map usage + item location

[Godip 1]

hello everyone,

I'm having the time of my life in dayz! just found a dead body in cherno with lots of goood stuff :D (didn't kill him!)

So i still have some questions and would like to ask you them:

1- how do i use the map? Is it possible to see myself there? and what is the players option?

2- where can i find some M6 ammunition (found one in cherno :D) ?looked everywhere but didn't find any ammo!

3- where can i find some nice sniper/ghillie suit?

Thank you so much for the help! Still getting the hang of this game and i prevent using a real loot map so i dont really spoil it!

Thanks in advance again,

Godip

Do you have a GPS?

[Godip 1]

yes i do :)

scroll in on your map, you will see squares and numbers.

the first three digits are for the numbers up and down on your GPS

the last three for the numbers left and right.

also when you do (right) Control + M your GPS is toggled on your main screen.

Good luck.

p.s. What the h*ll is an M6? Shouldn't be in the game.

snipers are kind of rare beside the as50... check on your map and head NW to the airfield rarest stuff up there

CTRL+M press it and see the gps appear like a GTA gps on the right of your screen while first or third person (not while looking at the map itself)

Hi, welcome to dayz.

Don't go anywhere near the NW airfield until you know what you're doing - it's far too dangerous. Check out deerstands for high military grade weapons and ammo. Fire stations in elektro and cherno are good but dangerous too. Everyone wants those weapons and ammos.

Ghillies, I always find in the cafe across the road from the store in elektro.

What you see on a map can depend on the server you're on. For example, you can hold down left shift and and right click a location on your map, while looking at the map. If you're on a recruit or regular server a green marker appears on your screen when you turn off map. So you know what direction and how far to travel. But it won't show on veteran servers.

Good luck. :thumbsup:
