i3uildabear 0 Posted May 25, 2014 By the way im not a bandit i just need to defend myself. But my problem is when i'm being attacked and i kill them sometimes i just keep shooting and i see videos on youtube when people always know exactly when they die. So my main question is how can i tell when a person is dead when shooting at them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jvalor 59 Posted May 25, 2014 If I am in close range, I just work my way to their body (cautiously) and put another round in the back of their skull. It's one of the basic things you learn in the military. We call it a dead-check. Others call it double tap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kakysas666 191 Posted May 25, 2014 By the way im not a bandit i just need to defend myself. But my problem is when i'm being attacked and i kill them sometimes i just keep shooting and i see videos on youtube when people always know exactly when they die. So my main question is how can i tell when a person is dead when shooting at them. Those streamers you see on YouTube never know their enemy died. They want to believe it, because they shot and it fell down. But you can never know unless you check the pulse or shoot straight and accurate headshot. Most of the time people just go unconscious and die several minutes later from bleeding. So take those youtubers with a grain of salt. They are not pros and DayZ isn't cowadooty where you can hit in any body part and if enemy drops, then it is dead. This game doesn't work this way despite its bugs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

energeticsheep 95 Posted May 26, 2014 If you fire a round through the back of his skull the only thing you're ruining is his brain, and I'm sure you're not that interested in harvesting his brain now, are you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G-h0p 40 Posted May 26, 2014 The way the person is laying down. If both legs are extended, victim is dead. If one leg is bent, then the victim is unconscious.Alot of youtubers know because they see the blood splatter at the head level. Headshot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jvalor 59 Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) Off topic, but I feel bad for anyone who thinks any and all YouTubers are Day Z pros. Ever wonder why most of the shit you see in their videos look so chaotic and exciting? Probably because a lot of it is staged to get more views and subscribers.On topic, the leg placement is a good point. I just dead-check. It's habit..
