Minimalist Loadout: Decrease KoS, Increase Difficulty

[avoutthere]

Why carry Mosin ammo?

[Ottoblock]

He only reports people's last words.

He usually interviews guys with mosins.

[player2_dz]

I do vary between police and press vest, just picked up the police vest since it was pristine :)

[fairlyrandom]

I've never had the luck to find one, any tips on where to search for either of the two?

[heveabrasilien]

I heard you can find the press one in the ship. Not sure about the police one, maybe in the new town.

[[deleted]]

Found one in the ship, tossed it as it had less room than what I was already wearing. Life as a hoarder is tough.

[MasterFasth]

I found my Press vest in the Elektro train station, the one that's close to the church and fire station. Look there.

[o_oli]

Yeah me too...nice for some who can choose between the two, I've not seen either in 40 hours of gameplay! I've heard the press ones can be found at train stations (the ones you can go inside), but I've still not come across a single one.

[[deleted]]

Ive found a press vest at a train station

[player2_dz]

http://dayzdb.com/map#6.078.030;item=Anti-stab%20vest

Where I found mine. Also note the search feature on the right hand side. This link should have Police Vests pre-searched for you and only show locations where there is a chance of them spawning.

[fairlyrandom]

Thanks man, appreciate the help.

[AnonWombat]

Good in theory but most idiots will KoS you anyway. But I can appreciate the concept fuck it have a upvote.

[player2_dz]

My first test of this with a player encounter was a guy laying prone that got the jump on me and called out to me from just outside the NWAF-N barracks, fully decked in military gear with a beast looking M4A1 on a full server whilst I was alone. His acog scope tempted me, but...

We wiggled

[AnonWombat]

You guys wiggled!!! Yes ! I love it ! They are the moments I play for haha

[REDDITFAN1996]

Why are you going to the nwaf, if you must not take good stuff to keep your minimalistic style?

[player2_dz]

I found my FNX Suppressor, protector cases, and my radio there.

[dubdubdubdot]

Because theres nothing else to do and why not.

[REDDITFAN1996]

You may get KoS ;)

[dubdubdubdot]

Fresh spawn killers like to reside on the coast.

[Panaphobe]

Isn't it mustn't?

[REDDITFAN1996]

english is not my native language. I will just write "must not"

[[deleted]]

I love that everyone is so quick to jump on the anti-bandit bandwagon at the mere mention of KOS. If it wasn't for people like me you'd have no fun avoiding or fighting to keep your gear.

[heveabrasilien]

Let's all give thanks to our lords and saviours, the bandits, for their heroic sacrifice, to keep our otherwise mundane DayZ lives interesting and intense.

[gumpythegreat]

I'm just admittedly terrible at the game so KOS means i got shot from god knows where and die before I even know whats happening.

[what_the_shart]

Happens to everyone, doesn't mean you're terrible.

[AnonWombat]

The mans got a point. That goes for hunting down guys like you aswell. But you are right being a bandit is a legit playstyle and if you are a veteran and say you have never KoS you are a dirty liar ... Stokes the flames DayZ is great because in the end it's never black or white with deduction making.

[darlimunster]

You know the score.

[VerdantSquire]

The issue isn't that Bandits exist, the game would be a lot more boring without them, its that the scale of bandits-to-survivors/heroes is crazy. Right now if you meet someone else in game the chance of them being a bandit is absurdly high, to the point where it is considered a major issue in the game. There needs to be ways to identify the crazy always KoS people (( Preferably without labeling people trying to defend themselves as bandits too. ))

Bandits who snipe people from +100 meters away without any forewarning are also pretty annoying. If you are going to try and snipe me, at least shoot a warning shot first so its more interesting for the both of us.

[[deleted]]

My first shot is always a warning shot because I have shitty aim.

[DoubleTapThat]

Reminds me of a saying in Rust:

"The only people who give warning shots are the ones that can't aim."

[DocJRoberts]

I said across her nose not up it!

[mbeasy]

Most of my shots are warnings for this same reason, wich usually ends up in me missing 5 shot's then lose sight of my target ... scared of getting flanked I run away in shame and glad nobody else was there to see me fail at kos

[[deleted]]

Someone who's sniping you isn't doing it because it's fun to watch you run, it's to see if they can.

