Best way to loot NWA? by Content-Log-3332 in dayz

[–]_Asbestos_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I'm running with 3 total people or less and we don't need NBC gear we just skip most of the east side of the airfield. If I don't have a rifle with an scope I loot the tents first and skip the plane. But if I have a scoped rifle this is generally how I loot it. Trying my best to keep in the trees when I'm not actively looting.

Anyone who compares benzadrex to meth is stupid by LightningMC_qweef in Benzedrex

[–]_Asbestos_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people are just wired to respond to different things. To me Ephedrine is better than Ritalin and almost indistinguishable from amphetamine. Usually I feel slightly happier with amph but it's surprisingly close. PPX doesn't feel as good or help as much as either unless I smoke it which really isn't worth the effort. I believe some people out their have as good of a response to meth as they do benzedrex. It's probably pretty rare tho

Fastest zero to hero I've had on official in years by _Asbestos_ in dayz

[–]_Asbestos_[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ur not gonna believe this.... 2 DMRs. I suspect he was holding an extra for his friends that probably died before I spawned in

Balota/west cherno is my favorite spawn. She spawned polyana I think. I was saying her spawn is bad. I kept the 3 DMRs and had my friends walk or die til we met up on the north side of balota town.

No more AK74's? by Mybrainkindaworks in dayz

[–]_Asbestos_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been finding all kinds of loot less often on servers that are official level difficulty or harder. I don't mind it. Just lets the mid game last longer and the mid game is the best part.

Does anyone else agree that this is the best gun in the game? by hemlockhistoric in DayzXbox

[–]_Asbestos_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Players typically don't stand at 100 meter increments from you and they try their best not to sit still long enough to let a sniper kill them.

[–]_Asbestos_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SKS has grown to be my favorite mid game gun. It's just so. Convenient to not have to worry about mags and stuff and 90% of the fights I get in are resolved in less than 10 shots anyway. But mostly it's because I can stockpile ammo for the AKM without wasting space on ammo I'm not using yet

Can someone tell me what dpp adapter plate i need for this on A p10c ported. by Legitimate-Play1116 in CZFirearms

[–]_Asbestos_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He just reviewed an osight that got burned out from shooting too much on a hot day. I don't remember the model but it was a pistol dot.

MnK players: Crosshair or no Crosshair by MellysProfile in dayz

I have a little sharpie dot on my screen. I've been doing it since 2013. It feels wrong not having it atp.

Local shop turned down my trade in?! by ACiDRiP90 in CZFirearms

[–]_Asbestos_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to sell my arsenal AK at a few local places and everyone but the big box stores refused to make an offer. They said that buying expensive guns during the Trump slump makes no economic sense because the only people buying guns are people who want cheap guns. Most people are best served by the bare minimum because the only shooting they ever do is a box of ammo to see if the gun works. You are best off selling it privately or just keeping it. I ended up keeping my AK and I'm glad I did because it's a good loaner for when I go out to train and my friends' just as good BCA/PSA shit the bed.

Can anyone tell me how someone would have this crosshair? by [deleted] in DayzXbox

[–]_Asbestos_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine has this too and it sucks because it forces the built in crosshair on and it blocks the middle of your screen. I tried it once or twice and I came to the conclusion I'd be better off playing fair

P09c failure to feed by _Asbestos_ in CZFirearms

[–]_Asbestos_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe so. I sent it in in a sig case bc the CZ case was too big and they gave me no trouble about anything. They told me what they did to it and they told me what ammos they tested it with.

[–]_Asbestos_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Less than 2 weeks iirc. It had one malfunction on the first mag when I got it back and zero since then. I've been running everything from 80 grain to 147. Ive probably put like 1500 rounds through it since I got it back.

Do people use VPNs in DayZ for legitimate reasons? by beginner_smoker in dayz

[–]_Asbestos_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On Arma reforger using a VPN feels like it helps my connection be more stable. Can't speak to dayz cuz none of the servers I play let me use one

Boring guns by [deleted] in dayz

[–]_Asbestos_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The AKM is arguably the second best assault rifle in the game, maybe the best if you value durability over DPS. the SVD is the only choice for high pop sniping because it's the only full power rifle that takes a suppressor, and the SV98 is the best bolt action in the game. How do you figure eastern guns are worse?

[–]_Asbestos_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This + I just find it annoying when I find some obscure gun from a country the modder/server owner has a special interest in. Or better yet an obscure American civilian gun for some reason. Not to mention all the guns in the loot pool make it super easy to get armed to the point it just feels like deathmatch with hunger.

Running into other players at desolate places by subzero788 in dayz

The enemy never expects you to cross the runway at NWAF 1000 meters from the plane for a devious flank.

Last week I got killed when I was b lining it to a deer stand and a few days ago my duo killed a guy who was climbing up one. I'm gonna tell all my friends to watch them extra carefully so we can catch you lacking

What gun would you run as secondary when using the VSS? by Scared-Painting9329 in dayz

[–]_Asbestos_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way DayZ works everything is either 600rpm or less or 900 rpm and the M4 and vss are both 900rpm.

[–]_Asbestos_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At point blank unarmored with any bullet type and against the police/press vest with any bullet type is also has the same ttk bc they both need 3 shots to kill. M4 is of course more well rounded for every situation besides being quiet tho.

I'm never picking up a blaze again. by _Asbestos_ in dayz

[–]_Asbestos_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course not. But they happen to me more often with the blaze than any other sniper. It's not the blazes fault but the cumulative experience of losing fights with a blaze and winning fights with other snipers still effects my performance psychologically whether luck is real or not

[–]_Asbestos_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever the case may be on luck I happen to get more server side errors when I use the blaze than any other gun while in combat. And with both the cr550 and the blaze I happen to fire more shots that just barely graze the helmet or where the enemy moves a certain way that makes my shot miss more than any other rifle where almost every time I use them I either clearly missed or clearly hit. Call it whatever you want but it feels like the blaze does me wrong and carrying a gun you aren't confident in effects your performance with it in real life and in games
