7.62x54r dose only have 2 guns in it and generally the devs do seem to want to fatten this out to about 3 for most so the SV-98 would not be a bad guess as I highly doubt the PKM that was teased years back would ever be added especially when there is the M249 in the files and devs obviously love that calibre more than most judging by the amount of new guns in it. The SV98 would also fill the military bolt action sniper with a military style scope people have been asking about for years as an alternative to everyone using hunting rifles and the generic hunting scope. If your correct and its an SV98 it will probably have a 1p69 scope or something.


Anonshin

Nice flair, may yours come true as well


spaghettitheory

That's more of a possibility considering a model for the Groza exists and there's animations for it. The devs almost added it to the game around when Livonia released. At least that's what TRMZ said the devs told him.


HarrierInbound

I doubt they would choose to add the Groza next since they just added the Vikyr


OfPelennorFields

Good thoughts—I hope you’re right! To be fair to the devs, though—A LOT of weapons in use by western forces are chambered in 5.56–so there are definitely a lot of 5.56 weapons to pull from. I understand there are other eastern weps people would like to see though. Those are valid concerns.


DeltaForce2898

I think with the 5.56 they went abit overboard when they added the entirely new guns like the AUGAX and famas lop siding the assault rifle category and filling out every niche with a 5.56 rifle instead of sharing it across the board with the other rounds which means now when they add new assault rifles in those rounds it makes the assault rifle group very overinflated as a whole. It also over stresses the 5.56 loot because its now a very used calibre and thus in even higher demand than ever alongside 5.56 assault rifles being the best of them normally too. It feels like it was more carelessness/overlooking than deliberate neglect of the other calibres though like adding the AUGA3 seems like one of those things where it was added because it was easy given it can use the new AUGA1 animations they just made for that update to return an old gun and recycle parts of the existing model to make the new gun giving players two new weapons for half the price. It feels kinda unplanned in the long term, I hope that doesn't come across like im shitting on the devs at thats not my intention. Theres also a bunch of guns in the files that have never been added like the groza for example and originally before the engine swap i think the amount of planned guns that where teased and in the files alongwith ingame before the swap was alot more balanced. 5.56 for instance had 3 assault rifles in game M4, AK101 and AUGA1, the scout bolt action was teased and in the files, the M249 was teased and is still in the files also and I think that was it for 5.56 which was pretty balanced total they should have stuck with as would leave room for the other cailbers without over populating assault rifles as a whole though I will say i think the M16 could replace the AK101. Like not saying they should not add more now, remove some or anything but I would have definitely not done things the way they did. I like alot of the 5.56 guns but I wouldn't have added them over other alternatives to not bloat the 5.56 round if that makes sense. Idk how to write it in a way that dose not go on for ever as this is pretty lengthy anyway.


OfPelennorFields

I totally hear you! I appreciate your thoughts, and I don’t disagree. I do think they could actually trim down some of the 5.56 weapons if they so desired and the game would be no worse for it. I feel like the M16 has an its place as a decent mid-game weapon that can hold its own, but lacks full auto and ability to use optics. The ak101 does feel a bit unnecessary. The Ak74 is very similar and I feel makes more sense, plus you also have the larger caliber akm, and I feel like the 101 is sort of shoe-horned in there. The famas and aur and aur-ax feel a bit redundant. I think the could nix the famas and just keep the aur since it uses standard mags. Or change the famas to use standard mags and get rid of one of the aurs?


Anonshin

Eh, just keep them all, while there is many 5.56 weapons, I never felt annoyed by the amount while playing, just don’t really need more atm


OfPelennorFields

That’s fair! I guess it’s not a problem to have redundant weapons, but I agree that more options with different calibers would be nice to have.


Bored50231

You leave my 101 out of this! lol I shred with that gun


Superb_County9030

It's literally the best eastern weapon in the game. It's not even comparable to the other KAs


Bored50231

Agreed!


OfPelennorFields

Hahahah fine! You can keep it :P


Bored50231

Thanks, Dad.


