Excellent video as always WOBO but hey you forgot one key statistic of the DMR. It's about 3 kgs in mass, even with a scope and a large magazine. That makes it very competitive with options such as the SK or the LAR, let alone the SVD.

[@WOBO]

Thanks. I'll look into including weight in my next gun video. I overlooked it.

better scope for svd ? its got best scope in game.

[@steve_i400]

I really wish the LAR's bullet speed wasn't so unrealistically nerfed. No FAL would ever shoot a .308 bullet that slow in real life. They should focus on realism a little more and let the rarity balance out the guns, instead of messing with their performance.

[@WOBO]

I think it's for balance mainly. The LAR is scary enough already IMO

[@steve_i400]

I can't deny it's more balanced this way. But I think that DayZ shouldn't be a game about balance, especially not if it sacrifices realism. All guns are deadly anyway, it doesn't really matter if one is slightly better than the other, I just want realism in DayZ, there are other games for aggressive balancing at the cost of realism (PUBG and such)@@WOBO

[@scottedwards3403]

@@steve_i400but based on that same strict realism, any gunshot would be a death sentence with no doctors or hospitals around. Or getting uncon, the amount of TBI or internal damage required to knock you out would be a guaranteed death without hospitals.

You die on a hill of “in real like this would be X, Y, Z” but on the same hand don’t complain about a 7.62x54 round hitting you in the chest and not killing you, just knocking you uncon. Don’t cry about realism being sacrificed with a difference in bullet velocity when there’s other stuff like that in game, especially under the guise of “don’t worry about game balance, muh realism”

[@Tony27654]

We need an 8x optic that can attach to picatinny rails. Also give us a suppressor for the LAR and M14.

[@hangrywendigo.7057]

Agreed

[@BadDragonBooX3]

Bottle

[@the-real-sleep]

This is even more true with the addition of the sv-98, it’s a bolt action sniper that doesn’t have a good sniper optic in the game, the Acog 6x is impossible to find and isn’t even that good

[@CursedPR]

The fact that you cannot put a standarized suppresor, makes the VSD superior.

[@KougaJ7]

Absolutely, but, only for certain playstyles that are focused around stealth. I feel that the DMR is more of a "total warfare combat zone" weapon than the SVD.

[@Gromowiec.]

Im always saying everyrifle has a purpose back when i was in the army on days server i notice that for some missions i need DMR on the other I need VSD on other I need something in bold action DMR is good for a shorter period mission but very hard at the same time VSD is good for a longer period mission beacuse of integrated suppressor wich makes it perfect for those missions

[@hangrywendigo.7057]

[@kreeperskid]

I feel like there's another point here not talked about. The SVD is also much easier to find ammo for. You can find way more 54r than you can 308 in game from my experience, especially in civilian spawns

[@WOBO]

You're right. 308's don't spawn in towns/villages like 54's do. 308 is farm/hunting/military only. Never knew that, thanks!

[@deltaforce2780]

7.62x54r only has two weapons in it also not giving players a huge reason to loot lots of it like with .308 that has many guns, its only got the SVD which is rare and now a gas zone gun or the mosin which everyone seems to preferer the M70 in .308 over it due to the hunting optic.

[@cosmo9882]

Very nice😁. It wouldn't surprise me if DMR was placed inside the toxic zone after the update. But I shall be looking. Thanks for the work. 😎👍

[@WOBO]

Yes, it's likely the best weapon you can find outside of gas zone now. Unless livonia bunker still spawns the AUG AX

Could you make (or recommend) and updated weapon tier list? I still get a bit confused about how each weapon performs compared to others

[@Vireca]

With DMR I think they give a purpouse for the Acog and 6x ACOG. You could use those scopes on a Pioneer and M4, but in really no one used that in M4 and the Pioneer it's not a late game sniper. You could use them in LAR too, but it is a very rare weapon

[@softdowner737]

[@Thorwk1]

The DMR was my favorite gun in Arma 2 Dayz. I'll jump back into Dayz just to find it again.

[@weswarhammer9713]

The fact you can put an acog scope on the DMR to me makes it better than the SVD. I never liked the PSO-1 scopes and if you go to iron sights with them you can't see anything through them.

[@quaweds]

I think It could of been buffed a little bit, but also the SVD to be buffed with them both being maybe rarer. I do like the idea of having weapons which are like ooooh snap you found a "insert gun name". Where I don't feel like any gun... gives the feel at the moment.

[@petedabomb]

[@Drift13b88]

[@anavi_6258]

they should add a nato scope similar to the arma 2 version!

[@brucecarson1778]

Such a good gun but I'm honestly disappointed that it doesn't take a metal suppressor to make it the counterpart to the VSD. No 308 with a suppressor option is such an oversight imo.

