River Lizard 47 Posted March 21, 2014 Was wondering what happens to your gear if you take a swim in the water? Does it damage any of it? Can you swim with a full backpack? And the last question is, how deep are some of the ponds in the map? Are any of them deep enough that you start swimming? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
So Sexy 259 Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) Being wet shouldnt affect ur stuff, but I wouldnt suggest swimming atm,once lost all of my gear when I got out of the water. Edited March 21, 2014 by So Sexy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChiefMasterKush 321 Posted March 21, 2014 There are beasts in the water that eat gear.. At least there were in the mod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebidee 167 Posted March 21, 2014 There is a dam ... somewhere. I'm sure that's deep enough to swim in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last time I did it it was 2 maybe 3 patches ago, and your character just drops the backpack and gun in the water with no chance of getting it back. It floats.

Caboose187 (DayZ) 3036 Posted March 21, 2014 As far as I know, getting wet doesn't do anything to the gear, yet..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
River Lizard 47 Posted March 21, 2014 Ok thanks for the info. Sounds like my BP and weapons will drop when I enter the water so trying to swim across a body of water wouldn't be a good idea if I wanted my BP and weapons on the other side with me. That's good to know. What's going to happen when and if they introduce rain damage to your clothes? Will the same thing happen crossing streams and small ponds? Will your boots and pants get damaged?

Time to get some wellies out for trudging through water :D Edited March 21, 2014 by Caboose187 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
River Lizard 47 Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) Time to get some wellies out for trudging through water :D Have you tried running in those? It sounds like you have a plastic trash can on your feet and you're trying to run as the can rocks around making more noise than a mosin!!

I haven't noticed anything new Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
River Lizard 47 Posted March 21, 2014 They sure sounded different to me but then again I might be wrong but I thought I could tell the difference between tennis shoes and hiking boot sounds too as a player is running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll have to do this after I watch the worst two teams in the NHL suck Edited March 21, 2014 by Caboose187 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
River Lizard 47 Posted March 21, 2014 Couple weeks ago I found a nice pair of wellies and switched out my worn hiking boots and headed off on a 15 minute field run to another location, by the time I got there and found a pair of perfect military boots those wellies were off my feet asap. From the sound of running it felt like I had 10 lbs of weight on my feet during that 15 minute run. Maybe it's just my headphones but it sure sounded real to me vs tennis shoe sounds.
