First Successful Raid on Stary

[TFCxAddict 4]

I'm more of a noob than a lot of people, but I still have experience.

I started with an ALICE pack, fucktons of food and drinks, an AKM, and around 3 mags for it.

I left the mountain between Elektro and Cherno at around 4 AM server time.

I finally got to Stary (VERY carefully) around 5 am server time. Why did it take so long? Because I constantly monitored exactly where I was, how many zombies there were, and listened closely for gunshots.

So, I stayed in the forest right next to the military tents for around 5-10 minutes, making sure there was nobody that had their crosshairs on me. Then, I went in.

Now I have a fuckton times 3 of food and drinks, as well as around 10 AKM mags. I was actually happy I didn't find another weapon there besides an AK-74 and a Remmington w /flashlight because I love my AKM :P (one shots zombies still)

I got out without attracting 1 zombie. Why is this such a great feat in my eyes? Well, maybe because the last time I went to stary I killed two people and was thinking I could raid the camp alive, and then when I walked out of the tent, 2-3 snipers started completely loading me with bullets.

Now I have a question, should I go to the NW Airfield? I've actually never gone there before, but I do know the right place(s) to raid. I know it's more dangerous than running through Cherno in plain daylight (which I've done successfully before xD), but is the loot worth it?

I do both all the time, just don't stop moving. You'll be fine.

yeah go for it man, you might get some better loot, don't count on it though (I have been many times only to find AKMs and chemlights).

just keep moving and remember the most southern barracks will have a chair blocking the entrance, make sure to crouch walk over it and not to try and vault it, I did the latter on my first visit and got destroyed by zombies.

I think on populated servers cherno and elektro are actually more dangerous than the NW Airfield lol. I've waited at the NW Airfield for a while and seen only a couple people. I ventured down the Cherno/Elektro in the first time for a few weeks and wow... It seems everyone on the server is there. All the hackers and dupers making tents in the forests between the two cities and snipers galore. If you want a good time head back down and check the hills ;)
