sicknessog@gmail.com 37 Posted July 17, 2012 TL;DR, Isn't the L85 TWS removed from the game? How did we find a working one? (story below for those that like reading those, however, I'm not a great writer)Just got done picking up a friend from the NE airfield who was pinned down by a sniper, we proceeded to head back to our camp site, while along the way we spotted a heli crash. We circle around for a bit, scanning the area, we are about 300~ meters out and see zombies spawned, so we know we aren't alone. After about 30 seconds of scanning, a man in a ghillie erected from the grass and sprinted towards the tree line, I immediately put my m107's zeroing at 400 and aimed towards his center-mass, hit him dead on. Me and my friend go to loot him.He has the L85 TWS equipped .We had heard stories of this gun and its amazing scope, but never hoped to see one, especially after we had heard the tales of it being removed / if you find one it kills you on contact, however, this man seemed to live through it.So, I go back and drop all of my stuff in the UAZ, and come back to loot it. I handled the situation like it was nuclear fallout, slowly and carefully. I picked it up, waited a second, moved around some. I wasn't dead! So we hoofed it back to camp and dropped it in our tents and we are currently sitting here wondering what to do with it.Do we use it and risk logging in dead one day? Or do we let it rest there until further notice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bassist05 69 Posted July 17, 2012 It poofed for awhile on accident, then they seemed to fix what they broke and the l85 has returned. At least it popped back into my tent when i downloaded the latest patch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
