Hey WOBO! At 9:42 you landed 2 shots on the “torso” hit box, but did not uncon the target. I’m sure you noticed that

[@edithboozy1000]

@WOBO Any idea if the next update will include character wipes?

[@Stopthemadness4170]

Thanks for everything you do for the DayZ community Wobo!!

[@eye_balling]

happy to see the devs adding more guns that have useful niches in combat and looting. it's cool that you can hold on to 9x39 now and actually get a chance to use it, the same as you would pick up 5.56 and hope to loot an m16.

[@wTeej]

I feel like 2 brand new guns an update would be better than 1. It's hard to notice it's there when only one gun comes every six months

[@SebastianSenna]

Arma Reforger needs a content creator like you. You’re a legend.

[@AmishZed]

Man you went deep on this one. Thanks for the info! I think this gun will get a lot of use while you travel to Tisy but once there I'll be going with the VSS or ASVAL. Sucks that the VSS>SVAL cause I really prefer the SVAL optics Small guns like this would get a lot more play if we didn't have 2 gun shoulder slots like in the long long ago times

[@TheWelshMan666]

I don’t think the suppressed nature of the VSS/ASVAL is OP, I think it’s the standard suppressors that need a buff. They wear out too quickly. Improvised suppressor is fine though.

[@paladro]

yeah, idk what the real world wear out rate is for a suppressor on a say an M4, but it does feel like its a little quick to wear.

[@miqotesoulia8620]

also glad you took into consideration that not EVERY GUN needs to be amazing, it just needs to fill its roll and by the looks of this new addition I would say the general census is that the 30rd Mag is more highly looked at over the gun itself.

Vikhr, or more correctly Veehr' (Вихрь), means "Torrent" in russian :)

[@tanybrachid]

It's nice to see the devs flesh out the more neglected cartridges. Makes me hope they'll work on some of the other bullet types that only have two or three guns, adding something like an MGV 176 for .22LR, an SVT for 7.62x54 or an MP-153 for 12 gauge

[@indianfiddler]

Mg 176 would be sick

[@tanybrachid]

​@@indianfiddler Yeah i think it'd be a good early game option. Basically a Skorpion that's weaker, but with a nearly bottomless mag

[@indianfiddler]

@@tanybrachid and the stupidly high fire rate and recoil

[@jakerton97]

I have been wishing for a civilian semi auto shotgun for years… the mp-153 would be perfect and a great addition to the game. I’ve never been good at pvp lol so shotguns are my go too in dayz, and a semi auto tier 1 shotgun would be awesome. Heck I would probably never get rid of it lol.

[@tanybrachid]

​@@jakerton97I don't think it should be tier 1. A semi auto shotgun is a really OP weapon for CQB, which is why the the Saiga is Tier 3-4 and the only other shotty that can let out more than one shot back-to-back is the BK-43, which is balanced by the fact it can only hold 2 rounds. I think a gun like this should be a stepping stone between the coastal shotties and the Vaiga, so maybe have a more common Tier 3 alternative to the Saiga or at most Tier 2-3

[@FullUhFools]

I'm not too worried about DayZ Metas, I get most of my kills on Vanilla with Tier 2-3 weapons like MP5K, AK-74, but I'll consider running it if I have the ammo and mags now. I usually dumped T4+ stuff because weapons hard to find.

[@BassNinja]

Used it in dayz experimental and it's so good

[@pyotk]

They should add more optics, sights and scopes, because I don't know about you but I've never been a fan of any of the Eastern Optics, and I only like a few Western Optics most of them have odd glare problems or odd reticles. Like how the "ATOG" has a thick yellow cross, and the P1 "Optic" reticle which looks horrendous and gives me a headache to look down.

[@ThatGuysProject]

I'm still convinced they need ot revert to the old 9x39ap for these weapons to hold any value other then initial pick ups, the ap was what compensated for the short range, low capacity and high arc/low velocity nature of the gun.

[@arthurking3638]

Wobo, Doctor of DayZ studies would be a good title for you! I love your accuracy.

[@deltaforce2780]

I wonder why they added the vikhr over the groza already in the files, I guess so they can partly reuse the animations but it is kinda odd to ignore so much content just sitting there though.

