So what do you wanna do? Be a humble bandit and not kill unarmed? lol.

I find them ALL the time in the major cities. I shoot 'em in the head with my side-arm just to be safe, then proceed to loot.

Leave.

I just thought I'd share what I personally do in DayZ. First and foremost, trial and error will be your best teacher. I've spent hours searching forums and blogs for tips on ways to better myself on DayZ, and the tips made sense, but they never really worked for me. Dying is the only thing that will help you achieve skill. If you're just starting, take it easy, sneak (as in crawl or crouch-walk) in towns and cities so you can get to the major buildings like the market or hospital. Once you've snuck around enough and you know the towns pretty well, you can start a faster way of looting - my personal favorite. My preferred way of looting If it's a town I know well, (Berezino, Chernogorsk, Elektro, etc.) then I will just charge in through a town. I'll keep some level of sneaking, like running on sidewalks and in grass - don't run on streets. Ever. - and just sprinting to the buildings with good loot. You will most definitely get aggro, but if you detour just a teeny bit, you can lose them pretty easily. And by the time you're fully looted and leaving town, you should have maybe 1 or 2 zeds that are really craving some of your face, so just cap them in the head when you're a ways out of town. It's really easy once you get the town's layout down. Learn to scan loot by look After enough looting, you'll be able to identify loot by looking, so you can run into a room, look at that little pile of crap on the ground, and be out in a second. The only thing I look for when looting are those little pouches. Most tools are in pouches, and you never want to miss out on a map or compass. Never forget about your bag The first 3 or so days of playing, I neglected and forgot about my backpack. You can store many goodies in them, and they're very useful. Can't really think of anything else currently, since I'm really tired... Feel free to add tips, or comment, or make constructive criticism!

Are you 12? You're just reposting a Youtube vid that wasn't made by you...

You're new and trying to start a group? Not a successful gameplan. Regardless! I happen to have an extra M16A2 with 2 mags, and a M1014 with ~5 mags. Want 'em?

You're rolling heavy, bro. But is the firestation really a good spot?

Lol Lock, you got fucking hammered with hate. And nice cat vid, guy up there.

I'm willing to give up my M24 AIM and one DMR mag if you want it, too. Please respond here or PM me. I will not accept if you have terrible grammar, have only one or two posts, and don't seem legitimate. Thanks!

This issue has been resolved, thanks D3nty!

Have you tried relogging?

Not bad.

I opened a door and broke my leg once. Doors are now unusable without injuring yourself...

That's crazy. Can't wait until he starts hopping around servers spawning M1A2 TUSKS and C-130's...

Found something pretty useful today: Food and drink is instantly eaten and drunk when lying down.

I've never seen this happen, now I wanna see it....

It's all in the title.

I'm saying is there a dam without buildings nearby. Because I know Topolka Dam has a building on top of it.

Helicopter.

Wow man, you're low.

I want to start a camp, complete with sandbags, barbed wire, tank traps, bear traps, and the works. Too bad they disappear because of server restarts and me dying... I need a private server...

I need a home server to play on, and public servers are really annoying if they can't keep the hackers out...

He should have, but he was a greedy kid, look at what happened because of it? And I understand the rules, but I've been in a couple public servers who've got like some special client they run and it helps.

Who doesn't want to be a Hero? Hero skin gives a speed boost (like 35% faster, I think), and faster running means faster traveling, faster traveling means more loot in less time, which means effeciency. Bandit skin gives like resistance to cold or some stupid crap.

I've got both sitting here in a tent, and room for one more gun, which to take? Or should I keep the MP5 that's already in my bag?
