❓ Frequently Asked Questions (DayZ Standalone)

How does zeroing work on DayZ sniper rifles?

Press Page Up and Page Down (or default zeroing keys) to adjust your scope's elevation dial in 100-meter increments (from 100m to 1,000m). When your zero matches target distance, your crosshair point of aim equals point of impact.

How much should I lead a running player at 400 meters in DayZ?

With a Mosin 9130 (860 m/s muzzle velocity), bullet flight time to 400m is approximately 0.54 seconds. A full sprinting player moves at 5.8 m/s, requiring a lead of ~3.13 meters (approximately 6 target body widths ahead of the chest).