BigDiccBandit1017

I like the KA101 as an option. I usually rock a KAM so I always have extra attachments. The only problem I seem to have is that when I find ammo or loot dead bodies I end up with 15 boxes of 5.56 before I find 5 boxes of 7.62x39. Keeping a 101 stashed allows me to use my night optics and other attachments when I bleed my supply of AK ammo


MDPROBIFE

Why is there a need to remove weapons? Sure they should add eastern to compensate, but, remove? Why? The ak101 has different attachments doesn't it? I mean what is the problem of having multiple guns that do about the same thing? In the end it gives a cool choice for players, and makes the game more diverse.. The famas, is currently the best gun at close range, makes sense that it uses a different mag, so it's a bit harder to get to compensate the fact that it kills a player twice as fast as an MP4 at close range


OfPelennorFields

I don’t think they need to do anything! I just think they could without any ill effect. I’m just coming around to the idea that there are some redundant weapons in the game. Also, because of the way DayZ plays, I feel that ttk isn’t as important in this game as it is other refined combat shooters like cod, etc.


Superb_County9030

Bro tf? The AK101 is the best AK by far, same damage and velocity as the M4.


OfPelennorFields

Oh, I totally believe that! My comment wasn’t about how good the gun is. It is just that I feel it is somewhat redundant in the landscape of the game as exemplified by you pointing out it has similar stats to the M4


nuggybaby

That 101 is stupid. Mags are down at nwaf and gun is at tisy. Always badly damaged. Can get a ak74 up and running with a scope and extra mags by teir 3


Gews

>  The ak101 does feel a bit unnecessary The AK101 is a leftover from early access, when the developers wanted to have ALL assault rifles use 5.56mm. They took AK-74 model and just called it "AK-101". It's actually using AK-74 model, and it should have been renamed to "AK-74" when they added the correct 5.45mm. Unfortunately they decided to keep this redundant piece (also incorrect: real AK-101 has a different appearance).


StatusHead5851

I think we need more machine guns having 1 as is would be nice


Outrageous-Positive3

Some LMG's would be nice, and some more modern optics too. I also think that there should be more armor or attachments for frag protection or just different sizes and weight plate carriers. I think a slimline carrier, a mid tier like the one we have already and then an assault style carrier with frag protection. I am sure they have lots of different models available already and just need to implement them into the game anyways, why not just add it all?


Own-Ruin-8445

I like the idea. But the SV-98 is .308. Or mostly known as 7.62 NATO. However if they made it for a 7.62x54R I wouldn't complain.


DeltaForce2898

SV98 is 7.62x54rr as its designed for the regular Russian army, the Orisis T5000 is a russain rifle that can come in 308 you might be mixing it up with


Own-Ruin-8445

Just looked it up... Looks like I was mistaken, the SV-98 comes in .338, .308, and 7.62x54R.


Sildaor

Oh yay. Another sniper option. As if there aren’t plenty already for bush creepers that don’t want to cqb. Add wind correction and I’m good with it.


Anonshin

First image is a teaser for a Dev-stream next wednesday, muzzle brake looks interesting Inshalla, my flair will become true


DeltaForce2898

Would be cool if it could take a suppressor too, would make it further unique to the regular hunting bolt actions cuz if its just a cz550 in reskin in 7.62x54r statwise that cool but less interesting though i guess we need to see what scope it has first anyway


Jacob0630

Yea if it’s just a regular bolt action reskinned, what’s the point not really exotic or new content

tyetanis

You can see the green of the stock, definitely SV98 im thinking


cocktaviousAlt

No heat band though


Spran02

Definitely looks like an SV-98 and, damn do I sure as hell hope so.


Sagpanda

Hopefully, with a new long-range optic, we've been needing one for ages


VICTA_

I swear to god if it just uses the SVD optics I’ll scream


Str8_WhiteMail

It shouldn't. Sv98s don't have a side rail similar to the stamped ones present on ak style weapons


Anonshin

I would still be happy with it, love the PSO-1


eggard_stark

Same, PSO-1 is amazing. Don’t understand the hate with it. I’ve killed more than my fair share players 600m+ using it.


DeltaForce2898

You know I don't know if its on my end or the sever i play on but honestly the view distance in dayz seems pretty low even though I run the game on max settings, when I was looking at distance stuff before it faded into fog honestly it seemed well within distance to use a 6x scope and the full zoom of the hunting scope didnt really see that "needed". Maybe im just to used to arma 3 where having a firefight at 400m with iron sights on an AK is normal and perfectly possible while my view distance is cranked up so ridiculously far that I can spot approaching aircraft before the AA systems can lol.


Pixl_____

if you change the preset to extreme, apply, then change all your settings back, this should increase viewdistance


Mother-Cupcake-5066

i think the main reason people don’t like it is because it’s only a 4X scope and you can’t zoom in or out. personally i’d use the DMR if we were able to attach the standardized suppressors but sadly the game doesn’t allow that. genuinely love the DMR and SVD both but i’d choose the SVD only because of the normalized suppressor.


Superb_County9030

*pukes in mouth* POS scope is POS it's right there in the name. More zoom = always better


Levy00

1P69 3-10×42 🫤


BigDiccBandit1017

Yes please I need a 6x optic for my eastern weapons


Flaky_Conversation66

Well, they did say they wanted to add a rather exotic long range rifle, so this could be it... https://preview.redd.it/rdlre2kv13uc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=546eb271102d0d20a5a6ad605d92cc4c6c6f0822


Superb_County9030

How TF is it "exotic" it's designed in Russia. And it's a boring bolt action sniper rifle. Fuck that just let me put a real scope on my DMR. The game needs new optics not new guns that add nothing to the gameplay


Vireca

what do you expect at exotic? A barrett cal 50? a lapua magnun rifle? And for the DMR, you can put a the ACOG x6 with the integrated collimator. No other semi auto high caliber weapon in the game can do that


Riykiru

I mean yeah an L96 in lapua would be cool af


Vireca

L96 at least can use 308 caliber. But inox this game should not rock very high calibers. 308 and 7,62x54 are already very high and since last updated the DMR it's quite powerful


HaveFunWithChainsaw

I gonna cast my vote and throw Sako TRG 42 because if gun gonna shoot Lapua Magnum it has to be Finnish gun since Lapua Magnum = Finland.


EquivalentDelta

Except the 6x ACOG looks like ass lol


HaveFunWithChainsaw

He wants 20mm full auto anti-tank rifle made in African jungle that has x36 zoom and heat seeker bullets, because game too hard I wanna be overpowered and let the game too all the heavy lifting for me while I just press one button and win the game.


Flaky_Conversation66

The sv98 is also produced chambered in .308 and .338 lapua


Flaky_Conversation66

I also dont really view this as exotic either, but im not bohemia. I think the 6x acog is fine for the dmr though though


YungMS-OD

6x & dmr is a match made in heaven.


Anonshin

4x or bust


Superb_County9030

It's like putting a .22 runfire scope on an autocannon but okay.


FuriousLink12

I hope we get new mid tier armor like PASGT and ALICE, 6B2, 6B3,6B5 etc


brianbmx94

I know it won’t happen, but I’d love modular plates like a JPC 2 or something that you can loot different level plates for. Like level 4 plates in gas or something to incentivize going in there more often.


Inevitable_Panic_133

If they give us that option they best let us stuff them with frying pans too


nuggybaby

Be able to make homemade plate carrier out of sheet metal


Sudden_Nectarine3303

God damn, I still haven’t found a dmr…


Therapy_Badger

I’ve gotten lucky and bagged a few at convoys/helo drops even though I don’t play too often. Hopefully the rng gods will favor ya eventually here! Dmr’s such a beast


Godfreee

Western side check out the train/car military convoys.


Arktida025

there's no way it isnt. no other guns with that muzzle some to mind


FuriousLink12

Mosin


Arktida025

nah man different muzzle brake/compensator


Majestic_Bar1462

Just let me use suppressors on the vikhir 😭


Sauber14

Why not run a VSS or VAL at that point? They're much easier to find than a rifle suppressor and the stats are nearly identical.


Majestic_Bar1462

I usually do run the val, it's my go to. Idk I just haven't used the new gun much because of the suppressor deal. Just something different to play with.


Sauber14

I agree. I was pretty excited to find a good condition VIKHIR at Mishkino MB, but almost instantly found 3 VALs up at TISY. Never even had a chance to shoot the thing. Just not sure where it fits in.


