hacked gun?

Recommended Posts

I found it a really good rifle, until yes i ran out of bullets, though in the very short time i had it i found it to be better suited to a hunter player myself to say the M107 and AS550. Very good scouting weapon and handy for picking off Zed's from range, wish it had been included.

Almost all the guns in the game are clones of one another statistically. As in, in terms of damage, range, etc. I don't even have to see one to guarantee you it's the same damage and (more than likely) range as a DMR. And considering the M107 and AS50 are both just flat out better versions of the DMR, I would have to say they're both better "suited to your playstyle" because they're just plain better guns in every aspect.

That said, you find an incredibly rare gun and you use it to take potshots at zombies that will just respawn by the time you run to wherever you shot them at? Look, I'm not the kind of guy to tell easy targets to waste ammo and generate noise pointlessly killing zombies but bro, come on now. You're just being stupid.

The M107 and AS50 are mentally loud... the L1553 is more like an SVD Camo but obviously louder and a good gun for "Scouting".

Yes i know the Anti-Material rifles are better weapons but not for my style of play, i would rather have a Cz550 or a SVD Camo mainly cos i find the weapons are easier to conceal...

Nope i wasted the whole 6 rounds i had for it on zombies, being i knew that 1: i wouldn't be alive long enough to use it on a player and 2: i was in the middle of nowhere so i thought "why not", just to see what it was like from 800m. Rather impressed for a non .50cal

About the AS50, from the DayZ Wiki:

"When paired with the AS50 rounds, it is similar in loudness to an Assault Rifle. M107 rounds are a bit louder, making the noise 'high', though no where near as loud as the M107 itself."

It's loudness is considered as "Moderate" much more quiet than any other sniper in fact...

Yes, that AS50 is sure useful at night.

The DMR's most effective range is within 500m as it's damage significantly drops off after that. Thus, after 500M you need to get a headshot to be sure your target won't just walk the fuck away or worse yet, flank you.

Coincidentally, the "hipfire" or green reticle range on the AS50? About 500m. So you can scope in and use your NVGs on the DMR or you could just hipfire the AS50.

Plus, that extremely niche purpose for a gun is a total game changer right? Especially when you're comparing it to a rifle with double it's range that requires 1 shot to kill instead of 3-4.

Still damn noisy! plus when you are taking cover in a bush it just looks daft seeing this massive barrel sticking out!!....

The AS50 makes about the same noise as an AK-74. Sounds about the same too, so a lot of people get them confused. The DMR is about twice that loud. And I promise no one at sniper range will be able to see your sniper rifle barrel before they see you. At anything past 300m it's just a stripe of black pixels that is completely indistinguishable from bushes and shit.

Granted, the L1553/CZ550 would be a better ROLE-PLAYING gun for someone who wants to ROLE-PLAY but then you should argue it as such, not as a statistically better gun.

Also the CZ550 is literally just a bolt action DMR with a worse scope sight. Just sayin.

I killed a guy with this the other day, we also killed his friend who had a different M249 saw, that was shorter and was camo, it also took "M249 Mags" not "M249 Belts".

The l155 is an extremely nice weapon. It's not a .50, but might as well be, it's very powerful. I killed a few zombies with it, then hid it on a zombies body.

I've been shot at by an AS50 and I can tell that the sound it makes is a very loud "BANG!", I mean it sounds like it's fired right next to you. The suppression effect is mental as well, my screen went literally orange.
