Snipers

What would you guys think if they added in he L115a(L96) or some other snipers thaty will either be found at heli crash sites or very rare to find.

I'm going to be indifferent to what weapons get added as long as they're reasonable. Finding ammunition that is compatible with some 'exotic Western' weaponry will be hard, using a rifle that is chambered in a local calibre will be king as ammunition may not be endless, but it is in comparison to others. Looking at you, dragunov <3.

If it was both very rare and liited to specific places like helicopter crash sites - why not? In fact the weapon might be even on the impractical side outside of organized squadplay. I would also like it if sniper rifles would share ammo with some other weapons to get some competitive pressure.

 

I think the L96 might fit quite nicely. L115 less so because of the specialized caliber that does not allow for a more common competitor. L121 is actually interesting as well if they would also add a vehicle mounted HMG of the same caliber.

Only if they make sniping harder....it should be more variables affecting Sniping... weather temperature, elevation, wind direction and strength, ammunition and weapon condition, and scope calibration. Then you can have as many sniper rifles as you want.

Dude, just in case you didnt know, with the current weapon sway system, its nearly impossible to shoot behind 200m with Scope...pretty retarded

 

...and for smartasses, no i havent been running or whatever, and yes i have been in a prone position...

I'd suggest trying to apply a splint. I did a 700m shot a mere hour ago without any issue. 

Sounds like you might have a fracture that isn't showing up

This man gets it.

 

It's amazing how shockingly easy it is to snipe in dayz. It is easier than even some arcade games like Battlefield.

Thats only if you are retarded enough to ignore the sway and continue to use the point&click method you are used from other games. People who actually factor in the sway can shoot much further and still hit their target - just like real life shooters.

 

You may have the argument that the sway is too much for rifles with buttstock - though its not enough for rifles without. Even less sway would still cause those "issues" people are crying about: not being able to shoot people at long range easily. Bipod should also reduce sway instead of dispersion.

In battlefield there is more cover and it takes two chest shots always.

In DayZ you get people running down roads, stopping often, running in open field, it will take ages for someone to hunt you down after you kill them once, and no retarded scope glint while looking away from the sun.

the scope sway is nothing much. And bean king i thyink you have a good point which is why i pout L115a (l96) as a thing saying L96 eqaully as good. they could aslo have the l96 which uses the 7.62 becasue my research has foudn a modified varient.

Not foreign rare rifles like the L96, but I'd like to see more large caliber civilian hunting rifles like the CZ rifle from the mod or a remington 700 and some Russian rifles like the SV98 and SVD.

I've been saying it since the mod released, if they added the ACE II ballistics/sniping system I would be the happiest man on these forums.

The SVD has to be added at some point, surely. That would be a travesty...

I just hope I won't have grey hair when that happens.

If you still have hair at all. :D

It is being added, afaik the artwork is finished now it needs animations and such like.

Please suggest all weapons on the Community's Weapon Suggestion Thread.

So much for DayZ being a game...

Game =/= "must be easymode". I hope people will understand this some day after the industry somehow (sadly) managed to promote this idea.

 

Sniping being hard would really help the gameplay as it makes sniping more fun (more challenging and rewarding) and more fun to play against (lower chance of getting killed from afar and even lower chance of your killer being a little kid). This goes on to other gameplay elements - the game is supposed to be hard, thats the beauty about it.
