Play slow and play carefully, Stick to tree cover in the wilderness, close to/in buildings in towns Don't engage unless you are confidant of the kill If you start taking too much heat relocate and reengage if you are able to break line of site, It's better to beat a retreat and attack on your terms than to go 'Rambo' in a firefight Keep your sidearm out or a small primary as if will create less of a profile to be seen. I mean it's all really common tactical sense, but sometimes listing it out helps gear you mentally and think of other good pointers.. Edit: Dont forget that grass only populates close to your character, so crawling may hide you withing so many meters of a player, but anyone looking through a snipers scope wont see any of the grass you're crawling through.. Just any easy target

Touche ^_^ they are pretty common, you will happen across one usually pretty easily in garages and houses, in the northeastern part of Elektro there are a lot of good buildings you can hop through. I played for hours before I ever got a gun and was able to stay alive

Hatchet: Right click 'remove from belt"; Click 'rearm'

I'm not a beginner but haven't logged in the PVP experience to consider mself an elite survivor. I've goot good gear of my own and a roleplaying team support mentality, about ready to join a crew as I have been going it alone up until this point. I have a tactical military aproach and could really contribute a strong sense of team cohesion and a willingness to work with assigned roles on missions executing orders without question or be able to fluidly improvise as part of a unit without structure.

couldn't find you on steam but am interested w/questions, add me? biaqkaudio << Steam

^^^ Best advice!

I haven't/don't play PVP so I'm not looking for the best anti-survivor weapon. I appreciate all of the opinions, it is definitely helping me get a sense of what people like and why.

Thanks for editing that post Calibre I'm sure agippo appreciates it. But what is your input on my question?

Awesome, thanks guys!!!

I have a silenced M4A1 so I have cqc covered, I'm leaning towards keeping the SVD for hunting... animals.. or whatever... just seems like a waste to leave the DMR just laying there looking all sexy on the ground...

What makes the DMR Superior would you say? I do have a ghillie suit so the SVD works aesthetically. But I know they are both rare... and would hate to pass up the DMR if it's generally considered a better rifle

I apologize if this has been covered a dozen times but I wasn't able to find a thread through search or by browsing the lists. I am installing for the first time and am confused/unsure-of the differences and pros/cons of "DayZ Commander" "Worrom DayZ Updater" and "SixUpdater" Does it matter which you use? do they serve the same function? What do you guys think?
