Weapons and vehicles!

Recommended Posts

I've been noticing more and more that the easier weapons to find, like the Winchester and the Lee Enfield pack ALOT more power then the rarer weapons to fine such as AK's, M4,M16 etc.

Not even the other day I was sneaking around and came across a guy camping inside of a firestation with a CZ. I got up there pretty much touching him and fired around 15 bullets of my AK74 into his chest on full auto and he still had the time to do a 180 and fire his sniper hitting him causing me to bleed a little.

Weapons like the m16 and m4 take 2 shots to kill a zombie, making you use the little ammo you have more wisely. But when it comes down to the easier weapons you can just go crazy and still find 8 mags in the next house.

I can't really see the risk of going up north and trying to fine the rarer weapons with the rarer ammo if you could just stay south and find these far more powerful weapons and alot more ammo. Anyone agree?

Oh and the vehicle thing.

I think it could be a good idea if you could get parts out of wreaked vehicles you find laying around. ^^

The military weapons are alright, but then you wouldn't want them to be super powerful. It's just an option. My AK kills zombies fine. Also, military weapons seem to be much more effective against players than civilian weapons. Most of up north is also safer than down south, with the possible exception of the Sobors and the airfield.

And I'd say the guy turning around and killing you had more to do with server and latency issues than anything else.

I agree... Lee Enfield is just epic. But only downside is the Noise it makes..

Too much noise for zombie hunting but when it comes to people, you want it by your side.

It has no scope so you can get close to the target and not have trouble aiming. While when it comes to long range its also amazing , ofc the only limitation is the thicknes of muzzle ( not sure how its called) basiclly if the target is too far away you wont be able to shot it coz your muzzel will cover him .

Best practice is to go up the hills and shoot zombies , to see how the aiming system works

That or you can try it in the armoury, like I did. I just wish you could choose which challenge you got. I prefer the ones like hunting, the range and the killhouse, to the more missiony ones.
