Play private hives, no server hoppers lots of loot. Marginally less ass hattery.

Bandanna face masks spawn anywhere a hat can spawn but are reasonably rare. Same for balaclavas and bandanna caps.

That was in experimental, only 3 per restart in stable.

Just unlucky, as far as I understand it all buildings of the same type spawn the same loot regardless of their location. It's only a 15 min run to Kamenka military base via Balota. You might find what you're looking for there...

Balaclavas and face masks spawn anywhere a hat can spawn, it's just a low chance.

Found one in koslovka and one behind the supermarket in krasnostav.

Yep had a compass telling me north was directly into the sun last night. It was pristine.

Change to rangefinder mechanics. I wonder if that means you can no longer measure range while ads?

Landrover please.

Guys hit the corpse (zombie or player) with a melee weapon and then you can walk right over them. Sounds like bs I know but try it, it works.

Two questions from me, any one found a smersh vest? And where you guys finding the range finder?

Yes they do, all vest provide the same protection with the exception of the anti stab vest which provides slightly less.

Do you mean machine guns as in LMG's? Tbh the AKM with a drum mag is pretty much there already.

Being fully energised and hydrated increases your movement speed.

Hmm I don't see the problem, I mean one bag of rice and a can of peaches will take your freshie from hungry to stage 2 energised for hours of play. I've never starved to death in this game. Not trying to show off my 'leet dayz skillz' or anything. But the reality is keeping well fed and hydrated is comically easy, I'd like to see a lot less food and a greater focus on hunting and foraging.

I found 2 today, one at zelenogorsk barracks and one at kamenka military base barracks.

Yeah there is another just like that in a garage at the rear of severograd police station. Static police car spawn I guess.

Is it just me? My char was stage one cold so lit my fire in Zub castle and sat in front (<1m distant) for about 10 minutes. No change to my temperature.

Yeah I'm liking the stun baton too. I carry an axe as well but if you've got a pack of zed's on you, the stun baton proves it's worth in inventory space.

One for the players who enjoy the survival aspect of the game. During the day it's fairly easy to efficiently get around Chernarus. You can get a general fix on your direction using the position of the sun, couple that with good map knowledge and you shouldn't run into many problems. However since 0.49 dropped I've found the majority of severs running 1500-1800, leading to an hour or so playing in the dark. Certainly something I'm enjoying as I hadn't had to to experience it in previous patches. This does lead to an issue of getting around without the sun to guide you, presuming you haven't found a compass yet. Just like real life you can use the star constellations to guide you: Get yourself in an open area and find The Plough, it appears low on the northern horizon at nightfall. Put a mental line between the two right-hand stars and follow it up to the third star in the handle of The Little Dipper, this star is Polaris, The North Star. Its position remains constant above the northern planetary axis. As shown by my epic Paint skills :D. The Plough will move around the night sky but Polaris remains constant. This technique will work at any time of night but The Plough won't necessarily be in the position of the screen shot. http://www.naturalnavigator.com/find-your-way-using/stars Happy trails.

I can confirm it is not bullet proof whatsoever. Tested with a single 9mm round into the visor (pristine) from a p1 pistol. Killed me dead.

You were in a military base, pretty much a free fire zone in most players eyes. Don't beat yourself up over it.

Hmmm me and a friend just tested this on out. One 9mm bullet into the visor killed me.

Great info, thanks. Got to say I'm enjoying the more challenging survival aspect of the game.

Cool, I've found the helmet but still searching for the visor. Looks bad ass with a balaclava underneath.
