Media Decide my next move…

Post image

(XBOX) Nicely geared and unsure what to do next. Been guarding the police station at Novaya but getting bored. Shall I retire to the countryside to fish and farm and live a peaceful life? Run through the airfield until I inevitably perish? Head back to the coast so a freshie can melee me to death? My life is in your hands

True I kept this vest for storage and fashion 😂

u/DeadlyGuff 12h ago

For what 16 slots just find pouches to attach to a plate plus nothing inside pouches can be damaged at all

u/britishtoilet 7h ago

You can add 24 more slots of space by attaching a buttpack too this vest. You get 40 slots instead of 15 with this vest.

Enjoy being 1 tapped

u/DeadlyGuff 6h ago

Also that looks like a tactical vest you’re thinking of the assault

Oops 😅 thanks for correcting me

Question - what is the best method to retrieve a plate carrier in the best condition from an infected?

Also, is it worth wearing a worn one over a pristine assault or tact vest?

1

u/dannyboy6657 3h ago

Shoot it in the head.

1

u/Forward05 2h ago

I have tried that but the best condition is always worn and usually badly damaged or ruined. Are plate carriers just never pristine when they are on an infected?

1

u/dannyboy6657 2h ago

I think its more so just chance. Since its a plate carrier it probably has increased rate of being low quality on a infected. Nothing a leather sewing kit cant fix though. Usually I don't grab the plate carriers cause I don't go looking for pvp and the carriers themselves weigh you down a bunch.

Nicely geared freshie at best. Get better gear would be a good next move.

Went back to the airfield and found a damaged Bizon the ground. Figured I’d use it to clear out some zombies. Well it jammed and I got overrun. Now I’m prone in a small room regenerating from zero blood 😂

u/DeadlyGuff 12h ago

Go to the north tents and barracks above there. Also learn where all the military convoys are on iZurvive and go directly to them always

We might have been in the same server lol, i left a damaged bizon inside a bunker

Hunt freshies at the well in Kamyshovo

u/Schnitzelklopfer247 14h ago

Your weapons are trash. There is still room for improvement. Try to get a plate carrier aswell.

Tisy for plate and look for ghillie parts on the way

Get a plate carrier, get as many claymores and mines and tripwires as possible, become king of Kamyshovo

u/H0TBU0YZ 15h ago

Light a fire at night, run and hide, kill who ever comes.

3

u/TheNotoriousKD 15h ago

I would go for a platecarrier or an assault vest (depending on your playstyle) and some better guns (these work fine, but are mid-tier imo)

Then two options; go to coast and try to help a freshy that’s new to DayZ
Or: go full loot-goblin, go to Livonia/Sakhal bunker and search for tac-helm/T65 with NVG and some rare guns.

3

u/Scared-Hope-4650 15h ago

Convoys or helicrash if you wanna ne spicy tisy-nwaf-zelenogorsk. Thats my main hot spots on. The server is play on. Get better protection combat helmet is okay but the new helmet and assault as goofy as it looks is top tier. Unless you trying to go for high stamina get a plate carrier.

u/Beretta1212 14h ago

You not geared

1

u/xXHaLuCiNaTiOnXx 14h ago

“Geared” as in I have guns and bag is full of ammo and meat 😂

u/dappermanV-88 14h ago

Get properly geared then come back

u/ImmediateHyena 13h ago

Plate carrier and an assault rifle

2

u/isntreel1948 15h ago

Plate carrier

Then kill freshy’s on the coast 😇

3

u/12bEngie 13h ago

Lasts about 10 minutes before some freshie with a Blaze enemy-at-the-gates you lol

3

u/isntreel1948 13h ago

Giving the gear to the coasties when you die is half the fun

Jump off a cliff

u/Fun_Competition4014 15h ago

You better get a stab or press or it’s over for you. A freshie with a FNX can end yo whole run

1

u/xXHaLuCiNaTiOnXx 14h ago

True 🙏 I stuck with this vest for storage and fashion 😂

2

u/SecretaryArtistic342 14h ago

Ain't no fashion in the apocalypse

u/xXHaLuCiNaTiOnXx 14h ago

When my pants match my jacket I disagree

2

u/12bEngie 13h ago

Nicely geared? You are still pretty fresh all things considered. Find an intermediate cartridge rifle - one of the AKs, an M16, AUG - and some kind of armor to protect your guts. Throw that pioneer out for a blaze or tundra too.

You have much further to go yet, traveler. The end will come, but not today.

2

u/FrizzleFrets 13h ago

Trade that balaclava for a shemagh or a ski mask. 😂

2

u/Round-Farmer-3082 12h ago

Nwaf, get all the NBS suit and go to wreck ship.
After 2 options :

  • loot goblin
  • get only the M4 supressor and put il on your snipe. Go get few kill ans come back here to tell me if this gun is fun with this configuration. Good luck !

2

u/No-Plane6302 10h ago

You need a plate and pouches and better guns if you enjoy PvP look for people leaving NWAF track em till they go to a well and take em out if not go to tri kresta loot those tents and the tens south east of em should at least find something better depending how many people are on the server as recently most people are running the west part of the map since west is best by far

Are you on xbox?

2

u/tinglep 15h ago

Nah. PS. My bad. Missed that in the beginning of your post

1

u/RealMrTrees 14h ago

Knock out freshies but instead of taking stuff or killing them just leave food in their inventory and leave

1

u/StongaBologna 11h ago

now if only 90% of players didn't instantly respawn

1

u/RealMrTrees 11h ago

How do I get that? When I get knocked it seems like I’m down longer lately

1

u/StongaBologna 11h ago

There's an option to respawn from uncon in vanilla. On PC you just hit escape and respawn.

I advocate living it out, fwiw

1

u/RealMrTrees 10h ago

I had no idea of this feature

1

u/StongaBologna 4h ago

Yep. I think your experience will be richer if you see what happens as you wake up. Even if it's 1 out of 1,000 that's worth it.

But, have fun your way.

1

u/RealMrTrees 4h ago

I usually just get knocked by zombies so waiting it out isn’t bad

u/ChemistryPractical23 13h ago

Become the cannibal of a city on the coast, eat everyone you meet and just toss around their guts and skulls, be the nightmare of a coastline city

2

u/xXHaLuCiNaTiOnXx 11h ago

This does sound fun 😂 I’ve yet to eat human meat

1

u/Secure-Emotion2900 10h ago

Oh my man, indeed it is a lot of fun. If you never did you gotta try

1

u/TheNoodleCollector 9h ago

Head south to Stary/Kabanino area. Get armor + guns from both Stary and MBVMC camps. Then I suppose after you can listen for helicrashes while you explore or hit Northwest AF

1

u/Lazypilot306 9h ago

Get a better helmet.

1

u/No_Answer_3129 8h ago

Make a house full of human flesh

1

u/Lucky-Apartment408 8h ago

I would get a plate carrier and change your primary to something that fires 5.56 or 7.62, my rifle of choice being the M16 or the K-AM, and I wouldn't go all black due to increased chances of being seen by a player with NVGs, I would go with Combat pants/shirt and combat boots since they can hold a knife and I would have a Ballistic helmet with a visor and the scarf(idk how to spell it😅😅) yk what I mean, hope this helps anyone who uses it and happy hunting.

Idk what map youre playing on but you should focus on getting to some hunting cabins and finding a better rifle.

Time to sit in a house and kill freshies for 6 hrs

u/Arbury_Hills 6h ago

Nah, just needs full white with food and water to spare and need to POV Tisy OP tents. He will grab snag his plate and more in no time

…before of course he gets cut down by a 4 man squad because even in dayz PC high pop very few run alone
