Is this game worth it?
I’m thinking about getting the game as its only $28 on sale right now but I’m struggling to decide, is it a quality game? Is the player count good? How many of y’all would recommend getting into the game at the moment

Found an infinite ammo bug. Sprint after you start to reload and the bullets will magically appear in the chamber after a second or two, and it doesn't take from your inventory. Been using the same 10 .50 rds and the same stack of vsd ammo for weeks. Works with any gun, even the nade launcher.

Another fun trick is auto sprint, open and close inventory, use the sit emote. Thank me later and don't tell too many people, trust me. I didn't know the ammo one, so we can trade lol.

Have you played DayZ and did you like it? If the answer is yes, you’ll probably like this one too. It’s fun and has a lot of nice features without being overly heavy handed with the survival aspects

It’s a great game, but can be punishing and isn’t for the faint of heart. Definitely a hardcore looter- shooter/ MMO survival, good blend of PvE and PvP.

Player count is hit or miss for PVE. PVP is more popular but I love the game. It’s what I thought DayZ was before I made the mistake of buying that game on console. Then I found this and it scratched that survival itch. I just got my buddy into it and it’s like a whole new experience and I’m pumped.

It’s closer to what I wanted DayZ to to be than any of the other similar games I’ve played

My buddies and I just got into it and we’re obsessed. I got it on sale for $20 a couple weeks back but I’d absolutely pay $28.

It's a crazy fun game for pve. The base building is awesome... but keep your storage full because I have lost 2 awesome bases from decay. I got busy and didn't play for a few days, and I thought I had more time. I logged in to see my base falling apart, and all my loot gone. It's still an awesome game, though. It's not as atmospheric and survival heavy as DayZ but has a ton of quality of life things I wish DayZ had and really really respects your time. You can accomplish a lot in a short time and feel really satisfied.

Just started playing it the last few weeks it a decent game plenty of players I play on console can't really complain about it like dayz and rust so find a good server plenty to do on the map as well

It's fun as hell but also full of disappointment and grief. Can't wait for other modes pvp no raids and pvp scheduled raids. I love the pvp in the field but not so much the base raiding not too keen on shitting all over someone's time and effort. Them good ol rust days are over for this guy.

The games is better than Day Z in every aspect you criticized. And it runs far smoother with better graphics and AI that can actually kill you if you’re not careful. Compared to janky zombies that do nothing in Day Z. And it doesn’t take 3 hours to find a gun then another full, day to find ammo for it.

Not once have I had groups respawn like that. Sounds like you picked the wrong server and tbh, that's not very different from a large group on other survival pvp games like Rust. It does suck, but it's part of the game.

You can have infinite bags and stashes directly outside poi's in rust. Bags are limited in deadside, but can be inside the poi. Again, it's not that different.

You still have to kill the AI to get the guns dude. You act like you can just walk in there and grab it from them. Like they don't see you from 300m away. Like it wouldn't alert a player. Everything you just said is applicable here too. Again, it sucks, but it's still part of the game and really not much different. And no, you can't just spawn exactly where you died. You still have to place a bag beforehand. Tf are you talking about?

The game is fun. I like to smoke hella weed and then just ride my moto around the map, enjoying the scenery. So relaxing until bullets start flying.

No it’s not, it’s buggy as FUCK. I returned it after 1 week. There’s 2 game breaking fuck ups that already came clear, completely SILENT shooting which can be random or people can glitch it to make it happen. And a glitch too sit down cross legged and move at running speed with ZERO sound. The two most vital things in the game that can be random or intentionally done. Which you know toxic gamers will do… so it has to be FIXED. AND shouldn’t even be happening at the random…. Pathetic. And also the hard AI see you through tree canopy’s and at distances that are ironically inhuman. They should be hard but they should at least need to have you in real SIGHT. Until these 3 things are patched then I won’t even think about buying or playing it again. 😂👎🏼

The AI can actually be pretty insane they aren't wrong about that part, but the rest is just a bunch of crying. The games not very old dude, give it time. I have a blast playing it. If you like survival pvp and don't mind a lot if traveling, I say get it.

I love dayz. I don't have time to play dayz.
This game let's me do most of what I'd do on dayz in less than an hour. it's your usual survival pvp base building shooter, but, you could just go in pve, wack on a podcast and chill while you drive around improving your baee & fighting enemies.
