We decide which high-tier marksman rifle deserves to be at the top of the food chain for pure precision and engagement range.The Tier List: We reveal our final, definitive ranking from 'F' Tier (The Jam King) to 'S' Tier (The One-Shot Wonder).— Sponsored Segment —This episode is brought to you by the DayZ Companion Bot for Discord!

This week on Friendly?: A DayZ Podcast, Andy and Dave are combining their lists for a chaotic but crucial debate: we're ranking all the shotguns and submachine guns in DayZ! From close-quarters dominators to disappointing pea-shooters, we’re putting our reputations on the line to determine what's truly a top-tier tool for survival.Join us as we weigh in on the pros and cons of:The Shotgun Slamdown: We’ll debate the strengths of each shotgun, from the double-barreled chaos of the BK-43 to the semi-automatic terror of the Vaiga. Are slugs a viable long-range option, or is buckshot king in a raid?The SMG Showdown: Which of the many submachine guns reigns supreme? Is the SG5-K the ultimate zombie-clearer, or does the high-capacity Bizon take the crown? We’ll also talk about the new kids on the block, like the RAK-37, and where they fit into the meta.The Best of Both Worlds: We'll compare the two classes directly. In a tight spot, would you rather have a powerful shotgun with limited capacity or a rapid-firing SMG with more bullets in the magazine?This is a deep dive into the weapons that define close-quarters combat in DayZ.

This week on Friendly?: A DayZ Podcast, Andy and Dave are taking aim at every single sidearm in the game! We’re putting our heads together (and sometimes disagreeing heatedly) to discuss what makes a pistol truly great in the apocalypse.

We don't always agree, but we're ready to defend our chosen sidearms to the bitter end!Want to enjoy Friendly?: A DayZ Podcast ad-free and support the show?

The infected of Chernarus are more of a nuisance than a terrifying threat, and their flawed AI. From poor pathfinding to struggling with doors is a constant source of frustration. This week on Friendly?: A DayZ Podcast, we’re tackling the infected problem head-on and brainstorming how Bohemia Interactive could truly make them scary again!Join us as we pitch a complete overhaul of the infected, suggesting new and terrifying variants that would change the PVE game forever:The "Big Lad": We propose a large, hulking infected who moves slowly but hits like a truck, with a bone-chilling growl that can be heard from a distance, drawing in other infected.The Rusher: Imagine a fast-moving, agile infected that can knock you to the ground, leaving you vulnerable to their more numerous, but less dangerous, brethren.The Sleeper: No more feeling safe while looting! We suggest a variant that lies dormant in houses and undergrowth, forcing you to do a genuine double-take when scouting a town.The Armoured Infected: A military variant that is more resilient and, most importantly, cannot be stealth-killed, forcing players to use a more tactical approach or risk a loud confrontation.We'll discuss how these new threats could force players to change their survival strategies, making every town visit a high-stakes decision.
