Is CZ550 even worth it

[despair (DayZ) 9]

if your plan is to snipe people, is cz550 even worth attempting to get and find all the ammo for it vs trying to find better ones like DMR? for me the problem with cz550 is the lack of ammo. its only 5 rounds per mag and the only place the mags spawn are in barns, and its very rare. other rifles have 20+ rounds per mag so you only need a couple mags and you're set.

so is it even worth it using cz550 and running out of ammo fast or should you just try to find a DMR or something with more mags?

Farmer zombies drop ammo for it, and it doesn't spawn just in barns, it spawns in all farm buildings and I believe some residential.

The question is malformed because yes of course it is worth it if you don't have a DMR, if you have a DMR then no it isn't worth it.

If you're asking which one to keep - keep the DMR.

I found one last night in a barn with two mags/clips.

I've had fun with it so far, although when I run outta ammo, ima dump it

I just found one now, put it in my backpack cause I had my M16A2.

Also found 6 magazines for it.

They are pretty rare, but if you know how to "zero" (or are on a server that gives range with a simple mouse scroll) you can get easy kills.

I perfer using the Lee Enfield due to the ease of access to ammunition and you can use it at close range as a slug shotgun of sorts (hits HARD), but the CZ550 has it's own little place.

NOTE: Replace with DMR, M24 or similar rifles as soon as possible, they are better in most aspects. Good luck finding them.

you can find CZ mags in any type of loot pile in markets, apts, cathedrals, etc.

Hmm cant remember when I saw CZ550 for the last time.

I think if that rifle had some mildots ,then it would be good, but as it is, its just sorts of starting sniper gun with disadvantage of not having mildots for proper range assesment.

cz550 is a good weapon, not as loud as the 50 cal, so you wont have to wory about zombie hords coming at you after shooting it...

CZ550's used to be fairly common in barns, and a great way to fight mil-grade enemies.

PvE players complained that CZ's must be why people are killing them, so rocket nerfed the spawn rate. (Of course, there was no fluctuation in PK rates, just stupid people being stupid)

Now you can't even have legit overwatch in your group unless you're specced out with mil-grade gear yourself.

I have plenty of ammo for the 550; like 5 mags.

I haven't found one yet, but when I do, I've got ammo.
