What clothing set/weapons would you add if you could?

[Karmaterror 982]

I just want some realistic backpack colours...I mean I never see backpacks like the ones we have in most camping stores. Its blacks, greys, olives, tans. These are like those damn budget packs from the supermarket or something.

 

PS The craftable packs still rock but need a black pack!

[Katana67 2907]

That looks like an Colt M727 or M723, not an M4A1, which makes sense because this looks to be previous UK military weapons - L1A1, M72 LAW, Browning Hi-Power (L109), Sterling L2A3, and the M16 with the XM148

 

It appears to just be an M4A1 with an older stock. It's definitely got a railed upper (as you can see by the detachable handguard) and has the heavier barrel as is typical of M4s.

[Mookie (original) 799]

I'd seriously like to see an FN FAL/L1A1 in game. Would also like to see more matching combat clothing, eg DPM jacket, trousers, etc.

That picture also consists of pretty much all weapons I (strongly) want in the game - A Sterling or Sten gun with the magazine on the side, an M72 LAW for a disposable rocket launcher, the Browning Hi-Power for more variety, the L1A1/FN FAL for a mid-tier battle rifle, and a full-length M16, although I'm incredibly torn over whether they should do an M16A1 or M16A4,

 

No m16a2 love ?

 

That 3 round burst while the m4 remains full auto.

[Niteowl 5]

Since everything under the sun has already been mentioned, Id like to simply suggest more colors of spray paint and wraps!

[Katana67 2907]

I also giggle when people act as if weapon attachments are something new.

 

 

Australian SASR (Vietnam)

 

 

 

US SOF (Vietnam)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rhodesian SOF and/or Light Infantry (Rhodesian Bush War)

 

 

 

Would be neat if they'd allow for cannibalizing parts, so that one could sacrifice a spare M4A1 to snag the grip for a makeshift foregrip.

[gibonez 3633]

 

White Phosphorus grenade

 

This little gem could be a great addition especially when dealing with entrenched players in troublesome areas.

 

The grenade could emit nasty smoke that causes low damage over time and forces players to vacate a building in order to not die.

M16A2 and M16A4 are three round burst, I'd just rather have an M16A4 because you could use the M4A1 optics.

[gibonez 3633]

That makes sense although I always assumed the a2 had a railed top once you removed the carry handle. 

 

I have always had a soft spot for the m16a2 something about the look just gets me worked up. The Canadian c7 rifle also has the same effect.

I have a gigantic hardon for Rhodie stuff. An L1A1 would be my dream gun in this game if it had their camo on it.

And then obviously the MP5K is in game and the M727 is, for all intents and purposes, an M4A1 with a permanently attached carry handle.

 

Hm personally I'm against majority of western WW2 weapons ingame as well as some modern oddities.

I don't think that adding every single weapon there is would make the game better.

Ofc you were not commenting on rarity, but still.

 

It reminds me of czech tale about Dog and Cat making a cake. They put in everything they liked. Cooked it, but after eating it, they got sick.

[gibonez 3633]

You guys are looking at the guns in that picture meanwhile I am eyeing all of the explosives on the bottom right corner.

 

Really hope there is a good booby trap system in the future. The potential for explosives aiding in ambushes, base defense and random chaos is too good to ignore.

You can do remote det grenades right now.

Chris Torchia has said that a FAL of some type is on his "eventually" list.

 

EDIT - Man, the potpourri of gear in Ukraine will never cease to amaze me. Very cool!

Walther Tactical Tomahawk. I want that thing in my beltloop, not on my back. I want a quick, multi-purpose tool that works as a melee weapon as well as a splitting axe.

I don't think we should have every weapon that exists, but I certainly wouldn't be opposed to it, were it actually (reasonably) possible to make detailed models of every firearm ever made.

 

The tale isn't particularly fitting for an overall variety of weapons, because I'd consider DayZ more of the buffet rather than the cake. You can choose whatever you want, and there's a lot to pick from, but you can't, as a player, hold onto everything.

 

The only WW2-era gun I mentioned was the Sten, and that's not even in the picture. I was just commenting on how an SMG with a magazine on the side would be cool, to add to the variety. The Sterling is more realistic (you still see them in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, sometimes), but I made a generalized comment.

