Deathlove 2286 Posted December 17, 2013 Going around allot of places in the new Standalone is both exciting and often risky but the sweet spot at the giant airport is to good to pass up. It has EVERYTHING you need. Backpacks, armor, ammo attachments, sometimes rare guns and meds, not to mention food and possibly many other things. Considering its RIGHT next to a ruined military outpost, a town and a city just across the way it really makes me wonder why i would even consider going anyplace else lol. This is my very first time iv ever played the game. Iv seen it in youtube streams and was holding off for this one. So fare i love it. What do you guys think of the airport? Any other places worth exploring with good military grade items? Or is it pretty much hit and miss at allot of other areas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Panicbutton 0 Posted December 17, 2013 In the mod both airfields are a death trap unless you roll in there with a merc squad or your ninja pants on. There are other area's like castles out in the woods that spawned some pretty good loot in the mod, not sure about the stand alone though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ran into one guy showed him i had an M4 we exchanged some carefull turn arounds and than went on our ways. Its quite the gold mine atm mainly because i dont think they have nearly the capacity of zombies they want for areas atm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ham_Sandwich27 108 Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) It's because of the very fact that said area is so plentiful that I've always avoided it in the mod and will continue to in the SA. More loot = more bandits. In particular, more military loot = more heavily armed bandits. Edited December 17, 2013 by Ham_Sandwich27 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The backpacks are some of the best there in the game atm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

longtimer 5 Posted December 17, 2013 How would I find my way to such a place? Im pretty much walking around confused at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathlove 2286 Posted December 17, 2013 How would I find my way to such a place? Im pretty much walking around confused at the moment. Easiest way is to find a map and compass. They are probably like the most valuable items besides ammo and food to use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Give it a week or two and they will be deathtraps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A good bandit will put the tent down in a field near an area of high traffic (The main roads/Novy Sobor/Fields near airfields) and wait 200M+ away with a trusty rifle.

Less likely to run into that kind of thing. And i will go at late hours to loot if i must. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
