Weapons

DayZ has a wide variety of weapons available to find. They can generally be divided into three tiers: common, military, and rare.

Common weapons are found in all areas of Chernarus in residential, industrial, and farm buildings. They will almost always be the first type of weapon a player obtains, as the dangers associated with the higher tiers of weapons make it very difficult to safely acquire one without the ability to defend yourself.

Military weapons come from Deer Stands, military camps, and airfields. Military weapons generally have larger clips and do more damage, either through higher rate of fire or higher bullet damage compared to common weapons. Many also include optical sights for improved aiming ability.

Rare weapons only spawn in random Helicopter Crashes. Some of these weapons use ammo only available from crashes, so their usefulness can be somewhat limited due to the scarcity of available ammo.

Weapon dmg is count this way.....
AKM = 9 DMG

So.......9^ (9 x 9) = 81
And now You ALWAYS multiple scoore by 55.55 and You have gun dmg.
Few examples now...

For AKM/M1911/Revolver it look like that:
(9 x 9) x 55.55= 4499.55 dmg/per hit

For Lee enfield it look like that:
(15 x15) x 55.55 = 12498 dmg/per hit

For Mp5/Mp5SD/Bison/M9/PDW/G17 it look like that:
(5x5) x 55.55 = 1388 dmg/per hit

CZ550/DMR/FN FAL/M14 AIM
(12 x12) x 55.55 = 7999 dmg/per hit

AK74/AKS - 74 Kobra/M4A1
(8 x 8) x 55.55 = 3555 dmg/per hit

Headshot = always one hit

I hope this is helpfull :)

I found an svd camo in a barracks, so it isn't only found in heli crashes.

A good addition to all weapons pages would be the firing range of each weapon.

A few days ago I found a camp in the forests. There were 6 tends with all kinds of things.
I found:
-6 x AS50 with at least 30 clips
-7 x m107
-3 x L85
-5 x Ghillie Suit
-10 x Range Finder
-3 x NV Goggles

I'm glad that some people place their camp behind a house where anyone can see it.
I would like to thank the owner of this camp.

Damage numbers go into an exponential formula, not linear. So those numbers still work, 5^2 + 5^2 = 50, 9^2 = 81.

I found the ER7 RFW on Namalsk in the Bunker in Object AII. It is SOOOOO Epic it looks like an Alien Gun und sounds relly coool. The Ammo is very rare for that gun.

Both "original" damage and the final blood damage should be displayed. Then everyone can be happy.

L85A2 ACOG GL *Namaalsk*

If you hit numpad "/", you'll change sights from the acog to a *rather nice* red dot sight. :)

@Tmx

Anything not on this list is a hacked item.

@Techercizer

do the math, 5^2 x 55.55= 1388.75. thats 3~4 shots with a zombie having roughly 4.4k blood
but m1911 is 9^2 x 55.55= 4499.55. More than enough to kill a zombie

SatiX, you are the greatest person to have walked the earth.... thanks for the correction, and I hope everyone else finds your post as useful as I did!

Wait, then isn't the real damage of those rounds 25 instead of 5? I feel that would be a lot easier to understand. Additionally, does this mean the minimum damage to kill a zombie is between 64 and 75?

Thanks for clearing this up.

When clicking on one of the table of contents above, the logo hides the first couple of items in the list.

one nice thing that could be added would be the sounds of each gun, and the sound at different distances.

Edit: and the types of ammo for the M203 luncher

Someone add the L85A2 ACOG GL to this list and tag it as Namalsk... the page is there but the link can only be gotten to using Google... :)

A few G36 variants have recently been found on the server I regularly play on, but I've been able to find no info about it. The server admin says he didn't spawn them, nor did he add them to the game's database. So can anyone else confirm finding a G36 variant on other servers?

Also, in that screenshot depicting all the DayZ weapons, there is a VSS on the table in front of the guy looking at all the guns... why isn't that weapon in game? I love that rifle!
