Then kill them in 30 minutes. If you're a tough guy, you shouldn't be afraid of facing armed opponents.

Can confirm there are heli crashes on stable.

Which leads me to another tip: Never hide anything along the edge of debug.

I have a feeling you're gonna be hard pressed to get people who will be specific about this.... but I'll give some pointers: 1. Away from any spawn points (IE - No where near the north east) 2. Away from any high traffic areas (IE - No where near NWAF, Balota, Veresnik, etc) 3. Away from any paths that lead from 1 point of interest to another.. (IE - Stary Sobor, Devils Castle, etc..) 4. Place so it cannot be seen from a distance, surrounded by either trees or other objects.. IE - A wall, pile of logs, etc. Placing around loot spawns may seem dangerous, but certain towns are virtually never visited, assuming you follow the rules above placing behind an out of the way barn or house is not necessarily a bad idea. Also, there are certain clumps of trees (like 6 trees all in a circle), that you could place inbetween.. There's also certain clearings which do not appear on the map (if viewed from map, they look like forested areas), but they provide a clear space and are generally surrounded quite well. Try to place your tent in a valley if possible.. Hills/valleys can be natural visual barriers which make your camp more difficult to spot.

There's a difference between the Dot in 3rd person and the Dot in 1st person.. 1st person is much closer to an accurate representation of where your shots "could" go, but it's still off by a little bit.. At close/medium range it doesn't matter much as long as you're aiming at center mass. I've got plenty of kills this way, as it's more "agile" than aiming down sight.. But yes, ADS is the most accurate, where 3rd person hip firing is the least accurate. 1st person hip firing is somewhere inbetween.

Here's something nobody has mentioned about this that makes it really suck: If you remove your LRS/PU Scope and try to ADS, you have no crosshair... Have fun with that. It's kind of a waste, the gun w/ Black/Green paint on it is better camo'd anyway.

You're going about it wrong in so many ways. There are only 3 ways for contact to happen 1. Equal footing. Both players/groups are on equal ground (no advantage in numbers, position, or firepower). They recognize equality and begin speaking. 2. You have advantage. Their guns go away or they die. Once their gun is away you relocate to a position which favors you and you can begin talking. 3. Other player has advantage. Your choice is to try to run, try to fight, or trust them and put away your weapon and try to talk. You were not in control of the situation and that's why you got shot. Actions speak louder than words. Saying "friendly" means nothing. You cannot approach a group of players as a solo and ASK them if they are friendly. Their words don't mean shit and you are at a disadvantage so if even 1 of them decides to shoot you, you're toast. Furthermore, you're going to the wrong place to find friendlies. And you're looking to the wrong people. Why you gonna ask already geared players if they want more gear? Besides, they have a group with guns. They can get gear themselves. And you're dressed wrong. Helmets are almost as untrustworthy as payday masks. Camo gear is milsim and helmets are PvP utility. Try a baseball cap and a wool coat. No mask no glasses. Anything that covers your face increases odds of you being shot on sight.

Dalek, Kossuth and I are on the road to Moscow, and we come across a disgruntled ol' zombie, not even bothering to do zombie things like "URRR!" "AHHHH", and *SCRATCH*

This will be the first in a series of tutorial videos covering all aspects of DayZ from preparing yourself for success, to surviving and thriving as a lone wolf or in large groups. Whether you're a hardened Vet from the mod, or you've just picked up the game, this series will walk you through the process of surviving, step by step, allowing you to take on anything DayZ can throw at you. In the opening chapter, I do an in depth overview of the entire main menu, graphics settings, mouse sensitivity, a demonstration of the practical effects of FOV and Object Detail, and much much more. Keep in mind, this video is long and while much of it may be common sense or well known to veteran players, it will give new players everything they need to know to get started BEFORE they ever log into a server. It also contains a few very important tidbits that even experienced players could learn from. There is an entire time-stamp index to jump to points of interest in the video if you view the description. Hope this helps some people.

Bumpity.

Grind? It takes me 20 - 40 minutes to get about 85% geared.. I consider 85% geared 1. Hunting backpack 2. Weapon w/ Ammo 3. 6 slot pants, 4 slot shirt, 6-8 slot Vest, hat, boots, gloves 4. Melee weapon (Splitting axe or Fireaxe) 5. Pistol The only times I have to really hunt for gear is if I am trying to kit out an AKM/M4.

LOLLL.. You're a funny little feller.

Hey, Ruthless Bandit of DayZ, go to NWAF or Veresnik.. We'll happily accept your camping ways 'round those parts.

The only problem I had with barricades/road blocks was when they would randomly appear right under you right after you slammed into them, blowing out your front 2 tires and damaging your engine... Hate desync. :\

I agree... The speed increase from mod -> standalone is noticeable when you swap back and forth. I'd say it's around 1.5x faster to travel in SA than in the mod (on foot).. When vehicles are in, hopefully the run speed gets nerfed a bit. Also, the mod had stuff blocking roads... there's none of that in SA currently, but I'm assuming once vehicles get added back in they will throw the junk back on the roads to make transport more difficult. I think Heli's (if they will be in) are still a ways off. Also, vehicles, while fast, attract attention and cost a lot of time/resources to procure, and only a few groups per server may even have access to them.. Good luck driving from Balota to NWAF without having your tires shot out on a full server. Even better luck procuring a vehicle, keeping it in running condition, and hiding it for more than 24 hours on a relatively populated server.

I dunno what you are all on about, because I run into people everywhere I go. From highest to lowest: Berezino > Svet > Novo > NWAF > Balota > Veresnik > Stary/Novy > Elektro > Vybor > Zeleno/Green Mnt > Kamenka Mil Base Conclusion: Low risk Medium to high reward loot at Kamenka Mil Base. Some of the middle ones may be mixed up depending on server.. Like, Elektro may be more popular on certain days/servers than others, but generally this has been my experience.

Not pure bullshit. Accurate about 80-90% of the time. The way you dress in game *probably* reflects your playstyle.

This exactly.

:X

I think some of you MAYYY be acting a little too critical. It's an obvious but stupid mistake, and I'm aware of it.. That's why it's funny/entertaining. It's something a lot of people can relate to, as all of us are human and humans make stupid mistakes. Of course you know where your coffee table is and that you should not slam your big toe into it... That's why you feel like such a dumbass when you stub your toe, and that's what makes it funny to others.

I generally try to avoid it, but sometimes it's unavoidable.. especially when you're in a large group, you haven't yet set up a parameter to cover all angles, and you're in the process of getting situated (as is the case here.)

This is the first installment of a DayZ series I'm doing entitled "DayZ Shorts", where I showcase small, fast, and hopefully entertaining bits of gameplay that just wouldn't fit into a larger platform. Let me know if you enjoy this and want to see more of these. I'll post a couple over the next few days and will continue if I get a good reception. In this clip, I approach Veresnik military base to find some much needed gear and I find a camper hiding in the back of the barracks. Jackpot! He already looted it for me! :D

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback. I was thinking of doing some VO for it but thought first I'd just try to do something very short and straight-forward.. But yeah it may be more interesting if I walk through my thoughts and set up the scene a bit. Think that would make it better?

Killshot and I play baseball with a squeeker, Bearhound and I hunt some hunters, then the entire squad assaults Veresnik military base and I take one for the team.
