Despite having played DayZ for a long time, my misadventures inland have rarely lead to me encountering geared players, and the majority of my combat experience has been on the coast. Therefore, I decided to seriously travel to the military areas of the map, something that I had done before, but not often. I can not describe the roller coaster of anxiety, disappointment and excitement that I now experience when playing DayZ in the north of the map. Being hunted by a squad of fully geared players, hiding from them, looting heli crash sites and finding rare items is a really refreshing experience after having been stuck in the coastal towns and more rural inland towns.
Today when when exploring the terrifying Myshkino tents, I managed to find an item that I thought had been lost to the sands of time; the M4A1. Only have 10 rounds for it but I'm so happy to have finally been reunited with this beautiful weapon that I had missed from the game for so long, really looking forward to finding more attachments and ammunition for it, hopefully I can use it to hunt bandits and other miscreants. :¬)
