mardikas 0 Posted April 28, 2012 It's 1 shot to the head. Besides it seems more realistic, when it's a post-soviet state. Makarov is a domestic weapon and more likely to be held/found, than the G17, .45 or M9. It gives more need for starters to find better weapons fast. The .45 was arguably stronger than the Enfield or Winchester. Makarov adds difficulty and almost forbids aggroing of zombies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cm. (DayZ) 28 Posted April 28, 2012 No way, it's an excellent starter, gives you a much better reason to go scavening then instantly equiping what is arguably the best (was?) pistol in the game . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
b00ce 5 Posted April 28, 2012 No way' date=' it's an excellent starter, gives you a much better reason to go scavening then instantly equiping what is arguably the best (was?) pistol in the game .[/quote']I fully agree. Kind of sucks when the "good" pistols, like the Glock and M9, you get later on suck worse than the starter magnum (Lets face it, it IS a magnum. It does more damage than a 12Ga slug). The Revolver should be something earned, not handed to you. The Makarov being the crappiest gun in the game is the best reason why you should start with it. So you are encouraged to scavenge and avoid contact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rumiac 0 Posted April 28, 2012 I'm just curious myself if the old .45 is in the loot table now. I love that thing and would really like it if I can still get one somehow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deviant (DayZ) 43 Posted April 28, 2012 Makarov is still an excellent pistol.The sights are good, 8 round mag. I hate when people make posts that are so blown up and disproportionate. :\ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mugen (DayZ) 72 Posted April 28, 2012 I'm loving the "Mak" forces me to aim for the head and is actually quite quieter.Easier for dealing with that one zombie that always surprises you or is in your way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sheppydog 0 Posted April 28, 2012 Nah I like the Makarov. gives an incentive to loot and not just shoot shit. I was using the .45 revolver more often then my winchester :\. you should earn a good weapon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
