New Attachments/Accessories for Weapons

[tehflapjack 27]

So, I was thinking about some new accessories/attachments. Here is a list of Russian sights/scopes I'd like to see in DayZ:

I suggest you look them up to see what they're each like, most are actually surprisingly unique and different from each other.

 

---{Russian Sights/Scopes}---

{Day/Night Red Dot Sight/Scopes}

• KOBRA - I'd love to see this in fairly soon, it's a very commonly used sight in the Russian military, has four different reticles and sixteen brightness settings to switch between.

• PK-AS - This scope is particularly interesting, it uses a standard red dot surrounded by a circle and when it runs low on battery power the reticle turns black. It's considered one of the most advanced optics in the world. If this scope was added in I'd love to see this is action, it would be rather useful once attachments needing battery power is fully implemented.

• PK-A

• PK1

• NIT-A

 

{Night Vision Sights}

• NSPU

• NSP-3

• NSPUM

 

{Medium Range Scopes}

• 1P29

• 1P78 Kashtan

• ZFK

• PO 3.5x21P

 

{Long Range Scopes}

• PSOP

• PKS-07 - I would presume this will be coming into the game once the SVD is added as it's a very common scope to run with it.

• POS 13x60

• POS 12x54

 

I'd love to see some fore grips making it into the game too, changing some gun recoil and accuracy statistics when attached. There's a wooden fore grip that is in-built with a hand guard for AK rifles which would be cool to see, also your standard ergonomic grips and angled grips for hand guards with rails that would work with both American made weapons; the likes of the M4A1 and AK's with the 'AK Rail Handguard' attachment.

 

Also speaking of American weapons/attachments, I'd like to see the EoTech Holographic Sight in the game, spawning at helicopter crash sites of course. I'd also like to see the ACOG sight working to it's full potential, on the top of the sight you'll be able to see some red what looks like wires, what this actually is is a almost solar panel for the sight where it collects power from the sun to power the reticle on the sight - I'd love to see this working in DayZ, it would be really good once the sights actually need battery power.

 

Suppressors for the AK weapons would be great too, I won't complain about them not working properly because so many people already do plus I'm not some to just bitch about stuff. I would like a variety of suppressors which will work for specific calibers/guns instead of just a suppressor that just goes on everything because that'd be ridiculous. Flash Hiders would a great addition too, I think they would come in very handy as well. I know laser sights are already being added in so need to mention those. New butt stocks, hand guards etc. I do not feel are necessary to mention as not only are there plenty already but I'm confident that many more will be added in anyway.

 

I'm going to make another post soon talking about craft able attachments and other ways I think you should be able to customize your weapons, this post was mainly about pre-built military grade stuff.

 

So, please tell me what you think about these being added into the game and maybe add to the list.

 

EDIT: Not sure what's going on with some of the shades of the writing, sorry about that. It's still perfectly readable though.

I would also like to see more diversity mechanics-wise. Right now attachments only onedimensionally affect dispersion with the odd dexterity modifier in between. I think most of them should not affect dispersion at all (leave this to muzzle attachments) but rather sway, recoil, sights, weight, dexterity, inventory size etc.

 

This way instead of hunting for the best attachments you could outfit weapons for certain purposes and have some tradeoffs. E.g. a plastic buttstock greatly reduces weight and sway but isn't as good at absorbing recoil than a wooden one.

Yeah, weight especially is something I've been wanting for ages to be taken into account. I also like all the other ideas you said and generally making much more in-depth stats, anything that makes DayZ more complex I'm all in for. 

 

You meanting muzzle attachments also reminds me that the likes of Muzzle Breaks and Compensators (I know the Mosin already has one) would be a great addition.

AK Wooden Stock

Extra weight, Less recoil

AK Plastic stock

Less weight, More kick (more durability . . . ?_

 

(Wooden, plastic in black, tan or green) AK Handguard with foregrip

less recoil

 

Sporter .22 plastic body

Less weight

 

Sporter .22 Night sights

 

Sporter .22 Supressor (and subsonic ammo maybe)

 

A scope for the Blaze

 

Sawnoff Blaze (even if it's in the files)

 

Blaze barrel conversion kit (with certain tools you could change the caliber of the top barrel

 

Dare I say it but possibly A mosin (or any bolt action rifle) Straight pull bolt kit

 

M4 rail foregrip, M4 attachable foregrip (unable to use the bipod at the same time (I used one with my G36 when I used to airsoft)

 

Or even an M4 bipod foregrip combo (I seen a few examples when I used to airsoft, Probably wont work on the real thing)

 

I feel like weapon attachments should feel more like glyphs in World of Warcraft if you know what I mean

You know I am totally for more military grade gear being added into this game, the more the merrier. I know there are many here who feel we should not have any what so ever. I'm not one of those people. Now should it be rare? I say yes.  

 

So signed!

Yeah, that'd be really cool actually.
