Loot Changes 1.26: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpvapJipmsqhgZY

[@Chuklz70]

I’m hoping they plan to implement size adjustments to assembled weapons. Removing the stock, it’s shorter, now that baby SMG fits. Oh you’ve added a suppressor, now it’s longer, that will not fit!

[@MrHoodedtop]

yeah i just stopped playing because of this, they keep messing with things that made the game fun to play. Now it's got a bit old, too much survival mechanics & changes related to that, not enough focus on combat & actual content.. New map was ok for a week after release but most official servers are ghost towns now... Love the game but little to no effort to bring combat items & gear into it.. DayZ going to slowly die now, only hope is private servers and mods even they are getting old...

[@TomTomXIV]

I think the hardest part is having room to carry simple medical supplies now and also chlorine tablets, survival gear. I'm not really complaining about the change but.. I get there is Loot hoarders but I always called them walking loot boxes. Because they have no stamina to run. I would like to see weapon slots on backpacks to make up for it on vanilla at least

[@Dragon_Lord_Placidusax_]

All I ask for is a case to carry the NBC gear it takes too much space

[@the-expertstreetb-racer5832]

Well, the case requires free slots. It will be more of a problem than solving it. Also I have full NBC in the scientist's case with out the gas mask if not mistaken. so your suggestion is already in the game. Still. Requires free slots (24) if not mistaken.

[@jacksonrampage4598]

​@@the-expertstreetb-racer5832 the scientist case is only on sakhal and you don't need the suit there as there are no gas zones. You can hangout on the top of the volcano tho. I don't think you are playing on an official server and may have different things in your server. The only way u will get full nbc in the scientific briefcase and use it is if you find the case on sakhal and then move it to chernarus or Livonia

[@deltaforce2780]

they actually reduced its size once in the past i belive, now with the further inventory size nerf it would be nice if they could again but i wont hold my breath

[@quinlanreed7162]

I mean, it makes sense that it takes up a lot of space. NBC suits are usually made of a thick, stiff rubber. Not to mention the value they have, you gain access to the highest tier loot available in the game with an NBC suit. Typically, if it’s very valuable and worth carrying, it’s probably very heavy or volumetric.

[@ganjahiwalker2641]

Or if it was craftable and had its own slot. Kind of like the LEHS suit on Namalsk. It’s not terrible how it is now tho

[@nicholasm4830]

I don’t mind dome of the inventory reduction and I feel like it makes it more realistic considering the absurd amount of stuff you used to be able to put in your pockets, BUT the one big thing I think they should revert is the field backpack. It is visually massive, making you much easier to spot and much harder to look around, and yet it is only 8 slots larger than the low profile combat backpack. I think they need to make carrying such a massive backpack at least somewhat rewarding.

[@FracturedGoblin]

I think it’s spot on, it’s visually not big enough to hold any large rifle without it sticking out the top realistically, so it’s perfect as is now

[@kashiro2492]

[@Mephitinae]

Maybe they should revamp the inventory screen to add separate slots for the little pouches in various bags. That should give some needed extra space, while still preventing players from bagging rifles.

[@Mutorcsym1391]

Ohh, those were the good times.

[@tmoney1487]

They should just revert inventory size changes to the backpacks. I can kind of understand not being able to carry a cooking pot in your tshirt off spawn, but the whole point of a backpack is to carry your stuff. It didn't need to be reduced. I personally think there should be gear sets dedicated to item storage that are more visible/colorful and less insulated while some gear sets are more insulated and camouflaged but have less inventory space. There's just better ways they could've done it and pleased more people with the change rather than just a full on reduction to everything across the board.

