So how do you loot?

Recommended Posts

When I care a lot.. I treat it like stages, and I clear the area 1 stage at a time.

 

You see a town or lootable site at a distance.. scan the area, any signs of players? Doors open, Zeds around? Circle the area, clearing from a far distance first.. move in closer, repeat. Once inside, clear the building first.. top to bottom. Then loot. 

 

When I dont care I sprint everywhere and loot like Im in a riot that is ending in an hour and I have to get as much as I can before the timer runs out. ;) Sprinting and moving quick tends to not give others the time to properly react and surprisingly is effective in keeping you alive. Outside of Berezino that is.. dont try that there. You die quick, I would assume.

I scope a town, see no signs of people, then run in like a maniac, frothing at the mouth like a rabid dog shouting, "loots! Loots! Mine! All mine! Muhahaha."

Just being curious. Do you actually "play" the game?

 

Sure do. I just haven't died. Or well, I did once. Logged out and next time logging in in was naked on coast. That counts as a death.

 

My post here was obviously on a joking-side.

You'd be surprised how many smartass comments are meant to be "obviously" as jokes.

If you really just want to get equipped as fast as possible here are the best routes: if you take Solnichny as the starting/spawning point, you can arrive in about 40 minutes at Balota Airfield, it is quite like 20 mins to Elektro and another 20 minutes to BA. You can almost run straight through to it without starving, if you do starve though, make a stop at piano building / office building / markets in elektro / cherno. At BA you can equip yourself in less than half an hour with high end stuff, scopes, military clothes without encountering lots of other people (far less than berezino / NE Airfield / Elektro).

If you spawn north of Solnichny and it is too far to Elektro / BA run straight on to Berezino, plunder the two piano buildings, the office building and the police station and you should have already found sth.

To get military clothes and the M4 plus scopes for all the rifles you just run straight on to NE Airfield. Takes about 15 minutes from Berezino.

Of course for that whole running straight through thing you should do it on low pop servers and I have to tell you that it could become quite boring just running straight to the best looting places, getting high end geared in no time and then being done.

I would recommend doing it on middle-high pop servers by sneaking from point to point, which is much more exciting, and/or, if you got a weapon, hunting someone with more stuff and kill them.
