I did some further testing.

It appears that at a certain stamina threshold, the "i am losing my breath" voices start and the aim gets shaky.

However, this threshhold is so low, that with a completly empty inventory and just a platecarrier the time where you aim correct is roughly 1 second.
Which is wayy to little to reliably aim with controlsticks.

It feels very bad.

With nothing on you, you can aim fine. But the second you go below ~50% stamina, the aim gets unprecise wayyy to fast, making sniping with a platecarrier near impossible on console.

Please tell me yall can roll out an update here soon fixing this because it affects everyone

Im sure they realize that this is THE Bug that needs fixing.

Alot of people are upset.

I would have made a holding of my breath regardless of the stamina, but on the amount of health. If you are sick or wounded, you cannot hold your breath for a long time. But if you have many items in your backpack, then why can't a player hold the breath for a long time?

Because it’s not exactly easy to hold a gun perfectly still when you’re carrying hundreds of pounds of gear. It’s not about holding breath, the breath holding is just a video game trope so basing it on stamina capacity makes way more sense. Realistically you should be able to hold the guns way more stable irl but dayz has cartoony gunplay so.

When can we expect a patch to be rolled out? This should have been fixed the day after the 1.27 release imo

@1c4ru5
you are absolutely right if we are talking about aiming while standing, where your backpack is pulling you down. but if you are lying down, you can aim calmly, i suggest restoring stamina while lying down :)

@arthur.morgan Having more stamina lying down for sniping would actually be a great addition to the game. Though part of me thinks it’ll some how turn into an exploit if not properly coded.

lying down you will need stamina only for shooting, since you can't run lying down and you can't fight either. besides, when you are lying down, you are vulnerable, which means you need some advantage in this position for balance. + to stamina would be a great solution :)

I don’t think that is kind of changes that makes the game more realistic cause this shaking ( while you’re holding breath ) doesn’t relate to your stamina bar or the weight you have carried or your stand ( crouching , laying down… ) , even in long ranges (+400) it’s more difficult to aim while you’re holding your breath, I think it’s a high priority task to fix for devs RN 👍
