FINALLY got to Devil's Castle

[herrjon 478]

So after my latest east coast spawn, I finally went though Berezino, NE Airstrip, Krasnostav, and finally visited Devil's Castle, my last castle to see. I didn't get much loot since I was pretty much set after the airstrip, but I got lunch and some CZ550 ammo. It's a very cool place and would be a nice setting for some PvP. Just a question though, you're only able to go in the one spire correct? I saw 3 but only could find an entrance to the one.

Now it's off to NW Airfield to hopefully get some cool guns to bring back to camp. Any tips on the best way to approach it solo from that position?

If you're soloing the NWAF from the west it's best to hit the hole in the fence halfway up the westside, from there there's about 200 meters to the barracks, you can hit the barracks in about a minute, I usually head out the way I came, cut through the wooded area south and west and hit the other barracks. You can hit the fire station and Hangers but that takes a lot of time and leaves you open to snipers and server hoppers. If you do it right you can be there and gone in about 10 minutes.

Approach from the north, most people will be approaching from the south and west. You will also be closest to the crashed heli spawn on the airstrip.

You can also see down the sides of the east and west walls. Anybody approaching from those directions will have to end up at the wall eventually.

Try going there at a nighttime server and placing a map marker at the barracks so that you can find your way in the dark.

Do you mean east? I at Devil's Castle right now, NE of the Airfield.

Western approach means coming from the east yes. I did mess that up, sorry.

:D

Molotov's way is more cautious, mine is faster, up to you.

Sweet, thanks you two, hope I get something good :)

Just FYI, there are a ton of Heli Crash Sites east of Devil's Castle, and they're usually untouched because of the lack of High Value Targets, if you have a vehicle it might pay to check those instead of or in addition to hitting the airfield.

So, got to the north barracks, picked up a M4A3 CCO and one mag. Was going to go check out the firehouse and control tower, and maybe see if I could find some downed choppers, I got the fire house and looked up to the tower, Gillie suit player on top. I turned and fled. Circled around, got to the south barracks, just found another STANAG mag and a silenced one, and an M9SD for my PDW. Didn't see any downed choppers.

So, a few things. If I load the silenced ammo, will it be silenced, or at least quieter? And the server I was on recently reset, does it take a little bit for downed choppers to spawn after a reset?

Zombies will respond to subsonic ammunition as if it were fired from an SD weapon. It does however have lower muzzle v, and players will be able to hear it as if it were the genuine article. M4A3 CCO is a good find though, especially if you don't have NVG's.

Downed helicopters are spawned randomly in the spawn objects phase of a server start-up. They never respawn* gear. For a full map check South Coast Bean Wars, it's not perfectly precise but most crashes should be within 200-300 meters of their position on that map.

*so if they are hit, and everything is taken, it's gone, there will never be anything else there, unless you pull it off the zombies
