What do you guys think about the SVD (camo)?

[money544 1]

Just picked one up, is it any good? and any tips about how to use the weapon with great accuracy? I also have a ghillie suit to go with it.

Do want.

worse than the DMR

has a shitty range finder

ammo is found once a month

at day, its far beter then the DMR:

more dmg

higher accuracy

A RANGEFINDER opposite to none at all

if you know how to read te range of the targets, its one of the best sniper rifles against soft targets

ammo a problem? lol, not before 1.7.2.5

Ok, so the bonus in using this gun is that you do not have to carry a range finder. There is a video on youtube that you can use to learn how to sight with. The major drawback with this is that for one if you dont know where to find the ammo you're screwed but i know of several places to find it.

i like that range finder thing. (if you dont got real range finders) well ammo is uncommon though but along with a ghillie you can camo in almost all natural areas

5/10 for me

SVD camo is pretty good.

I recommend practicing with it in the Armory before using it in DayZ. There is definitely a learning curve.

If they fix the various ammo/dupe exploits I expect the SVD Camo to become mostly a collector's item, as few people will find enough ammo to make it worth carrying around.

Other than that the major reason to not use it is because there are variable zero anti-materiel rifles that kill with a hit anywhere to the body and are just as accurate. You're going to be gimping yourself vs. anybody with an as50, for instance.

I'll make it simple. It's chevrons within the reticle are extremely hard to use. The space between 300-500m and 500-700m you just have to guess... Also...hit a player from 400m...LITERALLY took 1 shot to bring him down...ok...but 3 more hits to actually get the kill

I'll never use it again!

Stick with the DMR or even the CZ550. AS50 is cool...Don't get me wrong...just seems like overkill to always carry around with you.

It has a pretty good range finder, actually, at least if you know how to use it. And ammo? Usually you get the gun from a server hopper who has hoarded tons of ammo. If you find it as a spawn, you gotta start finding heli wrecks with ammo boxes, or risk the NWAF barracks.

Anyway, if I were you, I would keep it.

I was hyped about finding one and after actually getting one.. I wasn't really that impressed.

The novelty wears off quickly and I'd happily swap it for an AS50 or an M107 given the chance.

It is at least as good as the DMR, but has no NV capability.

If you know how to use the range finder you can easily hit, i missed 1 out of 8 shots i took so far. Ranges from 400 to 800 ( 1 player, 6 Zeds, 1 cow )

I have found ammo boxes with multiple mags ( 10 each ) in them. If the tents weren't bugged i'd have 50+ by now.