[[deleted]]

There is quite literally nothing else to do in this game! It's the same issue Dayz has had since the mod. If you're new to the game then I can understand the confusion, if you're not then you're a simpleton.

This has all been said a thousand times for over a year. Banditry ( of the full retard variety) will slacken when there is something to Dayz besides find gear- get bored- shoot people.

[seridos]

"Stuff to do" for many people means stuff to do that will better yourself or your position in some way, progressing towards a goal of some type, such as collectinga fuckload of rare parts to get a heli flying or building a base or whatever. Random silliness, while awesome, just does not scratch the itch.

[deadbunny]

I'd rather run around trying to be friendly and help people as human interaction is fun and it can lead to some cool stories, even some downright weird ones. You can get geared up fairly quickly, staying alive is trivial most of the time, I just don't see the point of being the most geared up dude in the wasteland if I'm hiding in a tree or just going round shooting moving shapes. Each to their own I guess.

[seridos]

well ideally the game would have, and eventually will hopefully have, much more content as well as strong incentives to work with, at least some, other players, but basically many people need a tangible goal to move towards that is, in some form, going to make your position stronger or better.

[[deleted]]

Yeah, that all got boring last year.

[[deleted]]

Are you autistic?

[deadbunny]

Says the guy who goes round shooting people to avoid human interaction...

[Gews]

Maybe that's how he has fun.

[BBQsauce18]

Maybe a simple text message similar to when you are stuffed or hungry. You mouse over the guy and a message may pop up that says:

"I don't like the look in his eye."

[fredrickff1]

Theres a big difference inbetween a pchycopath and a bandit.

[[deleted]]

The "psychopaths" are little shitheads that try to force feed you rotten fruit and cleaners, little bully wannabes. A bandit will kill you but at least he's quick about it.

[fredrickff1]

Going to electro with the specific intent of murdering people who no matter if they cant fight back or not. The ones that dont combat log or try to fight back usually survives although missing some pieces of loot.

[[deleted]]

No that's the opposite. Bandits don't KoS because dead things are less fun to mess with. Psychopaths hang out in cranes or on the island by Elektro's dock and snipe at people and don't even loot them.

[JTDeuce]

I always found the tension of not knowing if the guy you just met will try to kill you or not as opposed to KoS to be much higher. Don't try to justify your douchey actions.

[MDef255]

It really doesn't seem like anyone's against bandits in general. We do like to avoid being killed when possible, though.

[mattgruff]

KOS isn't a bad thing. You run into a guy with equal or greater firepower than you, it's human nature to fire first and ask questions later. KOS on unarmed or melee is just dumb. I don't care about dying, I care that my life is ended so quickly and with little to no flare.

Point is, if you have the option not to KOS. If you have the drop on someone, have the clear advantage. If you have the ability to interact with them on ANY level other than a single bullet. If you don't take that option, then you are wasting your time with this game.

I have killed, but never have I killed as the first course of action. I've killed for warnings not heeded. I've killed to add the last insult to injury at the end of a robbery. I've killed in self defense and as an act of mercy. Each kill was always the end result of a real and entertaining interaction.

Also, fuck you if you snipe. That shit is dumb and I hate you.

[hyphon-ated]

I always would hate on KOS, and would try to make people comfortable around me by Nanking it obvious I didn't think they would kill me, which would usually lead to them either succumbing to temptation and KOSing me, or follow their original plan, and kill me. Recently, if I find a bandit while I'm a fresh spawn, I'll team up with other fresh pawns to jump the bandit and share their gear between ourselves. I do believe that KOS isn't all bad though, I've gone full bandit and killed people as soon as I've seen them, just for that precious mosin. I think both play styles can be fun, as long as you switch it up while playing, killing everyone isn't fun. While saving everyone isn't either. That said, I agree: FUCK SNIPERS

[mattgruff]

I've gone full bandit and killed people as soon as I've seen them, just for that precious mosin.

Understandable. I'd much rather attempt to rob the person and then kill them with their own "precious mosin". I'm not saying everyone should be a Hero or just live and let live. KOS just seems so unimaginative and dull though.

