2 quick questions - bear with me, I'm new

Recommended Posts

I'm asking these here because people who call themselves 'survivors' are rather useless in my experience.

1) Is there any way to counter suddenly breaking my legs and dying? I understand this often happens in tents and doorways. Happened in the middle of a fire station today. Probably due to the server spazzing out.

2) How would I best flush out a sniper in an entrenched position? Are there flashbangs in DayZ? Had this situation yesterday when we were looting the military tents in Stary. Not expecting a player was a mistake I won't make again, but how do I actually get him out of that tent he most likely was in/kill him?

Thanks.

1. Don't do things that break legs. Things that cause clipping/collisions like crawling over objects / through objects, getting in the way of doors / gates as you open/close them. And beyond that, try to take minimal damage. Pretty much every hit has a chance of breaking your legs. If you don't have morphine, sorry you're shit out of luck.

2. No.

Any actual snipers aren't going to be close enough for you to 'smoke out' and 9/10 times there is a player somewhere near high loot areas, hoping you'll walk into it. You either wait and shoot them when they move, or you rush in shooting, in either case you'll both be in danger of dieing. Otherwise just leave the area, can't be killed by a player if you aren't there.

Edit:

Smoke grenades provide cover (somewhat), and you can always throw a frag grenade if you think you know where they are. But this can destroy more than you intended and is extremely loud.

Yeah, it was more a mexican standoff with a guy with a loud and semi automatic or bolt action rifle than an actual sniper.

Thanks again.
