jelly Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 No, but backpacks will be turned into persistent storage as a testing ground before they add tents. New weapons on experimental: http://imgur.com/a/Qv0Ei http://imgur.com/a/MWARX http://imgur.com/a/Vc291 1911, CZ75, Ruger 10-22, suppressed Ruger .22 pistol as seen earlier. As much as I f*cking love the CZ75 I am loathe to pick it up when I remember how useless 9mm pistols were in the mod compared to the 1911. I'd rather have the FNX and its 15 rounds of .45. .45 does seem overpowered in this game vs reality, and 9mm underpowered.

OysterBarron Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 lovely new additions nice to have a variety to choose from. i did wonder why they hadn't made the backpacks persistent yet as it would be nice to have a dropped backpack hidden up somewhere to stash some gear in!

OysterBarron Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) Yeah was a hell of a game last night! i think it's safe to say that you don't do any inventory management from now on if you are over 1 meter above ground level! Here's some footage from last night probably get the rest done at some point next weekend!

Daz Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Me and Moonshield had a quick game last night. I managed to meet up with him in Berezino and we moved up north past khlem (I believe) and logged out in the woods. I gave him my last revolver and 12 rounds so at least he has something now. But we made it to the office block and noticed a zombie clawing at the ground, I went up and killed it and noticed a mosin nagant on the floor (was in the grass outside the office block) was pure luck, so now he has a rifle too. Though we found an SKS in the building but no ammo. I also found him a pristine can opener, I know Oyster or FullMetal would be dying for one of those. A clan pretty much cleared out the whole town but we got a few things and were on our way to moving towards the NE airbase eventually. Sadly I dropped ALL of my 100+ rounds of SKS ammo when FullMetal found the M4 and I gave all my 7.62 to Moon on his first life, and then all my .357 on his 2nd life. I think I might set a limit of how much I give him from now on. FullMetal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelly Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Finally back to my good old. Some people swear by full TTsKO kit and ballistic helmets, personally I've walked past a dozen of the damned things in favor of my trusty radar cap and green cargo pants. I also finally have a sawn-off shotgun for the first time. In truth, I'll probably never need it, but I just wanted it because it's badass. The M4 is the same one I've been posting screenshots of for two months now. This is the third life in which I have the same rifle. I'm starting to think every time I try something new it's the death of me. I blame my last death on that god-damn Mosin I picked up. Inventory is not as ostentatious as before, the ammo box isn't even full; I just realized I've forgotten to pick up gloves. Wow, that looks dumb..

Daz Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I managed to spot some TTsKO pants for Moon on his latest dude so that ain't too bad. Personally I am still wearing brown cargo trousers and a black military top as previous screens. But I really ought to get some camo, as well as swap my awful orange backpack for at least a blue or green one. I stand out like a moron. Still not sure about switching to the gasmask, I probably should and ditch the payday mask, but I love how insane I look. I also found a respirator as well (michael jackson/surgeon mask) but I am just carrying them not wearing them. I feel I am wearing a lot of stuff that is entirely useless, like the PASGT helmet I am wearing. I probably should just start going lightweight, with a smaller military backpack and either a different headgear or none at all. Usually I wouldnt wear a helmet I would just go mask only but there is something pleasing about being able to equip items that don't do anything but require no extra space. Sort of like the bayonets. I just attach them to the M4 anyway. Would love so much to be able to drop my axe and carry a second rifle on my back and just use the bayonet to insta-kill zombies instead. It would be way more handy than having to keep swapping weapons. Or at least if the combat knife was as effective as the axe. Any idea when we can get our hands on these new guns?

jelly Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 The ballistic helmet isn't useless, it protects against gunshots, I just don't feel like wearing one. As for gas masks, I wore one the first couple of weeks, but once I realized everyone did I ditched it and never went back. Bayonets, on the other hand, actually make accuracy worse. Never attach them ever. No timeline on the guns. Hopefully this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullMetal Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I want dat 1911 yo. Also a can opener would be good. Really need to pimp out my M4 and get more awesome military gear. Daz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Awesome videos oyster, I sound at least somewhat less like a retard with a clearer mic, however still terrible. I heard from FullMetal last night, he also managed to die falling down some stairs he got warped off. So that is another one gone, I really must get back to looting as my inventory is pretty bare now that I have given all my items away and people have died with them. I would probably suggest going to an office block and server hop till you find an M4 in the upstairs room. There goes that pristine can opener.

