Siickest 16 Posted November 20, 2012 Hello DayZ Reader ;) Next Question is up and running ;)This is about week is about "sharing"You have found an ATV/CAR/TRUCK and as you drive in the forest you drive into a tree/building/anything. You notice it get very damage. You lost 1 wheel and the engine is (red). You don't have the items to repair because you were on your way. But you are to far away and it will take time. You can't drive it anymore. Sadly enough.So the Question is: What would you do?My answer: Me and my friend got our motto "If we can't have it, no one can!"

Paddy0610 278 Posted November 20, 2012 If im alone i would Empty the fuel too (by leaving the engine on) getting the Parts to Repair.If im in a Team 1 or more will go scavenging for the Parts. 1 Will guard the Vehicle from an save Position.1 Wheel would do it then i could drive away hide it on an save spot and try getting the engine.

Creep- 569 Posted November 20, 2012 This is why you should always have spare parts in your vehicle if you're venturing out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Draxx (DayZ) 61 Posted November 20, 2012 If I am alone I walk and do not use any cars or other vehicles. You are spotted to fast and you make a lot of noise.If I am with my squad we would secure the area and one or two are getting the needed parts to get it running again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bludy 324 Posted November 20, 2012 when i play solo, i leave the vehicle for others, in the middle of the road or near a town with some traffic..i care more about tents than vehicles, and when i find them i search only in a close range to them for parts..

Derpy_Hooves (DayZ) 4521 Posted November 20, 2012 If we are stupid enough to break it we deal with the problems on foot, we get our original mission over and done with no matter the distance then come back to the vehicle...If there are 4 or 5 of us it makes looting for gear, survival goods and parts the whole much easier, though trecking over open ground can take time if being cautious. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Nasty 1023 Posted November 20, 2012 Broken down vehicles make the best kind of traps.If im in town and it breaks down I'll usually find a nice ambush spot. Sometimes ill be lucky enough that the poor guy that comes along actually has the parts to fix it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Perigrin 105 Posted November 21, 2012 Walk. A real man travels by foot, no matter how long the distance!amen. i try not to bother with vehicles, always get shot out/blown up/run out of supplies and gas in the middle of nowhere/have an idiot try to steal it, hit a tree, and blow up 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OrLoK 16185 Posted November 22, 2012 Hello thereIf I leave a server with a useable vehicle, I just fill my pack up from the inventory of the the said vehicle with whatever I need and leave it for the next person.I usually park it out of the way, on a side street or the rear of a warehouse, but never hide it in the middle of nowhwere.If it's there when i relog on, all well and good, if not, well, someone else was made happy finding it.I'm a snuggly carebear sometimes.RgdsLoK 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smore98 225 Posted November 22, 2012 I would tend to it's wounds as much as possible. If possible, I will stop by any industrial loot spawn for parts and fuel.If that's not an option......always nice to keep a grenade in your inventory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xx_fr0st-w0lf_xx 53 Posted November 22, 2012 Depends, once I found a heli< but since I can't fly for shit (and didn't feel like losing my good gear) I called out on side chat if anyone wanted it. I met a nice guy and we repaired it together and scouted for crashes for a long time, untill a hacker decided to take it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if you spend hours of repairing a vehicle you really park it where the chance is very big that it is gone? Very generous.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
