The M14 DMR in DayZ 1.23, a well-rounded firearm with unmatched stats. I compare it to other high-powered weapons like the Mosin, Tundra and CR550, show its loot locations and attachments, and explain why it compares strongly to the SKS, LAR and the mighty SVD. This is a comprehensive guide to the ultimate jack-of-all-trades DMR in DayZ.

We need the Striper-Clip readded for the SkS
hi lol
Hey WOBO could you make an updated video on base raiding and the damage of rounds and explosives and also make an actual video about the relationship between gun/caliber and range for knocking/killing players also in Relation to their armor
would be really interesting
Bud is reading a whole ceremony at the beginning of his videos
Haha yeah poor this guy
At least he credits everyone involved I guess.
Yeah and whoever pays him to get their name said and flashed for half a second… LMAO. Nobody reads or cares about that man
@@imVuid its not patrons its people who helped gather data for the video
@@Joe_Real Pretty sure its literally just server advertisement for those servers. They pay for a shoutout to get more players.
Excellent video as always WOBO but hey you forgot one key statistic of the DMR. It's about 3 kgs in mass, even with a scope and a large magazine. That makes it very competitive with options such as the SK or the LAR, let alone the SVD.
Thanks. I'll look into including weight in my next gun video. I overlooked it.
lol dmr weights 3kgs? its same bs level like 6 kg shovel vs 1kg pickaxe
@@runt0rHow did they think you'd be able to break rock with a 1kg pickaxe💀
@@footingball5566it's an ice pick ⛏️ 😂
I really wish the LAR's bullet speed wasn't so unrealistically nerfed. No FAL would ever shoot a .308 bullet that slow in real life. They should focus on realism a little more and let the rarity balance out the guns, instead of messing with their performance.
I think it's for balance mainly. The LAR is scary enough already IMO
I can't deny it's more balanced this way. But I think that DayZ shouldn't be a game about balance, especially not if it sacrifices realism. All guns are deadly anyway, it doesn't really matter if one is slightly better than the other, I just want realism in DayZ, there are other games for aggressive balancing at the cost of realism (PUBG and such)@@WOBO
@@steve_i400but based on that same strict realism, any gunshot would be a death sentence with no doctors or hospitals around. Or getting uncon, the amount of TBI or internal damage required to knock you out would be a guaranteed death without hospitals.
@@scottedwards3403don’t be that guy bro
@@sk8ermGs it’s not being that guy, people cry about balance and how the realism needs to be the most important. It’s dumb. You die on a hill of “in real like this would be X, Y, Z” but on the same hand don’t complain about a 7.62x54 round hitting you in the chest and not killing you, just knocking you uncon. Don’t cry about realism being sacrificed with a difference in bullet velocity when there’s other stuff like that in game, especially under the guise of “don’t worry about game balance, muh realism”
I hope they will add a 3-10x scope that goes on the M14/picatinny rail, and a better scope for the SVD.
This!
better scope for svd ? its got best scope in game.
We need an 8x optic that can attach to picatinny rails. Also give us a suppressor for the LAR and M14.
Agreed
The fact that you cannot put a standarized suppresor, makes the VSD superior.
Absolutely, but, only for certain playstyles that are focused around stealth. I feel that the DMR is more of a "total warfare combat zone" weapon than the SVD.
Very nice😁. It wouldn't surprise me if DMR was placed inside the toxic zone after the update. But I shall be looking. Thanks for the work. 😎👍
Yes, it's likely the best weapon you can find outside of gas zone now. Unless livonia bunker still spawns the AUG AX
Wish they’d get rid of the toxic zones honestly
@@WOBODo you know where you can find the AUG AX on chernarus or can you even make a video or something for all the new items in the gas zones
@@sk8ermGs Toxic zones are pretty fun if you can manage to set up a base where you can leave your hazmat, and only take it along when you get your car to the toxic zone. Besides, they dynamic toxic zones also push the player to change their regular looting route, discovering new areas.
@sk8ermGs yea I'm not a fan of toxic zones
I feel like there's another point here not talked about. The SVD is also much easier to find ammo for. You can find way more 54r than you can 308 in game from my experience, especially in civilian spawns
You're right. 308's don't spawn in towns/villages like 54's do. 308 is farm/hunting/military only. Never knew that, thanks!
7.62x54r only has two weapons in it also not giving players a huge reason to loot lots of it like with .308 that has many guns, its only got the SVD which is rare and now a gas zone gun or the mosin which everyone seems to preferer the M70 in .308 over it due to the hunting optic.