[@tmoney1487]

(Paragraph warning) I personally dont like it, and thats coming from someone who carries like 40-50 slots worth of items max. Just extra mags, food, water, and medical supplies. I'm not personally negatively impacted by the change, but i feel like if little timmy wants to carry around 6 ARs 2 sidearms and a melee weapon along with his base building kit and food/medical supplies then he should be able to. The hoarder playstyle never negatively affected me, i never looked at someone who had more gear and bigger stashes than i did and got mad about it. DayZ is a game about player choice, removing that choice just because some of the community and developers want it gone is not a good thing to me. They should aim to please everyone and accommodate as many playstyles as possible, not strip them down and say "Nahuh you cant play like this anymore". Especially when they've spent years now casually applying debuffs to players who overload their inventory. Inertia changes, stamina penalties, wetness debuffs, noise changes. All these things added simply rendered useless because no one is going to be able to carry enough to make a difference anymore. Now do i think it was okay that on console you could shove an AK-u in some plate carrier pouches with room to spare? No. But i feel like the changes shouldve been made more selectively instead of just across the board nerfs. Plus the way i see it is that DayZ isnt a realistic game anyway, realism is a convenient excuse the community loves to use when a change is implemented and they cant actually find an argument to convince others that it is a positive change. After all, wolves dont howl when hunting in real life. Gun cleaning kits are for maintenance, not repair. Shoes can be ran in for miles over paved roads and sidewalks before noticably starting to wear down. Supressors can withstand thousands of rounds over time, not just like 50. One can of food and a bottle of water can last days if you need to it to. Anyone with any experience using a rifle can hold it steady when aiming, but our character has the most limp wrist you'll ever see. There are tons of examples of non-realism in the game. Ill never get behind the "we changed this because its more realistic" argument. DayZ is a video game not a simulator. You are not bear grylls surviving an apocalypse, you are a person sitting in front of a monitor controlling a fictional character in a virtual world. Not everything needs to be realistic.

[@BadWolfPlayer]

heavy agree, people can cry skill issue but killing people feels even less rewarding when we're all carrying the same optimized kit just today, I fought 3v4v2 at petro, capital city and after winning I realized the only gain was a fucking GPS 6 bodies of kit and we burnt most of the loot because it was shit we already had

[@Aggrobiscuit]

Yep, there used to be a choice about whether to have stamina or gear. Now you're going to end up with a light build whether you aim for it or not. Jumping over a fence when you're endgame geared is nice, but the choice to go heavy because you need to haul a bunch of loot is nice too, but now it's gone.

Don't forget, they did away with that feature....it was supposed to happen, hence the "foldable stocks" and then awhile ago they stupidly, and completely unrealistically, changed all those _real_ , foldable, stocks....to "lightweight" instead.... and completely scrapped their long standing promise of giving us folding, less inventory taking, stocks..... laziness.

I usually play and don't mind, but now it just made the field bag the absolute most ass bag.

[@BoneFromTheDale]

@ what? None of what you just said made any sense. Also the field bag only lost 10 slots and was already ass cause it was huge.

@@LaztheLax the belt with a canteen and holster and sheath is more than a hip bag. There’s no reason they can’t make it so the smaller packs are wearable with a ghillie.

are you seriously comparing a game to real life? a game where you could put 6ft wooden posts inside a backpack?

[@Dark-pl7tb]

I have over 2500 hours in this game I can say for sure that the inventory reductions were exaggerated and I find myself in difficulty carrying teammate's gear in case they die, carrying repair type items and just overall being able to carry anything useful. They just reduced too many slots to have clothing useful at this point. Even playing single is horrific because you don't have any friend to pick anything you cannot. I hope the devs at least add some slots back because 33% overall reduction is way too much. I would say 20% overall reduction would be decent. I am currently on hiatus until there is a change regarding the issue.

[@hokodo]

They should bring back the ability to put tents on like a backpack. It's major labor to move them now.

6:00 it feels worse because instead of adding new stuff in, adding mechanics into game or maps (like ffs cutting a hole in frozen lake or merge used kits/bandages, blowing on hot food to cool it down, pouring water out of boots because you cannot "squeeze them", adding gear slots on some backpacks (for ex mountain backpack sure have space for axe, knife, canteen, rope - any of that sh*t) you waste time on reducing inv slot because "you feel" like players want lest inv room to manage stuff... That should be sole decision for each player. I used to run with hunter backpack at max (given the model and inventory size), but not it's useless and you have to grab at least a combat one. F that, it will just make officials even more barren than it is.

