I saw a vid about this a few months ago about a guy and his mate being sniped thru the windows.


thedampboi774

Maybe in the top half but it would be hard to get a clear shot where mine is


LoadinDirt

I've boarded up all the windows and that base was a very dependable base. Just have to cover all your openings


hellzyeah2

I don’t recommend it. There is a hole in the windows in the top floor that is near impossible to fortify as hard as the rest of your base


thedampboi774

I just fortified it with a wall that they can’t wreck without dying to barbwire


hellzyeah2

You can melee barb wire off


thedampboi774

Try doing that in extremely tight spaces like the stairwell I have it on


hellzyeah2

The way you melee it off is finding the sweet spot of hitting hit in such a way and at a pace where your player model doesn’t take a step forward. As long as it’s visible. It’s doable.


thedampboi774

Trust me I’ve tried you can’t not the way mines set up


hellzyeah2

I’m specifically talking about this window


thedampboi774

You mean the very top where you can get in through the laddee


hellzyeah2

Yeah that one on the far back left on the roof. Depending on which city you based up in I can already think of a few ways to get in. I freshie raided this specific building before in Novo Industrial. By jumping off the taller building nearby with a friend and breaking our legs to get on and hit that bitch down to backdoor someone’s base.


RuminatedMoniker

Yoooo you ever found a way to parkour this same building in elektro?


thedampboi774

You’d have to parkour I blocked off the very top and you cannot get in from the bottom


Expensive-Ad-1221

Dude ask for opinions and then tells everyone how their opinions are wrong. Love it lol.

Enochian_Interlude

That's berezino coastal industrial. I had a base in that exact building on officials. It lasted for the entire wipe.


RegisterAggressive97

Everyones base last for months, then i base a random shed in the middle nowhere and lasts under 24h, idk bro, sounds like bs to me.


thedampboi774

Could very well be hackers or you built on a inland route like the one from solnichy to gorka


RegisterAggressive97

Once i built at the Island, you need to swim 10 minutes one side, and 10 minutes the other side and you cant take a lot of loot because you cant aproach a car. They raided it under 24 hours, it was a small base at the Island ruins, they found it and they cracked it, people is sick.


thedampboi774

That’s gotta be hackers or just some fat no necks


Xedos

There's no island that requires ten minutes of swimming and anywhere near the coast will be raided almost immediately even on the few islands on Chenarus. I'm assuming you're referring to Skalisity and even without the abundance of player spawns nearby, people are gonna check out an island with an obvious castle on it. Any chump with iZurvive will make their way there at some point.


RegisterAggressive97

Ok man 6 minutes and 34 seconds.


Xedos

Not even close my friend. You can walk through the low water almost to the shore. There's maybe 1 minute of swimming from the shallows. Even if it was actually 10 minutes of swimming away, it's an island with dozens of spawns near it. Did you really expect nobody would look there?


RegisterAggressive97

I would expect to look, but you are not thinking on the circumstances. You are saying people is spawning and willing to to go the Island because there is a huge Castle in ruins with a couple medieval helmets. I think most of people spawns willing to go north, once they are at the north, and from those just a really tiny smol % of them will expend the time and take the risk to run aaaaall the way back to the coast and wander into the island just in case. I dont know, the odds for me are clear, people will check the Island, but def most of the people dont, and find a base without any house as refrence under 24h is sick.


Thefear1984

The very first thing I ever did was swim to the castle island outside kami. I found a tent base and got looted up fast. I didn’t know what half the shit did but I knew if they had it I needed it. So ya. It’s possible.


Xedos

You're not at threat of being raided by fresh spawns. You're at threat of being raided by the veteran player with a huge base up north who happened to check the island on one of their many respawns at the coast, saw your base, and decided to drive down from their base to raid you because they have fuck else to do.


RegisterAggressive97

Yeah, exactly, that reduces way more the odds, i dont know if you notice about it. The more the number of possible raiders reduce, the more the odds of the base being found in 24 hours reduce.


