haven923 65 Posted August 29, 2014 Just wondering if anyone else out there still has one?Long story short, I picked up DayZ a few months before deploying overseas. I instantly fell in love with it and played it nearly daily. Through skill, teamwork, and no small amount of dumb luck, I ended up having a character who became known as "Dr. Grant" based on some visual similarities that has now been alive for over seven months, with almost two months of that being nearly daily playing for at least a few hours. This character has by far been my most memorable character and has endured the most life-threatening situations and some of the most unfortunate accidents. Fairly early on, I acquired a Mosin Nagant at a time when you either had this rifle or an M4 to be "fully geared." This same rifle has endured the spray paint bug where, once painted, only a single round could be chambered in the rifle at a time. That was patched and the rifle regained full functionality. Through many many (MANY) hours of playing, I acquired every attachment for the rifle. When I saw the patch notes and, more specifically, that the bipod had been stripped from being compatible with the Mosin (which I support for realism, as much as it may suck) a little piece of me broke. I thought for sure that I would have to run around with nothing more than my FNX45 to protect me until I found a new replacement. This was reinforced when I logged onto a character I had managed to laggily log into who had obtained some binoculars and said binoculars had been wiped when they were updated in a patch. Much to my surprise (and relief), the Mosin remained fully functional, bipod included. Now it has been quite some time since this patch was passed, so I wanted to know if what I consider a unique gem in the SA is truly that unique. I'm not trying to get bragging rights by any means. I certainly hope I'm not the only one to still have such a rare item. I actually have since added a grass wrap to the rifle making it the most upgraded a Mosin could get.So... anyone else have one? Anyone have any items that you consider extremely rare or now unobtainable? Anyone have a character who has been alive for 6+ months with frequent playing? (For this, frequent can mean 100 + hours on the character with at least 5 hours in the past week) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Koala :3 116 Posted August 29, 2014 I do, i still have one on hardcore! :D 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tatanko 5591 Posted August 29, 2014 I don't have the titular bipod-equipped Mosin, but my character has been around for 100+ hours. It's been a long journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aquamonkey 5 Posted August 29, 2014 Had one on Hardcore, traded it for a tent. Anyway, wont really matter who has what if that wipe gets pushed through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bauertschi 254 Posted August 30, 2014 Don't discount how many ppl will keep such a legacy gun, if they shoot the owner. There's still a few around. It's almost a duty to keep such weapons or other items ingame that no longer exist. Now that I have never seen is an SKS with LRS, though, according to rumors, those also existed once... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haven923 65 Posted August 30, 2014 I'm not alone!! :lol: Unfortunately, Dr. Grant (which is based on Dr. Alan Grant from Jurassic Park, sorry for not clarifying that earlier xD) is on the normal servers so our characters couldn't meet up and go on a sniping spree ;) While still "in country" I'm being very careful with my character. Low-pop servers for now until I get back to the states, haha. This has given me the chance to play more on experimental and hunt for some bugs, though...

stinkenheim 249 Posted August 30, 2014 My regular guy has one and a pre heli crash m4. Play more hardcore, only going to reg when playing with friends which has the bonus of them stashing my gear if I get killed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soulfirez 901 Posted August 30, 2014 I had one till a week ago when i made the mistake of painting the mosin ... The bipod just vanished on the freshly black painted mosin 8(. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever rumors you heard are complete bullshit. SKS has never had LRS, unless it was hacked somehow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In STABLE the SKS has never been able to mount an LRS, but I believe it about experimental... BUT, experimental gets wiped often, so there are no more SKS's with LRS's in existence.. And even if there were, they'd be mostly useless. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryanh 36 Posted September 3, 2014 I recently found and killed a player on hardcore with one, but he also had 130k Stang rounds... mosttly ungeared though So prehaps he killed a hacker, dident seem like he was one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwinSpire 49 Posted September 3, 2014 I have one... still works to. Just logged in the other day after a long hiatus. From what I hear it would have been better to have a kitted out M4 (I traded one for the mosin). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And even if there were, they'd be mostly useless. That third post was referring to the SKS "eating" the Long Range Scope when attempting to mount it. At one point you could drag 'n' drop the Long Range Scope on the SKS, but it would just make your scope disappear. It was never actually mounted on the gun. That's what the third post was referring to. So yeah, Etherimp was correct. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kavemandayz 14 Posted September 6, 2014 I had one until my character got reset by servers (not an official wipe). Just 'losing connection' then when I join, I'm a fresh spawn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

morthrane 2 Posted September 6, 2014 Don't have one, but recently saw one in the wild... so they still exist. Bet in many cases its a bipod'd mosin that belongs to someone who hasn't played in a long time, and just started playing again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
