Lucking my way to a dayz arsenal!

[Luca-cunn 1]

I have been playing dayz for about 3 months now, during that time I have indured hundreds of bugs, some, like weapon loss buggy tents just like every player. And just like every player I have encountered others who seek to brutaly murder and loot every person they see. I think it would be fair to say that my first two months were riddled with bad luck and misfortunate events (none of which have taken away from the insane amount of fun i've been having).

This story however, is not a platform from which I intend to moan and whine so without further adooooo TO THE GOOD STUFF! Recently two of my friends have started playing the game and for the last month we have mixed banditry and survival with a decent amount of sucess. All of us quickly became very bored of being nice guys and it didnt take long for us to realise that most of the time no matter how much fun we had killing noobs running through with cherno with flares, we would venture north in search of decent weaponry we would slowly be picked off by clans with superior weaponry and vehicles.

Vehicles being something we reguarded to be something similar to myths, hidden far away in the northern reaches. Now in the past few weeks our luck has changed dramatically.

Lucky event 1: I come back from a weekend at my girlfriend and im told that at the weekend my friends had found an m24 and had proceded to the hills above electro to do some murdering. The morning after a night of this they sign on and immediately here the noise of some very, very big guns next to them, they look slightly to their flank and see 3 clan members all in guillie suits kitted with AS50's, range finders, nvgs, the works. Unaware of their precence my friends sneak up behind them and dispatch them quickly taking their gear and running as far north as they can and hiding the spoils of war in tents.

Lucky event 2: Several days later we are all playing together and our regular server is down so we go on another, within 5 minutes of logging in we find a red UAZ parked at a petrol station, inside of it were several fuel tanks and a L85 with thermal sighting, we rush up north to our previous camp location to move everything to the regular server which is working again. I log in first and finish loading right behind our tent which some unlucky person has just found and began looting, I kill him and find a DMR and more nvg's. After the camp is comprimised we decide to stay on the previous server with the car so we move everything over and get moving, on our way to set up a new camp we decide to check some vehicle spawns where we find an ATV and a dirt bike all of which are now at the new camp along with a huge amount of weaponry.

Lucky event 3: Neither of my friends could come on today so i go on alone to check on camp. I sign in to a message saying im dead, at this point i felt that the gods of dayz had finally decided to balance recent events. In a rage I went off not bothering to respawn. I went back on tonight, where i spawned at three valleys, but with all of my gear. Astounded i start to head north immediately to get back to camp, the server is lagging very bad so i sign into a new one. I run up an embankment and ther smack bang in the middle of a field is a tractor. I decide to take it to the factory south of polana as it is in desperate need of a few repairs, upon arrival at the factory something felt strange, on my approach i had spotted two offroad pickups' and a UAZ leaving the area, the whole place was barbed and sandbagged to the breeches, luckily i had a toolbox so was able to make my way in. I quickly found the parts i needed noticing that there were 3 tents spread around the factory. I got back to the tractor repaired it and was about to head off when i noticed i needed food, of which i had seen in the factory i headed back in and decided to check the tents (i assumed a clan had been farming parts with them) as i looked inside i just about fell in my chair, as they contained some of the best weapons in the game the full loot list is as follows: 2x saw's, 2x AS50's, 3x MP5SD's, 2x M4ACOG's 1x M14 2x tents many more and assorted ammo.I quickly moved everything into the tractor and headed north where i set up a new camp, hopefully waiting for me to salivate over again tomorrow.

Am I the luckiest player in the world?

Any other lucky stories?

I made a series of videos consisting of a week of gameplay in which my pal and I found camp after camp full of weapons, plus happening across vehicle after vehicle. There was a couple times where we ran out of gas and decided to abandon the vehicle only to go up the hill and find another one. It was a good week :D.

Here is part four of said series.

Struggled weeks to find a ghillie suit with my mate, we probably would have killed each other if we found one

So today we play on a polish server with another friend and all 3 get killed by a sniper (as50) while running full sprint through a forest, we expected him to cheat so we change to another (german) server. I spawn near Elektro, go to the school and find nothing but a crowbar. When suddenly I hear engine sounds. I take a look from the roof of the school and see a Ural truck coming from north, heading to the firestation near the power plant. I expect them to drive quickly through Elektro because it's too dangerous but suddenly I notice the engine stopped. I think to myself "well f**k it, you got nothing to lose" and make my way past the supermarket and head to the firestation. I spot the truck, it is parked next to the firestation, I can't see any survivors. My pulse rate accelerates to a trillion beats per minute the closer I get to the truck. I expect to be shot any second, but nothing happens.. the driver and any other passengers must be inside the firestation. I make my way to the truck, only armed with a crowbar (fitting equipment for a car thief), manage to get in and drive the f**k away as fast as I can. I'm not sure if there were gunshots, I was flooded with adrenaline. After like 392490 kilometres I finally dare to stop and take a look at what I got there. The truck was in perfect condition, but I was worried because it didn't have much fuel left.

I check the gear.. well there we have like 7 full jerry cans! And then I notice them, 4, I repeat FOUR ghillie suits in the truck. I never found one in the 3-4 weeks I played the game now and I was everywhere on the map, really everywhere. I don't know how that's possible, but I don't care, we all three have ghillie suits and one more as backup. And we have the truck. Life is good... :)

Plus there was:

1x AS50 (plenty ammo)

1x M107 (plenty ammo)

1x DMR (plenty ammo)

Plenty of: fuel tank parts, engine parts, rotor parts, tires, windscreen glasses, scrap metal, food and drinks, dragunov ammo, blood bags, morphine.

PS: If the "rightful owner" of the truck reads this, sorry mate. Opportunity makes the thief.

EDIT: Well f**k my life, due to the ghillie suit bug we all spawned without gear at the beach :D
