Combat

Guns!

Okay, okay…so you want to know about guns. Generally, these can be found along with various weapon attachments in military camps or airfields. Balota which can be found along the southern coastline is a popular one. However, it's also popular for bandits and server hoppers. You will also have to deal with some zombies spawning there as well.

The other two popular spots are NWAF (North Western Airfield) and NEAF (North Eastern Airfield), however there are many other military camps/bases peppered throughout Chernarus.

Once you find a gun, you will still need a compatible magazine and bullets for it as well.

You should be aware that firing guns may attract zombies/more zombies as well as alert other survivors to your position, especially during night time.

Sway

You may notice your gun swaying when you aim with it(more noticeable with a scope), all guns have a slight sway but a multitude of factors can influence it:

Exhaustion - how much you've been running/rolling recently, to reduce this simple slow down or stop for a few seconds
Hurt/broken limbs - if any of your limbs are in pain it will affect your sway, often zombies will hurt a limb and it won't show in the notification area, if you notice you sway is very high and you're not affected by any other factors then try using a Wooden Splint on yourself.
Position - being prone is the best for reducing sway, crouching second best and standing is the worst.
ATLAS Bipod - Some guns can have bipods, if you're prone with a bipod deployed you will have much less sway, while if you are crouching or standing with it deployed you will have more sway.

Accuracy

Weapon accuracy in DayZ Standalone Alpha 0.42.

Tested Weapons: M4 semi & auto, Mosin-Nagant 9130, SKS, Blaze95, .357 Magnum.