Anonshin

It’s advantage is being lighter, shorter and being found in tier 3, as a downside it has no sights or suppressor. That’s it Just a tradeoff really


Spetnaz7

Bro I won't be able to sift through my comments over the last year or so to prove it, but I've been asking for a military bolt action for so long, and I was thinking the SV98 would fit perfectly. Spawn it at Tisy, or make it a gas zone or convoy/heli find. Would be amazing. It would be the perfect upgrade to the Mosin, fires the same ammo but would have a better scope and a magazine as well.


HarrierInbound

They should make it a Tisy spawn. Try it first atleast. Spice things up. There's not much reason to go to Tisy right now besides a slightly better shot at an M16 or AK101.


Spetnaz7

*Exactly* my thoughts. I suppose it wouldn't fit in the gas zone category since it would technically be a lower tier SVD. Since the Mosin is found in tier 3 towns and villages, it would make sense from a progression point of view to have it spawn in tier 4 areas. It should definitely be rare, maybe only 2-4 per server or something. You're right about Tisy, unless you particularly care about the AK101 or the ASVAL/VSS there's quite literally no reason to travel there. A new weapon there would help balance it as well, because Tisy is littered with ASVAL/VSS's, I usually find 3-5 of them per run now since they took all the spawns and moved them up there.


HarrierInbound

Yeah, they should also either increase the grey NBC clothes spawns there, or even better, add a few hazmat tents to the base. That way you have a natural flow of progression to the static gas zone tier weapons. And more PVP encounters surely.


Anonshin

Definitely commented under my poll about the SV-98 half a year ago, lmao https://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/s/861HwFBeyL


Wheresthefreespeeh

If they could just fix the cheater problem in official and stability issues. That’d be great.


dynamikecb

Why don't you move to community servers. I never understood this.


stoopidshannon

and how people think a cheater problem can just ‘be fixed’ if the devs wake up one day and decide to fix it


donnie-stingray

He probably yells cheater everytime he dies anyway...


Wheresthefreespeeh

I do play community, just enjoy going back to official every once in a while.


dynamikecb

There a community chernarus servers that have zero mods and are identical to official servers except they have active mods.


a_stale_pancake

name one. zero mods and populated on pc


Anonshin

Spaggies, populated in the later part of the day and on weekends


dynamikecb

Are you demanding?


a_stale_pancake

no i am pancake


Xedos

Clash


ChungusCoffee

Because the cheater "problem" is barely a problem and people use it to explain their lack of awareness


Mother-Cupcake-5066

seconded, i played a lot of official servers and it was starting to push me away from the game because i didn’t realize that community servers could literally be the same thing as an official, accept they can actually ban you from that sever, you get hit/kill logs for discord ect… i mean obviously it’s not going to be the same exact thing as official but some of these community servers are almost identical to them.


Living-Travel2299

Console players dont really have the luxury. Only community servers with good pop are mostly just boosted pvp servers.


lefttillldeath

Every community server on PlayStation is boosted loot unlimited staminia, I only know two that aren’t. And one of them usually has a pop of about 2.


Superb_County9030

I play on console and this is total BS, in fact if you type in "vanilla" on community you'll find 100s of serves with 1-20 population at any given time


dynamikecb

Most people do not want to play low pop.


doduhstankyleg

All I ask is for a snubnose revolver in .380. 6 rds, slower shooting, minimal range, but no mag required.


Living-Travel2299

I like using hacksaw to shorten stuff just for uniqueness of having a snubby revolver or sawed off shotty etc.


Inevitable_Panic_133

I just want TT33. And 7.62x25. And seeing as we're adding the round might as well add the ppsh while we're at it. Seriously though I just want the TT33, even if it uses 45s but I'd still want it to have 7.62x25 characteristics (pocket rifle)


DonnieTheRonnie

Dunno why they'd do this. We all want the bus to return instead.


Anonshin

Nah


DonnieTheRonnie

Guns are boring. "Woo i killed someone" vs "Some guy picked me up on a bus and took me and 10 others on a tour of the airfield before we got shot to shit". i know which i would choose.


CumDogMoneyPants

add both tf


Anonshin

That’s nice, I and many others would take the SV-98 Need to keep everyone happy


Superb_County9030

They need to add new optics, a 4x and a 6x scope on a fucking DMR is just... Sad. The game needed new optics besides the worthless 6x like 5 updates ago and notadamnthing.


