Weapon Damage Re-upped

[weld 26]

The thing about ubiquitous, high-powered weapons (Enfield) is that they level the playing field at the cost of skill. If I can hit a guy with an Enfield while he is trying to hit me with an anti-materiel rifle, that is not unrealistic or inauthentic.

It levels the playing field. Like the ubiquitous Colt, it is the great equalizer. It allows anyone to enter that game, not just those who have happened upon the higher-tier weapons. That's the point of guns in general. Nerfing the Enfield (or any other common weapon) so that 50 cal is king makes the common man less of a threat to those who have the high-tier gear, and in my opinion this is a bad thing. I want them to feel as scared as I do. I want them to fear the noob.

Making the pistols worse at killing zeds is one thing - it is almost impossible to headshot the zeds while they are running. I dislike this in general unless the pathing/animations are smoothed out to a point where they don't zig every time my sight is on them, then zag when I reacquire.

What you kids don't realize is that DayZ didn't apply the weapon nerfs. Behemia did. Less QQ more pew pew (or go to their forums.)

Actually, everybody realizes that, it was even stated in the OP if only you had bothered to read it. Also, the company is called Bohemia, not Behemia.

Lastly, you necroed a 17 days old thread just to call everybody 'kids'.

Welcome to the forums DemonicAnahka, you'll fit right in.

I hate this new change. Literally alerted everyone in Cherno today by using 6 .45 revolver rounds into a zombie...

the way i usually know where people are is by looking at where the zombies are spawning from afar. and yeah ive been playing as a sniper with an m107, the last 3 snipers i tried to kill, i shot them and saw blood splashing (they didnt even realize where i was), but they dcd and i got no kill (its a 1 shot kill weapon). unrelated but im ranting cuz im fucking frustrated, dont even wanted their stuff cuz i have no slots left, just want the kills (nothing left to accomplish in this game).

i gave up trying to pvp with a pistol, wasting an entire clip on a guy and not killing him is a joke, not to mention doing that with an ak. starting to get bored with sniping, ill probably die soon from getting too close. kind of miss the old 1 shot lee in a close combat.