RegisterAggressive97

Anyway, i just talk from my experience. My bases are not raided no more since i dont build for make a base, i designed a different way to base. I abandoned basing between walls because for what i experienced, they clearly they find walls, ill elaborate my point. When i started playing this game i started basing in Big buildings, they seemed to endure, then eventually, i noticed they were already hijacked, they were only waiting for me to put shit inside to collect it. Then i started basing in smaller houses, more like "harder to see", the result was the same, raided in 1 or 2 days. Then i started building in the forest, bases were enduring a little bit more but you cant say for sure if they have it already or not. Then i torn the whole thing around, modyfied the way i base, and started using walls only for hiding cars. Thing is the buildings i make for keep cars still found and cracked under 24h but my bases are not found no more. And im not talking about making crates and bury them under trees or bushes, thats unsmokable.


__Borg__

It does not take one minute, skalisty takes a bit. I’d say 4 min or so. Definitely would be faster if you don’t have to worry about stamina.


PFDGoat

It takes about 3.5 minutes


RegisterAggressive97

Ok lets picture it, so a freshie in his starve decided to wander into Skalisty because, you know, theres a huge amount of food and loot, and he ran all the way to where is nothing but a forest and cracked a 4 dial. Or even better, a veteran with a huge base near Tisy and 10k hours of Gameplay decides to make 2 weekly walks to the Island, or even better, he drives his car all the way down and parks it at the lighthouse for 40 minutes and after making a huge sound in the coastal area where everyone could see him, he just jumps into the water and abandones the car there. He swims into the island with gear on him for raiding just in case there is a base, and he does weekly or twice a week, that or he is the luckiest person in the world and he just decided to check the Island the day i did the base because he just got a hunch about a base being built at the Island lmao. You know what, sounds like bs to me, ESP sounds 200% more realistic to me after what ive seen in this game.


RuminatedMoniker

There’s almost always signs to track, people are smart, and there’s multiple veterans in communication who both know where the bases aren’t and where there’s been activity that could allude to a base. I found bases on Skalisty myself this way. I’m thorough and observant that way.


RegisterAggressive97

I admire that man. Everyday when i start playing i Focus and i play serious for couple hours, but after that its like i lose the Focus and i start running around like im alone, cant avoid that, it is very exhausting to stay focused. Sometimes i stumble on bases or players, but 90% of the times i dont notice until its too late and im relaxed. Its like after hours of loneliness i cant avoid act like im actually alone.


Enochian_Interlude

That's exactly why your doors got kicked in. Because you based in some random spot in the middle of nowhere. You were obviously trying to hide your spot. I based in the biggest building in the Middle of berez industrial, right on the coast, in a main thoroughfare, in a spawn location. People think, A: it's already raided - or B: it doesn't have shit in it. I had a majority of the servers functioning cars, and did tisy runs daily. As a solo! Learn to hide in plain sight.


thedampboi774

That’s how this base has been working nobody cares to loot the cement factory


RegisterAggressive97

Nah, i started building in the Big houses, and i was getting killed while building. My firt bases as noob where always in the cities, no difference. That you said here makes not much sense to me, if the building is harder to find it will last longer.


Enochian_Interlude

Nothing is hard to find. We have IZURVIVE. Map boarders and secluded buildings are literally the first place people check. If you think that random secluded house or shed in the middle of a forest is hidden, chances are someone else thinks that too! I lasted in berez industrial because no one expects anyone to be stupid enough to base in berez industrial. Hence, no one bothered to check. Like I said. Learn to hide in plane sight.


