Snipers of DayZ

[fojaxx]

what are your favorite sniping locations?

This is my newest favorite. most of you may be able to recognize it- its the top of the mountain on the road between cherno and electro.

why i like it:

• great view- can see all the way to cherno, or electro
  
• highly trafficked route
  
• difficult/slow for attackers to climb up to
  
• perfect view of the last water spigot leaving electro
  
• almost impossible to hit a person up there who is prone, only another sniper would be able to do it.

olsha or ostry, both overlook the airstrip near svetlojarsk and the view is great as is the places to hide in ostry.

thats a sweet spot i am not a sniper but looking forward to seeing some different peeps spots

[Jackal]

I'm a good sniper but don't go out of my way to find spots to kill players, so I don't have a favorite spot for killing others, if that is what you mean.

if im sniping at the NE airfeild- i usualy use the roof top of the office complex in krasnostav. its a bit sketchy because you cant realy see your imediate surroundings, but on the other hand- unless someone climbs right up, its difficult to hit you there.

that is what i mean. i never used to hunt players, but i've been killed so many times trying to help people out, by the people im trying to help, that i dont care anymore.

That screenshot made me laugh. If all i was going to do in this game is lay prone and hope for pointless bambi kills, i would uninstall straigh away mate...

Me and my partner, back when we were more serious playing this game, used to overwatch Balota on high pop servers, killing any bandits we saw robbing new spawns down below. It was from up on the hill, just north of the airfield through the first tree line, west of the small group of buildings north of Balota. Range from that hill to the single story barracks; 500m. The control tower and all of the open field was well in range if one was equipped with the proper Mosin.

alot of people go to the big apartment buildings overlooking balota, i wouldn't go there unless i had someone else to watch my back while i snipe, i prefer forested hills so i can hide and or run if things head south

i find sniping at balota very frustrating- outside of the air feild i cant realy find a spot i like. the hill near dubky is good, but you realy only have a good shot at the barracks. if a player where to stick close to the buildings as he ran from one to the next, you wouldnt have that many shots at him. ofcourse you could go down near the end of the airfeild, or in the bush on the balota side of it, but thats a bit too close for my taste- starting to get within accurate range of an m4, lol

Group ops, Helping out fresh spawns, hunting for bambi snipers, lots of travelling, close quarters combat. The list of things to do in this game is almost endless, especially if you have a group of like minded folks. Sniping, though appealing to some agreed, is not to to ohers in this game.

troling? no, im simply indicating that i have no interest in your rant. this is a thread about sniping, not about what you think is the best and worst ways to play the game. as you have clearly indicated, this game has a multitude of ways to play it, so saying or indicating one way is better or worse then the other is downright ignorant.

if you wish to discuss the most popular play style of the game, please make your own discussion instead of cluttering up mine with rants that are completely irrelevant to the discussion's topic.
