TGH 160 Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) Hey, not sure if this is the correct section but it seemed the most relevant. I'm currently working on a Video (Guide) On how to become geared up the fastest with the best gear in DayZ and to get yourself geared up enough to take on the bandits at the NW Airfield.From my experiences the top steps to get geared up this way would be:1. (Spawned) Find the closest barn/factories and locate an axe/gun and grab any food/drink supplies that you can.2. Make your way to the nearest city Cherno, Electro or Berezino (High to low risk) and grab an alice pack from a supermarket whilst stocking the bag up with food/drink from nearby bars/buildings.3. If you haven't already, find a map as this will be needed.4. Stock your bag up with Medical supplies such as 3 Blood bags/2 Morphines from the Hospital.5. Check the firestations for perhaps an AK or M4.6. View an online map and make your way from helecoptor spawn to helecoptor spawn (Whilst looting deer stands) This is the best way to locate Ghillie suits/Nightvision and some of the best weapons in the game.7. Once you've finished gearing up at these helecoptor sites Head to NW Airfield and take on those bandits!This is how I'd do it.If you guys had to create "Steps" to become geared up and ready to fight what would your steps be? Is there anything you disagree with or something you'd add onto my guide?*EDIT**EDIT**EDIT*Thanks for all of your advice, I've already made the video ;) Edited August 19, 2012 by TGH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thefonztm@gmail.com 86 Posted August 17, 2012 I disagree. My method (works best on sidechat servers): Spawn.Locate an axe, double barrel, makarov, and as much ammo as you can carry.Get to cherno. Climb the tallest building.Declare yourself the guardian of cherno.Spot survivors. Ask them questions/riddles. If they answer correctly. They may pass.Incorrect or no response, unleash hell from the top of the building until you are out of ammo. Then climb down and axe them.This gets me tons of laughs as they run from my completely ineffective shooting. If they altf4, I note the name. Next time I see then, I stalk them for a guarenteed kill. 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thefonztm@gmail.com 86 Posted August 17, 2012 I do it for the laughs. Plus, someone needs to inject a little insanity into the game. It's a zombie apocalypse. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buffjesus 357 Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) this is a shit wayspawn in chernogo get an alice / food /drink / mapgo to zeleno, grab one of the bikes. or hop at the white truck spawn west of zeleno then fix it upstart driving along the west forest line and hillsfind tent citybecome geared out with non shit items / most likely find more vehiclesbut ofc your way is "funner" Edited August 17, 2012 by Buffjesus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't really agree tbh lol. I dont find it too easy to get a bike nowadays and I don't think its guarenteed to find "Camp city" every time. I think my method would be more guarenteed. But that way can work aswell I guess. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But to be the safest you can be and for the AVERAGE person rofl I'd say my way is much more genuine lmao. If you had ultra bad luck like myself, you'd get shot by the helecoptor mini gun STRAIGHT AWAY when they see you on that building. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DR@GON (DayZ) 20 Posted August 17, 2012 every ghillie / camo clothes item I've found has been from apartment buildings or guard shacks... I wouldnt call them common, but I find them a better place to look for one that a chopper crash (from my experience)... I've found many chopper crashes and I'm yet to find NVGs or clothing at them. (not saying they don't spawn them) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(not saying they don't spawn them)This is true you're more likley to find them in residential buildings because there is so many of them around. But there is a higher spawn rate at a Helecoptor site for one. Edited August 17, 2012 by aYdee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TGH 160 Posted August 17, 2012 Looked it up. 0.2% at residential buildings and 2% at a Heli site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prion 61 Posted August 17, 2012 I'd say more like this. 1. Get proficient with the common weapons, and throwing grenades, and M203 launchers in the simulator. 2. Spawn, then locate nearest deer stand to get a decent gun, then hit a city. 3. Sneak up on snipers, take all their gear. remember, aiming is OP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Practice with the guns first in ARMA 2 Training because what is the point of getting those guns in DayZ if you suck with them :P Thanks for that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NotYou 13 Posted August 17, 2012 Survival RPG game? Nope. KOS FPS game. YES.Why do people even pretend this is anything but an FPS shooter... with the minor nuisance of zombies thrown in. All zombies do is make it easier top know if another player is nearby.Oh look zombies spwaned up ahead and we're too far away to spawn them. Someone must be there, lets camp them. Rinse and repeat.

TGH 160 Posted August 19, 2012 1 - get any gun.2 - Go to electro sniper hill.3 - hop until you hear someone sniping.4 - You have completed DayZ, congrats.Yeah you can do that of course :) But I wouldn't consider that "Completing" the game until you've found everything yourself and experienced actually finding the items where they are spawned. Just my opinion :) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
