Locating the shooter

[ClasicColaTaste 0]

Hello everyone, Im pretty new to the game but have some experience. I wanted to ask for some tips on locating shooters. Ill often hear gun shots in the distance but i can never quite locate who is shooting. Now i understand fighting isnt always the best option, and looking for a fight can be suicide but this has other applications. My headset is the Tbeach x-10s so i can hear the general direction of the gun shot, but i want to know how you personally go about locating where those gun shots came from. Any links to tips would be appreciated greatly.

Very carefully. If the shot is just from someone shooting a zombie to loot a building then chances are you will be able to get close without being noticed. If the shot came from someone camping out players approaching them without knowing where they are is pretty much the last thing you want to do if you dont want to have to wake up on the beach again in 5 minutes.

If someone doesnt want to be found you wont find them either. Most people move away after firing incase players come looking. I usually move to a place where I can see where I shot from and wait for people to go looking for me.

learn to differ mach cone and gunfire itself while locating snipers... others are pretty easy to track

the best way to practise is playing arma2 deathmatches, there is enough gunfire....
