Hysterics 26 Posted August 28, 2012 I've found and repaired two Ural Civilians now, great trucks, but both times I've hid them they're gone by the next day... I hide them in obscure places and spend a lot of time doing so, so it's really frustrating... I hear about people who make bases out of their vehicles that actually last a long time but I've had zero luck every time... I save the vehicle like a dozen times before I leave it...Anyways I just want advice on areas that I can hide stuff, or how to actually make some progress lol... I've had Nightvision three times, GPS twice, silenced cco M4s.. tons of rare good loot, but I can't ever back any of it up for when I die, cause it's inevitable haha... I only play on low pop servers, like under 10 people, and I stillll run into hackers regularly.... Can anyone maybe suggest good servers? The thing is I've been told to go to newer servers for vehicles, because more are left to spawn and not stashed away by other players, but it's hard to find a new server with an established admin...Anyways I love this game, regearing isn't a big deal, it's just frustrating that there's nothing to work towards. I had my one Ural filled up with about a dozen guns including an AS50 ( I just don't really like carrying them around for general use... ) and I had like 25 cooked meat saved up at one point too in there, and like 10 water bottles shit like that, was starting to save up parts to repair other vehicles... Anyways, any advice is appreicated.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g12oome@hotmail.com 6 Posted August 28, 2012 It doesn't matter, a hacker can find them no matter where you put them.. As soon as your 'base' has any decent vechile there, it'll get trashed, atleast thats my experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sostronk 334 Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) Depends on the server. I used to play with a clan and the amount of action that happened with bases was insane. I honestly don't bother with vehicles, they are too big a target. If your going to make a "base" I seriously wouldn't put more than one tent up. Any more and your going to end up getting griefed. If you put more than one up, spread them out by like 3kms. Larger amounts tend to get "griefed" pretty quickly, whilst single tents seem to be left alone. People will find and tents or vehicles you have, its just a matter of time. The map is way too small to hide them.Although, one thing Ive noticed just recently and I don't know how they are doing it, but some people are pitching tents inside rocks. The just have the end of a tent pointing out of the rock whilst 90% is inside the rock. Probably the best hid tents in the game, wish I knew how to do it.Also this:It doesn't matter, a hacker can find them no matter where you put them.. As soon as your 'base' has any decent vechile there, it'll get trashed, atleast thats my experience.I presume you know hackers can identify any tent/vehicle on the map. This is why I mostly only leave stuff in tents they don't want, like food and water. I carry the main things I don't want to lose with me.

Hysterics 26 Posted August 28, 2012 I've been led to believe that tents are incredibly unreliable at holding loot though, vehicles seem to be the only option? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You just look at it, open up the gear, say pitch tent (it wont work) then just shuffle about continuously right clicking then pitching tent and just taking baby steps around, it will pitch there sooner or later.. Never taken me more than 20 seconds to get one up inside a tree, haven't tried rocks, but don't imagine its any different..I've been led to believe that tents are incredibly unreliable at holding loot though, vehicles seem to be the only option?Yes, they are, atleast in my experience..

SumoS 168 Posted August 28, 2012 Both are unreliable due to bugs in 1.7.2.5. Tents can only save in original states and vehicles will reappear in previous positions after restarts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