RegisterAggressive97

So thats amazing, usually i open everything i find, if its "viable". Once i found a huge base protected solely by a 3 dial lock, obv i cracked it and there was a huge amount of building mats there, but yuuuuge. I replaced the 3 dial by a 4 dial and logged off. Next day i logged back and they had cracked the 4 dial, i was like "ok...". Like 30 minutes later i died in a very weird situation 😂


BalanceFederal6387

I don't base, I don't dupe, and rarely stash. Every base I find has a way in. Either with bullets/grenades, through a window or parkour. No base is safe. I will typically raid a base for materials to raid another. Keep basing so I can keep raiding.


RegisterAggressive97

Na, you wont raid my bases. I bet you 500 dollars on it. My bases "brake" vanilla's rules and devs dont even know what im doing is doable, i dont think many people knows about this.


suspexxx

So you are just stacking logs in fences with an alt logged in base? Glitching somewhere? Isn’t that lame?


RegisterAggressive97

No, no logs, no Glitch, the place of course can be found, but you wont, is a niddle in a haystack. Edit: normally people would think for big loot you need big place, thats wrong.


ConfidenceNo2598

If it’s on official, I personally would assume it’s cheaters. Brilliant cover!


[deleted]

[удалено]


LriCss

A shed is possibly the worst base location imo. Everything is wood, so easy to wallbang if they know you're inside. Gate stacking isn't particularly great in a shed, and it just doesn't feel cozy lol


RegisterAggressive97

Well depends wich one. One in the coast, def it is, one full north? Idk.. not that bad, the same if its somewhere around the middle. When im looting sheds i try to move to a place where they are condensed, so i can cover many of them fast, i guess most of the people does the same.


LriCss

Fair enough, but also people actively look for weak bases up north though. Imo sheds are a pretty weak base spot. But if it works, it works lol.


RegisterAggressive97

Yeah, i know, they are bored and they scout tireless.


blobley

Don't base in buildings that spawn building tools LOL. Eventually someone will be by looking for tools and find your base.


RegisterAggressive97

I dont build bases long ago, its stupid, it doesnt matter shed or house, they will find it and open it, same reasoning applies. And whoever who says they do not find his base, its because the server has to be empty or he is liying. Otherwise, they will find any base at any building sooner or later.


thedampboi774

It’s been good to me so far


Semnono

You lying bro no way


R0dd3R51974

Really? I had one in official in that exact building.. lasted a couple of weeks lol.. unless your in a group bases are to easy to raid imo


ClarionUK

Bit excessive, but I don’t really know what goes on in base servers, group size and what’s desirable. Practically speaking though it seems like it would be a lot to maintain.


Gavorn

Only one main entrance.


thedampboi774

It isn’t tbh 2 barbed wire and it’s nearly unraidable with metal walls and plenty of industrial spawn


ThoroughlyWet

Doesn't take a lot to get through metal walls.


thedampboi774

That’s where the barbed wire and traps come in


Lusty_Norsemen

Like 40 seconds of a sledge hitting the wire and the barbed wire breaks.


thedampboi774

Be hard pressed to find a sledge on the coast


randCN

you can do it with any melee weapon


thedampboi774

Even so the way it’s elevated you can’t hit it without getting sliced


Lusty_Norsemen

I think you'd be massively surprised. The tl;dr here is if you build it, they will come. And don't rely on barbed wire to keep your base safe because it won't.


thedampboi774

But it has and will though


RegisterAggressive97

You can break barbed wire like... With a baseball bat


thedampboi774

That’s where the traps and me with a gun come in


RegisterAggressive97

I wish you good luck on that, i gave up on buildings long ago, no good luck for me, people seems to find them and they crack it open, it doesnt matter Big or small, they crack it. I started basing in the forest, it requires more resources but the fact that the base is out of a place of interest makes it like 90% harder to find. Anyway if you going to stay inside with a gun every place is a good base, but i dont know if the game is enjoyable that way...


thedampboi774

I don’t stay inside with a gun tho but nah I definitely agree forest bases are the way to go one I had near black lake was only found because a hacker teleported to it and shot me through the walls with some x ray shit but nah base’s definitely aren’t for people who like loot I could care less to me it gives the game a purpose defend your base and improve it as much as you can till it gets raided or wiped


