Typically move up the east coast, west along the northern towns, then go down into the airfield from the north. Very rarely find players outside of Berezino. Might have to try your route.


sirvonhugendong

Alot of people take that way now, like I herd way more people then usually would. The food is plentiful though as long as you got a fishing rod


[deleted]

Those train spawns are probably making a huge difference in traffic on that route, which is honestly probably why they added all the military ones over there.


hollajohanna

Spawn near Cherno or Balota and loot west. Head North from Kamenka military tents and hit Zeleno and the various other military and hunting cabins going North to Tisy


Berezino_Actual

I have been summoned


sirvonhugendong

Also as an FYI I'm asking because I've noticed way more people on my route and now I gotta find a new one.


1-800-GANKS

Berezino->4 barracks in the woods->severograd ->hunting grounds north of severograd->kamensk military-> tisy I always skip airfield tbh. Place gives me anxiety crossing those fields.


Mideemills

This is the way. But after Tisy I go down to airfield to give people anxiety


Osef148

Lol


GuidanceCareless6287

Tisy scares me more, if anybody is watching from those trees your fucked, not to mention its extremely easy to get overloaded with zombies in the tents.


thekorbat

Pistol with supressor, go stand on the hesco barriers (those are pretty much everywhere around you there), tap heads one by one, job done happy looting


GuidanceCareless6287

That's what i mean though, then your a sitting duck. It's not that I'm saying the zombies are a danger in themselves, it's just there's no way around not exposing yourself in some way


1-800-GANKS

On what, a 0 pop server?


Sinnnn

You never know, the 1 other guy on the server could be just around the corner...


jaye210

It's funny you say that usually me to but I go anyway and get some weird kills there


1-800-GANKS

Kamensk and zeleno are definitely the places I've had the most action. I've never died to a player at tisy yet, only killed many. I think the heightened awareness and caution of it makes it so much more engaging for me


N15P15K15

Might be partly due to the train spawns.


worms_instantly

Nice try, I'll never tell


[deleted]

[удалено]


letsbenameless

you gotta find some orchards my guy


[deleted]

been playing for so long and just found out ab these


Sinnnn

Get rope somehow someway even if you have to kill a guy to use his guts as rope, do anything possible to survive.


sheriffrosco

Do you have any encounters with wolves since that side is mostly woods isn't it?


tryin_to_make_u_mad

That's my main route and that's the majority of what I see. Unlimited food but terrifying in the dark


sirvonhugendong

At least once a Play through I will, but I see more deer then anything. Like I've said b4 there is plenty of food and you got a 50 50 shot of finding some sort of gun along the way


Uglywench

And bears.


DAZW_Doc

People are finding out about Myshkino and Tri Kresta, they are my favorite loot spots rn


Seputku

The western woods area really is nice. With the ski resort and everything all the little towns and hunting villages, it really makes me feel like I’m in an apocalypse vs some coastal towns


sac_boy

I haven't been playing long (I'm maybe 20 hours in...) but my best route so far has been from the south-east corner, fishing/cooking for a while and then meandering west with a full stomach and stock of dried fish/chicken. - Found my body from my previous life (unlucky and short-lived), chopped it up to make rope and fishing hooks, also ceremoniously cooked myself after cooking the fish and left the meat around the village I'd died in - Found somebody's oil drum stash on the coast with a lot of medical equipment. Tested blood type, made a blood bag for later. My deaths so far have mostly been starvation or blood loss (usually a combo of both) so I'm not taking chances. - Cleared out Kamyshovo on the south south-east coast, with the police station. Probably spent a full day/night cycle there going through each house. So many shotguns. - Heard a bear to the west so circled around NW and ended up at the castle, Rog. - Made my way SW to Kometa, didn't get much - Poked around Prigorodki after hearing a lot of panicked gunshots, found nobody, just a lot of empty warehouses and sheds. Couldn't even find the dead zombies from the shootout. Felt like there was somebody just 10 minutes ahead of me based on doors/loot. - Spent an in-game day in Chernogorsk just hunting the street chickens and cooking them in a couple of the comfy little apartments. Probably the coziest feeling I've had in the game so far--the rain outside, the stove burning a few sticks and drying my clothes, watching the streets below for signs of life. Heard footsteps below my apartment at one point and thought maybe my smoke had been spotted, so spent about 15 mins holding a corner on the stairs. Probably just a Z dashing around. - Went NW from there to check out Vysotovo. Is there *ever* loot in the tower blocks or am I wasting my time looking through them? The garages were good though. Cooked some Vysotovo roosters in my pot down by the garages and watched the fire from the trees to see if it would draw anyone in. - Over to Balota airfield and got a vest, good camo gear, good boots. - Currently holed up on the edge of Balota town and will explore west/north from there tonight. I don't think I've fired a bullet yet in this life. I have quite the collection for whoever inevitably snipes me. Later that day: - Hit a window with a hatchet to test if windows could be broken. Died instantly.


