Allie (DayZ) 97 Posted August 9, 2012 Hi all,I have been playing this game for months now, but i still have never found any nightvision, GPS, Thermalscoped riffle, car, chopper, bike or whatever cool stuff.Is it just me or is the good stuff limited to a specific amount beeing on the map ?Do all these bandit groups collect all the good stuff and does new stuff just not spawn because there is enough of it on the map ?After all these months, the game is really beginning to bore me beyond belief.I have been everywhere on the map, looted shitloads of dearstands, have been to the barracs for maybe 10 times now, i never find anything cool.Surviving is not that hard anymore, fooling the zombies is getting more like a sport, evading other players is no problem anymore, i just would like to find some chopper or car, or just a thermal scoped riffle will give me some new play impuls, but the stuff is just not to find.What am i doing wrong ?Is playing solo in this game just not the thing to do ?I'm now playing the game on Lingor island to at least have some new surroundings.I'm sort of done with the game so to speak.Anybody have any idea or insiration for me ?I normally need 30 minutes to get enough stuff to start traveling around the map. Staying alive seems not to be the problem either anymore, my average is a couple of days now, record is 19 days and 919 zombie kills, 1 bandit killed and no murders.I'M JUST BORED HELP ME !Greetings,Allie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charb 298 Posted August 9, 2012 Stuff stolen from tents:Night Vision Goggles 15+SVD camo 1l85A2 AWS 1GPS stolen 4GPS found 0Rangefinder found 0Ghillie suits found 0NVG found 2crash sites found 30+car spawns found 1 (offroad truck)cars stolen? pretty extensive...thats 2 solid months playing... problem is most "decent" items only spawn in barracks, and of course... you know how that goes... stealing items isn't as rewarding as finding it yourself. I just barely got my first ghillie suit as a gift from my friend. Alot of these items shouldn't be common so i can appreciate the challenge, but I feel your frustration.

FrankFisher 46 Posted August 9, 2012 The 'good stuff' is always hard to find for a reason because they are rare. You either loot other players or hit up military loot and heli crash sites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damo 4 Posted August 9, 2012 Hey, know you posted this to find out where to find items and I agree with the Charb & tbh most of our clans stuff has been found in ludicrous tent cities of duped items, my skype real name is Damien Cabrol, can send you the map reference coordinates for some tents I left after a thunderdome hit the server at the north west airfield, their you can find night vision, gps, ghillie suit, satchel charges L85, M4SD etc. :) as long as your not a dick and don't take everything then its cool man. Been playing for a few months now and your best bet other than this is to head north and just wander through the woods on a few servers, I keep stumbling over tent cities when i've got no compass or anything. also just beyond the small inlet of water extremely north east is a great place to go for vehicles, every numpty and their mum seems to hide stuff their :) hope this helps and other than that good luck finding stuff once you get sniped with our shit > goddamn everyone has an AS50 or M107 at the moment, wish they would do and total server/character wipe if you ask me as the hacker/dupe situation is rather out of hand (not that I haven't taken advantage, but I would trade starting from scratch for dealing with all the pussies that wander back to cherno/electro with .50 cal rifles anyday) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ALiborio 13 Posted August 9, 2012 Heli crashes are the only place I've found any of the elusive "good gear". Found NVG on a previous life and found a DMR and L85 (thermal scope) on this life.Although the barracks are supposed to have the best loot I've barely found anything good in them, if there is ever a gun there it's usually just standard military loot like an AK or M4 or Remington.Only vehicle I've found was a random tractor, in some bushes. Not sure if someone tried hiding it or something but I didn't bother driving it.I feel you though on getting bored. During my current life I'm just basically looking for GPS, NVG, and Range finder to complete my gear. Not having much luck finding them.You could also try to killing well geared players for their loot, although being solo it may be hard to take on someone in a group, but I did find pretty decent gear on 2 victims of a helicopter accident so other players often have the good gear.

decoman 45 Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) I found a gps in a firestation earlier and yesterday I found a Ghillie suit in an appartement complex (the one with several floors).Wish I could find a damn compass now :D (for sake of convenience, I usually navigate with the help of the map) Edited August 9, 2012 by Treehugger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Daem 15 Posted August 9, 2012 I found a tent the other day, in Cherno, behind the firestation.Although it didn't have any NVG or anything of HIGH value in it, it did have a map and an ak.Probably not that top of the range for veteran players, but for me it was like "WOOOWWW"" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uzilara 1 Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) look for helicopter crashes i would say...a friend & i found 2 days in a row a crashed helicopter, first one "only" had abundant medical supplies but the 2nd one had a L85A2 AWS (NV and thermal scope), an FN FAL and a M249 SAW with 3 ammo boxes each box containing 200 bullets, so we were pretty exctatic after that, certainely because i was still running around with a hatchet.If you play solo i can imagine those helicopter crash site can be a challenge due to the number of zombies and the fast respawn rate but they are definately worth it.

PoisonedAl 128 Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) Don't be in such a rush to get good gear. Like now I have all the stuff I need to hunt for and cook meat, carry water and patch myself up. I can stay in the woods for weeks and never go near a settlement ever again. Before I was forced into town due to hunger or thirst, now I can care-bare it up like a champ. I only raid when I want to because I have no reason to stick my neck out. Therefore hunting for rare stuff is my only real goal this life. Once I got it? Snipe people like a jerk until I die I guess.

ScottyTheEngineer 47 Posted August 9, 2012 You might want to look for crashed helis. Good places to start would be around Stary/Novy Sobor or between Polana and Gorka. I have found 4 crash sites yesterday and 6 the day before (~10 hrs of playing combined) and have found pretty decent gear: 1x AS50, 1x L85, 2x M249, some FALs, DMRs, M14s and medical stuff. Unfortunatelly no NVGs :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
