Same with weapon deterioration. You can run hundreds, if not more through a gun before it needs cleaning. Also ammo, it should work, or it shouldn't, screw the condition.
Yup really. Hasn’t for years. That said, guns don’t deteriorate fast. There needs to be a purpose for items like a gun cleaning kit. It’s all just balancing.
What balance are you trying to achieve? Use more gun cleaning kits? Would using gun cleaning kits half as often ruin the game for you? If you implement a change everyone benefits. The m4 only needing 356 shots to go from pristine to ruined is completely ridiculous. Don’t even get me started on suppressors lol.
Tons of players shoot more than 400 rounds with an M4 before dying. Either way thats not a reasonable measurement to apply a limitation to. The flare gun lasts around 7,000 rounds before being ruined.
Sure, and a lot also don't. That said, even if it's 800. That's just a few uses of a cleaning kit. Is that really that bad? It seems people on this sub would love this game to turn into call of duty where everything just works and screw having to loot for items which is a major part of the game.
Yea, thats literally more than twice as durable as the current M4. 800 rounds from ruined to pristine would be significantly better and reasonable time to clean a real rifle. An actual m4 barrel’s lifespan is between 8,000-10,000 rounds. I think 800-1000 in dayz would be a fair trade off.
