Mourek 40 Posted July 26, 2012 if you're going tent hunting in the north you should always carry atleast 5 water bottles. otherwise 1-2 are fine.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Worrun (DayZ) 108 Posted July 26, 2012 Should be able to have 10 drinks from a water bottle. You look at those things IRL and they are like 1.5 litres. Who the fuck drinks one and a half litres in 1? Lolol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noobfun 87 Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) 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. thats because youve never done the deadzone run, across the edge of the map searching for camps/vehiclesthe closest water sources are pretty much 3-4k from the edge, thats why i always carry 3, 2 to travel and 1 to get me to the next water hole Edited July 26, 2012 by stuffnthings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toleranceispain 0 Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) Why are people saying drink soda's and use the water bottle last? Makes more sense to use the thing that can be refilled first, and save the others for last. Edited July 26, 2012 by toleranceispain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CommodoreFrank 13 Posted July 26, 2012 I like to carry two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eonshikeno 14 Posted July 26, 2012 I like two if I have a good team, and then 1 extra if I feel I will need to support some noobs on the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Armas 9 Posted July 26, 2012 I've only done solo so far, but I run with:4x water bottles3x painkillers3x morphine4x bandageAfter that I fill the rest of my slots (after ammo and 2nd weapon in backpack) with as much meat as I can carry for those instant 1k->12k blood moments when shit hits the fan. Toss meat out when I need room for loot.Yeah.. I'm a bit paranoid I guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Riku (DayZ) 0 Posted July 26, 2012 I personally always drink my bottle first and keep 1 soda can. With a map it's easy to find water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Abruz 12 Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) I normally have one water bottle and an emergency can/water bottle in my bag. I normally navigate around and find water pumps/ponds/wells etc to refill my water bottle without touching the one in my bag therefore I'd have a constant supply of water. I'd rather ensure my needs are met safely than storm into a town for canned drinks and get shot. If I can't get to a water source by the time my character is thirsty, I can consume the emergency one and buy more time. Also, if you happen to be in towns and are generally looting then it's a good idea to just grab a can off the floor and satisfy your thirst meter for the time being without tapping into your own supplies.If you make it so drinking and filling at water sources is a habit, it's a pretty useful/safe habit to have.

Aisa 3 Posted July 27, 2012 Oh wow... now I know to use my water bottles for emergencies. :o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
syndicatefaction 118 Posted July 27, 2012 My group and myself use an average of 3. There are plenty of ponds around to refill, so no need to take any risks for a soda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Dow 21 Posted July 27, 2012 I've got five right now, but I generally pick up any I find so I can give them to friends. I'd drop a few if I found anything more valuable than a water bottle or anything else in my inventory, but so far I haven't needed to do so. I'd say just grab the ones you find and drop them later if you need to. Water bottles aren't rare, but they're sure as hell valuable. Too many is better than not enough. And again, it's not like you don't have the option to drop them if you find something better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Littleassassin2 73 Posted July 27, 2012 Speaking of sodas, i still haven't seen a Mountain Dew!I got one, sadly i died and lost it last night after a showdown with a group of russians when we happened to stumble upon their encampment in the middle of the Krasnostav Airfield Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Verril1 1 Posted July 28, 2012 I normally carry 2 water bottles, if you have any soda drink them first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Combine (DayZ) 247 Posted July 28, 2012 Three right now. That is more or less okay-ish if you're roughly in an area with a permanent water source. I may get one more, but not more unless I find a patrol pack, or whatever the biggest one is called. Rest of space is used for medicine, ammo, meat, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
