To add on to burying stashes, you can also take a barrel and put it in chest high deep water and drop it there. It is invisible (you really would have to be looking for it to find it) and it's 150 slots per barrel. The only difficult part is actually getting the barrel where you want to hide it because it's so slow to move them around.

Just an FYI if you're playing on a community sever they more than likely have a discord. I've been playing Dayz since it launched on Xbox and all of the community servers I've played on personally have a heat map which shows other people on the discord server a map with dots that indicates player activity. It doesn't pinpoint your location but gives a general location of about 200m in diameter on the map. So even if you build at the very edge of the map, other players on discord will see the activity at said location and may become curious. Always check if your server has a discord and if the discord has a heat map.

I like to use the big industrial buildings with the yellow pipes (e.g. in Novodmitrovsk, Cherno). The first floor is only accessible by ladder (or falling :D). Build a fence next to where people leave the ladder, it's quite risky to grenade those; you'd have to leave grenades and then snipe them or get on the ladder very quickly. Add another gate before the door and a third inside the room. Or, build on top of that building. One gate not too close to the ladder (or they will clip through). A second one as entry to the metal building on top. You're pretty exposed up there. Or build on top of the garage office at the docks in Berezino. You have to jump over from those yellow scaffolding things holding the pipe. Always look for place where raiders are exposed before they get in and have little to no room to move. You can easily defend a 2nd floor while you mate wrecks the gates one by one.

​@@Nitno On top of the large oil tanks is also quite nice and offers little space to walk around. If the gate is on the far side of the ladder, it's extra fun. The little niche on the left of a military prison can be closed with one gate. A lot of people will not have the balls to start a raid in a milbase, but you might attract patient snipers. A more extreme one: In the Chernogorsk factory complex, walk to the roof of the cement factory with red walls. (7180.52 / 2870.93) Use the overpass / tunnel to cross and jump to either side (hp dmg!) If you jump over, a single player can't jump back! Two gates with some space between will, as always, lower the risk of a raid. Stage two is ruining the exit plan. The only way down is on the south side, by jumping onto the tunnel going down. This jump will again do hp damage. Use three gates in the middle section and one on the outside to block the exit path. Two players will be able to do humanstacking and bypass the gates, but unless they destroy at least three gates (2 entry + 1 exit) one raider will be left behind. Also, they will do it while standing in Cherno on a high ass building visible for everyone.

Just advice for those wanting to actually keep bases. Get friends. 3-4 American friends. Team up with a group of 3-4 UK friends so there is always ppl on just different play times. You’ll cross paths every so often if one or a few on the other side stay up late but essentially you’re never really playing together, just sharing a base so that someone’s is always there. I’ve done it, along with discord to converse. We play recreationally so it’s not serious, so when there is a raid we’d just post 🔴🔴 signifying raid happening. Most of us weren’t attached to the gear so it wasn’t no biggie if anyone got on. We just looted and restocked. It’s rare for someone to raid the SAME base lol

FYI, a lot of the locations that you are saying you just need one wall/gate, you actually need to add a wall on top to prevent players from easily boosting over the top. I single player can use a barrel or car to boost over and two players can use each other to boost over. The apartments have hidden rooms that you can easily get to by getting on the balcony rails. Not many players know of those hidden rooms, so they make for excellent long term base locations.

Bases are fun and all, but BI should consider adding other form of locking the gate like codelock. Or at least do an action when you want to open lock, so raiders can't brute force locks. And opening 3 or 4 gates is a little pain in a ass, when you have to use bikelocks. And tips from a raider - If your base has only 1 or 2 wall/gate to enter, we get into the base in 3 min. We usually have enough granades to raid, and if not - we are marking base on map and return when we get enough :). Second tip, don't use 3 dial locks, you can bruteforce them in 20 min so it's almost like no lock at all. Third tip - Make a gate with 4dial lock on every entry, and by every i mean EVERY entry - sometimes you can glitch to bases through windows or by jumpibg over gates etc, and if there is fence next to one entry, raiders can make gate from it or disasemble fence, so they can enter base from there. And don't use the same code on every lock, so raiders will have to break through gates, not just break first gate - check code on lock - open other gates with the same codes. And don't use codes that are different by just one dial, like 4169 - 7169 or 4169 - 4569. We usually cycle through to check, if lockcodes are similar. Uff, long post ;) Have fun guys in DayZ

A great post - any DayZ base can be broken into with enough resources and dedication, and the people who do so aren't dumb. I've got a base set up in a remote barn with three layers of security (working on a four layer will be my next project). Every now and then, I log in to find someone has either brute-forced one of the bike locks, shot through a fence, opened one of the exterior doors, etc, and decided it wasn't worth the effort. There's a few other cool tricks you can do: - Put your most valuable/irreplaceable items together. When you log off for the night, put them all in your inventory so you won't find them gone - You can set up gates inside buildings in a way that anyone trying to open the locks from the outside gets shredded with barbed wire. Barbed wire on top can also make it tricky to reach the lock - Assume that people will be able to find a way over fences (i.e., building watchtowers, getting boosted up, climbing on vehicles and tents, glitching, etc). Use barbed wire, multiple layers, build walls inside, etc - Change your codes frequently

I build my base in one of those sheds and it got raided. But the funny part was I buried my most valuable loot in their and added two fence gates XD. I bet they were so disappointed.

Quite new to base building here so Bare with me. My question is, when you put a padlock on your fence, some building such as the big houses don't allow you to access the padlock from the outside as the fence kinda merges into the walls. what's the solution for this??

@Nitno

2 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately you'll need to build in such a way that you can access the padlock. If you really can't reach the padlock you'll have to break the wall with damage unfortunately. Major bummer but it's happened to me too.

How do we know which is the front side of the fence kit and not "soft side" like you mentioned. Also, how do we craft loot chest, i know how to craft a wooden crate but cant find nothing about loot chest !

What about the barns? Several of them only have two entrances, and they provide huge amounts of space. Additionally, they can often be found in locations where players rarely come such as the far reaches of towns or even off on some remote dirt roads.

My base is set up in a barn (the large kind with two huge doors, and two side doors). I actually developed it from an abandoned base that someone raided - three entrances were fenced off, there was a gate on the other, tents and crates inside, and he went through all the effort of lining the inside walls with more fences (so people can't see or shoot through). Problem is, raiders only needed to break through a single fence to break in to all the goodies inside. I've got a nice little setup now - a veggie garden fenced off on the outside, additional layers of fences protecting every entrance, barbed wire on the fences protecting the larger doors (it actually prevents people from unlocking them from the outside), a couple of internal security layers... all in all, anyone hoping to break in needs to destroy at least three fences, and/or unlock anywhere from 1-3 bike locks. Every now and then, I'll log in to find someone has brute-forced one of the locks or tried to break in through a fence, realised how much effort is needed to get in, and given up. To be fair though, I wouldn't ordinarily recommend picking a barn - it takes a lot of work and resources to get one set up properly, and unless you skimp on fortifications it'll stick out like a sore thumb.

I am on PS4. The biggest issue I run into with building is getting the damn 4 combo bike lock to be reachable when you put it on. I cant tell you how many times I have built a gate and locked it only to not be able to reach the lock to open it back up again. I built a pretty extensive base in a church and when I built the gate for the front door, the lock was just out of reach when I put it on. Had to walk away from a huge stash of weapons and gear. PS4 does not allow you to open them from the middle of the door like you can on PC. At least it looks like you just walk up to the middle of the door on the pc, I never see anyone fiddle with locks to open them.
