cpo1bishop 44 Posted June 17, 2014 So I'm geared to the tit's, and by that I mean all pristine attachments for the m4 and the FX45, two pristine ammo cases stuffed with 600 rounds of 5.56, 400 rounds of .45, nine, count them nine yellow cases full goodies, full pristine black tac gear, and I knew my fucking blood type. My head torch was chewing through batteries like 1 every couple hours or so, so I decide i'd be fun to drop into some towns to look for some of the little buggers. Promptly die. Cause unknown. Respawn in Svetlojarsk, which was pretty cool, and proceed to find 4 pristine batteries within 10 minutes, and two discarded flashlights at the airfield a half hour later. #@&% really? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

herrjon 478 Posted June 17, 2014 It wouldn't be DayZ without it. The trick is to have some pals and look for different things, and end up finding stuff for each other. No joke, was playing the mod, I was fixing up the Heuy, all I find is a bunch of wheels and fuel parts. My buddy was fixing up the Ural and was finding tons of glass. Loaded it all up into the Offroad and got it all fixed up. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scrubbie_mcnoob 136 Posted June 17, 2014 The last character I had spent around 30 hours searching for sticks and or morphine to fix a mates leg, found some morphine, ran for an hour to get back to my mate when he had logged back in just to inject it into myself... Then went on the hunt again. My current character as from Monday has in his inventory FOUR wooden sticks. Irony is a bastard. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khanarac 252 Posted June 17, 2014 The trick is to not loot until you're geared up to the tits :D It's a waste of time to loot stuff until you have 600 rounds of ammo. Contain your greed, loot less crap and get into action sooner. You need more experience to survive better, so less time spend looting, more time spend fighting.But as HerrJon said, you need allies. Two pairs of eyes see more than just one. Also a buddy can save either your corpse, or just pick up your weapon as the most essential loot off your body, and even has a high chance to take your murderer down, as they might come to loot you. Yesterday I killed a guy who was sneaking around, put 30 M4 shots into him. but he just wouldn't die. I knew it was desync and I was totally gonna die too, even though they guy didn't even shoot in my point of view. It was 5min before serverrestart, and my mate nearby could save my gun and loot some off that guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MLG420blazeit 62 Posted June 17, 2014 When you're looking for something, you won't find it. Pro tip. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krisfx 11 Posted June 17, 2014 I had this when I tried to find a can opener. In one life I had a yellow protector case full of them (to give to new spawns) and sometimes found two or three in the same building, I was killed on sight (obviously) and ended up with four tins of beans and no axe/can opener in sight. I spent that entire life without one, surviving using rice and my axe until I died in PVP at Berezino. =[ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
