What ever happened to adding....

1.Tisy military base?

2.scope for the carbine?

3.Alaskan winchester model 70?

Thanks in advance if you know the answers.

[domonos 10]

O yeah and chainsaws.

Alpha.

 

But seriously, why would you want a chainsaw? While it was fun in Doom, by the time you find a chainsaw then jerry can with fuel and some two stroke oil to mix with it, let alone a file to sharpen the chain, the noise created by the saw would/should alert every zed within 500m minimum.

 

Also military loot sucks balls IMO, too much mil loot already let alone have another KOS point on the map, also why an American rifle in a post Soviet state?

 

Just my personal opinions, remember to never let logic get in the way of a good story.

My guess is that they're still in development. At least I know that the Alaskan are

While we are at it, what happened to the birdies circling high in the sky? I liked them, made me feel less lonely traversing chernarus.

The Alaskan has been confirmed and is in development.

 

More rifles with lower powered scopes is supposed to be a thing, but I haven't seen an ETA.

 

Chainsaws made a brief appearance in experimental, but proved to be buggy. It is unclear if they will come back. Yes, they tended to attract a lot of attention and they didn't run very long on a tank of fuel.

They will probably be primarily used to get into someones base

There is no reason for half of the items in this game to exist. The chainsaw would be another item to add to that list. I would argue that a chainsaw has more value (and a higher fun factor) than half of the melee weapons added in 0.53, for example. It should be hard to use though, for sure.

All of the "fake" animals that were part of the environment were removed to make way for the "real" animals when they were added. I do believe that the developers have expressed an interest in adding some environment-only animals back in such as birds, but in a better way than what the legacy Arma environment allowed. We are already seeing a taste of that with the dragonflies in 0.54 :)

You don't cut down many trees do you? Well I do... and a chainsaw would be better so I wouldn't have to ruin my axes.

Goddamn that bird... I cannot tell you HOW many times I saw it out of the corner of my eye and thought it was a player while sniping. Also amusing was once I was waaaaay out to sea and I thought I was seeing flying fish jumping. Turned out to be the bird flying mostly underwater, I assume because it flies relative to the ground and the water was very deep.

1. No idea.

2. Removed on purpose (not sure why).

3. It was a carry-over from Arma 2 and is redundant due to the UK Assault Vest.

4. No idea.

5. Likely included in an Experimental build by accident, they don't yet have a function.

6. Zluta sodas (Kolaloka, Klasik, and Malinovka) were replaced by Pipsi, Spite, and Notacola.

What if it is the point to attract every zombie in a 500m radius?  I can already see the use for it.  When zeds are fixed and the numbers increased tenfold, the safest way to loot a large city would be to back up to a doorway with a couple chainsaw guys and barricade yourself inside a house with a mountain of corpses.  Given that the infinite spwan BS goes away.  Clear!
