Undeadstab 0 Posted May 17, 2012 I only know 2 answers that I'm 100% sure, because I don't want to give you a wrong answer :P5. Anything you can find, depends on what your doing. I like a sniper the best, and I think it's the best if your a bandit.6. They revive downed teamates. So if your with a group their always useful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake Sigar 9 Posted May 17, 2012 1 & 2 - They appear to be randomly generated in one of several pre-determined spots much like spawning a new character. Vehicles save every time you add/remove items, (not so sure about when you get in/out) and the action menu option is a safeguard letting you know for sure that you've saved it to that spot. Refuelling requires using full Jerry cans. Jerry cans can be filled at fuelling pumps (big cylindrical structures often near gas stations).This thread can assist you with your storage questions and contains other useful information about vehicles: http://www.dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=13623 - The thread I mentioned also covers tents. I haven't noticed any problems since they were fixed.4 - You don't expect me to tell you about all my local haunts, do you? :P5 - The first question every beginner asks is "Winchester or Enfield?" The former is surprisingly quiet and has buckets of ammo. The latter has a terrible fire-rate and draws every zombie down on you within a town's radius. The CZ Hunting rifle is equally terrible in that regard, but is a prized weapon for player killing. I haven't noticed much difference between the assault rifles besides how easy or hard it is to find ammo for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(I meant the M.A.S.H by the SW airfield, not the none existent one :P) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sproge 0 Posted May 18, 2012 Does more people=more Zeds? when we are 2 people in a group we only get 3 Zeds when we are raiding deer towers, but when we are 3 we get 6 Zeds. Also, i read that the clients are the ones hosting the Zeds AI, does that mean that if i member of the group is in the US and im in Europe that the ones he's computer is hosting is going to lag for me?

Legacy (DayZ) 1091 Posted May 18, 2012 It's entirely possible that it multiplies per player nearby, which would equal out a balance but I have no idea how the system works.Clients locally usually handle the AI but I don't think so unless you're on a server extremely far away.