[@societyisscaredofmasculine8546]

This change made the game harder. Which is good. Cutting a hold in the frozen lakes would be too easy How could you merge 2 bandages? Have you seen a bandage in real life?

@@societyisscaredofmasculine8546 He has a valid point. Why can't we add items to the outside of our backpacks? If it is a true survival game and they are aiming to make it realistic then they should surely add this. Also he is right to say that it should be the decision of the player to choose their play style. Do you want a plate carrier, or an assault vest with much more storage? Do you want a field backpack that's visible from a mile away, or settle for a sleeker but less versatile burlap backpack? With the reduction in inventory space most people will be looking for the highest carrying capacity items and the distinctiveness of our loadouts will be diminished.

[@alexMeier1000]

In general I think it is ok to reduce inventory size but not one third. Imagine you could fit 2 MP5s/UMPs in your jacket and another 2 in your vest 😂 The problems I have is, since official servers really lack loot and are difficult to play, you have to loot military locations and keep like every gun, magazine and ammo type you could get your hands on to have at least one working gun in the end. On top of that you should get some repair items, food and something sharp. On such servers you have so many just in case moments that you cant just ignore everything. In my opinion, they reduced the large field backpack, because you can carry a chest in it and another one within a fieldbackpack in your hands. But then increase the size of a chest like a log beeing 3x11 tiles. A game should not only be realistic but also be fun.

The Smersh rig (which is what it is) can (at minimum) carry 2 rifle magazines (3 slots a piece) in each mag pouch, which there are 4 of. 6x4=24. It also has small grenade pouches, but being able to attach grenades to it would be the solution to that in my opinion.

@quinlanreed7162 exactly. add in the spacious capacity of the buttpack no being only 24 slots it dosnt make sense. if the devs are truly worried about not storing extra long guns then just divide the space into 2. left and right. on consol it makes no difference either for long guns as slot numbers just matter not dimensions.

Why does 1 rag take up 3 spaces, when you can literally stuff that into any leftover space from any other item.

[@coburnboeder2320]

This is just going to promote the carrying of only the essentials for combat and survival. It's going to force people to leave behind items like flare guns, megaphones, jerrycans, explosives, etc. DAYZ has alot of cool items that people already werent using but now will be even more of a burden to carry.

DayZ is a game of extremes, think of it like this, when an item like a soda can is “badly damaged” it would mean it is cut up, dented, and one small impact away from busting open and losing all of it contents. A t-shirt having inventory slots would be your character tucking it in to their pants and dropping the items down into the shirt itself to store them. It’s a survival game, you would probably drop a couple plums and maybe a can of food into your tucked in t-shirt to carry them until you had a better solution in a real life survival situation.

players are probably going to look more similar, because its less feasible to wear lower tier civilian clothing.

Also I imagine people are going to rather keep their ruined clothes on than replacing them.

I feel it’s a nice change. Before fully geared bandits could just take all gear from killed players and stockpile it. Now it’s more of a “what can I take” instead of “take it all and cutt him into meat and take that too…”

[@will1223141]

OK, so now they need to make it where the gun size actually shrinks if you take off the stock and then give heavy penalties for having no stock on it. Because I just feel like if you take a stalk off a weapon. It should reduce its inventory. Sit makes the stock follow bowl if you put a fold stock on it plus some guns need to be smaller. The M4 is much smaller than the AK. So I think it needs to be like 18 slots. So is the S5 in the vs? SI feel like there should be only 21 slot weapons max?