The DMR was my favorite gun in Arma 2 Dayz. I'll jump back into Dayz just to find it again.
Finally I can put on a Scottish accent and sneak around in a ghillie suit
McMillan
Something about this gun gives me the urge to lie down on a hill overlooking elektro and be toxic in side chat....
I'll always remember it as Frankie's weapon of choice
Yea just missing the mil dot scope
The Great thing about the DMR from the A2 mod was it was the only sniper that your NVG would work with.
Thanks for the info! DMR has brought some new enthusiasm to the game!
they should add a nato scope similar to the arma 2 version!
With DMR I think they give a purpouse for the Acog and 6x ACOG. You could use those scopes on a Pioneer and M4, but in really no one used that in M4 and the Pioneer it's not a late game sniper. You could use them in LAR too, but it is a very rare weapon
Lar rare?
@@softdowner737ofc
The fact you can put an acog scope on the DMR to me makes it better than the SVD. I never liked the PSO-1 scopes and if you go to iron sights with them you can't see anything through them.
Could you make (or recommend) and updated weapon tier list? I still get a bit confused about how each weapon performs compared to others
Such a good gun but I'm honestly disappointed that it doesn't take a metal suppressor to make it the counterpart to the VSD. No 308 with a suppressor option is such an oversight imo.
Well, if it had a suppressor i feel as if it would surpass the SVD coz of its option to have a 20 round mag, so its either you pick the M17 and have an extra 10 rounds and a better optic i would say or the SVD for a suppressor and alil higher damage
This was @FRANKIEonPC 's go to weapon in DayZ. He is the guy who got me into the game over 10 years over now. So happy to see it back in the game.
As a ex Arma 2 dayz player the m14 was my favorite rifle also i kinda think its bs that you cant use the hunting scope on the m14 since it is using a hunting caliber round/cartridge also am i the only one that thinks they should re-add the stripper clips for the sks?
As always, thanks for all the info WoBo 😁
Been waiting for this video all week!
Now I just think we need a NATO long range scope in the game, make it super rare ofcourse but it would be sick for this gun aswell as the FAL and Pioneer.
Guess you never heard of the 6x. Do you even play the game?
@@tomahawkintaco6617 I'm talking about a variable zoom scope like the hunting scope, not an acog. Chill my guy...
@@mikedebakker5820he is clearly stupid
Being a sniper rifle I believe another huge advantage for the SVD, that it can accept metal supressor
I think it is a huge miss to not allow the DMR to take the western style metal suppressor. I also wish it would take the hunting scope as well. that would make it live up to its designation DMR = designated marksman rifle.
Now imagine if they added the stripper clips for the sks and Mosin in again. I think the sks would be a serious contender again just because your reload speed would go up.
There really should be. That would be super cool!
The SKS stripper clips were in an earlier version of the game, not sure why they were removed.
@@YesltsMeAgainthe mosin's too, i actually found them in a server that added them fron the old files, they are broken tho, it just loads one round at a tine like normal
@@YesltsMeAgain thanks but I am aware, this why I said add them again.
Down side would be not being able to use them with the PU attached, although with how far back the PU mounts to the sks I don't see why they wouldn't work. Definitely would make the sks the best if not one of the best midrange battle rifles.
Idk how they'd implement them, if it would be a separate ammo type (clipped 7.62x39mm) or if the stripper clip would be a separate consumable that you combine with ammo.
love your videos! keep up the good work!
I think It could of been buffed a little bit, but also the SVD to be buffed with them both being maybe rarer. I do like the idea of having weapons which are like ooooh snap you found a "insert gun name". Where I don't feel like any gun... gives the feel at the moment.
M107 and AS50 come to mind.
I have suppressed SVD and now I found DMR, damn tough choice but i should drop one of these
SKS is the workhorse of all the guns in the game. easy to find, easy to find ammo, easy tom find scope and the iron sights are the best in game imo.
Take SKS all day, perfect rifle imo
I got one of these at a heli, the sound of chambering it is beautiful!!
Kool, I love this weapon, but it sucks that u can't use a standard suppressor with it
Arma II nostalgia is hitting so hard rn
Great video !
One important thing i didn't see (or maybe i missed it ?) is whether it can one shot plate like SVD or does it takes 2 shots to knock it unconscious like a lar ?
One shot to knock unconscious. But I’ve only shot a couple people with it.
little fun fact the DMR really isnt the m14 in dayz, its really an m1A, a civilian m14 that fired .308, rather than the m14s 7.62mm. The M1A is also semi auto while the m14 is full auto
absolutely criminal that they didnt add the old dayz mod scope for it with the mildots.
