Ep.193 WHAT DAYZ NEEDS BEFORE DAYZ 2! Weapon Mounting, Ragdolls & Movement Overhauls

With the Badlands expansion and Nasdara on the horizon, we have our eyes set on the future—but there is still plenty of work to be done on the current game! This week on Friendly?: A DayZ Podcast, Andy and Dave run through our definitive mechanical wishlist that Bohemia Interactive must tackle before we ever get to DayZ 2.

We dive into the gunplay and tactical movement improvements the engine desperately needs. We discuss adding a proper "posting up" weapon-mounting mechanic on surfaces, fixing corner-peeking to stop clunky camera exploitation, and finally giving vaulting a fluid, modern overhaul so survivors stop getting hung up on low fences.

We also break down the immersion side of combat, debating what it would take to bring back full ragdoll physics on kills, expanding stealth takedown mechanics for players and infected alike, and upgrading dated character animations to bring DayZ closer to modern tactical survival standards.