[@grindy24]

I feel like if they are going to reduce the space on just a few low tier items that's fine but there should be a few things that still can carry allot, or if they want to keep it as it is maybe a great time to add a new set of hunting and military clothing and maybe a new backpack which is like a combat backpack size but has molle attachments you can find maybe even one to carry a rifle, For instance even a 50 slot pack but with 2 or 3 attachment slots, and maybe could add in a few different pouches, maybe one nbc only, or one medical then maybe a rifle attachment or pouches in a few sizes, so as you go through the map you get the backpack, then try to find the add on attachments and maybe you can only add one or options to it

Honestly ! It feel so much realistic, but when they gonna understand that WE need bottle, axe, cowbar, or hammer slot on back packs with the belt on the skin of military ones.... It feel so dum that you can't place a masse on the small right or left belt of your back pack...

[@jaywyn2584]

All backpacks should come with a hatchet slot. It's not an effective weapon, but for a survival game it makes the game more enjoyable. Also, some backpacks should have a tiny "dry Slots" for matches or batteries. What about a Road Flare Slot? I might actually carry. We need more dedicated slots!

[@Araucaio]

Actually gonna give my opinion here as a good, fellow loot goblin that i always was(and don't have that many hours on DayZ, 500 Prolly). I think the reduction on the clothes are a bit sad but, they're ok for the most part(except the military gear that should be normal, as well as some jackets since a jacket can have many pockets and stuff), but the backpack nerfs are kinda brutal specially if you're planning on build bases. Hatches, Axes, Wires that are fucking 2x3 and Handsaws, plus your normal loot for basic survival takes a loot of spaces and since cars are NOT easy to maintain(i play as a solo), it gets really hard. I think they should make so that we can carry more "stuff" on bags but like, have waterbottles/canteen slots, lantern slots, even a medium slot that you can carry tools or small fire arms you know? or maybe add some new bandolier that you can fit in your armband slot like some mods have. I feel like, and since i started to play already in modded dayz, the game pushes away the "peace" kinda of people on dayz that just like to survive you know. My pc it's already really bad so, since it lags while pvping i enjoy a lot just seeing the nature, hunting animals and just crossing the map exploring it's beaulty. I mean, i have over 1000 on zomboid and with the new build 42 bringing a lot to the table with hunting, blacksmithing and a whole new area of the map, i figure that a game like dayz that's been produced by over the years can have the opportunity to immerse us more in the zombie apocalyptic world. i mean, it can be little as just securing a door or windows with planks(even fucking no more room in hell have this) or have another way to lock bases because dials actually suck. Sorry for any mispellings to, i'm from Brazil and i'm a little bit rusty on writing in english(just can read and listen very well)

[@GandalftheLegless]

First reaction would be that this makes it very tough to continue playing as a solo. Especially with regards to collection all that is needed to set up the first stages of a base. I would suggest balancing this out with some new methods of stash creation for solos.

[@jb-775]

On console you can still store any weapon in almost any backpack. As long as it has more than 27 slots. Kinda cool difference

Problem is the items and the slot format, a cooking pot is 12 slots, it can hold 1 liter of water but you can fit 4 plastic bottles in it which can hold 0.5L each Make the inventory and the items volume based

As a solo I definitely feel the difference, it feels like it has closed the gap a little between the fresh and the geared players. It has cut down on over geared players and on the other hand i see more stash/base building happening.

[@Xxnightwalk1]

Finally the return of "should I pick this up? Should I drop that?" I personally enjoy this change, still some tweaking to item sizes like NBC gear, etc... But overall, I like needing to think more than "where is the pickup button" when I see an item on the ground

[@revan.3994]

since capacity changes in 1.26 it encourages you to switch more to stashing backup loot and even base building became more interesting now, which controversially was never really intended by the DayZ devs in the first place. So there's that.

[@DougDimmadome-c8x]

Base building is useless and a waste of time unless you have a squad of 4 on 24-7

[@quinlanreed7162]

Yeah, I’m not fond of base building at all. I genuinely think they could help the game by having basing and non-basing servers. Base building ruins the entire point of a hardcore survival game if you can just play it like rust. Not to mention mega-bases causing severe server performance issues.

[@skepticalobserver2135]

Here's a thought: If you actually own some of this gear, actually try to load it and see how much space you use up! I can assure you that a lot of things you hope to carry will be too heavy before you have no space left. I go for realism. The new slots are generally closer to what you can effectively carry. For the backpacks, more of them should have 'external' slots for specific items (this was the whole point of MOLLE attachment points, but even older backpacks allowed you to strap items on).

