Skalisty Island

Is there anything good on that island?

Tons of weapons, food, basic gear. You can live almost indefinitely on that island. (on private hives at least)

hmmm.. that's a good plan... no, I'm dead serious... I wonder if one could barricade it up to make a good base there...

lol... maybe I've found something new to do with DayZ...

Any ammo there?

[DarienKane]

yeah Skal island is a viable place to hole up, lots of weapons found there, and from what i've found, you can loot the whole island and by the time you get done the loot is respawning.

Yes ammo though you will have to do a complete "loot run" several times of the island to get exactly what you need/want ,,,,,,,Also watch out for server hoppers.

I'm not sure if anything good spawns there at the moment, but Prison Island would be an easier place to actually block off.

Probably the only way to really seal it off would be a car tent build behind the final archway, so nobody else can get inside and pack it up. The problem is the car tent doesn't fit in any inventory. I don't think even the hunting bp is wide enough. And you can't swim with items in hands (you drop them). So you'd have to use two small tents instead and maybe deal with a few gaps. But it could be done, the yard and barrack would be yours.

From what I remember though the walls can be breached with hand-grenades on several spots. I watched a role play video a long time ago, where they held prisoners in the yard/barracks and the walls were partly destroyed. You'd need a couple of grenades for that. The question is if you'd want to have a base on an island that's always empty anyway.

Skalisty on the other hand sees its share of action. You wouldn't be able to stay undetected there for long. But it's closer to civilisation than prison island. and it has better gear at the moment (unless they changed the PI spawns back to how they were).

It has its problems the landscape can be glitched and it is in some ways a cheaters paradise :)
