So idk if anyone else noticed this...

[Odahviing 125]

I killed a guy with one shot from the SKS in the chest yesterday.

[Daemonkid 493]

LOL are you telling me i didnt bleed or take to much damage because the bullet hit the bible that i had stored in my tac vest ??? Dont ask why i have a bible i am not a religous man in real life just feel it fits being in zed apoc...

Shot my buddy in the chest today,  we both carry The New Testament in our vests. ( We like to recite verses to random fresh spawns)

He took some damage and didn't bleed, but the bible was ruined.. 

So there is something going on..

And I like it.

Nah I saw a dude die from a 2nd story fall. 

 

And any plans to put damage back to somewhat normal? It's a bit ridiculous right now. I mean I should have been dead. there is no excuse for me to have survived all of that lol

 

I guess they had to do something for all the little KoS gumflapping whiners lol. Hopefully this gets a bit of an adjustment next patch

 

The next update(s?) is adding a damage-by-weight, +/- variables etc damage system so falling down isn't a death sentence, that's all I know for sure.

I also watched my buddy shoot one of the guys 3 times with a mosin and still live, with absolutely no medical attention.

 

Mosin is cute and all but is very weak.

[Odahviing 125]

Mosin is cute and all but is very weak.

Maybe from 300-400m but not from close range

 

 

you're forgetting the cal. of that rifle

I have noticed this. It came in with the second to last update.

 

is it because items now take damage properly and this damage negates from the damage you would take, i know this because we ran some tests and without any clothes on poeople die a lot quicker.

I survived many single shots from mosin from 5-10 meters and killed those mosin owners with my m4 while there were waiting for their bolt action to allow them to shoot again

 

PS.

 

cal. of that rifle yeah yeah, but it's a game and in game this 7.62mm bullets from mosin are nerfed to laughing stock level. Feels like I am shot with bb gun at best.

I got hit by several Zs yesterday. *dont you love how they hurl thorwards you when you have like 1fps :D* Got hit multiple times...dident even bleed.

[jimbomobo 1]

I've not been shot at (yet) since the last patch but I've taken a few hits from zombies and not bled immediately which is a nice change. Also noticed that weapon swings makes a noise too and when a zombie does hit you the screen kind of flashes like you have taken a hit :O

[rickenbacker 190]

I don't get in firefights very much, but today I faced off with someone in the admin building at the NEAF. He hit me maybe twice, to no real ill effect (my screen went a tiny bit blurry), and I emptied half a mag into him before he finally died. This was at very close range, so I'd say 10-15 shots probably hit him, if not more, before he finally went down. 

[BootYourFace 22]

My friend and I were joking around. He punched me a few times, some in the face. I got dead rather than unconscious. So I'm going to go ahead and disagree with all of this. 

[slivniku@gmail.com 93]

To know for sure you would have to do some actual testing with ppl you know. With some random enemy you can never be sure if he was fully healthy or half dead whe he takes a hit...

[dayzhopeful 30]

Think about it, why not it would leave a mkassive bruise but if it wnet through the clothing, a tactical vest and the holy bible whats to say it would not stop the bullet.

[blissfulkunt 196]

Just aim for the head, issue solved, all guns are now 1 hit kills. The end.

[Samuri_Bake_Pie 96]

i think this is because there is so much ammo, it is to counteract that maybe? you can take more damage , but maybe when they reduce ammo they will reduce the amount of damage you can take

 

This is because gun ballistics were corrected. There is obvious need for more tweaking but bullet drop and that kind of stuff is much better

[BadAsh (DayZ) 1513]

Has anyone actually experienced bleeding following this latest patch? I am wondering if perhaps (voluntarily or accidentally) it may have been turned off.

I saw my victims bleed.

[SolidOwlPL 37]

Yeah, i got a guy to bleed from one hit with my mosin, but was also shot with the shotgun 3 times and didn't even pass out, i took quite a beating...

[Sinphaltimus 262]

I had an bullet exchange yesterday with another guy. We were facing either with no cover at about 15 paces. He hit me first with a mosin shot, I hit him twice with my SKS. His second mosin shot and my third SKS shot seemed to have happened at the exact same time. I went unconscious, he went dead. I feel like if this was before the patch, his first mosin shot should have killed me.

[DMentMan 707]

i have noticed this.

[Dontstealmycheese 118]

I've killed about 10 people with 1 shot from the Mosin, Only had about 3 people live from 1 shot post patch... So, I can't say I agree with your findings, they did add dynamic damage to limbs and stuff this patch so if you get shot in one it doesn't register as a torso hit and drop you right away. I got shot in the leg with a mosin, which SHOULDNT kill me, and it didn't it made me drop unconscious and then my attacker bandaged me up and I woke up with a broken leg from the gunshot. Seemed very accurate to me.

[The-MCV- 149]

On the same life I got slashed with a fireaxe six times, I beat the guy with a hammer. I got smacked four times with a fire extinguisher, got shot with the new hunting rifle, got axed more. No damage to the clothes, barely knocked me out of the healthy status which I regained shortly after. All of this in like 1-1.5 hours. Won every encounter. Was wearing a hard hat and a down jacket. My victims took normal damage though, from axe and Mosin. On a full server I got one shot by a Mosin when I froze up when leaning around a corner. Can't figure out how things work now, no consistency.

Well I think this is reasonable to an extent. I have a friend who survived a shot to the chest in Afghanistan. His camera didn't.

But they will have to lower item HP AND make the damage apply to one item only.

[Dontstealmycheese 118]

Just got a kill with one shot from the B95... through the metal of a bus lol.

[jasher11 67]

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this. Which hopefully you're wrong, because if you aren't, that would mean that they're straying from hardcore realism to appease a bunch of "I can't survive past hour 1" kids :( that'd suck so hard lol

i mean yeah if they are doing this then its to make the game beginner friendly, which it shouldn't be;

• Zombies should be hard to kill and heavy hitting there should also be lots of them.
• A bag of rice should be the best thing to find (i found 4 in 8 mins after a server reboot at Berezino).
• Ammo should be worth risking your life for, to get those 7 extra 7.62x51mm rounds that could mean the difference between fending off a death squad and becoming there next victim.

I want death, destruction and suffering to be round every corner, in every building, its kill or be killed, fight or flight, live or die and when we get this, it will be the greatest survival game yet