jelly Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Looking past the new guns currently on experimental, devs have postponed work on the AK74 and are instead fast-tracking archery, the AKM, and the SVD, which is great news. Ammo is already in-game for both the rifles, the AKM will fill a solid niche between the SKS and M4, and archery will be an awesome way to dispose of zombies, considering arrows will presumably be craftable and recoverable. I'm going to have a hard time choosing between the M4 and the AKM -- then again this M4 has been my lucky charm so far so I probably won't switch until I've lost this one for good. The 60-round mags are such a massive crutch in this game, once they fix those to actually be two coupled 30rd mags instead the M4 might be a less attractive option. It's basically a light machine gun now. Daz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullMetal Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Yeah that's what I tought it was initially... 2 coupled mags but it's actually a 60 round mag. (was saving up these 40 round pmag's but apparently for no 'advantage'). Ah well. Kind of find it lame they're going for archery first... AKM's/SVD's are awesome. AK/M4 would be a great dillema to choose from. And yes, f*ck this sh*t man. Walking up a stair of a big barn (the 'metal plated barns' with stairs on the outside). Suddenly I warp through the f*cking wall and fall to my death. Seriously, f*cking hell. Daz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OysterBarron Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 For me as long as you can use and store the bow inplace of the damn axe i will be happy. If it turns out to be a non inventory store able item or a replacement for your primary weapon i wont be happy! That's sh*t FM at least you have some good memory's from that character The 4th part witch i think is the best part yet!

Suddenly I warp through the f*cking wall and fall to my death. Seriously, f*cking hell. I did the exact same thing with 40 round mags in the beginning because although it looked like the coupled mags worked as if they were 60-round mags, I had too little ammo to actually try them. Once I got better at looting I began swimming in ammo so I ditched all my non-60 mags. I really hope they change this, I'd love to use matte green 40rd mags instead of these dumb shiny aluminium mags. Daz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope they change this, I'd love to use matte green 40rd mags instead of these dumb shiny aluminium mags. Totally true. Infact I was even surprised there were 40 round mags in the game and instantly thought F*CK YES, started storing those to buggery. Didn't even know of the 60 round mags until I saw one of your images. Totally blew my mind. Not sure why there are 10 round mags though, a bit pointless, even if you are sniping, may as well have a 20 rounder. I guess they take up less space though, but they should have done that with the 20 round mags instead of just the 10, to give a bit of an advantage. As for the new weapons, I defo think putting in some weapons that share the same caliber is much more important at this point. The issue this creates with having the new pistols and rifles is that the loot you find will now be even less likely to be the ammo you require. You might find a pistol mag but it will end up being for a gun you don't have. This is why it would be nice if they at least came with a mag, or one close by. Hard choice with the M4 or AK, but I don't like putting attachments on AK's, so M4's might be a better choice, I believe you can store more 5.56 anyway, unless they give you a 75 round drum magazine, that would be nice. We really need pistol thigh holsters though. And large military camo backpacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FullMetal Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 More backpacks, more camo backpacks, more holsters (and not only thigh holsters but also belt holsters and sh*t). Seriously this game begs in diversity of camo, gear, weapon and whatever possible goddamn items. And yes, good memories indeed. The only character thus far I had a sh*tton of fun with more people .

FullMetal Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Double post: new character. Had sh*tty spawn ('Three Valley's') and killed myself. Same spawn just more southwards. f*ck it, ran from there all the way the Elektro. Looting... starving... not finding anything decent. Camo pants, f*ckYE... 7.62's ammo 2 boxes of them. Checking dat firestation/hospital/school... nothing, some cans tho. FINALLY, in some random store, I find a mosin and a Axe. Big Ballin' engaged.

Daz Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Did anyone figure out what healthy meant? It went away once and came back after I ate. I assumed it was just that I had eaten enough food. f*ck knows. I might get on later tonight or for sure tomorrow. I should probably do some scavenging and get some loot for people. I can't keep track with who still has a decent character or not. I need to find some camo clothing too, probably should switch out my gear, Might go with the gasmask and try and ditch the orange backpack too.
