The most ingenious DayZ Campsites I've ever seen. (Chernarus)

[tommygun9504 8]

Before I begin, there's a few stuff in here that's not legit. Two words. Private Hive.

It's been a hectic few weeks in the apocalypse...

I've been around the country, trying to hoard the sought after Beanz, fending off the subhuman monsters roaming our once great land, and the healthier men, some driven insane by the apocalypse, who stand on a building... just... killing.

I like to avoid these men, so I hit closer to home, I loot campsites.

But nothing comes close to these few camps that amazed me at how well they were hidden.

I once found a small camp, about 2-3 people, I'd say, at Vybor. I was hiking in from the south, after checking out Pustoshka, when I saw the little dam on my left. I stopped to refil, and a little silver glint caught my eye. I looked under the bridge, and lo and behold, I saw 4 tents, one full of weapons, military stuff, minus a hunting rifle or two, one with first aid gear, another with spare tools, the last just loaded with food and drinks, a few spare sets of clothes and the like.

The glint I'd spotted was their ride, a little M1030 motobike, I remember owning one after my brother stole it on a raid against the Marines in the civil war.

I stood in bewilderment for a bit, took the bike, some food and two AKM mags.

Couple days later, I was beachcombing, I thought I could make some traps out of spare driftwood, and I saw some smoke coming from the back of Cap Gulovo. This time there wasn't as many tents, just one, but this was full of good stuff, the best. I saw some quality Russian rifles, AK-107's, the very latest, a KSVK, I hadn't laid eyes on one of those before, very powerful rifle, and a special little weapon I now keep close, a silenced Makarov PM.

Another great one I saw was the ship off the coast, you know the carrier? I decided to check it one day, I was dropped off there by my friend Petya, in a PBX he'd always owned, never had time to use though, being the farmer he was. I got into the launching area in the stern and found my way to the flight deck. Finding nothing exciting, I proceeded below decks, and I found a massive compartment, loaded with these vehicles, AAVP7A1's, they were, with tents and a campfire in the middle, an interesting choice for a camp. I did not take anything from this camp, but the AAVP's were calling, I did a few donuts and drove over the tents. God, that vehicle is amazing.

But yesterday, taking a joyride with Maruk in the Huey, I did see an interesting sight... A small island, no bigger than perhaps two cattle barns? It was located a few kilometres off the coast, and it was LOADED with tents. I was loaded with stuff, I had a nice CDF military uniform, I always liked their camo. However, Maruk was peckish, and he took some hi-tech stuff, some L85's, most with a holosight, some with an underslung grenade launcher, but he took one with a strange sight. It was reddish, and the helicopter, ourselves, anything that appeared hot, glowed white. He called it "thermals" or something.

What've you guys found?

An underwater base in Pobeda damn was a pretty cool find.

^^ this is whats cool about private hive - make a base, no need for someone to hop a server and spawn in on your tent.

so others have seen bases like this too

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

Yup,the secrets it out! Theres a cheeky way of building a base underwater at Topolka damn too but its a secret, ;) .

I was surprised just how many people knew about the secret bases. I thought I was the only one lol.

Iv'e been building there for a while on different servers. But it's true what they say , no where is 100% safe, if you have thought of good place then someone else will have thought of it too.

So close to standalone it's not worth keeping it secret anymore.

I have actually got a video. I'll upload to yt and post it later.

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

Agreed. It's a small world. Weird that I found your Topolka Damn base on that server. It took me an hour to figure out how the hell to get underwater and then ages to remove all of the wire, you didn't even leave me a tin of beans :(

my question is can you drive a vehicle under there like you can run under there?

[robjuluk 14]

cool? its an exploit.... simple.

[Mos1ey 6301]

I set some tents up under there a while back, someone found it within a couple of days. Didn't realise it was well known...

[4L4N 276]

Never tried a vehicle myself. Although I usually had tanktraps setup at both sides of the dam wall just under the surface of the water incase anyone else tried to get a vehicle in there and flatten the tents.

Im betting you could ride a bicycle down there np's.

Just gotta be careful as the majority of the lake will make you auto swim. There is only certain parts where you can enter the water and not start swimming.

Trial and error to see where you can walk and not walk.

Been playing on Chernarus for a couple of years. Had no idea that was possible.

Mind=Not really that surprised