[@kevcobypearson]

Well, if it had a suppressor i feel as if it would surpass the SVD coz of its option to have a 20 round mag, so its either you pick the M17 and have an extra 10 rounds and a better optic i would say or the SVD for a suppressor and alil higher damage

[@SB-ns4nw]

Wow what a high quality channel this is!!! Amazing!

[@Apocalypse0505hun]

Being a sniper rifle I believe another huge advantage for the SVD, that it can accept metal supressor

[@mikec1096]

I think it is a huge miss to not allow the DMR to take the western style metal suppressor. I also wish it would take the hunting scope as well. that would make it live up to its designation DMR = designated marksman rifle.

[@tekos704]

Great video ! One important thing i didn't see (or maybe i missed it ?) is whether it can one shot plate like SVD or does it takes 2 shots to knock it unconscious like a lar ?

[@jeffheyer7783]

One shot to knock unconscious. But I’ve only shot a couple people with it.

The Great thing about the DMR from the A2 mod was it was the only sniper that your NVG would work with.

I finally found one i bet i die before i find a mag for it lol...still wish they would add more clothing and helmets

[@Thoroughly_Wet]

Now imagine if they added the stripper clips for the sks and Mosin in again. I think the sks would be a serious contender again just because your reload speed would go up.

[@tomahawkintaco6617]

There really should be. That would be super cool!

[@YesltsMeAgain]

The SKS stripper clips were in an earlier version of the game, not sure why they were removed.

[@APACHE.HELICOPTER]

​@@YesltsMeAgainthe mosin's too, i actually found them in a server that added them fron the old files, they are broken tho, it just loads one round at a tine like normal

[@Thoroughly_Wet]

@@YesltsMeAgain thanks but I am aware, this why I said add them again. Down side would be not being able to use them with the PU attached, although with how far back the PU mounts to the sks I don't see why they wouldn't work. Definitely would make the sks the best if not one of the best midrange battle rifles. Idk how they'd implement them, if it would be a separate ammo type (clipped 7.62x39mm) or if the stripper clip would be a separate consumable that you combine with ammo.

As a ex Arma 2 dayz player the m14 was my favorite rifle also i kinda think its bs that you cant use the hunting scope on the m14 since it is using a hunting caliber round/cartridge also am i the only one that thinks they should re-add the stripper clips for the sks?

[@Jafmanz]

SKS is the workhorse of all the guns in the game. easy to find, easy to find ammo, easy tom find scope and the iron sights are the best in game imo.

[@tslater2005]

[@andreideac490]

The fact that you can put a variable acog scope on the dmr will make it a lot more versatile then the Svd.

[@tomahawkintaco6617]

It’s so special and powerful that they allow it spawn on the coast…. They need to chill with convoys on the coast

[@Tokilainen]

When it comes to Vanilla, I think the LAR is the best one because of its power and auto fire, which is good in CQC situations. After that, I'd prefer the AKM, because of the drum mag. But, I do recognize that the M4A1's RPM is way higher, and might be the weapon of choice. But, the LAR is still better than any other weapon. I mean, the shotguns seems broken right now. But in a CQ siutuation, i think the vaiga with buckshots would be the best weapon of choice.

[@Triple6KillaYT]

I like the LAR but it’s got too much Recoil for me to use in CQC situations. I haven’t yet mastered the recoil and I have 3k hours but I prefer the AUR-AX. The Burst fire makes sure you drop the target at a range of distances.

[@ke8idmnkf]

Love you WOBO

[@Left4Plamz]

It would be nice to have the range to KO a plate wearing player in one shot listed as a stat in the videos :) That is the number one stat I look at with any gun. How much damage an unarmored player takes I do not care about, since almost all long guns instakill, or insta KO and almost kill in one shot. Most geared players wear plates.

As someone who goes out of his way to get an LAR in Vanilla or the M14 in modded servers, I'm glad for this new variant to be a very capable semi-auto rifle that has insane accuracy with insane power. I appreciate it being treated like the "American" high powered sniper variant of the VSD. I think the DMR will by far be more applicable than the VSD, with American optics and the 20 round clip making it more versatile and damaging within 100-400 meters.

There's actually a few bipods in the game but haven't been released to us, the Atlas, the RPG-7's bipod, and the M249's specific bipod. The devs need to remember that they need to return these items as promised, and the items shown to us to be coming "by stable" and never have yet.... like the Bumblebee airplane, Multicar, Little Bird, RPG-7, RAK, Camo Net Tent.... there's a long list.... and if they would have been giving us back our stuff at a few things each patch, including those "only bug fixing" patches, we'd have all our stuff back by now, and they could've given us end game content.... it's ridiculous both Rust and Scum have all the stuff, and we get nothing...they were literally copies of DayZ, and they're doing it better. 🙄

The M21 is, just like the DMR, based off the M14, but the DMR is Marines, the M21 and XM21 are Army, the DMR has the green stock/furniture, the XM21 has wood, the M21 fiberglass....but the DMR is definitely the model that's always been in DayZ, and is now being returned (minus the bipod).
