wolffe 52 Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) I've figured out how to survive. I'm on my best life yet and have:M29Alice packBinocularsCompassWatchMapL85 TWS which has night vision & thermalPlenty of Ammo1911MorphineMatchesWaterKnifeI had a particular good story about me heading up to the NW airfield and poking around. I log off and come back hours later and hear a guy inside the south barracks shooting an AK at a zombie. His name was WETDREAM91 or something along those lines. Anyways I can see him through the windows but since I'm a survivor and not a bandit I just watch for awhile as hes switching from looting to killing zombies that are coming because of his rifle shots (not the brightest in the world). Anyways I walk up to the back of the barracks and begin talking through voice about how I know hes in there and that I wont shoot, and that I had been watching him for awhile and could have killed him if I wanted to (which was true). No response. I keep telling him similar things and I walk around the right side. Then he just runs out of the barracks and I see him, yet I still do not shoot. I say "Heeeeey" and he turns towards me while shooting. I let the m29 rip pumping massive rounds in to him and he goes down. (Note: That's me)Victory! I sift through a little of the stuff that was useful on him & hid his body. I won't let any stinking bandit have his loot.Since then I've basically travelled south from town to town taking it really cautious now that I have good loot. This is pretty much a walking simulator because being cautious it takes ages to get anywhere. I'm running from cluster of bushes to cluster of bushes, scanning every direction with binoculars making sure i'm not being followed at the same time.I log in today and I was almost found but luckily proned as someone in a van drove by on a road. I had the opportunity to lay into him with my machinegun but I decided to hold fire. Why would I ruin his fun? He probably busted his ass to get that van, and if I shot it up I'd end up damaging it anyways so nothing would be accomplished. In this situation I know most people would fire... We were both right by the town thats just before the NW airfield and he was heading directly for it, so my guess is is bandits lit him up sooner or later since you could hear that thing coming from a mile away.Then I headed southeast and found a crashed chopper that I camped from a raised wooded area for about 10 minutes before going to search it myself: 2 FN Fails- blunder of the century. I then did 40 more minutes of walking, taking cover in a bushy area, binocularing the area, and more walking until I logged off.I think I have found the secret to survival in DayZ: Don't play it. Since I now have pretty good gear, I have effectively beat the game. The longer I don't sign in, the longer I survive.I could type it, but I'd rather say it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl0LZsyi_tA[/media] Edited July 19, 2012 by wolffe 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My daily survival routine: scoop some water from a nearby pond , hunt some animals, cook some raw meat and eat, drink some water, stare at trees, log off. :ph34r: Edited July 20, 2012 by leeo38 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