Wow I didn’t expect it to be 2 overall. Very interesting.
Pretty disappointed that there's no hunting optic or metal suppressor option for the DMR. No real reason to pick it over the SVD in my opinion. Pretty much a reskin FAL, and I already passed that up for suppressed SVD. I wish the DEVs would stop being so afraid to add weapons that are fundamentally better than others. There's no reason why we shouldn't have a long-range, silent semi-auto sniper system.
i love seeing the list of servers at the beginning get longer every upload. get that bag Wobo!!!
The fact that you can put a variable acog scope on the dmr will make it a lot more versatile then the Svd.
The video we've all been waiting for yay tyvm
they shouldve added a new rifle scope to go with it to make it look more like the original in arma2
Finally the good old DMR is back. Loved it so much in the mod.
Wow what a high quality channel this is!!! Amazing!
I was really hoping the DMR could have a steel suppresor
Same
Return of the king
We need a mil dot scope in the game.
"This is my rifle, there are many like it but this one IS MINE, Without my rifle I am useless, without ME my rifle is useless." -USMC rifleman creed.
When it comes to Vanilla, I think the LAR is the best one because of its power and auto fire, which is good in CQC situations. After that, I'd prefer the AKM, because of the drum mag. But, I do recognize that the M4A1's RPM is way higher, and might be the weapon of choice. But, the LAR is still better than any other weapon. I mean, the shotguns seems broken right now. But in a CQ siutuation, i think the vaiga with buckshots would be the best weapon of choice.
I like the LAR but it’s got too much Recoil for me to use in CQC situations. I haven’t yet mastered the recoil and I have 3k hours but I prefer the AUR-AX. The Burst fire makes sure you drop the target at a range of distances.
well well well look whats back, last time I saw this thing was when it was frankie's weapon of choice in the mod
It’s a mix between a LAR and SKS
I’ve had great fun on experimental haven’t even touched this weapon yet
They go through the effort for all these animations. But dont understand an ejector. A bar that throws the round out of the chamber when the bolt goes back.
I still think the svd beats out the dmr for the plain fact of suppressor compatibility. Even being limited to 4x magnification maximum and 10 rounds ive never needed more than that unless I'm trying for ridiculous shots where it would still make more sense to move up first.
i never understood why the fal coudln't take the western style metal suppressor. now I am left wanting the DMR to take it as well , oh and a hunting scope on the DMR would have been great.
@@mikec1096 used to be because of balance. LAR had fullauto, a 20 round mag, and was relatively small compared to the svd with its 10 round mag, semi-auto only, and looking like a mobile green mountain tower when on your back.
I would say "caliber compatibility" but the fact the normalized surpessor is based on the TGP-A suppressor meant for the AK-74 and it's 5.45mm projectile I don't see how it can be an excuse.
For these matters alone I think the dmr should have suppressor compatibility, maybe at the cost of the 20 round magazine?
VSD is still a lot better because you can use a suppressor
If old long range scope will return in future update, that can be best scope for DMR.
The devs need to finally inckude stripper clips for sks as its intended to be
And Mosin.
I finally found one i bet i die before i find a mag for it lol...still wish they would add more clothing and helmets
i'm so mad, i just went to novy and found a bunch of dmr mags and was like 'well i'm never finding one of those' and threw them all into the bushes, and then walked a little bit north into a convoy and got a dmr, and now i'm so mad i logged out and am watching this video instead of thinking about how i just wasted 40 minutes walking through bushes trying to find a mag
The fact that the hunter scope which uses scope rings that attatch to pic rails is hilarious and dumb at the same time.
The lar cant one Hit ko platecarriers while the dmr can, this alone makes the lar Just way worse. Dont know why they Made it Harder to find than many better guns
because it’s the only full auto rifle that fires high powered cartridge
Your background music is really making me wanna scratch my Mass Effect itch.
It would be nice to have the range to KO a plate wearing player in one shot listed as a stat in the videos :)
That is the number one stat I look at with any gun.
How much damage an unarmored player takes I do not care about, since almost all long guns instakill, or insta KO and almost kill in one shot.
Most geared players wear plates.
As someone who goes out of his way to get an LAR in Vanilla or the M14 in modded servers, I'm glad for this new variant to be a very capable semi-auto rifle that has insane accuracy with insane power.
I appreciate it being treated like the "American" high powered sniper variant of the VSD.
I think the DMR will by far be more applicable than the VSD, with American optics and the 20 round clip making it more versatile and damaging within 100-400 meters.