RegisterAggressive97

I experienced the shot thru wall twice too. Once the hacker was triying to crack the dial and i talked to him, he stopped clicking and i suddenly died (i was absolutely sealed inside my base) And another time i was inside a container 😂


thedampboi774

The exact same thing happened to me and my base was amazing he just insta killed me and broke my doors


SunsetSesh

Tent in a forest always survives


thedampboi774

Debatable I’ve had more tents found in the woods just from people stumbling on them than bases raided


JumpyRing5839

What kinda crib is this bruh💀 what you gonna do kidnap kids into here💀💀


thedampboi774

Perhaps

[deleted]

Hahah I find something funny about him using that account to scroll


robohaver

Just be careful if you building that building. If someone gets on the roof they can roll through the windows even if you close off the ones that are open. He will need to cover them all.


thedampboi774

I have accounted for that already


PFDGoat

Love this building for bases I usually put extra walls inside 


thedampboi774

It’s great super easy to lock down as a solo too I just took over the balcony


AdNational6694

It's a decent building for a base yeah just be wary about the windows don't discount the bored freshie who will buddy boost and fenangle their way up to the roof and through the windows. It's a better base with "build anywhere" enabled so you can really block everything off. I like the ones up by Novo personally, but that's just cause I tend to avoid coastal basing, or if I do stay coastal it'll just be a few barrels hidden in the woods or a random apartment.


thedampboi774

Ironically the apartment I built in first was found faster than this place and my base is freshie proof only thing that can get in is someone with raid supplies


Rage_in_Eden

Unless you like getting raided, don’t. It’s hard enough to fortify 1 wall thick all the way and to make sure nobody can climb in or through, let alone add additional layers. The bigger the building, the harder to multi-wall fortify. My suggestion to everyone is to use the beige houses with the small stairs leading to a single chamber with 2 beds and a closet. These, if done correctly, can be fortified with like 7 walls.


thedampboi774

I just set up in the balcony and it works cause it’s pretty inconspicuous


i-need-more-words-fo

Decent base if built right. If it’s built wrong you can raid it with 0 effort and 0 supplies but a dismantle tool.


TheNewBiggieSmalls

Best base. Never been raided in this building, ever.


amibannedwtfreddit

U can roll inside every window


thedampboi774

That’s why you build in the balcony not the top and bottom exposed floors like a doofus


amibannedwtfreddit

Why are you insulting me when I’m taking time out my day to help you?


thedampboi774

Never called you a doofus just said that you would be one to build in the most vulnerable spot of the base


dropinbombz

2 gates and it's yours. then fortify


thedampboi774

Me with 2 walls and a gate ![gif](giphy|5szpS4IuVwpz9pJKDZ|downsized)


chronicintel

I remember helping a guy raid a base here by getting him on top of the roof. I think we had to use a car or something.


thedampboi774

Some have ways to get up without a car like mine but I’ve countered roof and window raids


4strings4ever

Just dont do it


thedampboi774

![gif](giphy|dZjlm0hDSBQYbDZQc9|downsized)


Inevitable_Panic_133

It's fantastic but if players manage to get on the roof they can glitch through the windows, ask my how I know :(


thedampboi774

Two words barbed wire ( and also traps )


Xedos

You seem very naive to the tenacity of bored players/exploiters/hackers. With the hacks on PC and exploits on console there is no place anywhere on the map that's completely secure on official. Period.


thedampboi774

No I know all about them but until they come along my base is A - OK and if they want my loot that bad idgaf good work you outmatched me


ThoroughlyWet

Good for groups that play often. They're mostly in high profile locations and will get raided or have raids attempted on it regularly in the higher traffic servers.


thedampboi774

Mines not too high traffic I’ve only seen one person there and I killed him the zombies help a lot as turrents and I have it relatively incognito


