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

[-Gews- 7443]

It would do more damage than the mosin or the kar 98k (I think)

 

Why?

[alexeistukov 272]

Update will be rolling out in a few hours. I will reply to all comments as soon as I get home. God Bless!

[thedogfoodyayho 295]

I'm just gonna suggest the lee Enfield .303 rifle for old times sake and these rifles have ended up all over the place. It would do more damage than the mosin or the kar 98k (I think) but the ammunition would be rarer.

If your just going off bullet size, 7.92x57 Mauser is a bigger and more accurate round than .303. 

[alexeistukov 272]

I don't really have a preference. I'd like to see an extra gun or two, but not a load of them.

I more want to give you props for putting so much effort into a detailed thread like this. Beans to you, sir.

 

Thanks for your support my friend!

[alexeistukov 272]

Actually, no, that says Gewher 98 (Mauser M1898)

How do i know? I wrote that.

I'm not sure it will actaully be added, but a while back the devs put up a screenshot with a guy holding a mauser. I haven't seen anything on it since then (probably 8mon ago) so we'll see...

But really, never use the wiki as your source of what will be added, its written by the community not the devs. Everything on there was either confirmed or seen in screenshots, or are random guesses/trolls. 

 

I never meant for you to add all those, i was suggesting a that you should look into them at some point.

Srry. I seemed you didn't know what the CDF used early on in the topic. But your right, arma campaign is really bland :/

I looked at the "to add section" tge day before i posted and didn't see the RG6 or RPG. I guess you updated it after i read.

Trust me, i get being busy. I was just expecting you to add the PKM before othere seeing as it was one of the first suggested to be added.

But really, we'll have to ask gews about the Winchester. He's found some Russian police site, giving good examples of what turns up in Eastern Europe. I just don't see many of the less than 200,000 of them imported into russia still being active, mainly due to them being inferior to Mosins and many being re-imported to the US. From what i can tell, they were "Muskets" - not sure if that means smoothbore? If so.. lolz.

Don't get me wrong, i love this gun, (and i'm not asking you to take it down) but they wouldn't be at all common. 

 

When i said Gewehr Rifle.. i meant that it would be variant of a Gewehr i didn't give an exact model.  I do know that the wiki is written by people and most of the time they copy and paste off of Wikipedia to describe certain items.

 

The PKM was one of the first suggested firearms, but i wanted to get the polls up for the main weapon sections that have a lot of firearms in them currently after i got the idea from - Karma -.   Gews does have a vast knowledge of firearms, but i can find the sources on my own as well as can you and everyone else.  No offense towards you at all Gews and i do not mean to cause any trouble by what i said.  I hope i can see this site that he may have though for it may help a lot in sorting out new weapons we may add.

[alexeistukov 272]

Planning on finishing the Sub Machine Gun section up and going to have the poll up tonight most likely.

I've been seeing a lot of posts about military weapons vs civilian weapons and to be honest both sides make sense, so here is my take on it. the ak series of rifles in reality are insanely common i think like 1 in every 80 people own one world wide. Also people are saying that in Russia gun laws are strict. This may be the case but think what happened before the zombie apocalypse, a massive civil war which pretty much means no government, and no government means no laws so I'm sure that a bunch of illegal  guns got into the hands of the civilians. I'm not saying that you should be able to find an anti tank weapon or m240 in some shack, but you should every so often find an ak or m4 in a civilian area.

[- Karma - 75]

- snip -

 

Moreover than that is the fact that it just "feels" like this apocalypse has been happening for a while.  You've just washed up on the shores, and everything is gone to hell.  It's not happening, it has happened (which confuses me, because I read in another thread that the Z in Day Z stands for "zero" as in Day Zero).  So randomizing where certain items, especially weapons are found makes sense.  I know certain things should be more likely to found in certain areas, like military clothes, ammo, and weapons/attachments at bases - that is intuitive and players will easily grasp that.  But as I said earlier in the thread, and exactly what you are saying here it seems, is that all the loot would be spread out.  I wish more people would jump on board with this.  I hate the idea of four or five good loot spots that are camped on every full server.

