Toppers 0 Posted August 12, 2014 As soon as I get any loot of worth BANG... sniped or mugged.I really like the game but cannot seem to progress past either having gun and no ammo or vice versa.Would love to play with another guy or guys to get the best out of it.However it seems banditry is the way to go in this game, no one is interested in me if I have sod all, soon as I get a backpack Bang..........sigh.....

Parazight 1599 Posted August 12, 2014 Best advice Eva: learn how to fight. Practice dying as much as possible. Fist fight people till you're good at it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Raptor 191 Posted August 12, 2014 Currently not much else to do than shoot and loot so most of the time you'll run into people looking for a fight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hells high 676 Posted August 12, 2014 Yup, you can either be a bandit or you can hunt bandits. Rooting out snipers is always a good hobby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rodolfoxiii 71 Posted August 12, 2014 I wouldn't worry about getting killed. There is nothing to do once you are geared up. Happy looting after you spawn again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
creature 1189 Posted August 12, 2014 Yes, they ARE out to get you. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rudette 435 Posted August 12, 2014 Try to be sneakier and careful about your movement; everything you do should be very deliberate with as much concealment as possbile.Also, scout areas before you enter. Especially high traffic areas like towns and military loot spawns---tree to five minutes of watching might reveal someone bouncing from building to building looting.Someone who could be a potential hostile. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blowurselfup 54 Posted August 12, 2014 If your goal is to survive and not be killed by randoms then stay out of sight and don't let the zombies get ya. I KNOW the stairs will get ya tho B) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DerrocK (DayZ) 39 Posted August 16, 2014 Go to a lower population server. You can go days without seeing another person. So brave and exciting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hellcane 63 Posted August 16, 2014 Go to a lower population server. You can go days without seeing another person.And then quit the game because it isn't that great for single player mode. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benedictus 160 Posted August 16, 2014 I wouldn't worry about getting killed. There is nothing to do once you are geared up. Happy looting after you spawn again. Yup, gearing up is usually more fun than being geared up. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hellcane 63 Posted August 16, 2014 Yup, gearing up is usually more fun than being geared up.x2Some of the best moments have been as a fresh or near fresh spawn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pillock 850 Posted August 17, 2014 x2Some of the best moments have been as a fresh or near fresh spawn. Indeed. Yet there are many people actually complaining that there is "no loot" in the persistent servers. I think it's great! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
