I really need a sniper rifle

[herrjon 478]

Two times today I've been scoping out a town from the treeline with my binos and spotted players in town, 300-400m away.

First one was a relatively fresh spawn in Cherno, standing at the top of some winding staircase in the factory area, scoping out the treeline with his binos. I'm not sure of the name of the building, but he was very open and vulnerable. If I had a rifle I could've fired a warning shot to scare him into getting cover. Not gonna kill for a Makarov and maybe some beans.

Second I was on Dobryy hill checking out the northern firehouse, and Elektro in general. Watched as a guy agroed some zeds, fired shots, agroed more zeds, and went into the firehouse to hide, of all places. He loses them and goes up the tower for loot, then I see another player just show up (probably prone in a corner) from the top floor and take him out. He stood over the body a number of times, in between zeds showing up, and it would've been a piece of cake sniping from that range (350m). If I had a rifle I could've avenged the death of the first stranger, and taken all the loot.

I know where they are, they are just never there. I can only hope I finally get a good deerstand loot. I've been to over 20 of them and the only military thing I ever found was a G17, and I guess ammo I'd never get to use.

Find a crashed chopper

Find a crashed chopper

Any tips on where to find one? I know fields, but I spent a good deal of time up North, didn't see anything.

Find a heli crash site and you'll be set!

Edit:

Maybe they have an online DayZ map that shows crash site spawn locations? If not maybe check an air field or just out in an open field, as they won't be in the forests.

A pretty easy sniper to find in my opinion is the Cz 550. They'll be on the top loft in barns, so check all barns you see!

I just make a route from Vybor, to Kabanino then to Stary then back to Vybor to the airfield, I normally find a crashed helicopter, I rarely dont.

any barn/farm warehouse will provide you with a cz550. You might need to search a bit, but you'll find one.

I found today an ak kobra an a pdw on a deer stand. the 2 at the same time, first time that i get 2 weapons in one.

And on heli sites i keep getting fn fals for some reason. really annoying cos i'm after an l85 and no luck whatsoever.

I concur, that seems to be the best area.

I've found DMRs in Elektro fire station, lol. I've bee to the NW airfield and found nothing better than an AKM before too though. Finding good weapons can just be luck unfortunately...

I'd recommend checking the NW airfield and the some of the surrounding deer stands. You'll be unlucky if you don't find a decent weapon.

I must just have terrible luck then as far as sniper rifles are concerned. I've been in probably every barn and deerstand I've been near since I started playing, no snipers. I have gotten other good stuff of course, so it's not that bad, just wish I had something to deal with people from a distance.

On a side note, how accurate is the AKM at a distance? I noticed it had zeroing at decent range, preset to 300, but I never trusted it enough to try it.

Oh how i would enjoy, if i would get somebody on my scope while they are having binoculars on xD

Found a DMR in the deerstands at the military tent camp near Balota airstrip. Sadly I died from a bad zombie aggro 5 minutes later and I swapped it for an AKS in an attempt to save myself and when I got back to my body it had despawned cause it was on the ground.