 

I wouldn't call the Browning Hi-Power, M72 LAW, or M16 "modern oddities". The Hi-Power is a very popular civilian pistol all over, the M72 LAW is used by quite a few foreign armies, and M16s of all kinds are all over the place. The L1A1 specifically is probably not something you see too often, but I'd rather have the FN FAL anyway, which is used everywhere (for pragmatic reasons, though. There are plenty of other semi-automatic 20-round DMRs)

 

With WW2-era western weapons, you may have a point. Besides the fact that most of them use calibers that probably won't be added (Save for .30-06), you're right in that most of them didn't make it far into Eastern Europe. However, quite a few M1 Garands and M1 Carbines, used by West German, did fall into East German hands, and naturally spread around Europe. The Thompson is also not too odd either, because the Chinese and Vietnamese manufactured unlicensed copies and oftentimes sold them to European countries. Likewise, the M3 Greasegun, which remained in service for a very long time (and was very cheap to manufacture), is not bad, either.

 

You are more likely to find German and Soviet arms, but I wouldn't ever count western arms out.

Claymores are a must have, IMO. Even if they're a helicopter crashsite spawn, they'd be the perfect ambush weapon.

Why a tacti"cool" Tomahawk?

Why not a "simple" Hatchet ( #1 #2) or a stone Tomahawk (Stone, Rope and (Ashwood-) Stick).

 

I understand the "need" for a Tomahawk. But I think, before there's any "specialized" military Item, there should be a civilian, more usual, counterpart.

 

Or just let is saw off some part of the handle from the Splitting Axe.

I see what you mean, and actually I've been thinking more about having a normal hatchet (civilian version) and the tac-hawk (military version). Both would fit in a beltloop instead of on the back, be used in one hand instead of two, be quicker but have less range.

 

I just mentioned the tomahawk because... well because that's the thing I want xD

[gibonez 3633]

I really hope explosives are a big part of the game or at the very least they can potentially be a big part of the game all due to a in depth and complex crafting options.

 

Booby traps need to be a big thing to ensure base defense and area denial.

 

This is one of the reasons I actually would love to see a 60mm mortar of some kind in the game because the 60mm mortar rounds have so much crafting potential especially for roadside IEDs and or base defense laying wire or pressure sensitive detonators in areas heavily traveled by players.

 

 

might be a better fit.

Thank you. This is why I will never understand the desire for one weapon archetype over another.

 

You can choose. It is one of the, if not the absolute, hallmarks of open-world non-linear games.

 

You can choose, right? If you, for some reason, don't want to use Western weapons (and therefore see them all day, because one will be in your hand) then don't. You have that choice.

 

You like bone-stock AKs? Wonderful! Leave the wooden furniture on! No worries!

 

Don't punish those of us who don't discriminate, and don't feel violated by the mere sight of a weapon made/designed somewhere outside of mother Russia. Russians sure don't.

This all the way.

 

I don't want any sort of weapon discrimination. Besides the obvious advantages to character progression (gear wise), variety, and overall gameplay, the entire spectrum of weapons needs a fair representation (only in such a way that benefits gameplay) simply so that people get a better chance to play how they want.

 

People might scream; "DMRs were OP in the mod, they shouldn't be included because they'll be OP here" (highly debatable, but regardless), but in order to promote a true asymmetric experience, guns should be across the board. Instead of just having everyone run around with a small selection of weapons, people can actually specialize in the role that they want, in a way that it can still be balanced.

With a DMR, say the M14, you'll (usually) outclass someone with an AKM, but people still use the AKM. Why? Because it's balanced out by rarity of the gun, the ammunition, and attachments, alongside the fact that the AKM has the advantage in closer environments with a larger magazine and select-fire capability

 

(The original M14 can be fired on automatic, but many later models removed the feature, so it doesn't need to represented in DayZ. Either way, the M14 was awful to use automatic, and that's considering most troops never even use the burst function on M16s with far less recoil and more ammunition)

 

So what if it's a western gun? Realistically speaking, DayZ is a fictional game, and yet the fiction argument is a last resort point at best, while still completely valid. Globalization, illegal arms trade and smuggling, powerful countries supplying smaller countries (and capturing weapons, ala Israel) and simple legal firearm ownership by civilians, are all real things that happen.

 

People want an AK? You can have your AK. People want an M4? You can have your M4. People want a bow? You can have your bow. No need to discriminate.
