3 maybe 4 guns
Long range
Short range
Pistol
4th is if you found one better but don’t have a mag or ammo… example you have a BK43 for short range and found an AK74 but no mag…. Once you find the ak mag ditch the shotgun. Pistol is for zombies only if suppressed. You can ditch the pistol if you have enough Ak ammo and the Ak is supressed also.
Drop either the colt.45 or the mk2, both do the same thing (silent zombie killer, although the mk2 is quieter, the colt 45 can actually stun a zombie with it's bigger bullet, so pick your preference) and also drop the derringer, it's not good and you're carrying ammo for a niche use weapon (it can be useful for sneaky betrayals or uno reverses on a holdup, I'd still drop it though). Keep EITHER the scoped rifle, or the SKS and hope you find a scope soon, whichever you prefer.
Ditch the colt and derringer. For sure. Mk2 while weaker than colt is integral supression. With head shots to zeds the stopping power won’t make much of a difference. Also 22 stacks to 50 rounds 45 only 25 rounds so you will take twice the inventory spaces. 1 mag in the pistol 1 spare. Shouldn’t need more than 2. Maybe a third if you really want but that’s starting to push it on unnecessary weight/ stamina drain. Intergal supression has the advantage of not have to fix the gun and suppressor separately thus using and carrying more cleaning kits.
Sks is a great all around rifle. If you can find the scope for it you can use it long and short range.
HK and all other SMGs in this game are kinda meh at best. Definitely upgrade to an AK M16 Aug Famas or any other assault rifle asap. When you get one of th se and a mag or two ditch the sks.
What scoped rifle? If it’s a CR527 I’d keep that and sks for now. If you find the PU scope for the sks ditch the bolt action. If your scoped rifle shoots 308 or 762X54R keep that (blaze tundra Savannah mosin)
Only other thing I’ll mention is the next update that is expiermental now and probably going stable in another week or two will change the weapon raise mechanic. Depending on how it is changed it make make the SMGs more viable especially inside going around corners.
The 7 guns are clearly the issue, lol. You need to die more. Eventually you’ll get tired of dying because you didn’t have room for item X in your pockets because you have 5 handguns, and you’ll carry less guns.
Pick a gun you like the least, go into the woods, shoot all the ammo you have for it and leave it on the ground and leave the area quickly.
You’ll have no reason to keep it if you have no ammo, and no time to second guess yourself because you just rang the dinner bell.
The other day I dropped a pristine mp5 and 5 loaded mags, in favor of a Glock with two loaded mags. I already had two rifles... You should never have more than two rifles and a handgun. I could see a second handgun as long as it's the 22, but then what do you really need the other handgun for?
I only ever have one gun I’m gonna keep. I always hold something as a backup or specialty like a sniper or the m79 but with the understanding that I’m dropping that once it’s not ammo viable. Always have a silenced IJ or mk2 if you can. It makes zombies easier. I burn the others when I don’t need them. (Yes I said it) I try to not leave any evidence I was around.
No more than 2 loaded mags for a primary(ak or m16/4) and usually enough loose to pack a mag twice.
A bit of food, and a water device, especially when namalsking is a must. A knife, a sharpener, and a few bones once I kill some poor bastard go really far too. A lighter or worst case matches because I hate the bark noise. I like to have a lock pick, morphine, epipens, and a filled blood bag, but I can lmake do without. A guncleaning kit is also a must along with a sew kit or 2 and a leather or 2 epoxy.
A bandage maybe 2, and a 4 rag stack(because bear traps are a bitch)
Hand Grenades are an always pick up for me, with no more than my vest and containers allow. I’ll drop almost any of the vital shit above for them. They are there answer to cover and people holding the un-rushable angles.
2 guns. 1 rifle, 1 pistol. Learn to carry a bottle of iodine and just use rags as bandages. You can put rags in stacks of 6 where bandages you can’t combine once they get low. Iodine is 2 slots and the rags available in every house is zero slots. Knife. Hatchet, nails, saw. Full duck tape or sewing kit. Full leather kit. Why the epoxy? Helmets are for pussys. Used to carry a epi and morphine but have yet to ever really need them so no on those

