This chapter contains the detailed description of all firearms in
DayZ Standalone. Besides the detailed description of rifles, pistols and
shotguns, you'll learn about ammo and modifications.
Short weapon
Short weapon, pistols mainly, ale used often to
eliminate zombies and other players. They take
4 slots in your equipment. You can find them mostly in:
shed, police station and military facilities. Each of them has proper ammo, so before using a particular one, try to get at least 2 clips of ammo.
After examining this table, you can say that balance of short weapon
in DayZ: Standalone is good. If so,
the choice of the best one isn't
obvious. A player who needs
pistol with big clip and not too high damage, should choose FNX45, as you can find it in various places. But sometimes you want to not make a fire noise. In such a case, it's best to choose
Amphibia S with silencer.
It's worth noticing that clips to this pistol are rarely found, so
you'll have to spend some time searching them. Some players may prefer
Magnum revolver, which deals huge damage at a short range. In such a case, remember to have 3-4 sets of bullets, as each contains 6 bullets.
Adding
a torchlight is a personal preference. As it doesn't take any
additional slots in the equipment, it's worth considering. You never
know when you may need it.
Main weapons
Finding a proper
main weapon is a crucial part of DayZ: Standalone. Each of it has
characteristic features, pros and cons. When you find one of them,
collect also a proper amount of bullets and clips.
You can carry only one main weapon, so think it through.
M4A1 as a universal assault rifle
This weapon is easily found
at airports and military bases.
It's harder to find its ammo. M4A1 is an automatic rifle, good for
attack and defense. Many add-ons and several sights help you kill other
players and zombies. It's best to have
BUIS and ACOG sights. Recoil control of this rifle isn't that simple. While fighting at short range,
fire series of 2 bullets and avoid full-automatic fire. What is more, it's good to carry CMAG and STANAG clips.
Mosin for the marksman
The second best weapon is Mosin 9130. You can find it in
almost every city.
It doesn't require any additional clip, but you should get a bipod and
compensator. But one of the most valuable in-game items is
sniper scope which
isn't easy to find (you should look in barracks and tents on the
airports). It provides zoom to kill enemies from a distance. Of course,
you can use other scope, but it has smaller zoom. The only con of this
weapon is
small capacity of the built-in clip, what forces you to reload a lot. It shouldn't be a problem though, as one hit in the chest usually kills.
Remaining weapons
If you can't find any of those two weapons, consider remaining rifles. SKS is a
semi-automatic rifle with high accuracy. Finding ammo and add-ons shouldn't be problematic. Blaze 95 is a double barrelled rifle
with small clip but high accuracy. Fact that it uses 7.62x51 mm ammo, makes it a good alternative. You can also choose Sporter 22,
which shots are almost inaudible. Something totally different is IZH-43 shotgun, which main advantage is
that you can shorten it by sawing the barrel.
Thanks to that you can keep it in backpack, what gives you additional
place for another weapon. One will be used for medium and long range
while IZH-43 is dedicated for a short range.
