Caboose187 (DayZ) 3036 Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Aside from pristine (perfect condition) and ruined (utterly destroyed), what are the other status's going to be for? Will they change the probability for the item to work? Examples: Worn - 25% chance of failing Damaged - 50% chance of failing Badly Damaged - 75% chance of failing And how does this work for food? Food can't really fail so would there be more of a chance you could get sick from eating worn to badly damaged food?

gadyuka 99 Posted February 26, 2014 The progression of each status brings you closer to ruined.Once ruined, the item is useless. That's what each status is for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
preacherlr 614 Posted February 26, 2014 From what I've noticed, A pristine buttstock will out shoot a damaged one any day, Same goes for foregrips.Some people also claim that damaged food gives less nutrients and such. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caboose187 (DayZ) 3036 Posted February 26, 2014 Well I understand that for weapon attachments, which I should have mentioned in my post, my bad. I'm more talking about items tho. Will they have any effect on how the item behaves? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLastEmp 295 Posted February 26, 2014 The amount of damage they absorb is directly related to their condition...Your motor bike helmet absorbs more of the damage when its pristine than when its damaged. Your ballistic helmet can take one round from a mosin leaving you unconscious for a minute or two but otherwise unharmed ONLY if its pristine, otherwise you will take some damage. A Jacket or vest will absorb damage from a zombie causing it to degrade further. And all items loose their color and become faded as they wear down making camouflage less effective. That's it for now... could be that in the future badly damaged clothing has a chance to drop an item or something... who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zhrike 264 Posted February 26, 2014 My guess is that for most items the statuses are placeholders for deleterious effects that will be added later. Such as: percentage of being sickened by badly damaged food over pristine, etc. Just a guess, though. With other items it's also obvious: compasses are much harder to read the worse they are. Once they add in more complex health and sickness, survival aspects like that, we may see these things carry concrete meaning in game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samuri_Bake_Pie 96 Posted February 26, 2014 Each case is item specific. Bandages that are badly damaged have a higher chance then pristine ones to get you an infected wound. Food is less nutritious, and so on. Clothing protects you less the more damaged it is etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Demoth 366 Posted February 26, 2014 From what I've noticed, A pristine buttstock will out shoot a damaged one any day, Same goes for foregrips.Some people also claim that damaged food gives less nutrients and such.I have noticed no difference in MOA from a pristine MP buttstock to a badly damaged one, but that was 2 weekd ago. Did it recently change? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
