manbearpig 53 Posted January 21, 2014 Hello all, I've been playing a while and only yesterday did I take the game in a cautious manner. It paid off as I found a lot of gear inlcuding a mosin and long range scope. Anyway, I got a few kills whilst sniping around. I killed these two guys who seemed to be up to bandit activity. The video is below, the best kill is at 20 mins in. A lot of you would have had better kills than this, but for me, its a good start. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doviszxc 194 Posted January 21, 2014 As a first sniper kill, that's very good. :thumbsup: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BadAsh (DayZ) 1513 Posted January 21, 2014 You got that "Sick" bar from the first batch of antibiotics you consumed. It's a bug and doesn't mean anything. And you only need to consume them once, then it will say "My wounds are cleaner" 10 times until it will say "My wounds are clean" and the "Sick" bar will disappear. So eating more antibiotics in one sitting is a waste. Anyway, they don't do anything for your blood level (as you found out). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manbearpig 53 Posted January 21, 2014 ...and another highly-skilled "hunter" that shows off how he can shoot fresh-spawns near the coast. Congrats! You`re what makes this game so great!Fresh spawn? The guy on the top of the cherno towers, was fully geared. The guy in Balota airfield was shooting at fresh spawns from the control tower (infact there were two, there is evidence of the people they killed on the video) I actually watched the two guys for about 30 mins, but (for time reasons) cut it out of the video. I only kill armed players who enter my proximity. I have never shot a fresh spawn player and will never do so unless I am greatly provoked. I actually talk at the beginning of the video about the annoyance of players who shoot fresh spawns. Well done. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got rid of the blurred vision by turning post processing off in the video settings (quick fix/cheat), but have been told if you press esc and go to configure, then click videos, change nothing and go back to your character, your vision will then be fine. Not tried that though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UGLYMRJ 23 Posted January 21, 2014 After getting hit.... go to video settings. That's it... just go to your video settings. It'll clean up the blur. It won't give you the color back but it'll make things sharp again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoldenKade 73 Posted January 22, 2014 If I could add my two cents, I'd say use better cover while sniping. I've actually killed someone where you were on that rooftop - never go to the top of the roof, personally I prefer the first or second set of windows down. Nice video! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice video!It's the first and last time i will snipe from up there. Too risky, too busy and it's a clusterfuck with Balota so near to it. Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weedmasta 784 Posted January 23, 2014 ~100-150 meter shot, with a Sniper scope, on a non-mobile target and you miss the first time because you are aiming above his head. Sorry to burst your bubble but first time or not, there is nothing impressive about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
