Mosin damage nerf

[Cap'n (DayZ) 1827]

Today, I survived a lot. I ran hell from a group of three geared players at Berenzino, who dumped about as many rounds out in my direction as there are people in Thailand. On my journey, I met up with a friend at Krasnostav. We began looting the NEAF- I entered an office, headed upstairs, and was greeted by a trigger happy camper with an M4, loaded to bear. He hit me twice, and I returned with a single .45 round to his skull, dealing him a swift and embarrassing death. However, I experienced an unusual bug- the contents of his body were not showing up. Deciding the simplest fix would be a relog, I reclogged whilst my comrade covered the door. Fixed! So we continued on our way, hungry for more gear and more action. We decided on NWAF; if it isn't full if players to kill, then it's packed with untouched loot! So we set yet again on our journey of adventure and mischief.

 

After hearing an explosion outside Grishino, we became increasingly paranoid. The server restarted, and we set yet upon the airfield. It was decided our best course of action would be to observe the base from afar. I set up against a spruce fir in a tree line just a few hundred meters from the ATC control tower. My friend, thirsty for looted, begged for me to release him from our observation. Something was wrong, very wrong. Out the corner of my eye, I spotted movement. Two players, who looked suspiciously like dupers (they both had near identical clothing), were ransacking the ATC for treasure. I slid to the side for a better angle of fire, and recalled my trigger happy friend. They finished looting, and made course for the hangars. They began looting them, one by one. I saw a perfect window of opportunity to take them out. I asked my friend to sit behind the very last hangar, and wait for my go to attack. We would pounce the moment they set for the very last one.

 

We both waited for our mark. They exited the fifth hangar, and I opened fire. The first one, Mosin in hand, took two direct rounds to the chest. Assuming him dead, I switched to the second man. One round connected with his shoulder, and he dived behind the sixth hangar. My friend emerged from his veil, and fired several off before being hit in the leg. They both reloaded, but my comrade was quicker. He dispatched the duping bastard, and we set upon our gracious bounty.  There it was again, the damn bug! I tried both bodies, but the loot just wasn't showing up. I entered the hangar, were the first one was presumed to have been dropped. But no- he was standing there, facing the wall- as if AFK. I shot him in the back of the head, and began the process of relogging. The damn game crashed as soon as I exited, and my friend burst into panic. "He's fucking shooting you!", I was quite puzzled- the man took three Mosin rounds, even one to the head! He didn't last very long, as my friend made short work of him.

 

I did fail to notice he wasn't bleeding, and he was probably knocked unconscious by the last round. But when does someone survive three Mosin rounds, and then wake up to kill you? Was it lag? Hacks? Did his press vest protect him (they both had press vests- bit of an indicator of duping)?

 

Whatever it is, it was a rather odd experience. Has anyone else had a similar dilemma?

That Nerf must have been massive, if you have to post it twice. :P

No, the damage wasn't nerfed. I looked at the files and the base damage multiplier is still 12.

 

A single press vest eats one round of 7.62x51mm. Good backpacks and shirts can absorb a bit more. And if you hit the legs, that's less damage done.

No, the damage wasn't nerfed. I looked at the files and the base damage multiplier is still 12.

 

I remember that when they first introduced mosin it was 1 shot kill anywhere, even in legs.

 

Then after few days it was 2 shots to kill.

 

Then later often 2 shot was not enought to kill.

 

And now this.

 

Stealth nerf I say.