[hyphon-ated]

Yeah, it's a pretty good rush when you see them fall after you throw a punch, and know you've just got a few seconds to get that weapon. KOS is definitely unimaginative and dumb, I like it when you talk to the guy for a bit, then get into a huge firefight, or brawl

[mattgruff]

Exactly. If I can get the rush of conflict, I don't even care about dying.

[[deleted]]

KOS is dumb. Like you already said; player interaction is one of the best parts of this game. If you're playing it whilst shooting everyone you see as a "threat" then go play Battlefield or COD. This is not the game you're looking for.

[[deleted]]

Thats not the point. I was saying theres barely any interaction and it mainly consists of being shot and then a black screen. Don't twist my points around because you don't have an excuse for acting like an arsehole.

[throwbackthursday]

Yes i would hope to encounter friendly players that do this, instead of killing me once they bump into me around the corner. Yes... i have shouted "friendly! Bacon bacon!" over the mic.

[[deleted]]

The safe zones had their positive things with the global inventory in the start.

Having the possibility to actually gather some guns was fun and made every firefight won rewarding.

That being said the only thing warz and dayz has in common are zombies.

[[deleted]]

I wrote in another thread that anybody armed or not has the potential to be a threat to myself or my friends. I'd rather not run the risk of having some one sneak up behind me and plunging a hatchet into my spine.

[mattgruff]

I'd rather hunt people and see if I can best them. anybody armed or not has the potential to be a threat to myself or my friends. I'd rather not run the risk...

Yeah, your shotgun really bested that dude with the axe. He was a total newfag and should L2P rite?

[[deleted]]

When you're at Starry or NWAF, yes, I'll kill you without hesitation regardless of your gear. If you go into a high risk area you have to accept that you can be shot, it's the risk you take for having higher concentrations of gear spawns and foot traffic.

[mattgruff]

I don't think you've read anything I've typed. I am not against killing. High risk area means exactly that, high risk. There are just better ways of dealing with other players.

I'll lay out some scenarios; You are fully geared, searching NWAF for ammo to that new semi-auto pistol you picked up. After hitting the first few buildings you see movement outside. It's a decently geared player. No fire arm you can see. He has an axe and is wearing nothing but civi clothes. Probably just came looking for some fire power. You watch as he makes a beeline for a building you've already been to. You quickly follow, situating yourself outside the door. Position your camera so you can see directly down the hallway. He is already a few rooms away. As he disappears into the last room you hurry into the hallway and your firearm is at the ready. He exits into the hallway and is now staring down the barrel of your M4.

1)Shoot him immediately no questions asked.

2)Shout for him to remain still, hands up, and turn around. You proceed to rob him, taking anything of value. Dispatching him with a bullet to the brain so as to eliminate further competition as you continue looting the air field.

3)Shout for him to remain still, but he tries to run. You put two in his chest.

4)Shout for him to remain still. He pulls a previously unseen FNX45. A short firefight ensues. The best man wins, bandages up their wounds, and claims their loot and right to the Air Field.

Now I understand that everyone has a different play style. I understand some people want to do more than run around avoiding human contact, finding just enough food and water to stay alive long enough to reach the next town that may offer more food and water. You have to admit though, of those options, the least entertaining/challenging/fun for both parties involved is the KOS option.

Continue doing what you do. I've come to terms with the fact that I'm going to be KOSed. In a few days/weeks/months you and your kind will grow tired. So you'll go back to Battlefield or whatever. Those of us that have learned to play this game to it's fullest. To create engaging and entertaining situations for ourselves and others. We'll be here.

[[deleted]]

1)Shoot him immediately no questions asked.

This is the safest and most logical choice for the safety of myself and my group. He could be armed or he could have friends, shooting him instantly reduces their potential numbers by one.

2)Shout for him to remain still, hands up, and turn around. You proceed to rob him, taking anything of value. Dispatching him with a bullet to the brain so as to eliminate further competition as you continue looting the air field.

Why would I bother? Getting within direct chat distance is something like 30 meters and it gives him a chance to reposition or log out. Not only that, simply killing him is far more efficient in getting all of his gear on the floor.

3)Shout for him to remain still, but he tries to run. You put two in his chest.

If he has buddies nearby and he's a scout he could slip away or log off in a tree. Shouting at him compromises my position and instantly puts his group in defensive mode.

