What do you do when you got gear?

[DannyFilming 250]

I started in elektro last night and went through it quickly. at the fire station i found everything i needed, a silenced machine gun, m1911, food, water, bandages, everything i would need. Then I headed out of town but I foudn myself a little bored and just went back into town to look for trouble.

What do you usually do when you've got good supplies?

[LukeSkywalkers 31]

I go to an airfield or scavenge some cities and then get shot.

depends on the 'gear' if its just gear from cherno/elecktro you need to hed up north and hit up military bases airfields and deer stands. then you get 'better gear' to where you can then

1)build a car

2)hunt heli crash sites

3) go on a mass murder spree until you die and start over agian

[Recidivist (DayZ) 2]

Get killed by hackers.

[Frozen (DayZ) 144]

i usually go to nwaf to get myself killed by sniper, or some other dbag, and start again.or i just play another game.

the game by itself is to damn easy, and players are the ONLY source of threat

[BigFatJohnSon 16]

I kill Zeds

1. Go to the general discussion thread, not the suggestions ;)

2. Kill people or raid military bases. If you survive the bases by some miracle of god, maraud thru cherno till u die ;)

Tip-The silenced guns are okay, but ammo is really scarce and they take many shots to kill. I had a silenced MP5 and it took 5 shots to kill a zombie once. IDK why. They are good for city hunting tho.

[outlawxxable 10]

GRAB a lee enfield and kill everyone...

[ChinWooMan 34]

I go hunt down people in the Airfields and get more items for my camp. Hey, they do the same it's not my fault they made me a monster.

[DannyFilming 250]

where do you set up camp? how? why?

[BlaBlaSoldier 16]

Set up a tent and make it full of weapons untill someone loots it.

[d2tz 3]

Go to Cherno or Elektro and kill people until i die and do it all again ;)

This is the suggestions section for DayZ, not for topics or discussions like these.

Anyways, right now what I would do when I get good gear is help out the newfags at chernogorsk by killing bandits and covering them from zeds, collect more gear and give away weapons in exchange for certain things I could use, basically encouraging trade. Doing this since killing random helpless people has gotten boring, nothing better than killing bandits and giving away their gear to the needy. lol.

This is such an important question. The question of a man with a conscience. Maybe.

Would it be beneath you to seek out noobs.....and help them?

Act as a big brother, or guardian angel for a while?

I say that because that's what happened to me a couple of times. Some lightly armed players, probably noobs who didn't know what else to do, actually showed me some kindness. Helped kill Z's and let me on my way.

I've also found immense satisfaction in giving away excess items to players.

No words exchanged. Just a mutual understanding that we were playing DayZ and that sometimes, as I keep saying, it's about the little things.

If you find it not too much of a challenge to gather up gear quickly, then entertain the idea of grabbing a buddy and maybe helping out some folks.

I can't guarantee it will be positive, but then again, this whole thing is one big social experiment.

Good luck out there.
