Precious 0 Posted August 29, 2012 Hey, I´m quite new in DayZ, but I was lucky so I just found my first sniper. Its the Cz 550, since I´m interested in being a Bandit I wanted to know if it oneshots players and if its good for banditing. I´m planning to snipe Electro or Cherno.

roflcopter127@yahoo.com 168 Posted August 29, 2012 Um, well the damage of the gun isn't the highest, but under 300m it can 1shot or usually knock out players. Above that, it will take two shots unless you hit them in the head. :[ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Friendly Bandit 137 Posted August 29, 2012 No doubt your going to Elektro to kill countless newspawns with no weapons? Woah, L33t Wikid Skillz 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RaysGoodLiquor 93 Posted August 29, 2012 It takes more than 1 body shot to kill. The biggest downfall of the CZ is the odd chevron retical for the scope. For banditing, I would probably take a Lee Enfield or Winchester over a CZ. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Precious 0 Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) I also got a M4 in my backpack for close quarters.

Woah, L33t Wikid SkillzYo bro, calm down, I never killed any newspawns, I´m not going to do that in the future, if they are not armed. I just want to get better equipment.

enforcer1975 1111 Posted August 29, 2012 Banditing needs a close range weapon otherweise it's just meaningless long distance killing ( most of the time ). Some people still think they need a rifle with a range of 1km in order to "rob" someone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JarethJams 87 Posted August 31, 2012 8k blood on one shot, Normally it takes 2. If you're lucky they get insta-capped and just follow up with another shot. Make sure you know your meter counts if not you can always play on those servers that give u the meters or find some rangefinders. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edward b 83 Posted August 31, 2012 I recommend that you practice with it first. It's hard to use without any familiarity. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
burritoman259 593 Posted August 31, 2012 if your going to pvp try getting an m24, the ammo you can craft out of dmr mags and has more of a chance to one hit,ps: what servers do you play on i might give you a challenge 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CM LEGION 29 Posted August 31, 2012 It's a decent sniper. Someone already said 8000 blood, so just shoot twice. Personally, i'd switch ASAP for any other sniper or even a long range rifle. But that's just me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

belzibhaal 21 Posted August 31, 2012 If you have played Battlefield BC2 or BF3 and know how to use the SV98, the CZ is surprisingly easy to use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Python (DayZ) 8 Posted September 1, 2012 Hello thereI like the CZ very much, used to play with M24, have got a SVD right now but the CZ is my favourite. You can find it and the ammo often and it deals a good amount of damage. Many people are complaining about the reticle, I think it is okay. But I wouldn't snipe Electro or Cherno with it, try it on a full server at places where people come along and would not expect you, around Novy Sobor Woods for example.Happy fighting!

Col. Kurtz (DayZ) 91 Posted September 1, 2012 Quote I bet you didn't expect a fresh spawn to sprint through Cherno hitting up every loot spot he could before stumbling upon your camping spot with a tent randomly placed in the doorway. I also bet you didn't expect for said fresh spawn to lean around the pillar, and shoot you in the face with the Winchester he just found. Thank you for the Coyote Backpack, NV Goggles, Rangefinder, GPS, and M4A1 CCO SD.Always me,Karhu. B)This is why you should always shoot bambies/new spawns. This mentality of ( I'm a fresh spawn so I'm harmless ) is absolute garbage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nosophoros 1 Posted September 2, 2012 Best to shoot them twice just in case, most will alt+f4 if they're not killed instantly, robbing you of your well earned rewards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corbon_hydrashock 14 Posted September 2, 2012 I like the CZ, too. What you really want is an ALICE pack to carry it in, and have it with you, while your main weapon for running around is some type of simple assault rifle (like an AKS or AKM). Keep the CZ for when you work your way over to a spot you wan to snipe from, but most certainly have a different main-line weapon to carry for going into cities or for just general running around.

Tactical_Kn1ght 7 Posted September 24, 2012 As people are constantly complaining that the cz550 sucks because it lacks any mil-dots and useage of chevron system, however the vertical lines that the cz550 has can be used to estimate the range, here is what worked for me; this is what the shoulder length of the target should take up on the scope.100m-7 vertical lines and chevron200m-2 vertical lines and chevron300m-the chevron400m-4 vertical lines500m-2 vertical lines600m-1.9 vertical lines700m-1.7 vertical lines800m-1.6 vertical linesSo if the survivor is at 200m he/she should take up the chevron and a vertical line on each side, and at 500m put him'her to the first vertical line of the left, the shoulder length should take up 2 of the vertical lines.The cz550 is my favorite sniper as it is one of the most common one to be found, with decent damage and ammo for it is plentiful and also because of the chevron scope as I like it better than mil-dots. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fuck?They are almost the same in terms of damage, RoF, magazine size, loudness and effective range, the only difference is that M24 are much harder to find, and unlike the cz550 it can't be zeroed.

In fact happened to me just now, pulled a 10m distance M24 headshot at a Ghilli snipering Balota. Blood splatter, flies, +1 on the kill counter, but no body. And I really wanted a map/gps/nvg.
