Routes to take for the best gear possible in as little time as possible.

[Nonapona2 26]

Hey! I have done some experimenting on finding routes that works the best for me to find high end Military loot and fast.

 

I am not really a very good artist but you get the idea, hope this helps you out!

 

 

If you spawn decently close to Elektro, use this route, Route #1.

 

First make your way to Elektro, be very careful because Elektro is almost always highly populated and if you are not careful you will be killed, high risk high reward. After Elektro you want to make your way to Cherno, it is not much of a heatzone anymore as everyone just hangs around in Elektro, but always be careful. Note that if you need food and fast I suggest you going to the large houses more up the hill, and not into Chernogorsk itself, however the 2 ways through Cherno are good for supplies. There is a jail in the middle of the large houses in the area north-east of Balota, which ofcourse spawns Military loot. After that, you go down to Balota, however same as Cherno Balota is not very much of a heatzone compared to before they changed the spawnpoints, but always be careful because if you do happen to see someone, he most likely has a weapon. After Balota you want to make your way to Kamenka, there you will find a road that goes north, follow it about 1000 meters and stick to the road, look to your right and you should see a Military base, same as all Military bases, it's dangerous, always be careful. After you looted that you want to head to Zelenogorsk, where you will find a couple of Barracks and a prison right as you enter it, looting the rest of the town in optional. After Zelenogorsk you want to make your way to Green Mountain, and after that make your way north-east-ish to the Military base to the south-east of Vybor. After the Military base near Vybor you can follow a treeline directly from the base up to the North West Airfield, where there usually is someone, after this, you are most likely to have all Military loot you would ever need and want.

 

If you spawn in Solnichny or even closer to Berezino, use this route, Route #2.

 

Make your way from your spawn point (except if you spawn in Berezino) to Berezino, loot through that, it should be decently safe, but again, always be careful. Loot through Berezino and make your way to Svetlo (the town North of Berezino), is Svetlo you should find tons of weapon, try searching the Police Station (Yes, Police Station, I was surprised too!) where it always spawns 2-3 weapons each time I've been there, and you should also check the Office building (big one, can't miss it), and I would suggest looting the rest of the town also. When you have done that, make your way to the North East Airfield, this is a hotspot, as it is the only Military area close to where you actually can spawn, which does mean that a lot of people go there. After you looted that, you can pretty much go wherever you want, this will probably not give you the high ends equipment, but you will have a weapon, food, water, ammo, pretty much high end.

 

 

 

Thank you for reading, beans are appreciated! :)

You're also highly likely to run into some 'bad' guys using those routes. Not to mention, the high amount of traffic means less gear being leftover for fresh spawns.

 

With the amount of police stations and grocery stores being added throughout the map, I find myself heading straight inland as soon as I spawn. It doesn't usually take me too long to get started with the basics. Plus, since most people run to the hot spots, I find plenty of food and gear in the inland cities.

 

That's just me though.

Route 1 should be called "route of the dead".

You indeed are very likely to get some bandits on you, that is why you have to be careful, I by no means are forcing you to use this route, if you just wanna try it out I can tell you that it does work great if you try to stay away from the trouble :).

Nice maps, almost as good as the one I made for the thread below. ;)

Yup pretty much!

These routes will lead to your death. GO INLAND INSTEAD. ;-;

It's worth stopping in Cherno. There's a fire station there and several pubs. Pubs are good for canteens, food and occasionally a rifle and ammo.  Also, the office building there.

 

If gearing up with high end loot as fast as possible is your goal, run these routes on empty servers.

No disrespect OP but you missed several towns, and have chosen arguably the most looted route's that there are. I feel it would be wise to advise people that maybe death from starvation, bandits or murder will come to those who follow these maps unless they are among the first to walk that path.  It's not that they aren't good routes but unless you're in the first 10-15 people to walk them then finding a gun will be hard, and food even more so. The best routes are the once that change according to what is happening on the server via observation and experience.

Thanks for the feedback :)

The second route this might be the case, but it's a big chance that you will be able to get a weapon, food, ammo and water from it still, as many people usually only wants to go to Elektro and have fun. In this case it is most likely that you are the one in 10-15 people that don't suicide in Solnichny.

 

Same as the second route the first route might also be the case. First route loot varies, and is extremely dangerous, "Route of the Dead", if you will. This is why you need to be extremely cautious when taking this route, but this route definately gives you more loot along the way, it's actually easy to survive this even on a 30-40 pop server if you know how to play safely.

1. Go to elektro

2. Log out

3. Wait till late at night and then pick a server that has NOT restarted but has 0 players

4. Search "logout positions/sniper positions" for the guns that are dropped when players with 2 primarys log out

5. ?????

6. Profit Join a populated server and then use the weapon to get the other equipment (backback etc) from someone else