[@t.r.4496]

If they lower the slot size, I wonder if the weight has been reduced also.

[@zvosburg0991]

I think the changes make sense. I just wish the devs would add the NBC case or something else that can compress certain items to make management better with the changes of 1.26. Maybe the briefcase from Sakhal.

[@endless031]

Devs are actively making the game worse.

[@mightyleek]

Best way to learn how to manage inventory is to play the spacesuit with 35 slots +belts, you quickly figure out the essentials Also, the best belt to carry still is the improvised belt with rope, and knife, as they take 3slots each anyways and both items are must have imo. Water in the holy cooking pot. Pistols become dangerous endgame and unnecessary. You don’t want to run into heavy geared player with an mk2. I like these changes, as you will be forced to travel lighter therefore more stam. I no longer use backpacks as it is the best way to carry useless stuff. You don’t want to carry food anyway as it would be a shame to feed your killer ;)

[@noahfulmer4]

In the last 10+ years, when looking in comparison to community modders, we’ve gotten a rainy forest to roam around, a frozen tundra to stare at, and a few guns worth mentioning. We’ve had almost no weapon attachments, no new clothing or armor with any interesting looks or features, no vehicles, no base building, no trading system. No new quests or reasons to explore, you see the bunker once and you’ve reached the end game. Unless you have a group of people to goof with or some RP to follow, this game will forever remain in its “Beta” stages. DayZ has become the training course for the new Arma devs. They come into orientation, release a patch to prove themselves, and they leave it to the next freshy that comes along.

I like the changes, even as a loot goblin. I used to have so much stuff I would fear gunfights. I play the game more how it was intended. Ironically, I find more loot more often since people can siphon everything in one pass. Even with the increased wear and tear on everything, it gives me more motivation to "loot and scoot", increasing encounters of engagement to loot someone I killed! My kit is constantly changing over time instead of trying desperately to keep what I have. The game feels more dynamic and loot progression feels better. I am happy.

[@kennystatham8722]

It's an interesting change because I find myself making difficult decisions about what I carry. Should I drop this gun that doesn't work yet for some food? Or maybe a melee weapon? In pre 1.0 dayz the inventory was more limiting than 1.25. it was balanced because pre 1.0 didn't have stamina and you could run forever. But now there is a downside to carrying a lot. Currently the inventory nerfs are too oppressive. If the developers want to discourage carrying a lot of loot, it should be done with more maybe more movement nerfs. It should be possible to carry a lot for the players that want to play like that. Make it have drawbacks, but don't make it impossible.

[@MikeHunt-mc4rk]

In my opinion these changes are completely unrealistic in terms of pocket sizes and amount on some of the jackets, pants, etc., but guve a welcoming balance gameplay wise. On the other hand, the fact, that you can get max inventory space as a freshie now, due to many clothing items on the coast already having max capacity, it makes it almost too easy to have much inventory space early in your run, though it opens up new clothing options, while maintaining usability and efficiency.

[@adron.]

[@zedoktor979]

I think the changes were excessive. It’s now basically impossible to carry anything more than a couple mags for your rifle, a cooking pot, cleaning kit, sewing kits, and a blood bag. Bohemia took a decent idea and went too far with it. It makes being solo quite tedious and overly nerfed the already unpopular civilian clothing

[@pelletqowew1239]

They need to fix the field backpack to pick up 2 logs. It has 64 inventory from 90 and logs are 33 each. They could easily fix this by making a log 32 slots each so if you have an empty bag you can hold 2 logs in your bag instead of 1. This isn’t a crazy buff compared to the fact you used to be able to carry 5 logs in your inventory pre nerf. (2 in back on back, 2 in in bag in hands, 1 in any 42 slot shirt like field jacket)

[@societyisscaredofmasculine8546]

Carrying 2 logs is just unrealistic, hard is better.