[@L1eutenantMaster]

they have a lot more unused content we have yet to see. For example all the new knifes were mades years before they were added to the game but for the community it was a surprise. So while for us we only see a few items left still unused, they still have quite a big backlog of content they could just throw. For example they are yet to release the viking axe :b

[@deltaforce2780]

@@L1eutenantMaster Honestly i wish they would work though the backlog before making new content, so many unused weapons, items and even vehicles its a shame its unused for so long.

[@tunarulesatca]

Thank you for clarifying the weapons meta list. 9x39AP underperforms on paper, until you take into account a real scenario. I still believe the M4A1 is marginally better due to magazine capacity. The VSS/ASVAL definitely fill a niche for minimalists who don't want to carry multiple weapon repair kits to fix a NATO suppressor, while still having one of the highest DPS weapons in the game.

[@cosmo9882]

thank you, I have one now I need the AP rnds, but I think I shall still be hunting the VAL, awesome work 😎👍

[@rehab_reject]

I think rifle with ap rounds is great for clearing buildings. Much smaller so they don't raise as much round corners and the dps is really good on armour.

[@kirilnikolovski81]

Always had a thing for the VSS and ASVAL. This proves my crazy theory that the AP rounds DO improve it in a way.

My only issue is the ammo is so hard to find compared to something like 5.56mm, which is very strange when the map is set in Eastern Europe and should be mostly Soviet style weapons. Similar to how you can walk into a little grandma's house in a small Soviet style village and find a Desert Eagle or a Magnum.

I find it good and bad for one finding these aint hard official or community the sval and vss are all around tisy and rarely top on the airfield hill baracks same as there ammo so for me its my new Favorit weapon because most of my fights are inside CQB Situations because of living inside cherno so having this very short barreled gun is a blessing

[@krillsweetsa1830]

I think the 9x39 ap should be like real life when then ap rounds should be a weapon crack sound and the none ap rounds should not

[@wavys2543]

they should add more meaningful customization and possibly more types of each round, I've been kind of disappointed for years and years that AP rounds basically do nothing realistic - can you imagine if the weapon modding options and ammo types were even a little bit closer to something like tarkov? Maybe just a tiny bit like that but you could find just more attachments to make your gun look and operate just how you want it to, and there could be a better armor system as well as more realistic AP rounds for most calibers making them all potentially viable in a pinch. maybe even toss in hollow point style rounds for vastly improved damage against infected and at least a slight bump to damage on non-armored body parts

[@knooters]

I dont get why they chose that stupid way of ignoring the bullet when the vest becomes ruined. A vest that is not ruined before SHOULD protect the player to some degree, as it is not ruined to begin with. It's not hard to set this up in a mathematically sensible manner, either - you just need to have a modifier (a fraction) that takes into the account how much durability is left compared to the durability damage that bullet inflicts on the vest. If the remaining durability is half of what it must be to "tank" the bullet, the reduced health loss should also be half of what it would have been with a better condition vest.

[@ExtremeMetal]

It shouldn't accept the AK suppressor but should instead have its own Vikhr suppressor added, like a lot of the other guns imo. Having a one fits all suppressor doesn't make sense for pretty much most of the guns in the game and I'd personally prefer weapon specific suppressors that are harder to find but more durable and actually look like their real life counterparts

[@WhoIsJohnGaltt]

@@ExtremeMetal you don’t think this wouldn’t bring a complexity to the game that is completely unenjoyable? I understand it’s not “real” but it’s perfectly believeable that Ak manufactured suppressor would fit an ak looking gun. To add the amount of complexity you are talking about just seems. Redundant to me. For the problems it would cause and the gameplay expeience it would hinder. It’s already bad enough we have to find 1, gun 2, ammo 3, mag. Which already makes it difficult as is. But now 4, special suppressor for specific gun? Come on now Realism for realism sake is not fun

[@packwolf445]

Because the bullet itself is larger than the ak/svd 7.62, it physically wouldn't work

[@packwolf445]

​@LakevusParadice idk, I feel like it makes massive amounts of sense when you think about the fact it has 2 bigger brothers with built in suppressors already, having it have its own proprietary suppressor wouldn't be a big deal, as you could just use the ASVAL or VSS if you really care that much - and both are better weapons anyway. If you wanna make it more akin to its brothers, it should make sense balance wise that it doesn't use the AK suppressors, plus the logical reason of "9x39 too big for suppressor"
