Remove high-end weapons

[Avean (DayZ) 31]

What are the odds of finding weapons like .50 calibre rifles and guns with thermal sights and M4A1 rifle with silencer when you start out as a survivor with nothing ?

I think this game should stick with shotguns and simple rifles, like hunting rifles and make them alot more rare. That means people will start cooperate more since we need each others help. Its too easy to find ammo and weapons right now.

Also giving us access to high end weapons only leads to war and fights basicly. Keep the game simple and real.

Aww Did someone get killed by an asswhole sniper while looking through cherno? High end weapons make the game more interesting, Because if this ever happened in real life people will be raiding military stations and they will have guns like this.

Lol? Maybe you should re-read what you just posted bros.

Clearly we should just take all weapons out period. Keep it simple and real. Actually lets take the zombies out too. We can replace the weapons with bongos and tambourines.

PS. The odds of finding a .50 cal rifle and guns with thermal sights are exactly the same for everyone. The guys with those guns started out the same way you did, they just worked their way through it instead of crying about it. Maybe you're playing the wrong game? DZ isn't for everybody.

War and fights are fun! and the m4a1 SD isn't that rare and most of the .50cals are hacked.... Hopefully battle eye will pull their finger oout and do something! lol

Theres nothing wrong with having high-end stuff. It's the fact that people are duping it that is the problem. When ammo and high-end equipment become as rare as they should be there will be no issues.

[outlawxxable 10]

I agree! completely OP!

[BunnyHillPro 111]

lol shut the fuck up and learn how to play. It takes time, steep learning curve... cooperating to kill zombies is boring as shit.

Hey, OP, Umad bro?

Not true. My first murder was with a hatchet. I've also had many with the 1911 and revolver.

[Josh225 129]

No high end items, no late game goal.

[Element47 2480]

epic lewt is must-have, because reasons. but rarity is key. what i would like to see reduced is the ridiculously high amount of ammo in the game. 5 minutes after spawning on the beach you have maybe one soda, but a backpack full of ammunition.

game needs more melee weapons though.

I don't think we should get rid of high end weapons. I do think we should get rid of any rifle that is a 1-hit kill anywhere on the body other than the head. Sometimes you need to sacrifice realism for gameplay, and 1-hit kill non-headshots are really bad for gameplay.

The only problem with the high-end weaponry is the duplication bugs. Without the bugs and the hacks/scripts, they'd be far rarer and more meaningful.

this, many many times already. its the only problem with high end gear

[Avean (DayZ) 31]

It would make it more interessting and difficult to survive if weapons were more rare or ammo for that matter.

Right now i have L85, M107, M4A1 CCO SD, DMR and alot more. Do i need these weapons ? Hell no.

Going into a big city to get supplies is not a problem, i can just kill every zombie in the city and stock up on ammo again fast.

If not remove high-end weapons, make em alot more rare, make ammo even more rare. Make it harder ..... Thats my point.

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

Cool, then were all agreed. Nice one.

[MikeTupper 68]

they should keep those weapons, but i agree to make them much more rare. As it stands, i can get an assault rifle within ten minutes of spawn, which is ridiculous.

.

That would be cool maybe. They should make a mod like this, the players have only bongos and tambourines, dancing together and throwing colored smoke grenades..

Besides, i also would like to see high end weapons/sniper rifles reduced.. maybe only 1 or 2 per map

you think normal civilians would be able know how to use thermal scopes on a sniper and be able to snipe from miles away? lol you're a joke. get at me once you've shot something over a mile away

So you think war would end if there was an apocolypse?

[Element47 2480]

only if we can finally harvest the 'shrooms.. (for medical purposes of course)

Any posts mentioning crying should be replaced with this:

Nothing of value would be lost.

i think pretty much all weapons should one hit kill/KO if you hit the body mass or the head. Arms or legs fine, you could survive that some. You have no idea how frustrating it can be if you develop enough skill to shoot someone when theyre running full speed from 600m and they respond by instantly logging out or running into cover with no reduced capability whatsoever, bandage up and log. It would make your experience safer to have less long range rifles sure, but i dont think the game needs to reward people who arent careful or observant in the game.

However, most the 50cal rifles are bullshitted into the game by hackers or cheaters. The cool part is that they're pretty horrible at using them (protip: most hackers hack cause they can't do any good at the game otherwhise) and every time i've encountered one it was pretty easy to come out on top with the CZ. Just be careful and pay attention to your surroundings.