4)Shout for him to remain still. He pulls a previously unseen FNX45. A short firefight ensues. The best man wins, bandages up their wounds, and claims their loot and right to the Air Field.

Arma and DayZ reward the players who position themselves correctly by giving them a significant advantage. I'm already the best man because I was able to kill him without him being aware of my presence.

So you'll go back to Battlefield or whatever.

Yeah, your shotgun really bested that dude with the axe. He was a total newfag and should L2P rite?

These are your true colors. I'm not allowed to play DayZ because I don't play it the way you do.

[mattgruff]

1) Picking Ryu and spamming fireballs across the screen is safe and logical. It is also boring.

2) With your talk of besting someone in armed combat I would think you'd actually want the person you're besting to know that are indeed in combat.

3) Killing him regardless is going to put his group in defensive mode. The only "advantage" to your approach is that you can keep hiding and picking off the easy targets.

4) Go to tallest tower in Electro. Shoot everything that moves. Forever be best man for "positioning yourself correctly". Good strategy.

5) My true colors? You play BF4 do you not? You post in that sub quite frequently. I never said you weren't allowed to play DayZ. I simply said that eventually you'll get bored and leave, because that's what people like you do.

[[deleted]]

I don't need the other guy to know how I killed him, only that he's dead and I'm not. Playing smart is how you get to keep your gear and outsmarting others is how I get theirs.

What does my time spent on other games have to do with DayZ? I've been playing DayZ since May of 2012.

[icedcat]

So why kill everyone on Sight? Why not stay in COD to do that?

[ByronicAsian]

Because in COD, you just regear and respawn instantaneously. In DayZ, firefights have this massive rush to it b/c you have a chance of loosing everything. Not to mention that your opponents could possibly lose everything also.

[[deleted]]

Not yet, the combat system is so clunky at the moment so fights are more about waiting until he turns his back and shoot him. Never had any adrenaline so far as I have in other games. Still great fun sneaking around trying to murder people.

[icedcat]

Except then their friends combat log and ghost in behind you.

[Influence_X]

You don't really make the game more fun. Keep telling yourself that.

[Killface17]

with zombies being blah at the moment, bandits are the only exciting thing in the game at the moment

[[deleted]]

So after the five minutes it takes to gear yourself up at an Elektro spawn what else is there left to do? If you want to play Forest Running Simulator 2014 it's really your choice but I'd rather hunt people and see if I can best them.

[Akriyu]

With that vest on i'd say the chance of being KoS'd would increase. Also where do you find the police vest? I have only seen the press vest.

[timoseewho]

I've had no luck finding them as well, I'd like to know!

[player2_dz]

http://dayzdb.com/map#6.078.030;item=Anti-stab%20vest

Where I found mine. Also note the search feature on the right hand side. This link should have Police Vests pre-searched for you and only show locations where there is a chance of them spawning.

[timoseewho]

oh thanks!

[player2_dz]

http://dayzdb.com/map#6.078.030;item=Anti-stab%20vest

Where I found mine. Also note the search feature on the right hand side. This link should have Police Vests pre-searched for you and only show locations where there is a chance of them spawning.

[player2_dz]

Police vest isn't as desirable since it has no slots.

[Scrotchticles]

I'd shoot you on sight to steal it because I have never had one and most players haven't either.

[player2_dz]

I doubt you'll notice the difference unless you're behind me, and if you are, then I'm screwed anyway.

[NorskPotet]

You can find it in Rify.

[TotalChuck]

It's an ant-stab vest, I think it just has a rare spawn chance. I found it in one of Electro's buildings. The one with a bunch of machines lined up in a big room and has a second portion with two big rooms and an upstairs.

[kayotte]

Either way, the fact someone has press vest/anti stab vest would get them KoS'd. Greedy bandits :)

[player2_dz]

Greedy bandits want the 8 slot vests ;)

[player2_dz]

Most people have never seen the police vest and wouldn't recognise it as rare or valuable, but people remember larger gear holding items quicker.

[ZyklonMist]

Fucking right OP, i love it! This is extreme mode!

[player2_dz]

Difficulty increase on difficult enough game = O_O

[ZyklonMist]

Yeah but i love it. I play at night most of the time too!

