Huntersaurus 2 Posted July 31, 2012 GearI was on Dayz today and realized no new Gear or weapons have been added for a wee while, So just pondering my thoughts and maybe it would be possible too add some Military webbing too hold ammo instead of having too use the backpack or inventory too Hold Ammunition (A bit like an extra bag).Body Armour? Maybe have some military ceramic combat vests too help when in PvP? Obviously you wont start with any of the gear I have mentioned but it would be some more 'Quest objectives' for people wanting too gear up their character.WeaponsWhen thinking about weapons I know that Dayz has the L85 with the 'god' scope. I was thinking how about the standard British Army L85a2 with SUSAT? I think it would be an amazing addition too the game as the L85 is an iconic weapon of Britain (even though its made by H&k now but shh its a secret ;) ).The G36 family possibly? As the map of Chernas is taken from Germany I thought how about some good old German iconic weapons, the G36 popped into my noggin :)Last but not least the British Army L96a1 I think this is an awesome looking sniper rifle ( alot better than the American m24 ) Its just got the boss Caliber and the Boss look and combined with the Ghillie Suit, I think it would look amazing.These are only suggestions, if you don't mind no trolling, only suggesting something too make the game more funCheersHunter.p.s I am up for a conversation about Idea's!! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) I'm all up for more gear being added, I'm not sure about more military grade stuff though. The actual list of available weapons they could pluck straight from Arma is endless. As it stand they've said that they're not concentrating on adding content for the moment. I wouldn't be surprised if the final product has the things mentioned above and more. For now they're just ironing out bugs.I love the idea of body armour but it worries me that it might unbalance the game further where we'll end up with the top end guys (NVG's, thermal scopes, Body armour) having no competition once they (we) reach that point. For now I like the fact that a dude with a shotgun can still have a (barely) fighting chance if he plays his card right.

Jemoeder 51 Posted July 31, 2012 to many guns will make hackers more invisible =/ they need to take care of most of the hackers en get a better cheat engine till then i say add maybe 1-2 weapons SLOWLY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enforcer1975 1111 Posted July 31, 2012 How about playing another mod instead of DayZ? You already have them there and don't have to ask for it. And we are not the military. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nichols 13 Posted July 31, 2012 One type of gear I would like to see added is camo netting. With the advent of helos flying around ingame it is easy to have vehicles spotted and tent locations spotted and therefore the larger groups that have started controlling servers (at least the ones I have been on) will continue to grab all the vehicles and move them up north or out west on the maps and they generally have a monopoly on the best ingame storage units.So Camo Netting is my suggestion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like it friend very good suggestion :)! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The thing I love about Arma & Day Z is that even if your carrying high-grade stuff it still only takes a couple of shots to put someone down. It means players are measured by their levels of skill rather than the size of their gun.I'm just having a quick think about what weapons/gear I'd like to see added (I'm eating my lunch) then I'll let you know.

Huntersaurus 2 Posted July 31, 2012 Wrong. Its based on Czech Republic, the country I live in. I'd suggest vz.58, czech modification of AK.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vz._58Ah my apologies friend, I was reading a post here the other day and I must of misread, the weapon itself has it got a bigger magazine?

krtshv 362 Posted July 31, 2012 Game-wise, Chernarus is a Russian place, thus Russian weapons are more likely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Huntersaurus 2 Posted July 31, 2012 Indeed Krtshv, hmm what about the vss? they are russian snipers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy McNulty 98 Posted July 31, 2012 Ah my apologies friend, I was reading a post here the other day and I must of misread, the weapon itself has it got a bigger magazine?Im not some gun expert, but Vz.58 is standard service rifle of Czech military, it has good accuracy and its reliable. It looks almost same as AKM, and reliability isnt plus in dayZ since guns dont jam or something. But I'd love to see it ingame. But thats because I'm czech I guess.

hombrecz 832 Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) Wrong. Its based on Czech Republic, the country I live in. I'd suggest vz.58, czech modification of AK.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vz._58Hey man don't want to spoil your beans but I believe you got it wrong and Sa vz.58 is NOT modification of AK but rather evolution of older Model 52 rifle.Funny thing is that even the wikipedia article you have listed says so :The vz. 58 externally resembles the Soviet AK-47 but is internally a substantially different design based on a short-stroke gas piston, which shares no parts with the Kalashnikov designEdit: I felt the need to correct you because saying that Sa vz.58 is modification of the AK is disrespectfull to our Czech engineer who made vz.58.

It was awesome in STALKER series and bad company 2.Too bad no one would want it..."Wah Bandits don't need another sniper! What It silenced too? No way you player killing newb!"...When most don't even realize the engagement range off the VSS is extremely short...You'd almost be better of using a M4A1 CCO SD...But noobs will be noobs...
