Bororm 1156 Posted February 13, 2014 Since the patch that changed ballistics, guns are a lot weaker now. It takes 3-4 mosin body shots to kill a geared player, point blank blasts from shotguns don't even knock a guy out, takes a hefty amount of sks shots etc. Most players are knocked out before they are killed now as well, having to empty a number of extra rounds into them just to finish them off. I think the game was a lot more interesting when guns were deadlier, now it feels more like the mod or possibly even weaker, where everyone is a bullet sponge. Anyone else noticing this?

oregonized 673 Posted February 13, 2014 Are you kidding me? With my Mosin I one-shot a few different guys who shot at me for no reason. You must be a horrible shot. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bororm 1156 Posted February 13, 2014 I'll admit that I don't so much mind that aspect of it, but I'm just saying it to lend credence to the fact that guns are weaker now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oregonized 673 Posted February 13, 2014 I haven't noticed any difference in the strength of guns. You might be experiencing some desync or lag so it appears you are hitting people when you really aren't. For example, you would see your shots landing on your screen but the other person wouldn't actually be getting hit by those shots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HunterJay 81 Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) He prob didyn't had helmet in pants. Ballistic helm, full TTsKO, khaki tactical vest. Edited February 13, 2014 by HunterJay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bororm 1156 Posted February 13, 2014 It's possible but it's happening to multiple people in my group. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karmaterror 982 Posted February 13, 2014 Most of the guns in atm are civy street. with exception of m4. Those guns will need to be made a bit weak to suit that role, then you will want to go somewhere for a mill spec weapon. In the mod you could find the enfield aka "the dinner bell" really early in a run but it was so deadly some of my group were using it even though we had tents full of big snipers. That might have been realistic, but maybe not great for gameplay mechanics :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bororm 1156 Posted February 13, 2014 There was a point where Rocket mentioned that bullets damaging stuff in the inventory would also alter the end damage of the round itself. I wonder if that made its way in with the recent damage to gear thing.If that's the case it could be directly related to how much crap you have in your inventory.

lets 92 Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Well, even if they're weaker, alpha is a period of tests, it's hard to balance a game like Dayz. They have to try, and see what happen, if it's not good they modify again. After all we're all testers. Edited February 13, 2014 by lets4dead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because I instinctively didn't assume a shit system was in place where you can place items in your inventory that take damage instead of your health? I think you're the one that needs to stay behind.

I think you're the one that needs to stay behind.Can anyone confirm if this is actually a thing because it would make sense as to what I've experienced, and it was something mentioned early on (before the SA actually launched). It seems entirely possible that with the addition of ruining all your shit when getting shot in the latest patch, this made it in as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
