We're going deep into the long-range meta this week! Forget the bullet-hose mentality; Andy and Dave are stripping down the automatic firepower and focusing on the core of DayZ survival: the precise, hard-hitting world of bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles.From the humble beginning of a Sporter 22 to the coveted power of the LAR on single-fire mode, we are rating, reviewing, and ultimately ranking every rifle in the game that rewards patience and accuracy.In this episode, we cover:Civilian Saviors: How the low-tier rifles like the Sporter, CR-527, and Repeater can save your life and why you should never pass them up.The Bolt-Action Beasts: Is the classic Mosin still king, or has the M70 Tundra dethroned it? We break down the damage, accessories, and availability of the major bolt-action rifles.Semi-Auto Showdown: The ultimate debate: SKS, VSD, DMR, or the LAR on semi-auto? 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!

The DayZ 1.29 update is frustratingly close, but the stable release is still pending! This week, Andy and Dave are putting on their detective hats to discuss the delay and pore over the confirmed features in the experimental patch notes.Join us as we discuss:The Lighter Side of Night: We tackle the controversial change in the 1.29 update: the decision to make nighttime significantly lighter on official first-person perspective servers on Chernarus and Livonia. Is this a good move for PVP, or does it ruin the survival atmosphere?The Delay Debate: We break down the official word on the delay (stability and performance) and then ask the big question: Is the new Terrain Blending feature the dark horse responsible for holding up the entire update? We theorize about the complexity of integrating these visual changes.1.29's Major Content: We go through the confirmed physical additions, including the massive new clothing pack, the strategic expansion of the Sakhal bunker with a third entrance, and the highly debated weapon sound reworks.If you're refreshing the DayZ client every day waiting for 1.29, this episode is your essential guide to all the new features and the community conversation surrounding the delay!Want to enjoy Friendly?: A DayZ Podcast ad-free and support the show?

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. You might not agree with our final rankings, but you'll definitely want to hear our reasoning!Want to enjoy Friendly?: A DayZ Podcast ad-free and support the show?

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. From the high-caliber hand cannons to the sneaky silenced sidekicks, we're breaking down their strengths, weaknesses, and a few of our personal pet peeves.Join us as we weigh in on:Pocket Powerhouses: The debate rages on over the best pistols for raw stopping power, capable of dropping a threat with a single shot.Commonality vs. Capability: We'll compare the reliable, easy-to-find pistols that will get you out of a tight spot with the rare, high-performance handguns that are a true prize to find.The Utility Sidearm: We discuss the role of pistols in a loadout, from acting as a stealthy zombie-killer to being a last-resort backup in a close-quarters firefight.Ammunition & Attachments: How much does ammo commonality and the ability to attach a suppressor, optic, or flashlight influence our choices?Whether you're a Deagle devotee, a Revolver romantic, or a Kolt cultist, you'll want to tune in to hear our takes. 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?
