to the guy i killed at Bolota ATC with 5 pelican cases full of ammo and grenades:

[anarky321 36]

holy crap man if i knew how heavily armed you were i wouldn't have even tried to attack you with a mosin

 

as soon as i finished looting you a guy just as heavily armed started running up to the ATC idk if he was your friend but wow man that gave me a rush

 

if you want your m4 and grenades back tell me something about your inventory that only you would know and ill meet up with u and give it back to u i really nave no need for so much firepower

[Re-Patch 47]

Dude that's nice of you I guess, but 9 out of 10 people with gear like that just bought it, they don't care (well they will rage but apart from that, guess not).

Check the protector cases and the ammo, if they are all worn/pristine (or same status in general) and the M4 parts all are worn/pristine (mostly with ACOG scope) as well, it's 99% a bought set.

 

Don't feel bad & enjoy the stuff (except when you got something like unlimited ammo or something in the boxes, then throw it away please for everyone's sake):

gear dosnt mean shit in this game. I have killed geared people with axes or walked up behind them and knocked them out before. it just takes time and to be able to keep calm in a situation like that.

 

and not to mention a mosin is a really powerful gun. its generally is a one shot kill or at least knocks people out.

Where is this mystery underground black market for in-game gear? :p I'm not asking because I want anything, I just have a hard time believing that people are paying actual money for gear in this game.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Moselina for life :) And yes, all you need is any melee weapon or fist knuckles and knowledge of the game (and luck sometimes) ;)

Haha shit, if only you knew... please stay as innocent & cool as you are now, this game needs more people like you ;) :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

 

Actually I'm not too mad at gear buyers, at least they aren't hacking and they bring some gear in to the game I would never see otherwhise (M4 for example) and are mostly easy to take down.

 

cheers & have a good one

Haha thanks. I'm sure I could find these places if I dug around a bit, but I think I'd rather stay blissfully ignorant in this case. If I truly need anything, the fine folks over at the Trading Post can gather what I'm seeking.

Wow I too was unaware you could buy these sorts of things, I understand the farmers in WoW or SWTOR or any other mmo but with this game it would just be silly because you can lose it so easy. I just wish I had the disposable income to piss away like that, not to buy items ingame but just some extra spending cash.

With gear being so easy to get, even on private hives. I just don't see the need to buy it, get it the old fashion way it...find it or kill someone for it. Beans to you OP for relieving that hoarder of their stash

You would definitely find it, it's not hard unfortunately.

But we shouldn't mention it any further here, these aren't exactly places that promote legit gameplay etc. ;)  and the less people ever know about it the better.

 

This trading post thing is a pretty sweet idea though (there are even websites for that I think), gives you a chance to meet cool people as well.

^This^

I don't understand it either. Lazyness I guess, they just want PvP and don't want to loot, only explanation I can come up with. If they only knew what they are missing.

 

There is really no need for it, once you know the game good enough you can get your hands on any item you want within one or two hours I'd say, even when you have to KOS for it (there are more than enough PvP only servers with a lot of people on them) and that's still 100x better than hacking, gear buying, duping and all that bullshit.

 

cheers

Just last night I saved a guy and his mate who were stuck in a flipped truck by letting them walk out onto my body. They were fully geared with Smersh vests and swords. I was decently geared myself and was telling them how I got lucky at the Balota airfield and ended up with some gear I've never had before.

 

They proceeded to tell me about the server he runs with his friends and that I can go there and buy gear-sets and all the proceeds go to server costs. I assume the guys just loot heli-crash sites with restarts, or server hop (if not private) to gather it all and then sell these sets to player who want them.

 

I told them I wasn't interested but ended up playing with them for a while before the server I we were on reset. That was the first I'd ever heard of it (though I figured it might be happening in some capacity).

[Dagwood 680]

Hold on... Did the protector cases have 4 grenades an a flash in one box, 5 60 round mags assorted in 2 boxes, morphine and epi in one box, and loose ammo in the other? I killed a guy with the same kit the other day and I'm rolling as a bad kid duper now. So much firepower. M4 with bipod and acog is god

Sorry, this is just not true. Dont we all roll with w/p items? I have several characters pimped up with stuff that I obtained in over 100hrs of surviving and searching heli crashes.

Only once i made a mistake of dying in a noob zone (elektro) just so i got to hear some squeeking "OMG guys a dupper, i killed a cheater *gasps* " accusations.

Gotta say, that accusation pissed me allot more than it should.

 

Im not saying there is no duppers- unfortuantely there is tons of, but some of us actualy earned our gear fair. You can often see by players inventory he actualy "cared" about his loot. I find most of the duppers lack something. they will either wear a normal jacket, normal jeans and a mountain backpack so full of ammo you will drop/lose a mag everytime youll want to reload. This is a typical dupper. Their inventory makes no sense. Its never practical, cause they cant bother with free stuff. Do you think any of the normal players would risk losing a mag they were searching for hrs (sometimes) and overkill themselves with so much ammo they would drop bandages for it? Justa saying, tottaly decked out player shouldnt always be consider a dupper on the spot (altho he probably is)

 

If you're sick of beach clusterf**** and you go inland, its only the matter of time when will you get completey decked out.

If the God box duping is still going on, it's a pretty sad indictiment of the game's progess tbh.

 

I've worked hard to get good gear, so feel this sad trade should be condemned absolutely. Dupers on one hand, squeakers with parents' credit card on the other. Not a pretty sight.

[gibonez 3633]

That was always a tenement of dayz but who knows if that will change due to the body armor.

 

Let's just hope the game does not suffer like Arma 3 did because of body armor.

I've seen ads and people pay more for gear boxes than they pay for the game itself. Same with cheats. It's bizarre to me but I suppose we are living in an age where buying perks is normal enough. I'm amazed it's a viable business at all but it is.

Never have I paid for gear or duped it and I roll with better gear than that and am able to gear up better than that in a single day. I also play on mainly 2 servers...

It is easy to get gear by getting off the coast....

Agree body armor is pretty lame.

At least I normally shoot for the legs

Well whatever adds you're looking at, they're clearly not selling anything. I've seen people selling full loadouts for 5$. These gear sets are obviously duped, of course.

 

But I agree with some of the people who have posted; just because someone has a lot of gear doesn't mean they've paid for it, or had it duped for them. You don't even have to server hop to get good gear, just play at the times when all of the little children of the world are either in school, or in bed. Personally I play for an hour or two before I go to work, 5-7 am. Tons of loot, no KOS'ers.

What kind of fucking loser buys gear in a survival game? Wait, H1Z1 does it too.

Buying ANYTHING [especially] in an ALPHA version of a video game in which you could lose all you bought with one improperly mounted ladder or a stray bullet is probably the biggest waste of money you could think of. Heating your home by burning $5 bills is less of a waste.
