CSI NW Airfield (UK182)

[Gogster (DayZ) 626]

Had a quick scoot around the NW airfield this morning - my quest for night vision goggles continues without success.

Managed to check the NE barracks, fire station, ATC and the hangars - not a sausage. The hangars are particularly problematic. I hate crawling in front of them as it makes you such an easy target for any snipers across the way, a fast crouch walk or sometimes even a slow crouch walk seems to pull zombies out the front. This happened and the buggers were still running inside the hanger, one swift zombie haymaker and my leg was broken. Luckily I had morphine to remedy the situation.

Worked my way round the the SW barracks and come across 4 dead players. At first I thought one was alive as he'd died standing up, looking down the corridor - there was a zombie on the other side of the wall which I think must have taken him out through it.

There was a body in the first room on the left, one in the second and one in the fourth. None of them had anything special, AKM's and an Enfield, bit of drink and food - they looked like relatively new spawns.

So if the guy stood up had dispatched the 3 in the rooms, why would he stay by the window/wall, there was blood, food and epi-pens in the barracks...

Given the kit the guys had, they looked liked relatively new spawns - I guess people must spawn on the beach and make their way up through towns, picking up supplies and weapons as they go to get to the airfield for the juicy stuff.

My quest for night vision goggles continues...

Don't bother crawling anywhere at the NW airfield. Just sprint all the time you are there. Run the Z's into the fire station when you have to many to handle. Then run out the back door and continue looting.

IMO its on of the easiest places to go for not having to worry about Z's. There may be a lot of them but they are so easy to lose.

Players are the only issue

I've already started to come round to your way of thinking. All the time I'm crawling I'm thinking "what a lovely slow target I make!"

Yes, crawling = certain death if other players are there. If you are running and being watched by snipers, they won't fire as they will miss and give away position. Always make sure when you are looting that you cannot be hit. take cover
