Irish. 4886 Posted March 7, 2014 Has anyone seen any info or done any testing on the maximum effective range of the walkie talkies in Dayz? ..it would be really helpful to know. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DropBearChick 1217 Posted March 7, 2014 Like 5km i think but im not 100% Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antykain 200 Posted March 7, 2014 Around 1000m meters is it's effective range.. anything past 900m and it starts getting staticy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oregonized 673 Posted March 7, 2014 From my testing 1000 meters is the max range on them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antykain 200 Posted March 7, 2014 From my testing 1000 meters is the max range on them. Max 'effective' range.. yes. I've been well past the 1000m mark on the map and still be able to use the transmitters. Like I said in my above post, anything past 900m, you start hearing static. Which increases the farther you go.. obviously. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Etherimp 1323 Posted March 7, 2014 1000 can confirm.. At 1000 you mostly just hear static though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are more of a play toy you set up in a high traffic area and screw with people without putting yourself in danger. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khad (DayZ) 293 Posted March 7, 2014 No. But as soon I'll find a battery, I'll feel lucky to broadcast on the standard frequency as an open channel :> 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enforcer1975 1111 Posted March 7, 2014 Does the radio actually have a use with 3rd party coms around unless you want to keep it "survivalish" and realistic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brumey 116 Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) can u place walkie talkies turned on on a specific frequency on the ground? or does it only "listen" when u press a certain button?! would be hilarious if u place one in the fiurehouse in elektro and then from a far away distance let the walkie talkie talk!

hombrecz 832 Posted March 7, 2014 Does the radio actually have a use with 3rd party coms around unless you want to keep it "survivalish" and realistic? So you are on the same teamspeak with the whole server population? Personally I would love to have radio chat with some strangers.Wish walkies were a tad less rare and that they introduce also military ones with wider reach. Ofcourse this isn't very high on to do list for devs, still would be cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thelonewarrior 886 Posted March 7, 2014 Yeah I've tried it as well, beyond 500m you practically have to shout to be heard above the static But works clearly at 500m or less Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