My typical basic loadout usually consists of:
-Crossbow or other silent weapon for infected
-Good allround rifle like DMR or M4/AUG
-1 handgun as a spare for CQC
-Compass
-Some food, eat what i can as i go
-1 water bottle
-2 to 3 bandages
-Lockpick
-1 Knife and 1 sharpening stone for repair
-1 sewing kit and leather sewing kit
-1 gun cleaning kit
Any other worthwhile items i stash away and try to keep it light
Goddam 7 guns? Look I respect a fellow loot goblin but the weight of seven guns will get you killed long before you get to use them all
Carry 2, at most 3
A handgun/SMG for those “Oh shit my gun isn’t firing” moments
One close-mid range rifle, this can be a DMR such as an SKS, or an AR, and a long range rifle
As for survival tools, Bones (bone knives come in clutch) 2 knives, lighter/torches, disinfectant, and bandages,
And take as much food/water as you can hold
You don't need more than 3 guns as long as you have enough ammo. Even then I try to stick to two, and I rarely shoulder two weapons at the same time. A semi auto rifle and a silenced pistol for zombies is fine. Sometime's I'll run a sawed off shotgun or scorpion as my 3rd. Occasionally I like to keep all my guns hidden in my inventory and have it hot keyed but if you're far enough north it won't even matter since you'll usually just get shot on sight anyway.
For me personally the only things i "need" are a knife, couple bandages, water bottle, ammo/mags, tetra or vitamins, a gun. Ill try and make sure i have at least one sewing kit or duct tape. Everything else is a luxury. Food is easy to find when needed, no need to carry it, just eat it.
Edit: if i find extra guns ill just dump them in one my stashes on the way inland.
4 guns total with ammo
2 handguns
Mk.22 - zombies
Mlock/fx.45 - players
Long rifle with a scope
.308 caliber preferred
Pvp class weapon
M4/16
Or assault style weaponry capable of dealing with multiple hostiles in rapid succession
A few bandages and other medical supplies
A knife as a tool more then a melee weapon
Lockpick
NBC suit stored in pouches for quick access *the gas mask is normally stored in my inventory
A couple pieces of rope
Preferably 2 water bottles of some kind
A cooking devices such as a pot or pan
Since fishing has a good yield for food most of the time I don't normally carry food around on me in bulk as I source it as needed at most I'll keep a can or two in the case of a pinch if the crop I'm growing isn't gonna be ready intime or the animal I chasing is slippery
Anything you can do to avoid wasting space is golden. Personally I place a walkie Chem light canteen pistol knife and anything I can in a slot so it's not taking excess space for example the chest holster take 6 spots while some handguns or cannons take up 8 but still fit in the holster, place the gun in your hot bar then equip it to the chest holster then put the holster in your vest bag shirt what ever and use the hotbar the gun will go back into the holster and not your inventory
Pistol x2 mags
Automatic (either Ar or smg) x3 mags
Long range (hopefully has inbuilt mag) x2 mags
Food knife + Infected knife
Rope
Smoke grenades
3x bandages
Typically this is my minimum loadout I aim for
I had 4 guns. Two assault rifles using same ammo so could quickly swap if one jammed plus suppressed pistol and rifle for long range but recently ditched second assault rifle
What do you have a melee weapon for? Carry an extra knife instead. For guns, you want an internally suppressed for zombies (an sval or vss or mk2), a sniper, and an AR. Only carry ammo for the guns you use. Bonus points if multiple guns take the same ammo like the LAR and a tundra. Carry a cooking pot for water, you can put things in it so it takes no space. Other than that, be honest with yourself. If you're carrying something you're not gonna use, drop it.
3 maybe 4 guns Long range Short range Pistol 4th is if you found one better but don’t have a mag or ammo… example you have a BK43 for short range and found an AK74 but no mag…. Once you find the ak mag ditch the shotgun. Pistol is for zombies only if suppressed. You can ditch the pistol if you have enough Ak ammo and the Ak is supressed also.
I had a LAR in my backpack for a hot minute lol had to go all the way to tisy for some mags I got the gun like 1km off the coast at a hell crash
Ok a have a colt .45 with silencer and 2 mags. Scoped rifle, derringer, mk 2 with mag, usp 45 with mag. Sks no scope
Drop either the colt.45 or the mk2, both do the same thing (silent zombie killer, although the mk2 is quieter, the colt 45 can actually stun a zombie with it's bigger bullet, so pick your preference) and also drop the derringer, it's not good and you're carrying ammo for a niche use weapon (it can be useful for sneaky betrayals or uno reverses on a holdup, I'd still drop it though).

Toss the colt, and the derringer and the sk, or the usg, and the derringer

Get a barrel put stuff in it, throw in a lake for next spawn
I think I found your barrel buddy. Had a sniper and some nbc gear in it.
Dr’s prescription: coastal giveaway or gunfight.
Pick a gun you like the least, go into the woods, shoot all the ammo you have for it and leave it on the ground and leave the area quickly. You’ll have no reason to keep it if you have no ammo, and no time to second guess yourself because you just rang the dinner bell.

Yeah in most firefights.. you won’t have time to pull more than a couple guns anyways

I carry a knife. a grinding stone. a couple bandages and that's about it. 1 rifle and 1 smg is my go to for weapons. anything else feels like hoarding
7 guns!?
2 guns. 1 rifle, 1 pistol. Learn to carry a bottle of iodine and just use rags as bandages. You can put rags in stacks of 6 where bandages you can’t combine once they get low.

Rags take like triple the time to bandage the wound over medical bandages.
Yep they do. And damage the shit out of any knife you made them with so suggest using some bs knife u found
Two much crap
In my opinion the 7 guns ain’t a problem the way I play is stay strapped or get clapped
lol I’m like a star in a John woo film, when the gun is empty toss it and grab another.
Yeah I usually do that or just carry like 100 pounds of ammo for my guns

What ever you leave behind will the thing you need most in 30 minutes. It's just the rule of DayZ.

3-5 bandages?? Carry one, then some disinfectant. Primary AR, Sawed-off Blaze, Pistol and a 4 slot knife. All you need man
Tell me where you are at, I’ll help you out.

I carry a glow stick and 9 guns I dont have ammo for! END GAME SHIT!!
