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?
