I am roughly two hours from spawning semi geared and at the NW Air Base. Coming down the tower in the firestation and hear a zombie or two at the bottom that must have saw me in the tower. So I creep half way down the last flight of steps to the ground floor to shoot them and I either slipped or glitched off the steps but I broke my leg. Shot the Z's from the prone position and no blood loss. Check my inventory and had a set of sticks but the bandages I had in my pants along with everything else including the pants are now ruined status. Could not make a splint, no rags or t-shirt either so I am SOL. Considered suicide but decided to at least look around a little to see if I can find something. Crawl around the fire house no luck. Tried to crawl up the steps but can't navigate them with a broken leg. Reconsider suicide by zombie and fire off some more shots to attract attention but again heard a little voice that said to me "SURVIVE". I crawl across the runway to the ATC tower but still nothing on the bottom floor. Try again to crawl up the steps but can't do it with a broken leg. Crawl around the side and am able to climb the ladder. Crawl around the square walk way and takes me 10 minutes to squeeze through the door. Again no luck. Crawled back out and considered suicide again but climbed back down the ladder heading west through whatever storage shed and building I could find along the runway looking for a rope, duct tape or t shirt to tear into rags. Went through the storage shed, warehouse, another storage shed hoping to find anything to make a splint. Still find nothing I can use. Got to the jailhouse west of the fire station crawl around the bottom floor and again nothing. Try to make it up the stairs but still can't navigate them so I realize just stick to the bottom levels of buildings. At this point I am now determined to fix my broken leg. Crawl through a barrack and a few more sheds and finally see a rope on a shelf but cant make through the doorway. The rope is just out of my reach but I keep trying to wiggle through. Finally wiggle my way through and get the rope but what the hell? I can't make a splint with the rope and sticks. Crawl past the two hangars into the next shed and there is a roll of duct tape hallelujah...can't make a splint with duct tape and sticks either. At this point I feel like the DayZ gods are just mocking me now...yet I carry on slowly crawling my way to the tent area where I had previously came from. Killing the occasional zombie that spots me with my M4 from the prone position. Slowly but surely inch by inch I fInally arrive and cant get in the first tent because of a couple of steps so proceed to the next. Nothing there just a few random pieces of gear or ammo. All I am looking for is a shirt or bandage at this point to make my splint. One by one I peak inside but to no avail just guns, ammo, attachments and cargo pants or tactical vests. I am half way through the tents and the next thing I know I am blindsided by a zombie I never heard coming. Shoot him but this time I am bleeding. Had to kill a few more that were attracted to the dinner bell I just rang and finally the parade of zombies stops so I can proceed with my search. My hope fades quickly as I bleed like a stuck pig and feel like I just wasted so much time getting here only to bleed out. Slowly I can see that things are starting to fade to gray but I continue on, I tell my self if you have come this far keep going until you bleed out and fall unconcious whats a few more minutes after my hour long crawl across the airfield. Next couple of tents still nothing while my "clothes are soaked with blood" and everything is now black and white. Had a few moments of excitement spotting some clothing items but each time it turned out to be pants or vest/jacket which you can't tear into rags much to my dismay. Then suddenly there it is...my saving grace that I had just spent the two hours crawling around searching for....a damaged tan tactical shirt. I immediately tear it into rags and bandage my leaking body. Next I use the rags to make a splint and patch up my broken leg. In the hundreds of hours I have logged in Standalone searching for the once elusive LRS which are now plenitful, press/anti stab vest, Engraved 1911 or whatever mythical item I would never have thought that the most exciting thing I would ever find to date is a damaged tan tactical shirt. Looking back I don't think I would do that again but it was the most frustrating yet enjoyable session of DayZ I have had to date. I still think I am kind of stupid crawling around for 2 hours when I could have respawned and regeared in that same amount of time. I just felt like I had to get that out. Might not seem like a big deal but it was an amazing moment for me for some reason.

I find LRS all the time now, most not in pristine condition but once in a while I come across one. Engraved 1911 I think I have found 2 the past two weeks and one red dot for the FNX. Also FNX mags seem hard to come by. Of course there is the press vest or anti stab vest that I rarely come across maybe once a month or so.

I had the gas mask/ballistic helmet combo going until this week. Wasn't thinking and found a UN ballistic helmet and switched them which messed it all up. I decided to punish myself for jumping off a building plus it has been a while since I had to regear.

They usually spawn snipers

After you fill the first put the 2nd empty canteen in your hands by dropping it from the inventory window and you can fill it.

Been playing on and off as well for the past few weeks. Try to hit it up when the player count is a little higher. Have not had too much human interaction. Met a group of 3 people wanting to give me an M4 last weekend, which I declined. Been KOS'd a few times too and have been guilty of the same when I am jumpy. It is in my favorites list.

Been playing on the server the last couple days. Met some friendly and some not so friendly people. Fun server. Public service announcement: I learned to stay off the roof tops in Chapaevsk. I have been killed by snipers three consecutive days on the same roof of one of the office buildings. First time no problem DayZ life, second day hmmm coincidence?, third day (tonight) testing for science...death in a hail of bullets from multiple directions coming from the surrounding apartments. Conclusion, I shall leave your roof tops alone.

Not sure if it was a hacker or just unlucky but this just happened. Low pop server maybe 5 or 6 people. SW military base taking my time scouting, see nobody enter and shut the door behind me. Go to the end of the hall to the last bunk room and slowly make my way forward crouched the whole way. About mid way shots fired from what sounded like an FNX pistol, I was able to spin around 360 degrees before I blacked out and one was in the hall or bunk room I was in front of. This was an isolated barrack surrounded by trees with no place to snipe from. I don't mind getting killed in a fire fight but it just didn't feel like it was done legit. Crouched, no one entered the barrack as I loot quickly, no where to snipe from. It could have been somebody logging in but I didn't see them and the chances are very low with 6 players on the server in a random isolated barrack. BTW I am still unconcious as this just happened several minutes ago, how long before I bleed out and die? Since I was not dead wanted to see if I could revive and possibly figure out how it happened.

You can't close the door in that building FYI It will get fixed eventually

You can carry as many pistols as you have storage space for but rifles only 2... I have carried a Mosin on my shoulder and M4 in my hands. However you drop the rifle in your hands to do anything like bandage eat/drink, climb ladders etc. Be warned if you are on a 2nd story or above it may drop through the floors.

Tried to climb the ladders on the west half and fell both times breaking my legs, other than that no issues.

Found one today in the fire station at the NW airfield, first one I came across

From personal experience FNX mags are the item I have found the least of, as in lucky if I come across one. While M4 mags rain down from the heavens.

I shot somebody in the back today but I think it was a server hopper so I am not sorry. Kept an eye on one of the outskirt buildings at NW airfield for a few minutes. Door was closed and no movement. I creep in all door and jail cell are closed, I loot and scoot upstairs door closed as well. I open the door and somebody is on their knees looting, I assumed if I don't kill this guy than I am a goner and I was fairly kitted out. .357 into the back of his skull. His bags are full of multiple ammo guns etc. I assume he was a server hopper and justice was served.

Have not seen any weapons or ammo at the castles yet, only clothing floating in mid air. I have only checked them out a few times though.