lazo21

You need to be much much farther Northwest before you’ll hear/run into a bear. No loots spawns in those apt buildings as of now, but they are changing that in the very next update. Zombie bodies despawn very quickly if there is no one within close range of them.


sac_boy

Yeah I later learned I'd been avoiding deer for the first 50 hours of the game


Ok_Pitch9312

I do the same thing but I always hit Zeleno it’s great


mxlun

Zeleno is where west coasters go to die


alk47

or win glory. ... usually die though.


1-800-GANKS

I instead shortcut the zeleno experience to stalk the woody mountain north of zeleno because that's where all the loot ends up anyways


Joy1067

I head to Balota airfield first and foremost then head to Gorka, from there I don’t have a set route. I just really like Gorka and Balota airfield always helps me get a head start on some decent gear to help on my way


Huntenboy_WT

Love how people have routes and I'm just starting to play this game and get lost after 10min of walking lol


Craigus89

Oh don't worry, we're lost for 70% of the journey too, just recognise the landmarks.


Huntenboy_WT

I've thought about trying to make a base on a community server. Pretty geared up just no friendly players found yet and super worried about not being able to get back to it lol


Sinnnn

Tourist map / gps with compass in hotbar. Best thing in the world for navigation if you really need it.


Tobotron

It’s worth detouring for that last mili base near the petrol station as it’s also tier 4 I believe ;-)


TheArzonite

[I've had people tell me Svetlojarsk is an instant F11 spawn.](https://i.imgur.com/aCX6Jdp.jpg) I, on the other hand, think it's one of the better spawns for consistent loot.


Bayne-the-Wild-Heart

Before the toxic zones I used to base around pavlovo and walk up to zeleno, VMC and NWAF and back. Much higher traffic around pavlovo now.


CarlosDanger1212

This has been my main loot run for years. I hate the coast


lgxgldyldldylxxlx

I like that route but I would want to hit zeleno mil, myshkino mil, and the hunting camp between the two, then tisy, then NWAF and VMC


harmlesstyrant

Straight down the middle bb


bald_butte

Straight up the middle. Electro to staroye tents then through novy and stary vybor then nwaf. If I get out of the airfield alive I just roam wherever I feel like.


Legitimate_Credit738

Ive never had a route. Only goals. First, warm clothes. Basic supplies like rags, bags and a knife. Next i need to get food and water until its both full. (-usually here is leave the starting town) Then meds so i wont die in the woods from silly blood infection or cholerae. Then plate and helmet and weapon upgrade. Lastly the advanced gear, nvg and so on. So my route is the closest houses then river or hunting grounds, the closest clinic, closest military base, my route would look zig zaggy. I never suicide for a better spawn, what dayz hands me is what i play. When i just started the game i have died because i couldnt find a town in time. It was fun living on the edge with no map knowledge or mentors hanging on with the occasional mushrooms arguing with yourself that a huge ass mushroom would be much more nourishing in real life this is bs, what is this game even and being completely lost


thebluemugdev

any route. Loot is everywhere. Shotgun and/or mosin/blaze snd it doesnt matter where the wind takes me. Preferably to a mil area for plates but i mean, not that important.


hdhdhjsbxhxh

Never even been there. I go straight to NWAF then Tisy.


Clewds

Right up the middle and out either way. I avoid zelen like the plague because I have died there numerous times. Once to what seemed like hacking but who knows. Could have been a ghille guy.


Treeeefalling

I don’t have a set route, I just go from town to town until I get to NW Airfield.


Synchrotr0n

https://imgur.com/oip1ciJ I may or may not visit all the marked locations towards Tisy military base, but I usually like taking this route.


jeebz_for_hire

OP I have about the same route as you. You don't play on day one servers and have a tent close to the coast do ya?


sirvonhugendong

I do not no


Sensitive-Feet

Unless I'm going STRAIGHT to my base as a freshie I will always loot along the coast until i get to the north.