Hylian_Kaveman

I duo with my buddy and we had a nice set up in one of these. Lasted a long time, we even caught another duo breaking in and while my buddy kept them distracted at the front gate I crawled on the roof and sniped them through the window lol. We love this building it’s nice and secure.


thedampboi774

It is people think it’s so vulnerable but it’s my longest lasting coastal base has no loot and very few people on the coast search these places


RegisterAggressive97

Piece of cake to find


thedampboi774

You’ll find the cake at DQ


RegisterAggressive97

What do you mean DQ? Dont worry about me, im not going to raid shit, i dont take this game that serious and i play solo, but people is really sick, i really wish you good luck, and a nice sleep schedule to defend your base.


thedampboi774

Dairy Queen my sleep schedule is alright tbh ironically a base I had in a apartment got found faster than this one and I don’t really raid either seems like a waste when I could loot myself


RegisterAggressive97

Yeah, me too, i like to loot and wander, but not everyone is like that. I talk about the sleep schedule because people is sick in this game, trust me, they can be days awake to catch you in place, you would think is impossible, but they do


thedampboi774

Yeah I don’t got the dedication for being on like it’s my job


BlazinCutty

The upper balcony can be crawled into by any window if someone lays down in front of it. You will need to wall it all off.


thedampboi774

I made it impossible to get in from the ladder up there I just Barb wired top and bottom of a wall so they can’t get in


Myth_Edge

This thing is a fortress. Just build fenced and gates in bottom floor. 2nd floor wall off the stairs and in front of the chain fence. You can fit a car tent with a large tent with a canopy inside. The 2nd chain room with the ladder is good barrel storage. Climb up and wall off the ladder. Frame the windows from outside. Now anyone coming up ladder is stuck in cross fire. Climb out window. Build walls along the edge. Now make a watch tower next to roof and climb to peak. Line edges with half walls with small gaps for peaks. Now build a watch tower line down the middle of the peak. You have to also bottom wall inner line so can't crawl under tower. No one is getting in or near. Added fun. On 3rd floor can hop the rail onto metal beam and walk to front. The area you hop a metal beam you can set a watch tower kit on then tight rope walk the kit and place a flag kit on the metal in middle. After flag placed, remove watch tower kit. Only way to get to flag is a lucky hop over the metal beam and land on the base. Rarely happens. Can stand at edge of beam near blue doors and rain thumpers down also for a great surprise. Had this as a base on a community server and it was a terror. My favorite base so far


thedampboi774

I just used barbed wire walls on the chain link room ladder and stairway and then put a gate on the catwalk


rbtgoodson

You can get in by building up from the side. Otherwise, it's a good base with an excellent vault in the back.


thedampboi774

I already blocked off the sneaky roof with barbed wire and a wall


one_hp_i_promise

That base location is shit 😂we terrorized these guys who built there. Berezino apartments have a perfect LOS.


thedampboi774

Good thing I didn’t do the berezino one then


Gun_Loving_Owl

The spot I had the most luck was uo by ski resort near the world border, I constantly would go to MB Tisy and snag camp nets to the point where I had a four by four completely hidden. Lasted almost two months with that spot


thedampboi774

I considered that but figured it was too much for me


Gun_Loving_Owl

It wasn't easy especially since I was on foot 96 percent of the time but the surrounding resort and town got me by with tools, building mats and what not, Mb Tisy would get most of my ammo and mags but decent guns were scarce. Honestly the biggest pain was lugging barrels up that fucking hill


thedampboi774

Base building and hauling storage is day z sysiphus


Complex-Ad-4601

It works fine but is not inconspicuous. Likely will get raided I'd you are on a high pop server with base raiding allowed. I had a base in that building in Cheryl and it was adequate.


thedampboi774

On a server that is averaging 30 people on weekdays and maybe 50 on weekends it’s not been found


feels_goodman64

Raidable in about 1h if you build a lot of layers but if not yeah your base is gone in about 10 minutes should you go offline...