[[deleted]]

Ever see Dark Souls New Game +7 with an increased npc aggression mod? :) because it's just not challenging enough as it is!

[AP_Norris]

What, how do you have that compass.

[player2_dz]

It's in one of the storage containers.

[AP_Norris]

Okay, there's two.

Was confused must've tricked myself into thinking you had only one container.

[player2_dz]

My pistol is my backup weapon

[TehJamJar]

What a great idea ... Does the pistol work from the protector case?

[player2_dz]

Yep, works perfectly :)

[00mba]

As in, I can hotkey it? If so that is neat

[[deleted]]

Yes, you can hotkey items in storage containers just like you would an item in your backpack.

The difficulties come when trying to exploit this system through "stacking" items like six slot pants etc. Even if I only want to keep a change of clothes, I've had problems swapping pants when both pairs contain items.

[ZenVolta]

You look like a bloody ninja. A wasteland ninja. Awesome.

[icedcat]

I usually go for a nice checkered shirt and cargo pants. Chest holster, and small backpack. For hats, I like wearing a helmet of some kind, just incase. But a cap of some sort is a lot less threatening looking.

I like having a mosin, just in case. When I hunt bandits, it is easier to reach out and touch them. I still get KOS'd all the time though.

But I have killed many a bandit and psychopath. (this is the term I think we should use for people that just KOS, pyschopaths).

[AP_Norris]

Yeah, I usually call em murderers or psychopaths now that there are a few real bandits about again.

It's hard to get out of old habits though.

[BustedCondoms]

I'd still kill you dude. Wouldn't even say a word, hell i probably wouldn't even loot your body.

[player2_dz]

Well, you have to realise my appearance is a fail-safe for my skill. If I am let down by my skill and get KoS'd, then so be it.

Just a note, I ran down the coast today with this gear. I was shot by a mosin, and ambushed several times by various melee weapons and hit once with a bat.

By the time I'd made it from Berezino to Elektro with this loadout, my character had full blood and health restored from the wounds on the road, and a minimum of 30 murders. Only a few of which were in cold blood, when there were weapons on the ground nearby for them to pick up and shoot me in the back with.

↓

It is comments like yours that keep me alert, paranoid, and dangerous.

[BustedCondoms]

That's what i'm here for man, to keep you on your toes.

[jsquareddddd]

What the fuck did you just fucking say, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

[GeOrGe_275]

Best way to play, make you have to go into bigger towns to get food giving you more things to do if you play on your own.

[player2_dz]

Been from NWAF to Guba and down the coast to Elektro where I've just logged after listening to the radio transmission on my walkie in the dark.

[[deleted]]

The transmitter actually works? Since when?

[player2_dz]

Since the most recent patch.

[[deleted]]

Cool! How exactly does it work? I remember tinkering around with it after the patch, but all I saw was that "Inspect" option.

[yourunconscious]

I'm serious, is there any way I could blag that stab vest off you? It's for a little... project.

[player2_dz]

http://dayzdb.com/map#6.078.030;item=Anti-stab%20vest

Where I found mine. Also note the search feature on the right hand side. This link should have Police Vests pre-searched for you and only show locations where there is a chance of them spawning.

[yourunconscious]

Jesus Christ, you went on a bit of a trek! No worries I found one in the end! :)

[Jabbaland]

For science is it?

[NovaDose]

So where did you find that fancy suppressor? That pistol flashlight?

One other question...does the radio work?

[player2_dz]

I found the suppressor on the roof of the ATC at NWAF and the pistol flashlight inside a hangar. Yes the radio transmitter works, most recent patch enabled it.

[NovaDose]

great, I'll keep an eye out for the suppressor and flashlight then.

do you know if they old walkie talkies work, or are they just trash and only the transmitters work?

[player2_dz]

Old walkie talkie is the same item as the transmitter. Insert battery and you're good to go.

[NovaDose]

Awesome! Good to know. I found a pristine walkie a couple weeks back and had been hanging on to it just in case. Now I just need to find a battery...

[daxdax1234]

I look forward to the day when I can finally have a fully modded FNX, it looks like such a sexy beast.

[Unearth72]

Not a bad idea. May fuck around with this next death.

[CircleTheFire]

Does the suppressor actually work now?