 

Also keep up the good work Alexei!  I sure hope the Devs are keeping an eye on some of these.  It would be nice to see more Dev presence on these forums - as someone said earlier on a different forum, it is kind of discouraging to check the Dev tracker and see that they really only are posting in certain sections of the forum, twitter, and reddit.  It seems like this section of the forum is a kind of no man's land.  There is some really good work being done by people here, and I think it'd be great at the least for someone from the team to pop in now and again and say "Hey, good thread guys, we'll keep an eye on this one!"

[alexeistukov 272]

Sorry that the update is taking a while, i was busy doing things with my family in real life.

[dvsilverwing 241]

Again suggesting the MP5A4 and PP-19-01 Vityaz

Yes, you have been noted, just not put up yet.  Please be patient.

Neat-o. Also wouldn't mind seeing the S&W Model 10 or Colt Official Police as you mentioned earlier!

Please... read my posts earlier.. i am very busy in real life man and i try my best to help out.  Updates will be a lot slower now from the end of February till the end of May.  I will try and keep it all balanced.  Thanks for bringing up the old suggestions, but i will get them up soon.

[agouti 105]

I created this account to say this, but I'm sure I'll have more to say. In regards to the new SKS in the game, I have to say it is the least common variety, the Yugo 59/66, and in my opinion the ugliest and most unwieldy. I'd like to see some more variety, in particular, the Russian SKS which is more common (except int he US which has trade embargos with Russia), but for instance in Canada, the Russian variety is more common, and can be had for cheaper, as well as the chinese variety which can be had for even less. The mod had a lot of variety, and I would like to see this in the stand alone. The m4s and AKs existed ad nauseum, so maybe some love for the SKS? Bonus points for an SKS-M which can take AK mags.

 

 

Edit: Also, ruger makes the mark I through III.22 pistols which should be more common, as did colt and other companies. Also, the soviet svt-40 is pretty nifty, takes a round which already exists, and can use a scope which already exists. I'd love to see it in game.

Gewehr means "Rifle" in german. The G3, G36, ect, are Gewehrs. The Gewehr 98 is the WWI-era, long, bolt action developed into the K98K, it is not a varient of the G43. so no G43 or any other german semi auto is known to be planned.

 

Alright, thanks for clearing that up.

 

I never meant Gews was some kind of all-knowing firearms god, i meant we should ask him for the site/or if he saw any 'Chesters.

[alexeistukov 272]

Update will most likely roll out early tomorrow. Will be cut down somewhat...apologies to everyone for the wait...

Aerosol Can and a lighter makes an improvised flamethrower

I think its just too much. I would agree with the classic ones (1911, ak47, m9, m14 g3 etc.) but not with every single one of the guns

[mithrawndo 166]

Too many guns, no thank you.

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_guns_per_capita_by_country

 

If we're being authentic™ then there are less than 1 gun for every 10 of the population pre-apocalypse in Russia. Given the very, very large scale of the country and the very small scale relatively of the region in which we're inhabiting, it's incredibly unlikely we'd see a large enough sample space to ever see some of these spawn - ergo they are a waste of development time and energy.

[alexeistukov 272]

Early version of 1.09.1 is up!  Have a look!

[Tricky_Vic 25]

Sooo...Homemade guns that can be crafted anyone?

[SFRGaming 718]

Hey. I just spotted a typo! The M16A4 does not have the automatic capability. It only has semi and burst.

Both of you have made the mistake that many others have made.  Please read the comments from the past to see where we are now.  I have already stated that this is a SUGGESTION forum, meaning that the devs would look at the list, decide what weapons look good, take those weapons, and leave the rest.  

[Tricky_Vic 25]

Game needs some more homemade stuff, because if zeds hit, and there aren't that many guns around, I'd be working at the bench too.

Maybe some weathering on weapons, like such-

Trust me, if i were to add homemade weapons to this list then i would have an infinite amount of them on here.  Weathering on weapons should be a whole new forum topic and i would LOVE to see that in game!  I myself would love homemade weapons, but i cannot put them on this list for the reason i just stated.