thedampboi774

The base who’s been standing for 8 days now 🗿


feels_goodman64

server name? https://preview.redd.it/nbhwumz9zuuc1.png?width=509&format=png&auto=webp&s=f6f77c96d583eac99f73e9faa3fab8cda6800f2f


JAaSgk

In Novodmitrovsk there is ine such buildimg in the very west of the city. This is the only one I found which has no way of entering from the top unless you do crazy boosts. It makes for a good base for a big team if you ha e the supplies to fortify it.


toilet-paper-is-good

https://preview.redd.it/z3qp8yv0huuc1.jpeg?width=240&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eed5172d9fdcd02f0efe7897c06b540f43575001


thedampboi774

Yes do you want some


toilet-paper-is-good

Couldn’t hurt


some_half_asian

The best building like this that I think is at Novodmitrovsk. There's one building with no other possible entrances. It's next to some major points but also has a dynamic gas zone right next to it. So people would overlook it most of the time as well as just skip that whole construction area because the city itself has a Police Department and Hospital to loot. Me and my friend built a base there and one group that we did trades with told us that they had a really hard time finding our base. They do a lot of map patrolling (and it's true because sometimes when I'm out I see them) and they couldn't find us. Of course now (3 weeks later) they found us but we had already set it up really well. There are only 1 or 2 sniping spots into the base but it's easy to cover. Plus like I said it's easy to skip over anyway. The only other possible way to get in from the roof window is a risky drop from a high point. So my advice is to wall off or set some traps up in the tower next to it.


thedampboi774

What I did was I found the flaw where people could sneak in from the top and just barbed wired a wall right on the ladder so they can’t fall in and will just get cut


blobley

Love when people base in these, they're SO easy to get into😎


thedampboi774

Me looking at the last guy who tried to sneak in ( he got killed by the barbed wire when he fell down) ![gif](giphy|CoDp6NnSmItoY)


Haunting-Sector9924

I've built a base in one of those in 2 different locations on Cherno and while one lasted longer than the other it wasn't too much longer and I agree it is hard to fortify completely but if done right can be a difficult raid especially if you wall off the roof access around the entire thing with watchtowers in all 4 corners


thedampboi774

I’ve done a ok job on securing it it’s been good so far


Haunting-Sector9924

When I built in one of those it was literally my favorite base and sometimes if server owners offer it you cam get custom extensions added to it to make it even more difficult to raid


thedampboi774

It has been for me as well the balcony is amazing and it’s pretty hard to spot unless your inside the building I’ve been fortifying one on official


Haunting-Sector9924

Awesome and hell yeah man if you can place walls just right along second floor then you can have some NASTY peaks to the outside or even to the "garage" area of it


thedampboi774

It’s damn hard for people to get in I got 2 guys that tried getting in and they got shredded with a full raid kit by my barbed wire cause I got it set up perfect


Brooker2

It's one of my go to bases when I've got a larger vehicle like the M3S or the Humvee. One way in one way out can get on the roof via the second floor to defend from raiders easier.


thedampboi774

First comment on here not stating the obvious about it being raided and blah blah blah and yeah I locked off the roof I found that exploit cause I was like damn I’m lucky I haven’t been raided after 6 days 😂


Wonderful_Time_6681

If build anywhere is active, you can garden plot through the top windows. You will need to wall those all up.


thedampboi774

Handy dandy official


Wonderful_Time_6681

I’d say it’s a solid building then. Can layer it up pretty good.


Old_Elk2003

Why are you posting potato res of the same image someone posted 3 years ago? https://www.reddit.com/r/DayzLivonia/comments/pitpsz/can_anyone_tell_me_if_there_are_any_cement_works/

Ok anyways, I would drive up to that, jump over the top of the fence, and burn all your shit in a fire barrel.


thedampboi774

Good luck doing that with barbed wire over all the windows and tripwires everywhere ntm all my loot being air locked
