DayZ Zombie Mod for Arma 2

rakane01

i found the latest suit in an outdoor toilet very hygenic.
as for helicopter. same here and ive been on for sometime over passed couple of days about 12 hrs tuesday.

FlyingIrishMan

I don't think there is a chopper on the boards server.

rakane01

shame about the no heli. would have added some excitment. hearing an incoming chopper and ducking for cover.

Aw man, I've been to every possible spawn spot across the north. Just my luck.

Ah well the quest will continue...

All Ghillies I have found so far have been in the South.

I found one in Balota once!

If your really having trouble try going on a server with a low population, more chance of getting full spawn points.

Goro

OK so I found a ghillie , an AK cobra and all the essentials. I then stumble upon a bus in the hills near elektro! Almost a full tank of gas too.

So me and my bus headed off into the sunset together. Great to be able to drive up north so much faster.

Banditry fix coming soon!

Apparently it's just the head that will be the indicator. Whatever, it's sorely needed.

There is no, "Fort Berezino"...

Haha me and a few lads saw you drove through, was gonna plaster you with bullets an steal it but you were too quick.

The hacking on heavy populated servers is ridiculous....

Eggy Baby!

Watch out for chernoboyz woody, he is a bandido!

I managed to kill him at the Elektro power station with a headshot after he ambushed me. Looted a map, compass and gun off his corpse. Zombies heard the gunfire so I shot some and went up a ladder to bandage up. I killed the enemies and moved on- i had little ammo, 40% blood, the screen was pure grey as a result, I had no food or water and a crap gun. Tough times.

Went out wandering for 40 mins or so. Near Kamyshovo I found a dead player and looted his corpse for a good old Lee Enfield, ammo and supplies. Came across Tulga while scavenging. No luck. Went out into the woods. Decided I was going to move towards Dolina. While there I was ambushed by zombies running like mofos. Hid in the warehouse, near dead due to blood loss, starvation and dehydration, and decided to pick them off one by one with good old Lee. I went into Dolina. No luck again. Was getting desperate.

Decided to go to Polana to scavenge. Found loads of supplies and a new pack in the supermarket there. I then headed out west into the Black Forest to find food. I killed a boar and gutted it. I made a fireplace and cooked its meat and ate it for din dins. Had a rest in the forest. I decided I'd probably go to Novy Sobor. In the meantime I am camping out in the forest hunting boar for sustenance.

The mod is really great when you get going and stable. The best tactic is to avoid players by heading out into the wilderness and trying to loot a select few towns (like Polana). Avoid the cities! There is nothing there but broken dreams!

Might post updates on how my character (Oprah Winfrey) is doing. His story must be told!!

(I love going into towns with the notion in your head that this town may be the one you die in. Makes the game very tense and improve your survival instinct.)

Essentially, when you get a hatchet, hunting knife and matches, you can survive in the wilderness indefinitely. It all depends on how you want to play. But like that, there is nothing quite like the feeling of entering a town. Especially, ones with a supermarket. You never know who you'll meet. Or that anxious feeling, when you are looting in a building, or running through a city and you start hearing gunshots. You can cut the tension with a knife.

The wheels on my bus went round and round.

And then Goro stole it :eek:

I was pretty angry last night, someone took my heli while i was offline, but that wasn't why I was angry.
Ambiushed a convoy on a DE server last night hitting 4 riders, they all logged out ALL OF THEM!!! Healed up and appeared behind me, just as I was taking a bike, got away under serious light machine gun fire, patched myself up and here they are heading after me in their quad and van. I hit the trees leaving the bike in a bush and hit the arseh0les on the quad (Love that thermal gun), they logged straight away, two more went into industrial buildings, one appearing in the doorway on the roof. Shot him and he logged.
His friend got me with a headshot.
Lost my thermal to a bunch of pussies, think I'll be starting out on a boards server from now on, if those guys had any balls they would all be dead instead of having my thermal, but at least they would have died like men.

Good thing was that it was a two pronged ambush, so my mate let them pass and I stopped them with some fire. The idea was for my mate to then head up behind them and take them out. Instead we modified the plan on the fly, when they started logging out the second time, so I was to fight a running battle retreating and he would then come in behind them and steal the vehicles, I lost my thermal, ghillie etc, which isn't fair but I can console myself with the fact that those pratts are walking home, we took all their vehicles.

But you still need to get water/liquids and supplies like heatpacks in case you get sick.

I think I'll camp out in the Black Forest for a while and become a mountain man, hunting boar and players alike.

Stay away from the Black Forest everyone! Cheers!

Refillable canteen(s) for water and I'm not sure your temperature is a factor anymore in the latest version.

If someone had logged like that on me the 1st time I would have left them off and just got out of there.. Don't bother waiting around for cheaters.

I got killed last night after having an 11 day character, coyote backpack, m4, buckets of ammo.

It sucks but you just gotta take it like a man. I could have easily logged out with the friend I was playing it.

Roorah

I ended up starving in the middle of the mountains with my character, lasted a good 20 days. Finally I decided to go out with style and used a grenade on myself.

Spawned in Solnichy and wandered north. Found a boat and then started sailing up the coast. Then I lagged out and ended up in hte water with no boat around...... awkward

It is. I was standing still and I was making full noise- sickness does that in this game.

R.I.P Oprah Winfrey- shot by a douchebag sniper outside of Tulga who killed him in one hit. You shall be sorely missed.

FlyingIrishMan

Why is everybody in Tulga lately, its a **** hole with like only one enterable building.

Nice camp in the middle of Berezino. The apartments beside the supermarket are fenced off with wire and sandbags, couple of tents inside

You are lucky to have seen Fort Berez and be alive. Like 4 guys usually have that place locked down.

Fort Berez is a well known and cherished landmark in IE1!

Too bad the dead military zombies **** it all up with the glitching!

Me and 4 of my mates attacked them before, after one of us got injured (on our way south to get two of our friends) by one of their snipers we decided to group up and go back and get that feckin sniper thinking it was only one, maybe two tops... anyway about a week later we get contacted by one of the guys that was down there and well, this is their side of the story...

i don't think they come on these forums, cuz i left a message on here at the time sayin something along the lines of jayus that was some fight last night and no-one replied so i thought it must not have been the boards lads

Laviski

i'm aware of them and i know one of them use boards.
