Avean (DayZ) 31 Posted July 23, 2012 There are zombies there and there is usually people there. I died at a castle on a server with 5 players including me. What are the odds huh :PUsually u can find binoculars there and maybe weapons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blinkerty 8 Posted July 23, 2012 they can be a hotspot sometimes, and zombies will most likely be there too, make sure you have a weapon the risk should more or less go, like it does for most other places, the only thing to watch out for is that they can be frequently visited however i personally haven't run into anyone there. Good luck and have fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted July 23, 2012 I never had any problems with castles until the other day when our team got ambushed by 5 players at Zub. We ended up stuck at the top in a stand off. We made our way down and then 2 of them gosted to the top of the tower to trick us, bastards. We killed them all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NightRipper 284 Posted July 23, 2012 Up until the last patch, castles were a good (i.e. relatively safe) place to find camo and ghillie suits, so they usually had a decent amount of foot-traffic. Currently both of these items are not dropping in-game, so it's not an issue until this is fixed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bitey 10 Posted July 23, 2012 When alone, avoid Devils Castle. Usually there are lots of bandits inbetween the "Stari Sobor- NW Airfield - Devils Castle Triangle" if the server is high populated. Personally i think the loot is not worth the approach. Weapons spawn in Deer Stands and civilian weapons like Makarov, Crossbows, Double Barrel Shotgun and Winchester spawn in Barns and Houses.

treshold82 28 Posted July 23, 2012 Castles are residential loot so if not having a picnic trip why bother? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
