The Community's List of Suggested Weapons for Dayz Standalone (Version: 1.29)

There are a lot of good designs but the "Kalashnikov Molot Vepr SUPER" is my fav

 

 

 

 

 

The semi-auto hunting rifles "VEPR SUPER" are designed for medium-sized and big games. AK-based design and construction of the rifles provides a reliable operation of parts and mechanisms as well as high-grade shooting in various weather and climatic conditions. The rifles can be used in a wide temperature range (from -50 F up to +120 F).

"VEPR SUPER's" parts are manufactured using the same equipment as the very well known lightweight machinegun "RPK". Its extra heavy duty receiver and hammer-forged barrel provide much better accuracy and durability. A chrome-lined barrel with chrome-lined chamber and bore along with walnut stocks make these rifles very different from other AK-based rifles available in the US market

The rifles come with adjustable open sighting devices and either a rail for a scope mount attached to the left side of the receiver or fixing bases for a top scope mount.

"VEPR SUPER" comes with a fluted barrel for reducing the rifle weight and improving cooling ability.

All "VEPR SUPER" rifles go through a robust quality control and inspection and each new rifle has its own quality control acceptance certification from the factory, included in the manual.

 

"MOLOT" Factory produces "VEPR SUPER (SUPER VEPR)" rifles in the following configurations:

VEPR SUPER 223 Rem, VEPR SUPER 308 Win

The Saiga M's I suggested are very very very similar, based on the AK but semi auto and look very much the same but unfortunately a lot of people still voted no for some reason despite the fact it isn't a military rifle which everyone says we shouldn't have too many of

Some WWII guns would be lovely in a gritty apocalypse game like DayZ... Some examples I would like to see...

 

Winchester Model 1897 Trench Gun

Forgive me if these were already discussed numerous times, just wanted to put my 2 cents in ya know?

I don't think you'd ever find any MG-34s or M1 Garands in Chernarus. The likelihood of a Thompson, StG-44 or M1897 is pretty low too, but the latter three are more reasonable than the first two.

(They could do an MG-3, which is essentially a slightly upgraded MG-42/34)

Going along with the UN side of things here so.

FN FAL/SLR

L85A2 i guess theirs a UK assault vest.

Steyr AUG again kinda goes with UN

G36e maybe for Law enforcement police stations and such?

The Garand Mg34 and STG would be extremely rare outside museums, especially the Garand. (In that area, atleast) and MG-34. Reason being the Garand was never sent to Russia, and the MG-34 was/is highly illegal for civilians to own, and harder to hide than an STG, which the huge amount of AKs in the Chernarussian civil war would render useless anyway.

The Trench gun is same as the Garand.

 

But the Thompson - i really don't think they would be there, but i did see ONE picture of one in a russian museum. It was probably a fluke gun, though. Your probably more likely to find A PPD-40.

I would support the PPSh if someone could find a few pictures/evidence of a few being used in Eastern Europe in the past 10 years. Although they may be common, few even work anymore. Same for the MP40.

 

The P38 is definitely fitting, along with the PO8 and such.

 

Some that are similar that would more likely be there: SVT, PPS-43, and RPD.

Computer is having serious problems right now so I am typing this from my phone. Power supply on it keeps failing and something appears to be loose inside of it. I will try to get it up and working as soon as I can. Updates will be slower during this month due to several tests j have scheduled. Keep up the suggestions! God Bless!

The Devs are already on record as having been looking into Steyr and Heckler & Koch weapons - whether or not that means more assault rifles I don't know, but the thought is out there.  I just don't think we need more than two or three and the AK-74 is taking up one of those slots so far as anyone knows.  The L85 is an interesting choice, not terribly well known in some parts of the world I'd wager but as you said - precedent has already been set for the UK or indirectly related countries to have gear in game (UK assault vest, New Zealand beret, why no Canada love Rocket?!).  I personally love using the FN in other games, it would be interesting to see it hear.

 

Likely we'll be seeing more craftable weapons before we see any more firearms that haven't already been made as art assets.  You can check out some rumors and confirmations here, I've been trying to keep track:

Er, sorry double post, but how did the smg poll go Alexei?  I was away for a few days.

[koffiekip42 11]

Dont know if it is been called here but what about the FN FAL. I know it is in Arma 2. Dont know what ammo it takes and how it feels holding one(damn you dutch weapon law) but my dad used one when he was in the army and said it was a decent weapon.

[irishroy 1347]

FN val will surely come, it got confirmed somewhere ;)

Just posted it like 5 posts back :P

[w1lg5r 70]

L115A3 - .338 calibre sniper rifle used by a few European armed forces under different designations, the L115A3 being the British one. It is a highly accurate weapon and so it and it's ammo should be rare. In fact, a British sniper achieved the longest confirmed sniper kill (2.47 km) with an L115A3. It was known as the lapua in the mod for it's ammo and i believe many people would welcome it back (although it never went into the official dayz mod only submods like epoch). I think drastic measure should be taken with sniping to make it hard (think ACE 2).

