Swordfish (DayZ) 23 Posted July 26, 2012 After getting the newest update suddenly it takes three chest shots to kill a zombie with my M1911. Is it just me or did they increase how many bullets a zombie can take before dying? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pietjan12 (DayZ) 5 Posted July 26, 2012 it isnt the zombies.. the latest arma 2 patch nerfed the pistols.. that's why this is happening Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Disgraced 1123 Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) It could be, simply because the zombies are modified animals from Arma. Has anyone gone into vanilla Arma and shot up some pigs?I think it's some kind of change in the side arm physics/ballistics.I just can't see a damned thing in the notes. The only way this could be Dayz is if there was a stealth server update. Given the near-uniformity of the reports, no way. Unless they have super heroically streamlined the server update process. So, I blame a stealth change by the folks at BI. Edited July 26, 2012 by Disgraced Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karrr 19 Posted July 26, 2012 Well hopefully they buff them in the next dayz patch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr_seacucumber 81 Posted July 26, 2012 No, from all accounts it seems they have Nerfed the Revolver and M1911 because the rifles seem to still do the same damage, but yes it is rather unbalanced at this point in time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcskill 117 Posted July 26, 2012 it isnt the zombies.. the latest arma 2 patch nerfed the pistols.. that's why this is happeningWHAT. My sexy 1911 doesn't one hit them anymore? ;_;Do you know if any secondary one or two hits zombies? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tigger (DayZ) 24 Posted July 26, 2012 .45 ACP ammo does 9mm damage, probably by accident. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ganjastar 53 Posted July 26, 2012 good change. no one took any other pistols before the patch, but now they actually might. still, i think the ammo spread needs to be balanced a bit more. m1911 and revolver ammo is still by far the most plentiful pistol ammo.

astriantis@hotmail.com 25 Posted July 26, 2012 Its actually a good change if it's not a bug. People may consider other sidearms although ammo for 1911/revolver is still way too common. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The other pistols where plenty used... except for the M9The Glock was a great pistol, good sights and flash light build in, M9SD was a nice quiet sidarm to have and I saw plenty of people enjoying the full auto of the PDW.Personally I think they where balanced just fine, except the M9 which had nothing going for it.

Swordfish (DayZ) 23 Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) The revolver also isn't one shot anymore. My friend has one and it's at least two possibly three. That was testing chest shots. Edited July 26, 2012 by Swordfish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
