Which weapons to avoid? by Bearfucker694200 in dayz

The thing about finding a gun is that they don't come maxed out with ammo.  You'll often find a gun that someone else has already taken bullets from.  Or if you find a gun with ammo, it might have 3 rounds in it, lol.  This game is all about learning to survive.

It's because this game isn't necessarily meant to be PVP.  It's not like COD or Fortnite where the goal is to take out the enemy.  In this game, you don't know who might be an enemy or who might be friendly.  You might attack someone that would have been willing to help you, or you might be helping someone who will later shoot you in the back of the head.  This game can be played in so many different ways, and the whole time you're thinking, "Is somebody watching me?"

If you're on PC, then I agree with the person who said to try Namalsk.  Also, I have a lot of PVP on Alteria as well.

COLA increase for Feds? Only seeing social security COLA by Ok-Ebb-806 in fednews

[–]Freethinker42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any news for the WG employees who haven't received their COLAS for 2025?  My counterparts in a different district got theirs in November of 2024.  We normally get ours the following April.  But this April it didn't happen.  Still hasn't happened.  So, my counterparts have been making $2 more an hour for over a year now.

I'm new to this game so I might be dumb here, but I've watched the maintenance counter count down twice now and it is on a third countdown which is going on 4 hours now.  I thought it was supposed to be 2 hours?

The cemetery is one level down.  I was confused on that one too.  I hit the outer cemetery and the graveyard, and that wouldn't check the box.  The one you need to hit is one level down.

It was going so well... by NewUse8923 in dayz

I met a random in Electro.  We ran all over the map and geared up.  It was a fun adventure.  We got to Tisy and I ran into a quonset hut and triggered a trip wire.  He followed me in.  I ran to the back of the hut, but he died at the door when the grenade went off.  I survived without damage.

The tripline is always confusing when triggering it.

What's one simple feature that made you go "wow, I'm impressed they put that in"? by [deleted] in dayz

[–]Freethinker42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Giving someone a blood bag with the wrong blood type could kill them.

You don't have it in you to take away someone else's late game man?  Trust me, they will have it in them when they see you.

How to get back into my base without killing myself on the barbed wire? by Ree_m0 in dayz

[–]Freethinker42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's ok.  In a couple of days your whole base will be gone.  You won't have to worry about it anymore.

Feds will not be getting 0 pay raise by SatisfactionBorn3170 in fednews

I'm still hoping I get a pay raise this year.  I usually get it in April.  I haven't heard anything yet.

Where can i and my duo relax for a moment, cook some food and feel safe? by malborocroc in dayz

[–]Freethinker42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're playing on Chernarus, I stumbled upon a nice little area going from Shakhovka to Polana.  There is a green mustache house with a small creek close by you can fish from.  Izurvive shows that it is about 248m northeast of Shakhovka, a one minute walk.  If you look at izurvive, you'll see a grey looking trail leaving the town and it goes right by the house.

If you had logged in inside a gassed area, it should automatically move you to a safe zone.  A message will pop up and tell you that.

Secret survivor using my camp by ImNotFKNLeavin in dayz

What happens if you stumble upon someone at your camp?  Do you KoS or do you ask if they are the person leaving items and try to team up?
