E.J. 16 Posted September 15, 2015 Ye silencers give an enormous tactical advantage and I strongly believe they will be toned down in availability soon enough. Right now its just a fest of loot cyclers and duping is always prevalent. You can pretty much count on tons of m4s being in circulation once a patch has been live for a couple weeks. Was especially obvious in i.e. 54 where EVERYONE had either AKM or M4 or in the coastal warfare patch where you could find 10 m4s every city.What? I know there were ak74s galore, but m4 didn't spawn coastally. If you were finding them, it was definitely dropped duped items. In fact, I've almost 700 hours playtime, and have yet to see one in-game. Although, I'm sure I been killed with one once or twice before.

Blackheart 5.56 56 Posted September 15, 2015 Does it seem like high end loot is spawning at higher rates after the update (or was it just I was one of those poor saps who was playing on a private server that didn't spawn much at all)? I'm playing on a low pop private server and got on right after the update. Had almost all my good stuff stashed in car and civilian tents, barrels and backpacks on the ground, oh and in truck cargo as well. Had a trumpet on my guy and some .22 ammo lol. Anyway found a pristine AUG within probably 30 min, and several 30 and 40 round mags, also M4 mags, which I have hardly ever seen in hundreds of hours. Also found an AK74 and mags and some AK mags but still no AKM. So for me at least it seemed things were spawning more, but it may have just been the reset and loot fresh spawning. Gonna get on now and see what it looks like. Need tents and barrels for the camp, can't be living like a savage, apocalypse or not! :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(fyi - I don't look for heli crashes) 800 hours total (on two accounts) on Dayz and I have never once seen an M4. After the reset yesterday I found two coupled 30rd mags, and a damage M4 buttstock, and in the past have found ACOGs but never an M4. Never really cared either, since I prefer an AKM. Have the AUG I found yesterday but ugh. A Tavor would be nice. Not knocking convict technology but even during the apocalypse one must maintain certain standards!

The Riddler (DayZ) 410 Posted September 15, 2015 Can't wait to test out building a new camp site tonight on my server. Have been missing DayZ since work has been so crazy with all my project deadlines all ending on the 14th. Very glad to see non-crafted backpacks stay much longer than previously announced now.

Blackheart 5.56 56 Posted September 15, 2015 AKM is a bit better than 57 now isnt it? not entirely sure. Well, not for me. I had a couple of AKM's in .57 but haven't seen one yet in .58 Some people think it's better that .mil weapons are rare. I'm not one of them though. :blush: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not knocking convict technology but even during the apocalypse one must maintain certain standards!Maybe it's a personal preference but in general the M4A1 is better than an AKM. If you really want an AK you should go for an AK101. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you really want an AK you should go for an AK101.They stay for 1 hour probably, or 30 minutes. Not worth bothering. As for the AKs, depends really. The AKM was absolutely dominating pre recoil nerf. As of 58 I am not sure, didnt get to test it much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As of 58 I am not sure, didnt get to test it much.I strongly disagree, the AK-101 has more accuracy compared to the AKM. The AKM would be dominant damage wise but the accuracy prise goes to the AK-101. It's also much lighter than an AKM. As I said, it could be pure personal preference. I rather have better accuracy than damage because handling the recoil on an AKM was in my opinion ridiculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, personal preference. Have several AK's back in the states, AR's as well but for some reason I prefer my AK's just a little more. No arguing that an M4/AR has better accuracy potential than an AK, but damage wise if SHTF I would prefer to have a 7.62x39 AK, rather than a 5.56 (M4 or AK). AK sights are horrendous but with an Aimpoint I'm pretty happy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BCBasher 2465 Posted September 15, 2015 I took a little break to actually get to shoot some things playing ARMA2 with the kids, been trying to follow what happened with EXP and the hotfix but I'm a little lost. Were backpacks the problem? I don't PVP so I think I'm going to stay in Takistan until .59 EXP gives me something to do but would still like to stay in the loop.

The lack of cleanup was the problem I guess, fireplaces, backpacks, medkits, all sorts of shitty guns never got cleaned up. Now you can comfortably make a camp with barrels and tents - and ammo boxes. edit: I am going thru that fucking Hypothermia bug again.. my character got the shakes, wont go away.. been sitting next to 2 campfires for 20 minutes now, "rapidly warming up", still shaking like mad. :( Edited September 15, 2015 by jayfkay 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
