GunnyITA 107 Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) Hello guys After posting in the "Introducing yourself" topic, this is my first post and I hope you'll understand my english :P :D Well, i was looking around if there was a similar topic as this, I've didn't find any clear answer to it, so i'm gonna ask you if there's any kind of stealth moving or something to prevent that your footsteps can't be heard from a long distance. I've found on a topic someone has replied there's a binding key for a slower walking, and I think i've found it as it hasn't a key. So that I've bind it to CTRL+Left but it does not work. "By myself", while looking from the 3rd person and i'm starting to walk, the noise of the footsteps from STAND to CROUCH are the same and they are not that less noisy than those made by running. In my opinion, Everytime the engagements inside the builings starts because footsteps are heard from a long distance, even while walking. And actually seems that the only way to make less noise is to crawl....but you can't go over the stairs or aim while moving :-/ One day i was exploring inside a small police station and i was walking...when i was leaving from it i've checked the sides: from the left...to the ri.. OH NO!....one outside was already aiming me, for sure because he heard my footstep from the outside and then shoot me down. I don't cry because i've been killed, it's part of the game! Just i think that the surprise effect is all about luck to be the right man in the wrong time. From what i see it is hard to sneak behind someone in a building and says "FREEZE", exept he's eating or chatting with someone else....(well, on youtube there are exeptions like somoene is crawling behind a guy by "side crawling" to prevent making noise and put handcuffs on him... side crawling?! out of realism :-/ ) Edited April 10, 2014 by GunnyITA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GunnyITA 107 Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) I'm already using Shift to walk...but i do hear my footsteps. What about the others? Will they hear them? From what distance? Edited April 10, 2014 by GunnyITA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Knifeguy 17 Posted April 10, 2014 Your own footsteps are far more apparent to you than to anyone else. If you're moving slowly you'll be hard to hear from other peoples perspectives. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And actually seems that the only way to make less noise is to crawl....but you can't go over the stairs or aim while moving :-/ Yeah the noises sound much louder client side than they actually appear for everyone else. As you'll have noticed you can get pretty easily jumped by other players (especially if there's some desync or the server is lagging because their noises just somehow don't register or get from the server to you). But as you mentioned, rolling is so far the only way to move silently but eventually I think they've said they will add noise to this (makes sense - how could you silently roll over with a backpack full of stuff????). The guy at police station most likely saw you in a window if it was far away, the noises dont carry too far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weyland Yutani (DayZ) 1159 Posted April 11, 2014 Your not as loud as you think you are. Once you get into populated area's you can quick tap the button for a completely silent approach. Won't move fast, but you will be completely quiet to you as well as everyone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