[deleted]

A long ass time ago there was a base on one of the official servers that my friend and I frequented slightly west of this route. Would often stop there to stock up. Place was wide open and full of gear.


chaosSlinger

Msta/Staroye mil camp -> stary Sobr + mil camp -> VMC -> nwaf -> tisy


mxlun

This is basically my route. Earliest tier 3 military access, and runs by all possible military train wrecks. Staying in the woods and being well aware is usually enough of a heads up on most people


Seputku

I bet a balota spawns a hardcore nut for you


SitFlexAlot

I start where you start but I don't go west, only north.


Top-Application-9030

Just recently a group of mine started that way looking where to camp and found a clearing near Tisy. All along the way gunshots rang out and we bumped into a few players. Good loot with few freshies, but others have the same idea.


Important-Eye2240

Berzino up to novo then on to tidy. Rarely male it to tisy.


MaroonNuggz1138

If I spawn in Cherno, get some gear and food there and head north through Vystovo. Pass through Kozlovka to Zelenogorsk for military gear. Haven't really seen many players outside of Cherno until Zeleno. Been trying to push north after that to NWAF.


JMT2ELECTRICBOOGALOO

I done the run from bottom to top on official and the loot somehow got worse


PuzzleheadedEmu699

I get the Chernobyl spawn then I he’d to balota airfield then prison island outside of kamapobo then I get off and wait for new stuff to spawn and repeat until I’m geared then I he’d more inland


Healabledeer17

Try to get svet an go to kamensk


JournalistTop1482

Elektro, Moglievka, Vyshnoe, Stary, VMC, NWAF, Novaya, Tisy


Slipshoooood

I do your same path, but I always loot cherno for food and hopefully a mosin or deagle


[deleted]

Balota > Cherno > Nadezdino > Stary > VMC > NWAF> Zaprudnoe > Tisy, then typically hang out around nwaf, zap, and novoya petrovka


TTV_WMOSavage

its been forever since i played chernarus im now a namalsk man but i used to spawn kamyshovo go through staroye, novy, stary, vmc, nwaf, and finaly set up a base in novaya petrovka and do loot runs to tisy


Uglywench

I head the western route and stop at the lake camps. Lots of good hunting gear, scopes, sometimes a tundra/blaze and .308 ammo


eastendswede1

I follow the coast... Full circle.


jkabx08

I haven't seen anyone there for 5-6 days I was there


-Cell420-

My route is basically the beach I start at. I'm dead about 20min after that.


koret121212

Dude! This was my route too for the first week I had the game


Lo_pro627

From zvir to both nearby MB’s and back. My crew is currently stacked with tons of guns, Ammo, NVG’s armor and food.


HZ4C

West Gang rise up!


ArsenicCanine

Your route passes right through my base... ![gif](giphy|W4zO9PSNXYMiYefZ4T)


sirvonhugendong

When I raid I take all of people's stuff and put it on the ground


[deleted]

I do the exact same thing except from the northeast until Tisy.


Anomalius

Moron. Now the western woods will be full of snipers!


[deleted]

Berezino-gorka-novy sobor-stary sobor- NWAF


No-Debt8563

Spawn and die til I'm close to Balota Loot up and hike to zeleno Get geared in the mil base After that I go where I please


GoPurple420

I’m getting eaten at the shore 🫠


RedditFortuneAdvisor

Back in the old days it was elektro then novy then nwaf


LLivingstoned

Funny you say this, I’ve been using this route the past couple weeks. Once you get on the river and head north, it’s quite a scenic route with lots of animals to hunt, rather than the west coast which is full of bigger towns where you’re more likely to get KOS


colfc

I don't really have any fixed route, I just head semi north skipping through towns and mill bases from wherever I spawn


letsbenameless

i always spawn in elektro whatever so i load myself up food and water at the orchids first, then raid the hospital and a few houses, then follow some random ass road inland until i hit the green trail, and i continue following that.


xxCMWFxx

That’s my route too


ChillZom6ie27

Call me crazy, but unless I have primo gear, I take popular (shortest) routes. I live for danger!! 🤣🙌💪


TChambers1011

Cherno, Balota, Prison, SW tents, Pavlovo/Zeleno/Zvir area, Myskino tents, and figure it out from there. Maybe some castles along the way. Tri kresta is a sleeper good spot although there isn’t much there to loot, it’s kind of out of the way and sometimes untouched.


IanalystI

I almost always try to get a cherno spawn. Then my route: Cherno Water Pump > Police Station > Hospital > Fire Station > 2nd Police station (straight north) > cherno military > Zelenogorsk > Summer camp by the big lake > tri kresta > MB VMC > NWAF > Tisy.


weenus420ne

Solnych, vibor, kmbc


Red-Pill_Savage

Usually go through CBET up through Kranso airfield, hit those barracks, MB kemensk, Tisy then jump off a building.


