commanderbash 102 Posted January 23, 2014 I've used the cleaning kit a half dozen times but it didn't seem to do anything, is there a gun status like "dirty" that it removes? thanks in advance for the info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weedmasta 784 Posted January 23, 2014 I am assuming it will improve the condition of a weapon but time will tell as people test it. From what I have seen there is no "dirty" status in the game yet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Areos (DayZ) 106 Posted January 23, 2014 I'm assuming that a firearm will deteriorate over time if fired consistently without being cleaned. The cleaning kit would counteract this process. I've heard people state that the cleaning kit is bugged when used in pristine-quality weapons though, instead reducing the weapon's quality over time.

weedmasta 784 Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) For me, it made my Pristine M4A1 Worn. Thanks, cleaning kit! > :( Maybe it can only improve a weapon to worn status, hence when you used it on a pristine weapon, it made it Worn? Also why you would try to use a cleaning kit on a pristine weapon, other than for testing purposes, is baffling. Edited January 23, 2014 by weedmasta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if the cleaning kit caps out at Worn, it sure as hell should not damage a weapon. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frosti 2165 Posted January 23, 2014 I used it on pristine m4 and it became worn. Cleaning kit, not oven once. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nainakai 42 Posted January 23, 2014 It does indeed turn pristine weapons into worn versions of them selves. For the sake of testing, I cleaned my whole inventory of weapons, I now have a FNX, Magnum, Shotgun, and a mosin in my hands, shiny and worn. x) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weedmasta 784 Posted January 23, 2014 I don't know do bullets shot at a weapon damage the weapon? If so you could put a weapon on the ground, shoot at it till it is in a worse condition than worn and then try the cleaning kit. I gotta try this out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
creative5p 1 Posted January 23, 2014 It also won't work on ruined items. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weedmasta 784 Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Ruined items? You mean weapons. Well that would make sense since they are RUINED. Edited January 23, 2014 by weedmasta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeatHTaX 1217 Posted January 23, 2014 So from the new patch it seems everything weapon related hurts the overall weapon's operational ability xD Spray paint the Mosin, get a 007 golden gun Clean a pristine weapon, fuck it up lol xD Oh alpha, you so silly! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darthbane67 92 Posted January 23, 2014 I think that maybe the cleaning kit is not working right, right now as made obvious above :rolleyes: . I want to say you have to use it on your gun once it gets to worn status and maybe it will maintain it at worn. I also think that since they added a light blue damp status effect on clothes under your pristine status, maybe they have a dirty effect for guns. Then once you have that status show you can use the cleaning kit and it wont make your gun worn. I dont know though these are just my thoughts on the matter.
