Ironclad11 8 Posted April 30, 2014 Hey guys, I was just running toward the North-East airfield to meet up with a friend, on a server of 5 people. As I was running down a dirt road east of Khelm, here http://dayzdb.com/map#7.130.042 I heard a loud metal crash, my screen goes grey for a second, like I got hit by something. The weird thing is, I didn't start bleeding until I got hit a second time, this time in the right arm. The sniper made two more attempts to hit me, both missing as I was flailing my arms panic running into the nearby forest, followed by a quick bandage and logout. My question is, could my Hunter backpack, being full of cans and stuff, protected me from the initial gun shot? I find it kind of strange that I can just walk away from two Mosin shots and not die. Cheers, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hotcakes 348 Posted April 30, 2014 Various gear can block 7.62x51, like the Press Vest. You probably lived because the second shot didn't hit your torso. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tiadashi 262 Posted April 30, 2014 Im convinced it can, saw a dude take an entire m4 clip in the back, he didnt die from that clip but later due to others gunshots - turns out he had 6 protector cases in his backpack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Items inside clothing don't give protective status yet (it might actually be the opposite). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Irish. 4886 Posted April 30, 2014 Things absorb damage. Some better than others, like books/ballistic helmets/protector cases/etc.. The other day I got shot 4 times, and my ballistic helmet in my shirt and the one on my head would have saved my life had I not thought a friend was the one shooting me and did nothing about it until I was dead. Damn miscommunication will kill you every time. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ironclad11 8 Posted April 30, 2014 I have a UK Assault Vest, so I don't think that will protect me much. Indeed, the second shot hit my right arm, so that's why it registered. Any ideas on how to repair my right arm, then? haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

comikz 218 Posted April 30, 2014 I've seen people saved by having cans of food in their vest/pants and being able to absorb more damage than they should be before being rendered unconscious/bleeding/dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qww 287 Posted April 30, 2014 a loud metal crash? what? anyway are you sure it wasn't an invisible zombie hitting you? i had encountered at least one, since latest update Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-DMG-Jonesy 226 Posted May 1, 2014 And here I was wearing the press vest because I thought it was smexy. Come to find it might save my worthless life too!Tarnation... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghostflux 100 Posted May 1, 2014 It might be a placebo, but I always put a helmet in my pants, so that my pants take longer to get ruined. Because once your gear is ruined, it doesn't protect you from hits anymore. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got hit in the arm and saw 2 more bullets plink near me so it wasn't a zombie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
