Should we all start off with a pistol in Dayz Standalone?

[Jossell 1]

Played the Arma 2 dayz mod recently and found a server where you start with a gun. Should the SA do the same?

[DayZ_Friendly 145]

I disagree with this proposition.

[Jossell 1]

Dayz friendly should I take that as a maybe?

[Geckofrog7 1168]

LOL no. Game is easy as it is. Takes the excitement out of finding your first gun.

[weedmasta 784]

I say no. An axe maybe.. and maybe an amphibia. But basically no.

 

Start with undies, thats it, I say.

 

BTW, does the name amphibia remind anyone else of those damn US commercials for this stuff? lol

[AryanBoogeyman 185]

Not only a pistol but a LRS outfitted Mosin with at least 500 rounds of ammo, an M-4 RedDot, big ass backpack full of all the accessories.....................

I still haven't ever found a Mosin in my 33 hours of gameplay :/

They are readily available if you know where to look.

 

I won't ruin the experience by telling you. Enjoy the journey and resist the temptation to take shortcuts.

My 2 cents: no.

Finding your first gun after a respawn is fun.

[-Gews- 7443]

Nope.

 

I see those little rule 9 edits... so I'll say it's because unlike the mod, fresh spawns already start with a weapon and are by no means defenseless: their fists.

[Irish. 4886]

LOL.. DO IT NOW!

[Geckofrog7 1168]

 their fists.

Unarmed: 100

[GrappleX 354]

Not a gun no.

 

Maybe a little pocket knife, or something to that effect.

 

Nothing too major, but more than nothing.

[Powell (DayZ) 734]

Fists are weapons, I'm content

[plexico 386]

If rocket actually implemented a gun on spawn I would quit the game. For me it really takes out the survival aspect and basically says "This game is more focused on pvp than survival".  Plus, you have your knockers. If you know how to use them those things can take out a geared player with a few punches to the face.

[DayZ_Friendly 145]

For me the different stages of being armed is fun.  Having nothing, you have to run from everything and sneak around.  It's a different mode of survival.  When you have an axe, then it's another mode of survival.

 

You give everyone a weapon at start and you take away the fun of this stage of being "unarmed."  If all you want to do is be able to start shooting at people as a fresh spawn, then you are missing a very fun (for me) part of the game.

[TheWizard14 372]

What I think?

 

 

 

If guns were added to spawn it would become a stupid fucking dayz overwatch type server.

 

 

First off, if you spawn with a gun and you spot someone who worked so hard to get all their gear, then you could get a lucky shot and take all their stuff just like that. NOBODY fucking likes that shit. 

 

Secondly, it just promotes killing others, and tons of dead bodies will be everywhere, so you will get unlimited ammo.

 

And this one is like the first reason, if you see snipers, you could instantly kill them as a fresh spawn if you have a hand gun and sneak up.

 

SO 

 

NO

[anothercynicalbrit 166]

No way man, one of the best things about dayz as a game is that you start with nooothing, zilch, f all.

 

If i spawned with a pistol why would i bother going ten miles north, i would rather take my chances murdering the next bob i see even if i die until i am successful.

[irl-calibre 744]

Run Jossell..  FUCK SAKE RUN QUICK.. TO THE CASTLE.. They're coming after you pitch forks and torches lit.. RUN!!!!

[amiasfree 262]

I don't want guns on spawn, but rather the ability to craft a primitive one at get go if you find the right materials (a la improvised courier bag). Would even the playing field a bit on populated servers.
