Where to head from Kamyshovo spawn?

[Userbla]

I'm a pretty new player, and with the help of an online dayz map I've found out I keep spawning at Kamyshovo. Where is the best place to head to from here? There is no loot in the immediate area I guess because all the other fresh spawns have taken everything, and I made it up to "Msta" and didn't find a single bit of food there even after killing many zombies and going through all the houses. I ended up starving to death a couple of times on this route (I managed to kill a sheep but didn't have a knife to butcher it with).

I see is a slightly larger area "Staroye" to the west.. is that a better place to head to? Are there any useful guides for where to head depending on where you spawn on the coast?

I'd probably head west from there towards Elektro grabbing anything on the way. The spawns should place you anywhere along the entire coast, it's pretty random, but not sure how many times you've died so far. Usually if you run along the tracks you can find a couple stones and combine them to make a stone knife, that way you can scrap simple clothing for rags, which can be used for kindling and then cut down some bushes for fireplace fuel, unless you find a knife or an axe first of course, even better. Zombies can be a good source of basic usefull items as well if you take out enough. I would at least kill the ones wearing backpacks if you don't have one yet.

If you run along the shore and check around each of the boats you can find some fishing rods and some hooks, craft some rope by combining rags. Then you can dig up worms with a sharp tool and fish on any body of water. That's one way. If you're lucky you'll find food though. Otherwise, I grab roosters if I hear them around. I think you need a two handed weapon to kill them though (or gun of course), haven't had any luck trying with knives or hatchets.

Then maybe head to clinics for medical items and police stations for weapons. Clinics usually have at least a few bandages and various pills. Police stations I've been pretty unlucky for the most part, might be better to visit the small military outposts scattered around on the map/road blocks. Then you'll be set to go to the larger military bases and really start gearing yourself up.

But for now I'd focus on just collecting items and a backpack for starters, seeing how different items interact with eachother and getting used to basic survival and scavenging. You'll get faster at everything the more you play. I was dying all the time at first.

If you do evetually make the trip to large miltary bases, make sure you bring enough food with you since they don't have any at all, at least in my own experience, that way you won't starve to death once you're finally all geared up. I'd just go from town to town and grab any food/chickens I'd find, cook em and move on to the next.

Up the hill. Inland

Head inland, looting for better clothing and tools... hitting every orchard that you can along the way. You'll never go hungry. :j

Private profile, why are you hiding?

On a busy server, Kamy can be a death trap; I'd make my way to the water pump and drink my fill, no use trying to loot the place on a busy server, it's been stripped clean so get out of there. Take the road north a short ways, which also happens to be a red hiking trail. Follow the hiking trail to the right, jog up and down the trail a few times, and you will start to farm small stones. When you've collected enough for about 3 or 4 stone knifes, head to Tulga to the N/E. Your apple will now be in the yellow or red and you will be cold. Tulga is a very quiet place, and safe enough to start making a fireplace and killing a chicken or two with a stone knife. While collecting small sticks and cutting rags from clothes you pick up around there, mushrooms will start to appear around your area of activity, these will keep you going until the chicken is done. There is also a water pump there so within 3 or 4 hours you will be warm, fully fed and hydrated, with food in reserve.

I once spent about a week at Tulga, farming the area in about a 2,5 km radius, regularly camping the area between Kamy and Elektro with my Mosin to pick off careless newby hunters who seem to like that section of the map. Eventually I had so much stuff collected in drums and crates that I placed around Tulga, I didn't know what to do with it all.

Most of the advice new players receive are to head inland, with NWAF and Tisy the ultimate goal 9 out of 10 times. Those two places are probably the most dangerous area's of the map, so I'm baffled when new players get told to go there, you'll just die there. Similarly Electro and Cherno, don't go there as a new player, you'll die, don't go to any large city.

I was fully kitted with high end military weapons and clothes after a week at Tulga, without moving more than 2,5km from my spawning point. I eventually got ambushed by two guys, because I stayed too long in one place, my own fault. My message here is to just stay put and survive for a while, the loot will come to you.

No, fruit very rarely spawn in orchards, and only eating fruit will always leave you under fed and weak.

Of course, one needs a bit of preparation before going there, as in finding the odd knife/matches. To be honest all you need is the heat buff from a fireplace, once you have that the swim doesn't make you cold. Also, searching the boat for cans and, more importantly, fishing hooks is a good idea.

Thing is, Skalisty is worth the trouble. Nine times out of ten you find a knife, chicken for bones or even a fishing rod. And it's not just about surviving, a decent run will give you some of the best clothing and high quality food like dried milk, a perfect run will give you hunter backpacks and a scoped Winchester.

Thanks for the info everyone!

Nothing, just with the proliferation of online social media platforms etc. abusing people's data and the ability to dox someone, I just make all my stuff private by default :)

I also found this youtube video showing a Kamyshovo route: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhZTpGaGjeA "Loot Routes #5 - Kamyshovo to NW Airfield - DayZ Map Guide for PC, Xbox, & PS4". There are others for other spawn locations which seems decent.

Sounds like I need to look for stones more to make knives, since if I don't manage to find one I'm kind of screwed as far as getting bark off the trees or butchering.

I managed to do better with my most recent spawn (somewhere else on the map) though I have some kind of disease which is making me vomit up my food/drink so I guess I need to find antibiotics or something for that!

I'm talking about the M70 Tundra, which is a Winchester Model 70 IRL. And yes, it occasionally spawn on Official servers on Skalisty, same goes for Mosin, Blaze and scopes.

To be honest, unless someone just been there you rarely leave the place without one of the above.
