zoolander anyone?)

Just watched one vid.  OMG, that's awesome fun that that interaction was thought of and is in place for the alpha.  /golfclap
