How to get great gear without server hopping

[Reared'by'night 0]

I do this with my brother everytime we have to start over.

Camp NW airfield barracks and kill server hoppers is one way to do it, but most are scrubs trying to get a basic set of gear. A better way i've found is to team up with somebody and have him fire off shots from inside the barracks. Either on the wall or picking off zombies as they enter from the noise he is making. Make sure he has next to nothing on him except a crap weapon like a makarov and a decent supply of mags.

Then you just lay outside and wait, with a good view of the entrance and wait for one of the NW airfield bandits to come kill him which they very often will once they hear the shots (there's always one around). Wait until the bandit is checking the gear on your friend then pop a few in the back of his noggin.

Just got 2 gps and a pair of NV googles this way, plus a crappy m24. It's a long run for him every time but the payoff is great and you don't have to cheat to do it.

Once we have what we want we move on.

I approve of this strategy. One question, though, how do you deal with snipers who'd rather camp the barracks from 300m than go in for a CQC kill?

me and 3 friends were just inside the barracks looting , and a server hopper spawned behind us and instantly unloaded an entire clip of his AKM killing 2 of us... something really needs to be done to prevent server hopping (and alt+f4ing when getting shot to) , it's getting annoying.

We understand having to cover the entrance etcetera , but having to cover "the wall" because people can log in and instantly start shooting? that's not fun gameplay.

Snipers usually don't take the shot when in full run. They usually sneak up to the entrance and try to shoot you while you are checking rooms
