herrjon 478 Posted May 12, 2013 Yeah, definately don't do the ATC tower and I personally don't even do the hangers unless I know it's safe and the barracks and firehouse didn't have anything worthwhile. I typically will head in from the North, go straight for the north barracks, back into the forest, check out the firehouse, then back into the forest and make a wide arc around the East side and head for the south barracks.Should've also mentioned that 3 of those barracks you looted were part of the custom map like you did the other buildings, and that only 2 of them are actually on vanilla servers, one at 046 048 and the other at 046 057. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Anubis_ (DayZ) 139 Posted May 13, 2013 My route (kind of long):1. wide U turn (N, E, S) to approach NWAF from the NE tip2. move SE along the wall3. quick in-out in the E barrack4. move SE again through the buildings and check the firestation5. Leave the airport in a wide arc, direction E then S_Anubis_ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RJTurneR 112 Posted May 13, 2013 I don't there is any real 'safe route', or method, when looting anywhere. Anyone at anypoint anywhere can jump out and kill you. Personally, I just go with how things play out. Obviously the old trick of checking for zombies in distance is useful, generally speaking just stay on your toes.I'll loot everywhere except the ATC tower, thats just me. I'm more of the risk taker type. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigChef 55 Posted May 13, 2013 I've done that route in reverse several times...had better luck starting in the NE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NightmareZee 12 Posted May 13, 2013 Since when is running down the side of the airfield safe? I dare you to do that on a populated server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saethkept 134 Posted May 13, 2013 I liked your video. I would just add that on the public hive server hopper snipers/spotters will like clockwork hop the Air Traffic Control and top floor of the firehouse. I usually low crawl around the southernmost barracks to avoid aggro and to give loot more time to spawn in. Lastly, if available I will always pack a weapon with decent range for sniper standoff capability. All in all a great video. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
s4pphire 45 Posted May 15, 2013 No offense but if anything, this is a video demonstrating all the things you shouldn't do. I would be so happy if everyone did this when I'm sniping NWAF.ATC tower? Stay the fuck away from it, ESPECIALLY the ladder.Firestation? Loot the ground floor while not standing still if you must, avoid it if you can.Hangars? Don't even think about going near them if you have anything of value on you, walk around the back if you must.And finally, the barracks, the only place worthy of looting. Approach carefully, check the area while sitting in a tree, repeat a few times as you get closer and once you feel safe, run through while checking if there's anything worthwhile without picking up useless shit you can get elsewhere (no, that Pepsi can ain't worth taking the risk for) and you should be back out less than 20 seconds later.
