Where to go Once Situated?

[TJarnold92 0]

I just found an AKM as well as an Alice pack. Got plenty of food, bandages, a canteen, and even binoculars. I'm guessing I should head north (I'm in Rogovo/Porobo now).

Prehaps the Airfield far to the north? I just really don't know what I should do now, I'm just hopping from town to town as I go North, getting water and food along the way.

You can try the NW airfield, but expect to be killed by a camping sniper.

You can also try Stary Sobor, as it's got some nice military drops, but once again, watch out for people already looting the place and/or people camping the military tents.

You can either play survivalist, play careful and try to last as long as you can while exploring the map and gathering survival materials or go looking for PvP / loot in the military base / main cities from what I can see.

There are a number of things to do.

1 ) Find a comfortable server and favorite it. Make it your main

2 ) Construct a vehicle

3 ) Rescue others, befriend survivors.

4 ) Establish a foothold.

5 ) Construct a helicopter.

6 ) Take out enemy threats.

7 ) Find NV goggles

Depends what you want to do.

I made a guy a month ago or so that survived and collected everything required except for nvgs. Made a couple of attempts in NWA for them, but gave up, and headed up north for a damn to refill the water bottles I'd collected and to hunt animals.

Did this for a day or two, got really, really bored. But if you want to leaderboard it for longest survival, it's how you do it. No need to go anywhere near towns with water bottles and hunting animals. Ergo no interaction with people.

If you want to PvP - hunt bandits for nvgs. It can be boring, but sit north west of the NWA and wait. I suggest finding a ghillie suit to blend in though, these are found in apartments usually, but it will cause you to glitch next login and lose your stuff. So you can probably effectively hunt bandits just dont move and wait for popular times. Watch NWA with your binoculars and wait for some poor schmuck to try his luck raiding the barracks and hangers. You'll have a chance that either a: he is a solo bandit that has nvgs, or b: he is a bait for another geared bandit with nvgs.

In either case, wait for the shooting. You'll probably want the guy who will shoot, and they usually always work in pairs or more. 1 geared doing the shooting, the other spotting and will retrieve the corpse. Night time is a definite indication if a ranged kill is made, the shooter has nvgs. Sneak up on him if possible for the kill and looting, then make the getaway as best you can. Many tactics are available here, but use your common sense.

The other thing people forget is bandit tents, think if you were a bandit camping NWE, where would you put your tent within decent range of the airfield. Go hunting for them in low traffic forrects.

Alternatively, to get most zed kill leaderboards get yourself a crossbow and go hunting low traffic areas for zeds. Bolts are reusable and the weapon is silent. Silenced weapons are also good, but ammo is rare (ie: M9SD, MP5SD and M4A1 SD).

So there you have it, apart from pvp there really isnt much to do end game for dayz. I'm sure there will be incentives for pve elements and pvp in the future.

Explore on night servers.

The thrill of exploring and knowing how voulnerable you are is intensified by a billion.

I travel around in a group with flash lights. Easy to be seen... but also easy to confuse any potential watchers. Especially if they attempt a shot, one of us will have seen the muzzle flare and will point out the direction. We'll all cut our lights and ready up. Possible launch a flare as a distraction and move out and aid the wounded. Brings a whole new dimension to the game.

I <3 night time warfare...

It totally makes the game 100x better to the point where i wish NVGs didn't exist.

We once took out a group with the flare tactic, only using flash lights and muzzle flashes to find each other, it's crazy but thrilling. (Obviously none of us had NVGs which is what makes it better, i couldn't imagine going against a team with NVGs it's such an advantage)

I suggest heading inland, i'm not sure in which general direction, but i'm currently 2 days into the game which is pretty newbie, i ran inland as soon as i could to the forest and cut through some logging roads, you can find the easiest places to loot out there, if you head to any airfield you'll probably die just saying.