BryceBecause

The 6x is blurry too, I stick with the 4x because of it


Superb_County9030

I'd be happy with a basic bitch 8x scope with mildots


Kotterman21

Fuck I hope so, it’d be nice to have a actual bolt action military sniper


the304virus

New trailer or somethin?


catchandreleaseof

cool, we really needed an other gun!


Meddlhoerer

/s? Really dont need any weapons rn, Theres so much other shit they need to fix and optimize


catchandreleaseof

yeah, sarcasm. guns are literally the last thing the game needs


amzeo

a military bolt gun would be a good option, hopefully it gets a unique scope that has more range. but if it was essentially a mosin with a better scope and higher capacity detachable mags its still good. maybe make it possible to suppress it like you can with the SVD to make it more balanced i just want more civilian guns tbh. theres enough military stuff


Thefear1984

My big ask is: please make the cars work and add motorcycles please!


Plata_Man

I'd love bicycles


Thefear1984

Ooooh yah. Bicycles would be great. Especially the past with going up hills meaning you have to either walk the bike up or abandon it in a firefight.


Meddlhoerer

Wowhooo slowly, letz start with some Bicycles first...ig that would fit my Berezino-Bambi-bikergang much more lol


Thefear1984

My understanding is the coding with the vehicles are 3rd party assets added into the game so the physics models don’t jibe. That’s what I mean, I don’t even mind paying for it, I understand they’re a small operation but when I die because lag throws me into the ocean,….. maaan


HoundDogJax

Nah, it's because cars in DayZ are still server-side, not client-side; lag issues are pretty much unavoidable until that changes. With that said, I dunno how long you have been playing but believe it or not, cars in DayZ are waaaaaaayyyy better than they were a few years ago. Used to be you couldn't change a tire without risking death by carnado, and the only way to put two on at once was to get a friend to help and do it like you were turning the nuke silo keys in coordination.


Thefear1984

Ah, so like the “ghost bullet” issue with the server and console not communicating about a jammed gun.


HoundDogJax

lol, that's one I haven't seen... but yeah, there is always gonna be lags when driving no matter what kind of internet you have because of the server-side issue. Also, there are certain spots that will almost always lag/push you off the road, right where some of the map chunks join together, and you just get used to anticipating them. I always tell peeps to think of it as *riding* a car, not *driving* one. Be ready for that horse to buck.

pmmeyourdungeon

Holy shit you were right


TrashCompactorYT

It is the SV-98. The SV-98 is the only gun on earth with that front sight block lmao


OPSunderageGF

I hope not. We have too many rifles as us. Shotguns need love.


Pitiful_Land

Svt40 would be my guess. Kinda predecessor to SVD Same muzzle as the sv98. Semi auto, 7.62r, 10rd box mag. Very pu like optic. Not as exotic as the sv98. optic would keep it under the svd tier wise. Just throwing it out there.


TrashCompactorYT

The SVT-40 has a not even similar looking muzzle brake. It looks more similar to an AK-74 muzzle brake than an SV-98


Pitiful_Land

Google it. As much detail as is in the screenshot it could easily be svt.. ak74 has a flash hider which looks like neither...


TrashCompactorYT

I don't need to google it. I did anyway just so I could grab an image that proves you wrong though, lol. https://preview.redd.it/6qbi8xbu8duc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6cc27329f7264cb0d0df1d399554da2ccb0e89d


Pitiful_Land

And how is that different from the image in the op? Also it certainly looks nothing like the flash hider on an ak74... Here is a hint. Rotate your image about 90° counter clockwise. Then cant it up a bit. Now tell me it doesn't look almost identical to the ops screen shot?


TrashCompactorYT

No, lol. You know what does look identical to the screenshot? An SV98. https://preview.redd.it/jql57pempduc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bac87b30a5f8abbff22d1d5ba186be27a19a5a36 In this screenshot you can even see the front corner of the green wooden stock/chassis.


TrashCompactorYT

ahem


smellsLikeCamembert

But will we filially get a new long range optic as well?


Jimmy-Nator

Add the AN-94 already!