[irishroy 1347]

Man, all these sniper rifles....

Dayum,,,

[amikron 14]

Hello!

I'm new to the forum but have some suggestions. I read the whole thread but so much information. So i decided to post my suggestions but if any of those were mentioned or discussed before just ignore it.

I think a mid-eastern-european-russian mixed zombie apocalypse cannot be complete without ice hockey items. So first meele weapon suggestion is Ice hockey bat goalie and other players. Related items: Helmets goalie and other players many different colour like black, blue, red, white, green, grey and so on... Just imagine hanging around half naked with a chainsaw wearing a goalie hockey helmet.

Knives:

Swiss army knife with can opener, saw and stuff. Survival game without this one?

Knives with built-in compass. I think there should be at least one kind. These knives are really common in every country many kind of desings. It's just me but I think some of the hunter designed knives fits better but i do not take seriously the design if there will be a knife with compass in the game.(and of course there can be a compass in the swiss army knife)

Leg pistol and knife holster and/or combined.
Belt pistol and knife holster and/or combined 2 sides of course. There are leather designed pistol holsters which are really cool. Should be in the game. But I strongly suggest to be open minded. There are some really good looking modern pistol holsters with various colours like olive, brown, black, green, even woodland or urban camo and are really common in almost every counrty. If I can carry a sidearm in a belt or leg holster without sacficing slots in my backpack or else I would be very happy.

Black Colt Python. It is beautiful. I think we should not bother the present design when it spawns. There should be some way to paint it black if you like it better. Using the black spraycan maybe?

So here are my suggestions shortened and some random pics for example:

Meele:
Hockey sticks

Swiss army knife:

 

 

Knives with compass:

 

Modern combat design example

Somekind of hunter design example:

 

Black Colt Python:

 

I think this is all for today, i wont fill this thread with pics of hockey helmets and holsters there are tons of pictures everywhere :) Sorry about my bad english.

[Chaingunfighter 917]

The Ruger MK2 is now a confirmed weapon :)

[- Karma - 75]

Do you have a link Roy?  Not that I doubt you, but if you do I can add it to my list. :)

[alexeistukov 272]

The Ruger MK2 is now a confirmed weapon :)

..Ruger firearms have no place in Chernarus. The Saiga-M Rifle would appear first as a hunting rifle or even a Nagant M1895 before any Ruger firearm would... then again its not my game and we are happy to have another caliber added.

[shadyrider 1]

Being a hunter from the Midwest, I'm partial to the Remington Woodsmaster 742. 30-06 Caliber. Ten round mag

 

 

Also can't go wrong with Ruger 1911. .45 caliber

[Ecky 0]

I think the game could benefit from a few more ranged weapons. Id like the possibility to somehow construct a bow and arrows, but as for all these high powered machine guns etc I don't think they should be added, I mean I'm already finding it hard enough to stay alive against people who just have a Mosin or an M4. Having 10 people on a server with high powered weapons is just going to turn this game into a FPS "deathmatch" game where everyone just hunts each other and kills them. I'd be ok with higher powered weapons and explosives if:-

 

1. When you found the weapons most parts were missing/damaged and those parts were nearly impossible to find, like 1 server in 10 had a 5% chance of having one and the rest had 0% chance.

2. Grenades and explosives had a chance of malfunctioning. like if you threw a grenade it didn't go off 80% of the time (it would still carry a threat as people wouldn't know) or in the extremely unlikely almost impossible event you had a functioning rocket launcher AND a rocket, that the rocket had to be pristine and if it was badly damaged it would detonate and kill you before leaving the barrel.

 

I get everyone wants good supplies and powerful weapons but the game will just turn into a warzone. I think the guns now are powerful enough all you need for now is a good axe for zombies and a rifle in case of hostile players. 

[quantum2k6 348]

why are u all want this game becomes "Sniperwar 2014?" i dont get it.... its a postapocalyptic game... 5-6 diffrent guns schould be enough... IMO...

[irishroy 1347]

Do you have a link Roy?  Not that I doubt you, but if you do I can add it to my list. :)

Bwaa, no source, sadly, sorry man.

 

but the SVD is on the way (was seen in a video about DayZ "HQ" in the backround on a screen. Dean confirmed it afterwards)

While i don't want to see DayZ turning into a Snipersimulator with a long respawn-time, i like to see more weapons.

Moar wepaons, and make each individually more rare, so that you can find guns, however, finding the right/desired one is hard(er)

 at ~6:20 on the very left screen. Could be an SVD.   or here bow and arrow

and here an AS val probably

thats right irish, but i dont think we need tons of highend tactical sniperrifles.

It is a highly accurate weapon and so it and it's ammo should be rare. In fact, a British sniper achieved the longest confirmed sniper kill (2.47 km) with an L115A3.

i dont think olga from novy sobor has some of this sniper rifle guns under the bed...

 

there are alot of great old styled hunting rilfes which fit perfectly in the cenario like the B95.

 

would be great if we find more damaged weapons and have to find working parts to complete them.
