Not hackers nor city snipers..

So I will cry about the bandits in the hills instead.

They seem to be the main day enders for me at the moment.

I hate it when I got beef but die right next to the cow.

Get inland.

Kill the cow and quickly hide inside the body cavity.

Enjoy your new hide armor/disguise.

Don't stand still or use ladders in or near Electro or Cherno.

Do not run out in the open.

When running around without cover, do not do so prone (slow target, easy for snipers) or crouch-run/walk (still slow, but easier target for snipers).

Concealment (like bushes, wire fences, bodies or tall grass) does not stop a bullet. Cover (like brick walls, buildings or large rocks and sandbags) do. If you are spotted, and attempt to hide in or behind a bush, you will probably be shot.

Note: Your version of cover is different for a sniper on a hill. You might see a small road with buildings on both sides, covered in wrecked cars, sandbags and piles of rubble, but the sniper is looking down at you from the hill, negating the cover you might try to use. Sitting still, running in a straight line to or away from them, or trying to move slowly (prone/crouch) will get you killed.

Thanks for the tips, still have things to learn though this isn't a very serious cry.

I do head out to hunt and cook but eventually I just head back into a coastal city and see what happens.

I'm definitely my own worst enemy in this game, quality not quantity when it comes to dayz alive for me.

If you are going for a fun and engaging experience, you will die a lot. You won't rack up a lot of days alive. And that's okay.

To each their own. I perfer close to medium range weapons, so firefights tend to be quick, and many times I come out having taken a bullet or two. Sometimes, I die. But I have a lot of fun doing it.

I ALWAYS assume there are snipers camping the coastal cities. I try and make sure those hills aren't in my sight, because more than likely I'm not in those snipers sights.

Also, it's alot easier to hide from snipers in Cherno. Elektro's hard because everything you want is on the edge of the city in a compact area. Loot areas in Cherno are bit more spread out around the city.

I agree. The snipers on the hills above cities are the easiest players to avoid I think.

I find I die more often just minding my own business inland a little when I let my guard down and it's not normally by sniper fire.
