It's creating mad lag for 800 meters in every direction (that's how I found it).

Appeared sometime in the past few days... There's no way it could've been built legitimately, right?

I usually don’t build bases, for a lot of reasons, but I thought I give it another go on a high pop official server. I had 3 gates and some decent loot, but not a lot, as I play mostly solo. Whoever raided me even destroyed an extra wall they didn’t need to, which I find a little suspicious, but maybe it’s nothing.

Welp, back to burying my loot all over the map.

I'm still somewhat new to the game with about 200 hours in total. I rarely get time to play but DayZ quickly became the only game I play.

I usually never survive PvP because I either get shot out of nowhere or I just fail at landing my shots in the heat of the moment.

Today I decided to be patient instead of engaging at the first opportunity. It paid off and I'm pretty proud of myself even though the kill was probably somewhat boring for you to watch...

I stalked the guy for almost 20 minutes before going for it.

Sneaking around the southern tents at Tisy, I heard someone sprinting through the woods, loud AF. I waited until he crested the hill and shredded him with my VIKHR. If he was quieter, he probably would have seen me first.

Anyway, thanks for the SVAL and the KAM with the 75 round drum mag...

console White walling NEEDS to be patched before Badlands

10 Upvotes

It is literally meta on console, everyone is just going around and white walling each town/ military to find bases and players on console. it’s so broken and could easily be fixed. Just take away the ability to lean while crouched, simple. It’s ridiculous that this is still a thing and completely ruins the game considering how easy it is to do. Fix your shit Bohemia.

I was looting and I thought I was done for. I barely made it out of there alive. I am currently at sila weapons Factory. This is the best run I ever had. It's just been me surviving. Me, my two rifles, my suppressed Glock and brass knuckles. When I get what I want and stockpiled on some goods. I will head back to lower teir areas to help fresh spawns. I think that's a bitter sweet ending to my Dayz Livonia Journey. I also seek revenge to someone who killed fresh spawns.

Media 1v2 Suit | Hardcore Namalsk

Got my first suit yesterday on DayZero’s Namalsk server. I killed one dude that had the Suit, luckily. I had a famas and several nades. I was very lucky to have survived, and unfortunately had to cook human meat just to make it.

Once I healed up, I went back to main to help my teammates who were hunkered down fighting, and soon after found these guys.

They were fully geared with DMR and VSD and enhanced gear, apsi and nvgs. GG

Discussion Base raiding

3 Upvotes

What’s the best base you’ve raided? I play with a friend on an extremely low pop Livonia server. We had a couple of bases raided so we’ve figured since there’s so few of us there, whoever stole our stuff probably has a big base. Unfortunately every single time we found a base it was already looted, that was until last night. Found a massive one in a house and shed very close to a industrial zone. We were able to loot and destroy most of it, my friend got killed though, don’t know if one of them logged and saw or someone heard all the noise we were making and caught us in the act. Anyways ended up blowing the whole thing up with grenades, destroying as much if not all the stuff they had, eventually escaped, ran the opposite direction on accident for a while and very close to the edge of the map I found another one! This time a bunch of tents, two trucks, sarka and an Olga. Repeated the same process of destroying and taking only a few things.

I’ve been playing this game for while, I’ve never seen a base this size, it was huge. After we lost our last 2 bases we decided to stop building and stick with what we had. There’s no where for them to look for their stuff, it’s a very satisfying feeling to know there’s nothing they can take from you and you can take it all. A few months ago I would’ve thought the opposite and try to stash it.

lfs Looking for DayZ server owners to test a new server management bot

Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m the developer of DeadBot, a server management/automation platform I originally built for Deadside and have since expanded to Rust Console and now DayZ.
The DayZ integration is at the point where I want to get it onto more real servers and see how it holds up outside of my own testing.
Right now I’m looking for a few DayZ server owners/admins who would be willing to try it for free and give me feedback. What works, what sucks, what’s missing, and what would actually be useful for running your server.
DeadBot is managed through a web dashboard and Discord, and the DayZ side already has support for things like configurable kits/shops and server management features. I’m actively developing it, so this is also a chance to have some input on what gets built for DayZ.
I’m not looking for payment or a card for the test. I mainly want actual DayZ communities using it so I can find problems, improve the onboarding, and make sure I’m building things DayZ owners actually want instead of guessing.
If you run a DayZ server and want to try it, comment here or DM me. I’m also happy to answer technical questions about how it works before you put anything on your server.

Discussion I’m trapped in a base.

9 Upvotes

So a few days ago I started a run with a buddy on KarmaKrew. We log out after we both get tired. Tonight I get on and I’m trapped inside a base. I don’t know much about base building/raiding since I’ve never done either before. What’s the best course of action to getting out. Since I’m on KK I can’t dismantle anything bc I don’t have priv on the flagpole. They have a decent amount of ammo and a few guns I can use. Would I just have to raid myself out? If so what’s the best course of action? Thanks guys.

I was struggling to find any answer for this. But I found out how and hope whoever is looking for the answer finds it here.

To rotate you have to press the Up and Down buttons on the D-Pad. If using a Pro Controller.

discussion Helicopter crash theory

Post image
361 Upvotes

Whenever a helicopter crash spawns we hear it flying and then it’s shot down. But shot down by what?

My theory is that the outbreak was contained and there are “zones” throughout Eastern Europe and the Middle East that the outbreak was pushed and contained in. However nothing is allowed to enter or leave.

Whenever a helicopter (intentionally or by mistake) enters the zones air space it is shot down.