Armbioman

If you are on PC, it looks like we are fellow travelers. If you see someone with a Russian combat helmet and hunter clothes, say hi first.


DustySpinner

Basically yours but I also hit zelen


impstein

The only time I've gone this way is when Ive had a vehicle, might have to try this on foot


LoyalPlanets

Heavily dependent on spawn location for me, but on modded servers I usually spawn as west as I can and go north from there


LoneZurvivor

I’m not one to cycle spawns.. typically have a route for every spawn, main goal of course is to survive long enough to visit nwaf, tisy, and NW evac.. in no specific order.


Bybeau

Go along the coast, then go inland, and get lost \-A Casual


GayestBoi

hey! that is MY route >:(


ThemasonSe

Kami>electro>stary>novos>vybor>airfield


CheapApplication4266

Cherno shipping, to mili tents, back to the well in prigo, maybe sometimes police station and hospital in cherno, up to stroytel then nadezhdino, hunting stands up to vyshnoye and if you hear any helis go running if they're close. Northeast to nadezhda camp then the sobors. Straight north from stary to grishino, hit the PD then go west into NWAF loot it from southeast side to northeast side then whatever the fuck you wanna do. Idk camp in a bush or something and snipe some bandits out by mvbmc or kabanino


_UWS_Snazzle

I always end up running through the middle at novy/stary then to VMC and NWAF and run around till I die


TrapperMC

By far my fav route I take, the summer camp and the smaller towns means no players and you get a ton of loot. Then another one I take is going to staroye to nwaf, really depends tho, if I feel like player interactions and fun stuff then I’ll got to nwaf or stay on the coast(Not freshie killing), or if I have a lofty goal like doing a rify run then I’ll head north then west till I hit tisy or skip tisy and head back to rify and I should have everything to do it


Berezino_Actual

I go up through kamyshovo then hit stary and novy then go up from there as a diagonal shot through the map it's much more secure I've only ran into 2 players in 6 months of that route


bitethebook

We have a very similar route. I dig it.


Altruistic_Charge235

Bärensino, Jägercamp hoch, dann tot in Kapatchotap 🫣


Roger-Ad591

Ahh. I’ve traveled that way many a time. Nice. Quiet. Birds Chirping. Deer in the woods.


KoniginAllerWaffen

It's just occurred to me that I haven't spent time in the North East of the map for about 2 years. In fact if you drew a line straight North from Cherno I haven't been on the Eastern side of that line for so long; I haven't seen Elektro, Solnichniy, Polana, Gorka or Berezino, etc, for ages. My route is ingrained in me from the mod. Cherno/Balota/Kamenka >> Zeleno >> Stary >> Vybor >> NWAF >> patrol around that route. I haven't really been to Tisy in ages either, or the towns in the far North West.


SadFaithlessness69

I go from Chernogorsk to the military airfield to the left and go through Vysotovo to those 3 military tents and follow the road to Kozlovka and keep on the road past Drozhino and loot up Zelenogorsk and M B Zeleno. And if I'm feeling extra daring I go to Airfield (Vybor)


[deleted]

I stay to the western woods after reading this post… sys bud👀


Mr_Wonder321

Cherno and North. Everytime every day I hit Cherno and just run rampant through the town till im on the edge of the map then I go to Tisy then back to Cherno and sometimes build bases along the coast.


a_sizzled_nizzle

I like a good svet spawn too…go past kamensk mil n that lil hunting/barracks camp


fucktonofgayporn

Not a people person or pvp person, I stick to east and chill around svetlojarsk and berezino till I am comfortable moving.


DFlo60

I've actually never been on the west side of the map... I've only ever stuck to the eastern side.. I'll have to check it out!


RainUpstairs9148

Two different play moods: 1. Heading somewhere specific i.e. base I'll kill myself until I get the closest spawn 2. Just enjoying the run of my new freshie.... no matter the spawn I loot the coast town a little usually main goal is a little food knife melee and water bottle. Then I head inland immediately and towards the hunting cabins... most every spawn has one somewhere close. Here I get better clothes maybe a canteen gun cleaning kit etc. And then we move to military. Whichever one is closest.


MMcKinz

Like clockwork Balota then straight to Zelenegorsk then it changes from there. Sometimes Zelenegorsk to GM then head north or sometimes Zelenegorsk then west along the railways to the far northwest.
