Deathlove 2286 Posted January 31, 2014 Until you try actually hunting for a pristine pair. XD Seriously EVERY single pair of pants i found on one server was ether worn or BADLY damaged. Actually the shirt is rarer than the pants from what iv seen looking around but finding both pristine without server hoping can be tough as hell. And if you do find them pristine allot more its just random luck i would imagine depending on the server and type. I also got lucky and found a FULLY pristine M4a1 after searching for awhile. Most of the ones i find have some parts that are bad. And a Mosin than found a Pristine Long Range attachment in one of the barracks at Balota on the same server. Never server hoped once but man it does take quite a bit of time. However more gratifying and less likely to run into a damn hopper cause iv been keeping an eye out. When the SKS comes out im not sure if i want to cop out one gun for the other maybe to try it but im keeping the attachments if it comes to me taking the SKS over the mosin once the stable patches arrive. What was the nicest things you guys have found so fare without server hopping at all? And do you guys think you will switch guns of choices or are you hesitant to try the new one and risk loosing your other guns? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
koNtenT 36 Posted January 31, 2014 I've actually found the pants quite often. Granted its a joy to find one, but I've found it quite easily. Office buildings, Schools, Military bases, even in a barn. The SKS is really nice, but until it gets a scope attachment for it (which I've searched the experimental already for), I highly doubt it will replace the mosin. Maybe the M4. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah but pristine pairs? Id imagine not so much. And the shirt is rarer wouldn't you say so just by scouting around on one server? But its like the best in slot shirt atm with camo so i can understand that, The SKS has me on edge. I want to try it but im afraid of giving out one good load out for a potential bad one. I hear something that it can take the long range but i think i heard from another it dosnt. Idk iv got them ready regardless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jock360x360 (DayZ) 26 Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) Cant really go wrong with the Mosin... Within 100 meters, chance of one shot kill?Ill stick with it... lol by the by, not throwing any accusations out there.... BUT the more you talk about not server hopping and bring up using ONE SERVER the more it makes me think you are full of shit.... I want to apologize for my honesty.

Within 100 meters, chance of one shot kill?Ill stick with it... lolI heard it can take more than that to down a live player though however your right. The range is quite fantastic on it. Well your honesty is full of shit because iv had like 3 servers saved total and iv only used the one for like a week now. And if it dosnt come back up right away i just wait till it does or just take a break for awhile. What you dont think ppl can just stay on one server now for awhile? Are you that paranoid?

Grimey Rick 3417 Posted January 31, 2014 Well goofy ass picture aside whats the hardest item you'v had trouble finding in pristine without hopping? I don't really try to find particular items, I just try to fill particular slots. If I find a Mosin, I'll use it. I won't go bonkers trying to find an M4. I don't go looking for anything because this isn't World of Warcraft and it'd eventually drive you crazy looking for a new full set of pristine gear after every death/reset. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's crazy, I'll work on getting full pristine gear and when I finally do, I feel like giving it all away and finding new stuff. The hunt is more fun than the kill in some cases.

No use getting upset over a game when you die. But i do see your point. I just ran into the M4A1 by chance i wasnt really searching for it just searching for items that might be pristine quality when i accidently stumbled on one. And since the patch they take a little longer to find which im cool with if i dont find one lol. Speaking about slots im sure they will eventually put in more 3 and maybe even 4 slot shirts in latter of some type. Im sure of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antonioajc 500 Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) *Creepy ass photo*Holy fuck, that must be the ugliest "you don't say" photo I have seen in my entire life. There wasn't need for that much detail ;__;I'm with koNtenT the SKS wouldn't replace the Mosin since the SkS doesn't go very far and still retain its damage output.

sanguinius51 13 Posted January 31, 2014 Oh, I know. I know how rare the Mosin is too. Indeed, I have searched the lands of Chernarus for many days now, going village to village, barn to barn, and by necessity (and sheer goddamn frustration!) using the DayZdb map. I didn't want to, but I decided that I would find a Mosin. I didn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its really the only decent ranged weapon atm until some other kinds of rifles built for long range or snipers pop up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unicornsmustdie 32 Posted January 31, 2014 ha! I have a pristine pair of those, and that's a great bridge to say that I found that the pants in this game are broken or Zeds/Zombies only attack your upper body. I have endured a ton of attacks of course, and it's always the jacket, tac vest worn on your upper body that gets damaged, NEVER my pants. What's more, I've noticed that with all those attacks, my helmet also NEVER has degraded (as long as you wear it). Is this a glitch and I'm lucky or do others see this too? Oh and no, I do not crouch across Chernaruss :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try one of the farther out buildings, there's this unnamed village NW, where the train tracks start, where usually there's not tons of players looting.. so you may have a better chance there ;) Edited January 31, 2014 by unicornsmustdie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
