Shooting through walls

[Hutch (DayZ) 116]

You Can in Arma 2 and 3.

The engine models material penetration based on wall material, projectile caliber, velocity, range, angle of hit and other factors.

So you can shoot through a wall, or the corner of a building and hit a target on the other side.

 

Does it work in DayZ SA?  I'm assuming so since ballistics modeling is part of the core of the engine but I haven't been able to test it myself.

Has anyone been able to test this in DayZ yet?

 

I have a feeling many players complaining about wall hacks and other exploits are simply getting shot through the wall or floor by players who know how.

I'm pretty sure I got shot through the floor once.

this would be really good to know if anyone has any info.

Well speaking from my experience you could. Remember that when you hug the wall, a part of your body shows up on the other side. That's how I got killed.

If I recall, I have seen a stream where someone shot through a metal fence and it did in fact hit the shed on the other side (1 shot even ricocheted).  Also in real life, houses are absolutely not bullet proof and if someone was standing downstairs or just outside the house, and shot through at my position in the house, I'm sure I'd have some issues.

Its awfull to get shot at through a wall,you never see em coming they just spray the bulidng you are in and you have no clue who is hit.

 

getting shot at through walls is not a good time

I shot a zombie through a wooden floor with cracks in it (that's how I knew where to shoot). Took two M4 bullets to take the zed out.

I was shot to death by an m4 while hiding behind a bookshelf. The bullets passed through the entire width of the shelf.
