Exp Update: 0.56.127TheBeast.

[fingerbblast 9]

As far as I have seen, yes. I have 20 and dumped them in my tent cause I have no clue what uses it. Now..OH CRAP! As soon as I get home, I'm gonna run to my tent PANT PANT!!!

Yeah its rare. I actually found an unopened box of it last night in an obscure place that im sure nobody had noticed. Its for the svd and mosin i do believe.

[LordBlackwolf 656]

It sucks finding a weapon that uses it and then realizing you previously had some but dumped it because you didn't think you'd ever be able to use it.

[ebrim 998]

Found 2 boxes, 1 5rd clip, and some loose rounds and I play allot.

 

Definitely rarer than stable and I haven't seen a single mosin. 

 

The only mosin I found in this exp I gave to some stranger I ran into. Definitely not finding much 7.62x54, I think I'm carrying 13 rounds just in case.

I had a Mosin for a while, so they are definitely out there. I traded in in on a repeater, since I was having much better luck finding .357 ammo. I have since seen a few stripper clips loaded with 7.62x54, but they are few and far between.

I embraced the Pole in me and picked up a RAK until I find another Izh-18, I'll never run out of ammo for that thing, .380 is everywhere.

^{Ok fyi, on SouthEast2 0-2 way out west in the tents at the farthest to the west tents, there is a on it's side pickup near a couple tents and a truck and that is where you will find a Winchester model 70. I didn't touch it so it should still be there unless someone gets to it first. Lots of 308 ammo around so all you need is a hunting scope after that and you are rolling.  I was heading east and finally saw a Buck! I creeped up on him and the server said "You are going to be kicked off because the server is restarting" I logged and when I came back, the buck was gone..gasp. My search for military pants and a few scopes has me tearing thru my food and water.  Oh also on Southcentral 0-2 there is a IZH-18 Rifle in nw airfield, approaching from the south on the east wall, as soon as you see the hangers on your left the first guard tower along that east wall next to the hangers as you get there from the south. Also in the tents are at the north east corner in the tents next to a truck the guard tower has a chain saw. Pass and Pass. Ok so I made a bunch of fires out in the wilderness and they worked great. Cooked some chicken, overheated from hot chicken in my jacket pocket, There was no pond around to cool off in so I stripped and prayed the server wouldn't suddenly crash. Ran way over to my tent and grabbed that 762 x 54mm ammo, just in case  :-D. A great place for a tent is out in the middle of the map where there are no towns, no ponds, no houses, no loot, no one, nothing but trees and the only way anyone would even see it is if they were totally lost and fell over it.}

Next to the Winchester 70. the RAK has to be the most widely available arm. It  no longer holds the mythical unicorn status, that it once did.

 

Please tell me about the IZH-18. I've seen a few lying around, but I've grown attached to the model 70. In your opinion, what are the pros and cons of the model 18?

[xCrankx 99]

Ouch, sorry to hear about these problems. Yes there are some odd things happening in experimental right now. To get anything stuck in your hand out, start to climb a ladder and it pops out at the bottom of the ladder. I found things in inventory wouldn't move within the same bag, but you can move it to another location and then back into that bag into the different spot you wanted to pick. Lots of little buggy things just take a little finagling to get around. 

I would try that next time but if i get chased from a guy and he is 30 feet behind me its realy hard to do that. And i pressed the red x in inventory but nothing happened.

I also tried to move the weapon but i coulden´t it just stucks.

^ F2 helps me to get rid of things in hands, raise your hands. In firefight that might not be best solution

[IMT 3190]

Ever been fishing and had this happen?

 

      

 

Boots, pristine,  gotta love the devs :)

 

Was a first for me.

I was so disappointed when I got the same. Instead of the boots I caught a full M4A1 with 60 round mag in it. I wanted those damn boots! :(

 

All jokes aside, I did caught a nice pair of boots once. Wonder which items you can catch while fishing.

Pro: Wonderfully thematic hunting rifle that says, "Hey, I picked this up to shoot deer in Eastern Europe but I'll drop you too if I have to."

Cons: No magazine internal or external, ammo is currently far more rare.

For whatever reason the pro outweigh the cons for me. :) I actually found an Izh 18 and a Winchester 70 in the same house last night along with a full box of Winchester ammo.

Does the Izh-18 accept a hunting scope (have you had a chance to try yet)?

Don't appear to be any pros over any other rifle save the sporter if you have no magazine or want more stopping power per shot, same goes for trumpet. It's a cr537 that can't accept a mag, take the hunting scope, or be painted. And ammo doesn't spawn outside of military areas.

 

That said I'm still glad they put it in and it fits the theme quite well. All they need to now is move the ammo to civilian spawns and let it take an optic (and I'm 80% sure it has a weaver rail or is atleast drilled and tapped like the sporter)

 

edit: can be sawed off too so there's that..

Unfortunately, no, my 1pp character who has the scope doesn't have the 18 yet. I started a 3pp last night because I needed a fresh survival experience. Maybe I'll go back to my 1pp when I get on later and try to find the 18 with her.

I knew it could be sawn off and assumed from description it would take the scope. Interesting.

That's a big plus! How many inventory slots does the shorty version take? Is it smaller than a MP5, for instance?

My guess 4x1 like the sawed off izh-43. Perfect for that bottom row in your pack.

Tip: 7.62x39 is spawning outside of military areas.  You can find it in industrial areas on the outside steps of small buildings at vehicle entryways and HMMWV wrecks.  These small buildings are all over the map at BOTH military, shipping ports and industrial sites, the HMMWV's are not nearly as easy to find but they are out there.  It isn't at all of them but I have found rounds at several such sites along with magazines for both the AKM and the AK-74.  I don't even go to military areas anymore for any reason.

Are pumpkin seeds bugged or damaged ones can't be planted?

Confirmed ... the small buildings that can not be entered, but items spawn on the porch. That's where I've seen the stripper clips.

I did quite a bit of pumpkin farming yesterday, with no problems. I don't remember the condition of the seeds, however.

 

You can get away without using fertilizer, but water is required.

Hmm I've now worn seeds bag and still no option to plant. There isn't any number so it's out of seeds?

 

Empty the pack... sometimes things are just hard lol

I haven't checked but I would be very surprised if it wasn't the same as the sawed-off Mosin and the double barrel shotgun at 1 row and 4 columns. The real question is how much space will the new vz skorpian take up that we got a picture of......

I can't remember the exact wording of the prompts, but the process goes something like this:

 

a) Dig the overall planting area / grid.

b Did a hole for each individual seed.

c) Add fertilizer to each individual hole (optional).

d) Plant seed.

e) Water seed.

f) You should see sprouts in 4-5 minutes.

g) After the fruit is fully developed, you'll get a prompt to pick it.

Empty the seed pack into your inventory and the packet will be gone and you will have a pile of actually seeds, put those in your hand to plant.