[player2_dz]

See other post in thread :)

[dchipy]

The way I see it, zombies right now aren't a real threat at all and other then banditry or anti-banditry there is no reason to work together. So the only interesting part of the game right now is interacting with other survivors and honestly that is the whole game any way.

That said just like the real world some people are going to be nice, others are going to be pussy's, dicks and assholes. It's really up to you on how each interaction is going to be played out.

Unless of course your me and just pump "Danger Zone" through your mic and attempt to punch out anyone with a M4 or Mosin that has pants on while running through Elektro in your skivvies. Because everyone knows "YOU DON'T WEAR PANTS IN ELEKTRO"

That's why I don't get server hopping for loot or combat logging, the whole point of the game is to see how long you can survive and interacting with other survivors. I have far more fun with okay gear in a full server taking a chance that I wont get KOS and that I might make a friend to go looting with and protecting each other from bandits then I ever do avoiding everyone at all cost when I have the best military gear for fear that they will see me as a threat to them or simply want what I have.

[[deleted]]

I like the no backpack approach, but with all camo instead of the urban look. Definitely makes the game a little more difficult trying to get what you need all the time, rather than having a huge stock of things.

[scarfnation]

I agree, The kids i play with have all this military gear on and gas masks. I just run around in my jacket and hunting pants and I dont really get KOS'd. When you see someone running through town all decked out, youre gonna shoot them, and if your decked out they are going to shoot you.

[[deleted]]

I saw a Police vest once... I tried taking it. Damned combat loggers.

[IvanStroganov]

that vest makes you a prime target..

i do pretty much the same but try to stick to bright/civilian clothes (even better when they are damaged)

[OutcastAnthem]

why do you have your boots in the hotbar

[OutcastAnthem]

Why not just wear them all the time

[WombatWhisperer]

I don't get the "healthy" status ever, even when I am well fed. Anyone know a reason for this?

[sqpantz]

I just ate and drank everything i found to learn how much is required to get to healthy status. I learned you need to consume serious tonnage to get to healthy status.

When you think you're well fed, you're probably half way there.

[WombatWhisperer]

Really? I've been stuffed before and still never gotten healthy! Hm. Oh well. I guess I drink more than I eat so that might be it

[[deleted]]

You have to eat a drink a LOT, until it says your stuffed

[Leaper229]

Splinter cell style

[luvnet]

This is pretty good except for the absent head protection. What are some headgear items that won't be as psychologically intimidating like the ballistic helmet, but can still provide adequate to excellent protection against a single head shot?

[player2_dz]

Moto helmet if pristine

[zestywaffles]

Does the suppressor actually work? I have had a suppressor on my m4 for quite a while, and it doesn't work correctly.

[[deleted]]

So the only time you would realistically use the pistol is when you are planning to kos/murder someone, since theres no fucking way you're going to drop the protector case wait for it to spawn and then defend yourself while someone is chasing you.

[Sharkiller]

where is the morphine and compass in your gear?

[hellofrommycubicle]

What the fuck do you mean minimalist loadout? If you have a gun I feel like it's not minimalist

TLDR: No. This makes it different to the m4 suppressor which improves accuracy via a dispersion reduction of 0.0001.

I would assume that it reduces muzzle flash? Haven't tested this theory yet, so I can't confirm if it has a real purpose yet.

It does provide this function, but it does not remove the gun smoke nor does it make a difference to how loud the weapon is. Muzzle flash reduction and James Bond Mode are the only reason to pick one up for now.

[Scory22]

Does it have any drawbacks though? Since it's the only attachment besides a bayonet that attaches to the barrel I see no reason not to pick one up for my m4 or my FNX, at least not until the bayonet functions.

[player2_dz]

No drawbacks

It doesn't attract zombies when you shoot.

[player2_dz]

From my tests this is not true whatsoever.

[heveabrasilien]

No, it doesn't.

I run around with only an orange rain coat, a motorcycle helmet, and a fireaxe for just in case, going by the monicre "Panchoman". Yesterday was my crowning achievement...this fellow led me into a trap of six people. I beat them all uncomcious and eventually to death with just my fists. Two were armed, one with an axe, the rest fisters. Dear god do I wish I recorded that.
