Has anyone built there own base yet?

[cowdung 2]

So about 10 minutes ago I found a coil of barbed wire. I picked it up and then right clicked and it said build fencing. You can easily construct a nice little hideout if you can collect enough coils of it. Anyone come across this yet?

I've seen alot of Camps, and I just read a Story about a Huge Camp he found :)

He found? Who found?

Lots of people like to make bases in buildings and then just never return. That way no one will ever get in their base.

There are plenty of groups that make big camps. If you know where to look for them, it's easy to find them, but they often have little of value besides food, drink and medical supplies. Personally, I think that bigger camps are too easy to spot and prefer to scatter a few tents here and there and also spread the loot across several servers in order to minimize the risk.

I found a camp of about 25 tents and 4 vehicles once. Not mine, just found it.

At one time my friends and I had a relatively large base consisting of about a dozen tents with barbed wire fortifications, and even a barbed wire parking lot for our vehicles. Due to fighting within the group camp was eventually disbanded, but while it was at its peak 'twas a sight to behold.... Assault rifles and mountain dew as far as the eye could see....

Yea, last clan I was in built two bases.

First was Novy Sobor church - that place is like a fortress. Concrete walls around it with 2 entrances, stick barbed wire with two tank traps around the back and you're set with one way in, one way out. There's also a climbable tower nearby that you can put someone with a sniper on, so long as they're prone it's pretty hard to see them from far away. We put our tents in the main courtyard and there's also a water pump here. Not to mention stary sobor is a 5 minute walk away, we filled three weapons tents, one medical tent and one food tent within 3 days, seeing only one player (who was unarmed). Obviously you can't stay anywhere forever and some guys drove up in a tan sedan and all ejected, started unloading whilst no one was in the tower - we defended easily enough, however they threw a grenade and blew up our tractor. They didn't come back for days, until some other guys server hopped into our church and killed us all. I made a post about this.

Off-Topic: I saw a guy with a silenced m9, coyote and AS50 sitting on a tower in cherno. I was LESS THAN A METRE AWAY so I started shooting but my akm bullets hit his rifle and bounced off, so I moved and shot him and he aborted. Fucking should've been my AS50. Rightful kill. WE NEED A LOG-OUT TIMER FOR WHEN YOU SHOOT/ARE SHOT.

Second was the construction site (labelled as factory on the map) between Orlevetz and some other town to the north-west. Great little place, again, two ways in, first is a gate which leads to the main road, the second is a small hole in the fence that requires you to go prone to go through. I put barbed wire along there, hiding the sweet spot to make sure no one could get in or dismantle the wire. This left one way open, our clan was big enough that we put barbed wire around the entire construction site leaving the back-left stairway open. There's also a small pond around the back by the wall with the hole, for filling flasks. We parked our vehicles around the back near the walls so they couldn't be seen from outside and we set up our tents around the back, under some trees. Worked fine until I went rogue and killed my clan mates with a cz550. After I ran out of ammo,I dropped all my gear and just casually walked down the road towards them whilst in their Skype call and when one of them said "I see him, I've got a shot." I looked at the building and saluted. Man, that was fun. Too bad they didn't record it.

why did you go rouge?

[Steins 86]

Initially it started as a test, I wanted to see how my clan mates would react to a realistic siege scenario. So I changed my name to SPARKY BEANS and started firing random shots at the building with a Lee Enfield.

A quick-overview - I fired a grenade and then a green smoke grenade into the air.

This video shows how we set up our base. :)

It also shows how retarded some of the clan mates were (I didn't realise just how retarded at the time), after I saw this video and realised how bad they are, I thought I'd try again, this time for real and with a CZ550.

Look at 1:42, he shot his own gun and said it was me. /facepalm

Diffculty with making bases at the moment is anyone can hop to a different server, move into a position that would be inside your camp, then hop back to your server and there you have it, they're in your camp and probably going to kill and/or pillage the hell out of you.

That's why Rocket was speaking about using some kind of underground 'instance' for it in the future - that way whatever server you are playing on your building/base would appear to everyone, no server-hopping abliity to get inside.

i tried it once but then somone founds the camp becouse of all that fenings in the woods ........ mayby its nice to park ur cars on a farctory .....but when somone has a toolbox he can go in easily

[neoshi (DayZ) 0]

Yeah.. this game needs some underground missile silos... maybe even subterrain submarine bases. Imagine the bases that could be built from those!
