There are only two reasons to go to the NW Airfield: 1. NVGs 2. Thrills If you simply want military gear you should probably go to Stary instead where you can do a quick in and out and find a lot of stuff quicker and safer. However if you go to the NW airfield I recommend you visit both Barracks and the fire station. The air traffic control tower is a little exposed I tend to avoid it. When hitting the barracks, approach from cover eg pine trees are ideal. If you don't know which building is the barracks you can check pics and locations on the DayZ wiki or similar places. Go slow and don't run straight in the front door, go along the side of the building and check in each window and room for players before entering. If you see a player my preference is to kill them through the window, any players you see in the NW airfield will probably have better gear on them than you will find at the loot spawns anyway. If you do choose to hit the Air traffic control tower, I would recommend going up the ladder and down the stairs rather than up the stairs as you will have an advantage if there is someone inside it already. Make sure you check for dead zombies (killed rather than the 'window dressing' ones). This would indicate players in the area. The same goes for recently killed players (although they may have been killed by zombies). Scope it out from a distance first with binoculars (don't need to overdo it as players can spawn in at any time and scoping it out won't keep you safe from this). Know exactly where you want to go beforehand, and avoid unnecessary side trips or exploration. Check the main runway for downed helis you might get lucky. Prone a lot. If you aggro any zombies you put yourself at risk both from the zombies and from any players that hear your gunshots and see you running around. Carry smoke grenades, if you do get swarmed throw one to distract the zombies and move quietly away from the area to shake the attention of the undead. Don't get greedy. If you have found what you want already simply looting further will increase the risk of getting killed. Don't loot at night with a flashlight (unless it is a military flashlight as these are very dim and can't be seen easily from a distance) or flares. This should be obvious but the amount of times I have seen it at Balota and Stary always amazes me.

Nothing should save off the map

Hes talking about crashed helis not repairable ones...

"Its an Alpha" Sorry just thought I would post the most common piece of 'helpful advice' found on the DayZ Mod forums...

Cammo can make you spawn in the ocean. It's still a bit of a gamble in my experience.

Hahaha Exactly. Actually, though, anyone who doesn't think this 'game' is broken has never been killed by a toilet door or by spawning in mid air for no reason...what is amazing is that despite huge flaws in the current state of the mod it is still one of the best experiences in gaming

Theoretically spawning weapons, being teleported by admins, playing on a private server, would earn most players a global ban, yet I am sure that these rules do not apply to big famous YouTubers who so many people fawn over. Its no wonder we have so many cheats, exploiters and hackers if big YouTubers introduce people to the game using some of these methods themselves. Pathetic, the Yogscast should stick to Minecraft.

Yes this happened to me, shortly after recent ddos attack. First time I logged in after the attack I had all my gear on me but lost vehicles, next time I logged in I was prompted to choose character sex and had respawned as if I had died. Annoying.

when you spawn or login you need to watch the bottom right hand corner of the screen for your approximate location. You will not have a map unless you find one. Pro tip: There are lots of maps of Chernarus you can print out or alt-tab to on the interwebz

I suggest you refer to this thread: http://www.dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=9427 "Can I host a server for my clan? Yes, you can. We encourage clans to set up a server to act as their home. What you cannot do, however, is to restrict the server to your clan only. The gameplay of DayZ involves conflict between survivors as well as zombies, and restricting a server to a single clan would take away this aspect of the gameplay. It would also allow the clan to farm gear without risking interference from other players, which would give them an unfair advantage." - Pallidum DayZ staff If you need help finding vehicles on a private server where you don't have to worry about other survivors taking them then I truly feel sorry for you. Go play on a legit server like everyone else, its a better way to learn the game and will give you a truer experience - DayZ without bandits is not DayZ.

Me and my buddy had one each we were starting a Tour de Chenarus however after the ddos attack recently we lost both of them :' You just have to know where to look for them...

I once lit a campfire and an option popped up to play guitar...never saw it before or since, but once I clicked play it didn't stop until I DC'd...F'ing annoying

Lucky for you there is a hospital in Berezino

I'm a big fan of Zelenagorsk, just so you know

I have noticed this, currently this seems to occur around barbed wire or tank traps in some instances.

Its bogus to think they can't simply include the name of players who kill other players in the game, this is how many many games do things and would help identify hackers and exploiters. And you seem to be forgetting that explosives are part of legit DayZ play...only yesterday I fragged two players in a barn...

Congratulations. You have now graduated from the school of DayZ

I guy with an fixed wing aircraft was bombing in Polana on this server yesterday. He knew exactly where I was, I disconnected when the aircraft started heading for me, then logged in on the other side of the town to try and record footage but he killed me from behind after driving up in some sort of vehicle. This happened right after we killed someone who called himself Dave in the same town
