Irish. 4886 Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) In-game..for longer than 1 gaming session? As in several days, weeks, months? Im wondering if anyone out there has taken their shoes, boots off and just went barefoot, how long they survived for and if there were any ill effects or things noticed like fall damage, etc.? Im thinking of ditching my boots. They "glow" at night just like glasses and masks do (the artwork has an iridescence about it and you can see players with these items exposed much easier at night than you should be able to). http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/24ncs2/has_anyone_ever_played_barefoot_with_their/ Edited May 3, 2014 by lrish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LigerRider 82 Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) Always do. No negative effects so far. There's always those times when you just feel like a tank, getting shot by a mosin and walking it off, etc, and most of those times I have felt like that were when I have been barefoot. I'm waiting for socks. Edited May 3, 2014 by LigerRider 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BiGoDeViN (DayZ) 423 Posted May 3, 2014 Yeah, I have. Sadly, it doesn't make your footsteps any lighter. And there's no effect to it. In fact, other than storage and bullet resistance, clothes don't either. Can't die of cold so running around shoe-less and pant-less has no effect. In fact, the other day I was playing as a girl. Didn't wear pants or shoes. Just my vest, pack, and a very beautiful red wool coat. I kept asking people we'd meet if my dress was pretty. Good times. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KingOfTime 267 Posted May 3, 2014 Yes, when I was playing a "Hero" I ran around with no shoes all the time and gave stuff to new spawns......in return for their shoes. Well, really, they didnt have a choice, I had a gun, they had shoes that I wanted. So I guess I was kind of a bandit...although kind of a reverse bandit; er, kind of a really pushy salesman with a poor understanding of value. The shoes....I needed them, I wanted them. I WAS THEM. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

comikz 218 Posted May 4, 2014 I've come across several people in-game claiming that wearing no feet gear reduces their walking/running sound on surfaces such as floors/rocks/roads ect.To which I reply with taking off my boots, running across the road and it sounding like I have boots on, so no it gives you no benefit at all.

Iowa23 12 Posted May 5, 2014 Its only safe to go barefoot in Australia as there's less pressure on the feet, and definitely not ok in Ireland.Hope this helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
