Crafting News - Can this be confirmed?

[SAXX0N 28]

Definitely looks like bullshit. The components are crazy wrong, of course.

On the other hand, the weapon designer for Metro 2033 and Last Light is actually an engineer/machinist and the improvised firearms in that game are amazing. A lot of them wouldn't fit the tone of DayZ, but they were all designed to be plausible. I could certainly see the break action shotguns fitting in (the Ashot and Duplet). Maybe even the revolver shotgun. The pneumatic crossbow and ball-bearing gun (Helsing and Tihar) are awesome, but not appropriate.

The main issue is that it would be near impossible to actually make any of these simple fire-arms without access to a machining shop, and most of the tools involved would need electricity. I would actually like to see those sorts of tools added to some of the machine shops (there is at least one in Berezino) and garages, along with petrol generators to power them if you bring fuel. That sort of crafting requiring extended scavenging, travelling and preparation would really help with endgame economy and natural player goals.

There are actually at least 2 machine shops now ingame with high end lathes and such.

Stella Artois, good choice.

But back on topic, they should make it a little more... believable, if you are going to craft a grenade launcher.....

 

Grenade Launcher

Grenade Launcher is an attachment on your firearm which lets you mount a grenade launcher on your gun.

How-to-Craft: You’ll need 1 x 2″ Metal Pipe combined with 2 x 2″ Metal Sheet and 1 Hose Clamp.

C'mon now...

 

I guess if you like the taste of shit.  Last Stella I came across got drain poured.