100%
the only thing is it’s lack of metal suppressor
@@pulloutpadawan420balance for the 20 round mag i think. If it had both it would render the vsd useless compared to the m14 maybe
The DMR was the best gun back in the DayZ mod days a decade ago too lol
They better add this to conquest
Thank you 😊
I'm just waiting for the PBS "and viewers like you" at the end of the intro
I just noticed there's no optic in the game that is just a regular old mil/moa?
Need to be able to duct tape a hunting scope to this
Or just use the 6x? 🤯
@@tomahawkintaco6617 you know the hunting scope is 8x right🤯🤯
It’s so special and powerful that they allow it spawn on the coast…. They need to chill with convoys on the coast
I found 2 of them on the coast in a military convo
Great Video. I am happy for this update but the way they programmed the player putting a bullet in the chamber on the M14 really bugs me. I pray I won't have to single shot this gun.
Loved this weapon in DayZ Mod. 800 m k*lls ftw!
yh this takes me back to them old mod dayz🥰
The dmr is the biological child of sks and lar, but lar abandoned dmr at birth. Svd eventually became dmrs stepparent, and dmr wanted to be like svd when it grew up.
SKS and Mosin should have striper clips
Sounds like the DMR lives up to its name in DayZ
As much as I love guns and loot in DayZ I think we need the ability to barricade homes along with a base building rework.
Your dedication to the details in just a computer game is remarkable❤
Can we all agree from the trigger back looks like a shotgun not the sexy grip of a m14
Isn’t the mini 14 normally 5.56? It throws me off hearing 308. I forget every time.
are you gonna make a video comparing all the lighting / weather / sky changes, old and new? :)
SVD is better because it takes a metal suppressor.
the way you pronounce Namalsk at the beginning I always hear "La Mouse"
The M14 is select fire. This is an M21.
bro really scares eminem at the beginning of his videos😂😂
Love you WOBO
I think the fact that it can take so many good optics makes it better than the VSD. Just my opinion
hey WOBO what's the piano song you use in your intros? and please repliers don't say it's Omission lol I did in fact read the description
I think they should have given the new DMR the same sound as it had in the 2012 mod.
I despise the pso scope and the pu scope, never found an LAR on official, so the DMR wins for me
Have they made the red dot sights in this game not garbage? I remember there being a glare on them, even at night, when you looked a certain direction, which made them unusable in some situations.
They need to make it take the hunter scope
M14 my beloved.
Wish the rear sight was created more like real life. Peep hole. Instead of the way it's modeled as is
SVD sounds sooo good in DayZ!
Svd all day for that suppressor
The new DMR is a great addition but I think its time for a new weapon type. We have yet to see a belt-fed machinegun in the game. It would be cool if they added the RPD or M249 SAW, make them spawn only in gas locations and have players collect not only the ammo for said guns, but also belts (which they would have to load), and boxes to then put the belts in that only then can be attached to the gun.
It's a very op caliber for this game. It would penetrate through good majority of constructions and buildings which would make it a very OP weapon considering the game bullet mechanic's.
but the way he described how to use it sounds good. also make it probably 6-8kg and make every item (gun, ammobox, ammobelt) spawn on a different part of the map exclusive inn that case it could become a s tier base raid gun for big groups but otherwise ppl would stash the gun on alt accounts it cant be stolen. on pc it could work
@@mhe6741 Still too OP IMHO.
@@xXaLuKaRdXx1 I agree it would be OP if you could easily get your hands on all the stuff needed to run the machinegun, but making the belt links rare and the ammo box required to properly seat the ammunition also rare, along with making said machineguns only spawn in gas zones would make it pretty balanced. I would also make them have higher recoil than rifles, lower durability, lower accuracy, longer reload times as well as making the animation for unjamming the weapon longer. It could be used as a weapon for raiding, shooting hordes of infected, shooting players out of cars or generally for suppressing players. Add bipods in too to like in Arma 3, so players have to choose between being more accurate but immobile or inaccurate and mobile. Goes without saying they should weigh a lot too
@@PolishCaptainC4 The thing is, what you suggesting will work only on modded server where the caliber can be compensated. I playd dayz for a while an i also know what M240 is so no thnks bro lets keep it how it is.
If you really wanna know how fucked that gun may be, there is a game called Assauld suad sandstorm 2. The mashine guns such M240 are very accurate with penetration and bro its a vile when walls get penetrated. Plus that gam hs realistic hit point system like DayZ so that game rly shows what DayZ uld feel like with HMG's.
But wait DMR was diffrent in arma 2 dayz mod😮
