DayzDayzFanboy 1280 Posted February 6, 2019 I'm just curious, was there ever a hold breath mechanic on pc? I've watched a lot of YouTube over the years and never noticed this. The only steady scoping I've seen is when using a bipod. So I got to thinking, how realistic is it to hold breath and the sway to be completely eliminated? Maybe they should add the bipod instead and this would be a separate item you could find to attach? I find the holding breath idea a little incongruous with the game as it just doesn't seem realistic. Interested to know what other players think and interested in PC players historical knowledge of this feature. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand what the hold breath feature is designed to do. I just don't think it would completely stop sway in real life unless your an elite trained sniper maybe, as opposed to a hapless survivor. A bipod really would help though. I find it unrealistic in games like battlefield where it completely locks the scope movement. It just seems that every dayz youtuber I've seen has had to cope with sway, waiting for the right moment to shoot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aux7 234 Posted February 6, 2019 Day Z standalone has its roots in Dayz mod which was based on Arma2 Sway in computer games isnt really realistic, and Day z isnt the worst. I dont know battlefield. In real life, if you want to hit something you will control your breathing. The weapon does stop moving, you have it hard against your shoulder, the strap wrapped around your arm (weapon dependant), the main issue then to control, is not to snatch the trigger. It seems to me some gamers know the system and some dont. For the youtubers I dont know, maybe they press it just before the shot . . I dont really watch them that much The whole reason I enjoy Day z and Arma is because it is that much closer to real life, the whole bullet drop, breathing etc. Its not perfect hence the ballistics discussions you can see here.

nhow7108 159 Posted February 7, 2019 Yes you can hold breath, lean, switch shoulders and even unload ammo out of a gun that has a round chambered or a gun with an internal magazine on pc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nhow7108 159 Posted February 7, 2019 Holding your breath to steady your aim is the one thing i have been waiting for since September on xbox. It should have been there from day 1. Any long distance engagements are impractical right now. I stopped playing until it gets added. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KrAzY_KaNuK 1 Posted February 18, 2019 Hoping they use ADS and Left joystick to hold breath. Best option IMO 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
