Dayz Breaking Point (Arma 3 mod)

adam98150 · 30 Dec 2014 at 20:26

Cheers guys. Played for at least an hour on Thirsk. Killed one individual, found the red tower, and also found what looks like an airfield just before the server restarted.

Still, it's mostly woods and water. Somebody mentioned a city, all I've seen is some rundown buildings, a cabin next to a tower and a couple of burning cars.

The people are nicer though. They at least acknowledge you.

Just north of the red and white tower is the main city.

Found it. Lots of loot.

Got a rifle with scope and silencer, plenty of ammo, ACP pistol (goes through multiple zombies), and a bunch of food and drink plus essentials (binos, map, compass).

Ready to kick some *** when I'm back on. The zombies are surprisingly dangerous. Entered the second story of a building and a dozen followed me inside. Thought I'd die with all the loot, luckily made it out by using a couple of clips.

Happier now.

Zombies are still broken from memory, they follow you sometimes and very rare do they attack they just turn around and walk away when close most of the time. They used to be very deadly at one stage but has not seem to have been fixed in months.

Been a while since you played then

Zombies are smarter now, they will track towards you quite quick and they hit like a SOB, 3 good hits from a zombie can have you limping and bleeding out.

You can still glitch trick zombies, get them caught in open doors and on various terrain but for the most part, if you don't have your wits about you, they can swarm you quickly.

Also you can't really push past them anymore, they are more "solid" now if that makes sense.

Good to see you're getting the hang of it now. Gets better once you know the map, the hotspots etc.

What's your class and player name?

Same as my username on here. And class wise I'm a nomad or survivalist. : )

SixTwoSix · 31 Dec 2014 at 10:02

Is there any point to being a survivalist, you can't kill anyone can you?

Survivalists are cool. You can only kill Hunters (majority of players play hunter), outlaws and traitors of any class, only the latter will give you points. You get a cool tranq gun at level 2 which also functions as a silenced acp firing pistol, you have access to nomad and ranger chat channels and strongholds.

Great fun if you like observing and picking your kills.

I'm 500 points off level 3 survivalist and 600 points off level 3 hunter, if you don't run as part of a group survivalist can give you some company, on busier servers people always want to group up, thing is, if you're playing a survivalist properly you won't want to group up

Ah ok, I played the other day on the new map and they still seemed broken, will try again later. We should team up again really.

shephga · 31 Dec 2014 at 10:27

If you're playing something other than thirsk and want another body to group with count me in.

Cool, nice to see it explained that way.

When I checked the wiki it seemed as though you just hide in bushes and get points for staying alive

I'm predominantly a NewHaven player and would be happy to group with you anytime.

Same with anyone for that matter, EU9 is my home, find me lurking Bass Island Evac base for the good loot

Hunting and skinning animals (including dogs), roaming about, killing traitors and burning bad guys caches & crates. Not a class to play if all you want to do is shoot anyone on sight. The camouflage you get is very effective too.

Would recommend if you play solo and very patient, 90% of my deaths are as a result of me being impatient and loot/weapon greedy. One of the best weapons a survivalist can get is the Remington model 7, it's easily found, has plentiful ammo which includes hollow point rounds and has one of the best bullet velocities in the game.

How can you tell if someone is a traitor?

Minstadave · 31 Dec 2014 at 15:16

Anyone on now?

SixTwoSix · 31 Dec 2014 at 15:19

Nope, mod update

Minstadave · 31 Dec 2014 at 15:22

Ah wondered where all the servers had gone.

Clothes will be bloodied and they won't have any head gear on.

FloppyPoppy · 31 Dec 2014 at 18:04

Have started to play breaking point again! Has that old arma 2 Dayz mod feel that the dayz standalone lost!

adam98150 · 31 Dec 2014 at 19:01

On now if anyone wants to play.

EU Server #6 Thirsk Summer

Was going to post a screenshot of the crazy amount of zombies in town pooling around me but won't let me. Add me "adam98150" and chat in game on the goodies channel.

Killed 3 peeps now. Had my first one-on-one half hour ago, he had a big machine gun shooting me in the water but I managed to get off a headshot with my small rifle. Can't believe he kept missing me! Plus the rifle didn't shoot the first few times, wonder if that's because of the water? Also, I could loot his body but he had nothing? Is that normal, I thought you could loot people?
