Zedicologist 162 Posted January 22, 2014 So i was looking through these patch notes on this website. These aren't on the official Dayz forum announcements but usually a pretty reliable source. Anyways it says added a weapon cleaning kit for keeping weapons in good shape. As in real life you need to clean the barrel after firing to prevent rust forming caused by powder residue left inside the barrel. If not the rust could mess up the rifling and what not. But since we can now see and determine the condition of the weapon with this new patch. Does that mean we can repair the condition of the weapon to bring it back to a more reliable state? unless the weapon is in ruined condition. If that is the case, that means weapon condition will deteriorate over time with use. Ive speculated that this would be implemented but never had any concrete facts of the matter. Anyone have any information on this topic plz post. http://dayzintel.com/dayz-standalone/dayz-patch-notes-jan-21st 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mos1ey 6301 Posted January 22, 2014 I'd imagine that once the damage is done it's irrepairable. Simply cleaning a weapon would not make a damaged weapon only worn, it would prevent it from deteriorating in the first place though. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I want to do something, but cant find anyone to do it with (or to, as the case may be). I want to die and start again, but I seek an honorable death. Suicide is forbidden!

The Beast of Chernarus 20 Posted January 22, 2014 i would only imagine that cleaning your firearm would only help in ways to make it more raliable but not fix it properly. The M4 can function without cleaning for a long time, the AK47 and the Mosin Nagant for even longer. However should this be implemented then i would only recommend the cleaning for the Nagant and the AK's due to the non chromed barrels and corrosive ammo used.

byrgesen 1341 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) I'd imagine that once the damage is done it's irrepairable. Simply cleaning a weapon would not make a damaged weapon only worn, it would prevent it from deteriorating in the first place though. This is the way it should work tbh.You should not be able to improve the quality of a weapon by simply cleaning it, with a small kit, outdoors in Chernarus ;)Start cleaning it from the beginning and it should take alot longer before it starts to break down though, spot on Mos1ey.Although it should still break ofc, just take longer time.

Von_Carnage 37 Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Found one this morning, still have it in my possession, not tried it tho, just inspected it. it doesnt open up like a med kit to reveal any cleaning equipment. Edit: made my magnum and FNX go from damaged to worn after cleaning Edited January 23, 2014 by Von_Carnage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MethHeadMario 27 Posted January 23, 2014 ok so the Dayz Forum Member says it most likely will keep your guns from getting worn but wont actually improve the qaulity of the gun but then someone tested it and it actually did improve the qaulity of the gun.. Which is it and how do we find out exactly what it does??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which is it and how do we find out exactly what it does??? Tried cleaning both guns multiple time and they are still at worn (from damaged) Could it be like drinking from a well.. click until your stomach is full or keep cleaning until the gun goes pristine ?

Zyryanoff 227 Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) I used weapon cleaning kit on Pristine Mosin and it became Worn. :huh: Hmm. I don't really know is that good or bad? IRL worn weapon more reliable than new, but what about the game rules? :| Edited January 23, 2014 by Zyryanoff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
