Lee Enfield aka Dinner Bell in action - SS

[facet 66]

Hi

I just started my game in Prigorodki. In barn and on farm I found axe, Lee Enfield with 7 magazines. After first shot from this Dinner Bell/Lee.E all zombies form Prigorodki, and I'm sure form whole Chernarus attacking me! ;D

I did 72 zombie kills in maybe 2 minutes...

Lee Enfield power is cool, but still too noisy a little...

They've nerfed the sound a bit now so doesn't sound quite as impressive.

It's no longer the dinner bell. Get it.

It's a massacre and everybody is invited!

You have a point. We refuelled up in SS and had to take out a few.

A few turned into a lot. If it is what the devs had in mind then it worked, because refuelling was a right pain in the arse.

This is true. Any non-silenced weapon is now a DInner Bell. Fired a pistol in novy, pulled damn near every zed from it + stary. The hearing "fix" gave every zed the ability to hear a mouse's fart. I now refuse to fire any weapon in town other than a SD-loaded rifle/pistol.

The combination of the anocrym for screenshot and the way the Zed on the top of the stairs is holding his arm is kinda funny.

Best gun in the game IMHO.

I think this is caused by something wacky with the zombie spawn code, causing it to almost instantly respawn zombies that are not even dead yet - just aggroed and moved from their usual patrol. So the first pack is heading for you, replacements appear and you shoot one - and the replacement set also aggroes. You shoot it and the replacement for that also aggroes and... things get really hairy really fast. I've died a couple of times from completely "simple" situations because I decided to off a zombie rather than crawl past. Learned my lesson and these days with pistols being so weak to begin with, I just generally crawl past them all... shooting = bad idea.

True, true. But Lee Enfield is still Big Ben Dinner Bell, where other weapons just dinner bell like this:

And I found nice MK48 Mod 0 on dead survivor. Another nice zombie attractor :) Around his body was over 20 zombies bodies and only 3 small bouldings in neighborhood.

Proves that the respawns are somewhat aggressive - there really shouldn't be that many zombies at once, except that they just keep coming if you aggro a few. Not sure if it is a bug or if Rocket is being slightly evil... I guess I would bet on "evil change to make infected more terrifying". If so, it is working - I wouldn't dare to shoot any unless absolutely needed (and even then I plan on making a run for it shortly afterwards)

I think, zombies aggression and health now is connected with problems after ARMA2/dayz update. PIstols now useless. I started shot only because I was bleeding and can't use my bandages. Now only way to survive when shots, go closest buildng and camp in door. Or shot where few zombies just.

I started dayz maybe 2 weeks ago and zombies agression and weapons damage was very good, balanced. Pistols was my fav. weapon, now Im not using it mostly, but Hatchet/axe. Now is see dayz going wrong direction if will be still like this. And watches and Coke very popular last dayz I see.
