Is there a good resource for weapon damage/spread yet?

Also does holding shift reduce recoil/spread?

My best solo so far was 11 and it felt so loving good. I couldn't be mad when I died because it was my first tine at that position and I made a mistake because of that

On the topic of DayZ, the gunplay in this game is so satisfying that it feels completely unlike DayZ. The second reason is because everyone has a chance to build up a decent haul since there's plenty of places to find things. My primary gripe with DayZ was that 70% of the time I would die before finding even a single item. It wad just eternally frustrating.

I thought that was a myth...

It baffles me that this game has a bunch of guns and items that I haven't actually ever seen in game. Why is there a prohibition era Tommy gun in the lobby? Is that actually in the game?

I found an 8x scope today in a random apartment and it felt as though I was carrying the Hope diamond.

I got a 15x off a crate. The thing is bananas. Same about the Tommy gun.

Get used to using the boat and loot the crates that drop in the ocean, and you'll get to see them in no time.

I love how you can put a silencer on the semi-auto shotgun. That thing is a beast close/medium range and it gets HUGE with the silencer on it.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

The Saiga with an extended mag is a squad killer. I've killed whole squads multiple times (usually in buildings) with it, it owns.

You basically just need to put the game on a SSD and have 16+ GB of ram. I only have 8 cause my CPU fan is too big to put more in and I'm lazy and don't want to remove it and re-seat the fan. I live with the kinda lag 8 GB gives me but a SSD made an absolute 100% performance boost. Went from loading some spots after a minute or two to always having full quality buildings, with some minor lag at times.

I have a mid to low end PC and the only time I have such a hard time loading is these 2 buildings to the South West of the firing range. I can drop anywhere on the map and be fine, but if I land next to those 2, they are Nintendo 64 buildings for a good 2 minutes.

Trying to climb the solo leaderboard, not going too bad, but man sometimes the loot gods hate me. I made top 3 last night with a level 1 helmet and vest. Even the ones I tried to loot off of dead bodies were awful. Only saw 1 energy drink that entire time. Seems solo crate drops rarely get picked up, so if you see one and it doesn't have red smoke coming out of it, take a chance, you might get something fantastic.

It's just great in general; typing this while alt tabbed dead. My two buddies missed the memo and parachuted the wrong way, dropped into a squad of four and killed three in seconds and wounded the fourth with an unupgraded Saiga. With extended and ext quick mags it's absurd.

Gadzooks! I'm terrified of this little child who is going to stab me with a knife. I must wrest the knife away from his control and therefore gain the upperhand.
OK I got some basic newbie questions:

Are the weaposn hitscan or projectile? Should I lead targets basically?

Can bandages be used on teammates?

Are SMGS really as useless as they feel like on anything more than 10 meters out? if I am ironsights are my guns accurate even if when firing from the hip it has a huge spread (like smgs?) Like can I psuedo snipe with an SMG when ironing?

Also I can't tell do I have to hold f to pick up things? Sometimes it just doesn't register.

in order:
there is travel time so lead if far away
no
depends on the user but i hit people with umps pretty easily from 50 to 100m. full auto if point blank. only hip fire when close and use ADS when you can.
drag items into your inv by hitting tab to avoid the pick up animation and to verify you picked stuff up

Thanks. Does right click in the tab inventory not work reliably, drag is better?

Also is melee at all viable? I've charged dudes with pistols and its never worked, even getting the drop on them.

Yeah, they can hit dudes out to pretty long ranges, particularly with a choke. Honestly I often find myself foregoing the Saiga if I already have the pump-action with a choke on it. You can two-shot dudes out to like 50 meters with that one.

The "pro" streamers use the dragging method because it skips the bending down and picking up animation, shaving off a few milliseconds.

Melee is only really worth it against another unarmed player. Although I did punch someone to death after they whiffed their shotgun shots up close, but we had been fistfighting a while previously.

You suffer constant damage over time. At first it's rather mild and can be counteracted by snarfing a few boost items, but with each contraction the damage gets more severe, until it will kill you in a few seconds towards the end.

Okay so just so I have the sound dynamics right in my head:

If I hear a distant clap, and I hear it in both ears, does that mean the shot is travelling parallel to my current direction and the shot originated perpendicular to me? So I should be turning 90 degrees in either direction to pinpoint where it came from?

I have a bum left ear that makes positional audio harder than it should be, and whenever I hear a shot I always want to face where it centers up in both my ears, it feels disorienting otherwise.

I have a bum left ear that makes positional audio harder than it should be, and whenever I hear a shot I always want to face where it centers up in both my ears, it feels disorienting otherwise.

There are basically three sound effects related to gunfire:

-The actual gunshot, which originates directly from the shooter's position. This is probably the distant clap you're referring to. You can hear this out to a pretty long distance, unless the shooter uses a suppressor. It's crisper when you've got a direct line of sight to the shooter, and more reverb-y if there's something in the way, and has a certain delay before it reaches you depending on distance. Just face this one head-on.

-A high-pitched whirring sound when a bullet passes by you fairly closely. This one originates at a point perpendicular to the bullet's path relative to you. So like you described, the shooter is about 90° in either direction from the way this sound is coming from.

-A loud cracking sound when a bullet passes very close to you. This one also does the perpendicular thing like above. The plan is that this will only be caused by high-velocity rifle rounds, but I don't think that's implemented yet.

Most of the time you can just use the actual gunshot report to triangulate the shooter's position, and disregard the sounds from the bullets' passing. It's really only relevant if somebody's shooting at you with a suppressed weapon.

the firing range is really fun to drop on and usually ends in death but wow!

90% of early game is pro rear end parachuting and knowing which buildings have guns. I have the parachuting down, but man if I drop on like....malta power, I'm basically hosed lol

I hope the devs don't abandon ship once they've made a buck like most titles in this genre. This game is actually weirdly fun and good despite being more or less the same offering we've been getting since h1z1.

Also how much damage do headshots do in this game?

Luckily even if the devs do gently caress off, and I don't think they will, this game is already worth the $30 I paid for it.
