CerebralZombie (DayZ) 151 Posted September 2, 2012 So I've noticed that all the large weapons that I've found on dead bodies seem to take your backpack off. Now, I really can't see why this is, when you can fit any of those guns into your backpack with room to spare. (If it's an Alice or a Coyote of course.) So, does that really make any sense? I would also like to know if the SVD Camo takes off your backpack when in hand? I have not taken it out of my backpack yet. x]Thanks for your time!CZ~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nyk_nunya 40 Posted September 2, 2012 A friend of mine gave me an m107 once that he had looted, if it were in the backpack, it was fine. Trying to equip the thing, took of the backpack, every time. It did this to the friend who gave it to me, and the other friend in our group at the time. They said they had heard scripted in weapons could do that, but we never verified. Put it on a zombie and buried it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xenomta 128 Posted September 2, 2012 You can hold the SVD without removing your backpack.And as far as I know, the only gun in the game that removes your bag is the Rocket Launcher. Some hacked in guns cause the backpack to disappear, that may be it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never got to use it in combat before I lost it though. =/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bazbake 456 Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) Many of the large weapons are scripted in by hackers from vanilla Arma II, and in that game you can't use them with backpacks or fit them in the backpack because they're too big. Rocket altered them for DayZ so that they would be less encumbering because a M249 SAW would be significantly less awesome if you had to give up 24 slots of equipment space in order to use it.If they're taking up your backpack slot, then they're the hacked-in original weapon from the basic game.

CerebralZombie (DayZ) 151 Posted September 2, 2012 Well the AS50 I'd found a week or so ago took off my backpack, and yesterday I found a Mk 48 mod 0 that did the same. So I will see...It's only been big guns though, as I'd obtained a M4A1 Holo from the 3 guys that had the MK, M4 Holo, and the other had a Bizon PP-19 SD, the only gun that did it was the Mk. They were on top of a roof near the fire house in the middle of Elektro to the West more in the industrial area, closer to the train station. There were 3 helicopters there. One was in perfect condition, another was badly damaged, and the third was destroyed/blown up. It was the best loot I'd ever found on the three of them, and I have every tool in the game now. I ended up keeping the M4 Holo, and traded the Mk for the SVD Camo I'd found in a different server in a tent just behind the school in Elektro. It had the same amount of clips as the Mk, although the Mk clips have way more ammo since they take 2 slots too. Time to get my sniping on. I also had never seen the ammo for the Bizon before, so I didn't want to take it to run out of it's ammo. It also does less damage than the M4 Holo, and with SD rounds I couldn't pass it up. I also never see the SVD clips anywhere, so where would I find more exactly? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just odd that it does both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jetao2008@hotmail.com 175 Posted September 2, 2012 Only hacked weapons are capable of removing your backpack (except the Rocket Launcher, that will take your backpack slot).The big weapons you refer to, like the AS50 and the M107 WON'T remove your backpack, you can use both just fine, unless they're hacked.

DubPlate 38 Posted September 4, 2012 I also never see the SVD clips anywhere, so where would I find more exactly? Ammo boxes at high value military spawns, heli crashes etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
