TheBossOfTown 0 Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) What means when is green number 100 at right corner. Is it for ammo? For health? Edited February 25, 2014 by TheBossOfTown Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkwaveDomina 1099 Posted February 25, 2014 It's the range your weapon is set to in metres, use page-up/down to change it based on your target distance to ensure the best possible accuracy. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarkwaveDomina 1099 Posted February 25, 2014 You're welcome. Also, if you're bad at estimating distances like I was, you can practice by using the map on the DayZ DB website. Their map has a feature that allows you to click on two points and find out the distance, after using this a little bit I can now guesstimate distances quite well with the naked eye in DayZ. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks a lot mate! I'm very bad at guessing distances in a game as well. That's a very good tool! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkwaveDomina 1099 Posted February 25, 2014 Thanks a lot mate! I'm very bad at guessing distances in a game as well. That's a very good tool! No problem, just try not to rely on it or you'll form bad habits. I'm awful at guessing distances in games and in real life but I do quite well in DayZ now. To practice I basically used that tool to get a general idea of how far certain landmarks were from me (say, from a warehouse to a barn) and I remember back to what I saw when I need to line up a shot. "He's about as far as that barn was, I'll set my zeroing to 300 metres", for example. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iBane 381 Posted February 25, 2014 It's the range your weapon is set to in metres, use page-up/down to change it based on your target distance to ensure the best possible accuracy. I'm assuming changing the range doesn't effect iron sights on rifles or pistols, but maybe it applies to every rifle and pistol regardless of sight attachment? Does anyone know?

Does anyone know? I might be remembering incorrectly but I am sure the Mosin and M4 use zeroing, and it does work with iron sights but can't set it so high as if you were using optics.

iBane 381 Posted February 25, 2014 I'll do some testing with a pistol. Should be easy to determine. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rickyriot 1009 Posted February 25, 2014 Considering the level of accuracy (or rather inaccuracy) things like the M4 has I don't tend to mess with the zeroing if I have a standard non scoped sight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
