elektro hospital window wouldnt break

[fish911503 136]

So this was my first trip to a hospital. I couldnt find a way in. HAd seen video of guys breaking the window but i was alone and wanted to avoid it. I found way to the roof but didnt see a way in. I went back down under the archway across the street and fired my m1911 and ran to hide. I heard glass breaking but when i went back it wasnt broke.

Finally I said fuckit and hit it with my hatchet several times, heard glass breaking but it didnt break. Is this a glitch or what happened to any one else? I was in elektro.

From what i've been told, windows continuously respawn over each other, so technically you were breaking the windows, just not all of them (I just make a habit of grabbing empty Tin cans and throwing them at the windows, it works.)

[Stings2pee 106]

You sometimes need to shoot at several pains of glass. Sometimes it breaks instantly. Sometimes it takes several shots. Also, once the glass has been broken, it will automatically repair itself after like 20 minutes or something.

Use the axe for this.. worked always for me.

I had this problem a while ago i gave up trying to get in. I think it must be a bug, but i have never had problems in cherno if you want medical supplies go there good luck.

OK thanks....Also went to the supermarket while i was there and there was not a single can of food. what a wasted trip...i wasnt killed though :)

Just find a hatchet and use it to hack the hospital windows to pieces. Much more sensible than trying to spam possibly countless magazines of bullets to the windows and still not being able to break them.

Also, sometimes the windows appear to be buggy / desync... At least once I have seen another guy run inside the hospital, but curiously, for me, the hospital windows still appeared to be intact.

[fish911503 136]

Yeah I tried my hatchet, no luck.

happened to me and a friend thevother day, we found out that hitting the very left window resulted in it breaking. Anywhere else was useless and wasted our time

Ahhh thanks for bringing back painful memories...

So i crawled ALL the way from Solnichniy to Berezino after a zombie broke my leg. I knew there was a hospital there but it was such slow progress trying to crawl all that way. So all the way there i thought i should just make it easy on myself & blow myself up with a grenade i had.

I didnt take the easy way out & eventually got to the hospital at night time. I approached at the side & went up the ladder to the roof. As my legs were broke it went glitchy because as i left the ladder i went back prone. There were no meds on the roof & due to the weird prone glitch i ended up falling off the roof trying to get back down the ladder!!!

Obviously im pretty vexed at this point with hardly any blood left but once i regained conciousness i decide to go to the front of the hospital. Im relieved to see loads of supplies & im confident there will be morphine now i just have to get in without alerting the zombies.

So i whack the glass over & over with the hatchet & it wont break. I then have no choice but to use my magnum. 12 shots & its still intact.

So as well as attracting the zombies i also attracted a player that shot me the head. All that way for nothing but stress ha.

Gotta shoot multiple windows for it to work, think of it like one giant panel of glass which needs multiple breaks in different locations to well.. break.

Also the boxes that you see are the best ones for medical supplies but they tend to spawn onto an existing loot pile, empty the loot pile they are sitting on and then you can acces the box itself.

Climb on top, there are medical supplies up there too. Otherwise hatchet or throwing a tin through it

Thats a good one.....my night was similar. I just happen to break my leg on my way TO the hospital. I only had to crawl from the railyards.

By dumb luck i found a morphine injector around the side of the hospital by the dumpsters while i was searching for a way in. After i failed at breaking the windows i decided to circle the building once more to see if I missed something when some one started chucked a flare right next to me. I figured they were trying to kill me zombie death so hauled ass up to the roof. When i got there i could see a car burning a couple of blocks away. Then i saw someone climbing to the roof of the building across the street. i crouched behind a fan vent or something and when they got up to the roof we started exchanging fire. They went down on their belly and crawled to cover. I used the opportunity to get down off the roof and got the hell out of there. Felt pretty lucky.

I feel for you bro! I once crawled about 15 kliks to the berinzino hospital due to a single zombie hit. Like they stated axe or crowbar works best at shattering the glass after a few hits but I found sometimes you can just crawl right through them.

[guidez 180]

You do not need to shoot multiple windows. You do not need to shoot the sliding doors. Simply shoot, throw a can, or hatchet the FIRST or LAST window in the row, and you will be good. I do this in both the "Hospital" and "Quick Start Cherno" guide on the GuideZ channel, and it ALWAYS is one hit on the first or last window.

[Igor (DayZ) 96]

Break through the far left or far right windows. Simple fix.

[spinager 152]

Who shoots at the windows? I just go to the back or on the roof. You do know that the boxes laying around are filled with meds right? I've also found antibiotics on the outside spawns, so there really is no NEED to shoot the windows. Just make sure to clear all the loot around the boxes in order to get access to the box.

[aHzdaNny 49]

Sometimes the exact window you're shooting at isn't the one that breaks. But yeah, like others have said, you can find loot (blood bags, pain killers, morphine, bandages, etc) in boxes without even shooting or actually entering the hospital which could potentially be a matter of life and death if you're playing on your own.

ALL helpful answers thanks...

[lemmiepie 0]

just seen a youtube post regarding this problem according to poster the first window on the left allways breaks

[ganji 13]

still the same for me. i was in elektro yesterday and the hospital windows just would not break. first i put 3 m1911 clips at it with no luck, tthen i chucked an empty whisky bottle at it which smashed but the window didnt. then i tried with the lee enfield. also no luck so i gave up n went to the roof.

ways of breaking a window of hospital:

axe : 1 hit

bullets: shoot 3 different windows with 1 bullet. you can empty an entire clip into one window without breaking it. Hit 3 separate ones and they will all break.

glass bottle: throw at glass (not confirmed by me though, I have always had an axe since reading about that one)

Have made alot of trips to hospitals already, talking out of experience.

I can confirm that, out of the 7 times I raided a hospital, an empty can would just destroy all windows magical and effortlessly, you should try that OP

v1.7.2.4

Just had this happen for me, window did not break upon contact with any object (tried axe, makarov, m24, empty)
