Bramacgar 5 Posted July 26, 2012 I'm carrying 4 water bottles right now. Is that too excessive? How many would you recommend holding? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thehumandove 344 Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) I stick to one water bottle, and a couple pops to keep me going. My friend holds 3 though. Personal preference I suppose Edited July 26, 2012 by Caz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buyatchaka 5 Posted July 26, 2012 4 is enough. Just keep drinking the sodas whenever you find any. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suzie (DayZ) 13 Posted July 26, 2012 I never get more than 1 water bottle. You'll find plenty of soda's along the way, use your water bottle for emergencies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raxx 8 Posted July 26, 2012 I usually carry 1, I pass by a lot of ponds and water sources on my travels so 1 is all I need. Just drink and refill whenever you reach any water.If anything, 2 would be the most I ever carry just as a backup.You can always carry 4 and dump any when you come across something more valuable.

Disgraced 1123 Posted July 26, 2012 Use your empty water bottle for "emergencies"....I'm currently carrying four, but I'm on extended camp and hunting duty up north in the Mystery Machine.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alpo 38 Posted July 26, 2012 I usually carry one in my inventory and 2 in my backpack. After drinking 2 canteens I start planning my next water-mission if I was not able to re-fill somewhere along the way. I drink sodas whenever I see one laying around but I don't pick them up. Same goes for beans. I prefer having cooked meat in my inventory. Besides, popping cans aggros players. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[Gen]Adzic 241 Posted July 26, 2012 I carry two, one on me and one in the bag. To find soda you must enter buildings heightening chance of zed/player ambush, to fill water bottles you just go to a safe pond. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dazed 80 Posted July 26, 2012 Myself and my clan all carry 3, more than that is a waste of space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpiderJerusalem 3 Posted July 26, 2012 Emergency one in backpack plus my regular one. Never use either though because i eat & drink every other thing i see. You need more if you're avoiding towns, otherwise you find plenty of sodas.Speaking of sodas, i still haven't seen a Mountain Dew! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alderous (DayZ) 16 Posted July 26, 2012 One is too much. I used to carry one or two until I realised I don't actually use them. Now I just carry one or two soda cans and drink any I find. I've never found myself losing blood because of thirst. If I cant find any I simply shoot zombie farmers - they very often have soda cans and canned food.

smithy0815 6 Posted July 26, 2012 When you have all gear you want out of the towns, and you want live in the woods forever then take 3-4 with you. With 3.4 bottles you can cross the map without leaving the woods till you find another water source.No need to visit urban area again then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thortimer 37 Posted July 26, 2012 I carry two, one on me and one in the bag. To find soda you must enter buildings heightening chance of zed/player ambush, to fill water bottles you just go to a safe pond.I always notice players around me by the sound of opening a soda can. Just chugging them inside the building is about the worst thing you can do if you don't know the extent of your surrounding (i.e. always in this game).

Flambo (DayZ) 50 Posted July 26, 2012 I always notice players around me by the sound of opening a soda can. Just chugging them inside the building is about the worst thing you can do if you don't know the extent of your surrounding (i.e. always in this game).This actually happens if you chug one ever. Or eat food, break a leg, or get low enough blood that you scream. As soon as another player gets close to you, he hears all of the noises you've made in your current session, one at a time, in order. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bjorn9486 9 Posted July 26, 2012 Only ever carry one water bottle, and everytime I run by a water source, I'll drink from it and fill it again even if I'm still green and I've never had a dehydration problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
