DayZ Solo BASE Building Tips 2 - TOP Buildings to Barricade for Beginners PC Xbox PS4 PS5 Console 

Oh my god, the "something fun to do" part is SOOOOOO IMPORTANT. We need more people to treat it as such

DayZ desperately needs a building system update.

Just want to say I subscribed right at the end of the into because I like how you kept it real like you know what people would do you told them you made it easy. Super dope. That's a sub from me. I'm getting the game tomorrow so I'm learning as much as I can

The three floor barn in nagornoe was my first base thanks to you! Its off most player's path so for now our base is pretty hidden, we divided our base in "rooms" with their own code locks just for us to not have a sneak peak lol, this spot is awesome!

nice video, i just started learning about bases, thank you for these tips

I never see people ever mention the garage office. My favorite building for solo. One entrance with 2 stories, plenty of room

Love this video, my bases tend to be tents with camo nets in the middle of the forest and located by landmarks only. But I have built others as well. Some really good ideas here.

The base/bases on the damn is legit!! Love that water front property

That red barn base is awesome. My crew has one. You can easily fit a canopy tent in one side and 2 small tents on the other. We have so much storage and space. We blocked off the two lower sides with more gates to protect our tent storage. We even built an outer airlock with an external watchtower. To get to our loot someone would have to bust down at least 2 gates. No-one has tried yet. Hopefully we'll keep it till the server wipe ;)

The very first comment you did I think Is the best one ! Even if you have 10 walls with codelocks and whatever your base IS gonna get raided so it's best to keep your best loot in stashes !

I just moved my base this weekend. It went as bad as it could except I didn’t die. Got lost driving at night. Got to my new place and I forgot to pack my pliers. Finally got it done though 😅 I moved into the three level barn. Did almost exactly what you did. Watchtower one side and gate other side. Added some walls to block gaps. So far so good! ❤

Shed bases really good for storing NBC loot especially near rify/berezino. Apartment bases also cool

Thanks very much mate. 300 hours in, so now finally gonna start building. 😁

My first base was in the wood improvised shelters camo net with base fences only to create more cover but not obvious walls worked for a very long time.

Perfect timing! About to start my first base! THANK YOU!

Brooo thanks so much for the dam idea me and my friend have been wanting to base at the dam for so long but didnt know a good spot

Best base idea, don't leave your loot inside the base. I have 8 walls you have to get through and no loot at the end for anyone dumb enough to try. I hate everyone on my server.

Great video. My request, Single door church. Mogilevka has one.

Thank you =)

The black houses are good to build too. You can have 3 easy gates without mods and if you have free building you can add up to 10 gates on a small house

I’ve got like 6 brush shelters spread across the spawn town of ***********. So far they have hardly been touched and I’ve got quite a bit stashed

Best place to make a base in my opinion is anywhere that gives you more ways out than in. If you can potentially hop over your own walls and flank an attacker then great. It also helps if you know you aren’t winning the fight. For storage of my most valuable gear that I don’t think I could take with me in a pinch I keep them in fireplaces and other similar places. If I’m getting raided then I can light them if I don’t think I can defend the base

Could you do a video on bases that could store a vehicle. Also I've never seen those camping tents, what would be the purpose of having one inside a building?

My longest lasting stashes have been single crates in random bushes in areas that look super boring. I spread the stashes around, so they don't all get discovered at once.

I have yet to build a base but ive been invited into some amazing ones. for some reason i enjoying roaming the land with no home.

It is always good to leave building supplies in a raided base. They will be tempted to rebuild somewhere else for future raids

I'm not too much into bases, I'm more of a solo/ nomadic style of playthrough. That being said, one thing I have yet to figure out how to find or get is a tent. Namely a smallish one like what you have inside that base. Where do I find these? Especially on a vanilla server, where there's no traders to my knowledge

What are your thoughts on barricading a red brick pub? Specifically the on in grishino. It’s in a good spot away from zombies, close to airfield, and close to base building supples. It just has a lot of windows.

hey :) where was that red barn that u used? if u dont mind me asking sadly i need to be 150m away from 'main roads' but that looks like it would work

As a pve player in a pve server this helped tremendously thank you

Good tip to prevent raiders from tearing down the rest of your walls to take your nails or to be just mean if they get inside is to make all your walls into gates and put locks on them. Raiders can’t tear down gates with locks they’ll have to waste resources destroying it to take down.

The first is in fact my base... You 😂 also showcase the exact same spot 😅 place don't raise me! Another tip is stash your loot in multiple places around the very same area do help defending the very same... Another good example is take a barrel and find a big tree and take down that tree, you must place the very same barrel in the middle and open! The server will restart and the barrel will be in the tree, and you do have a place that everybody looks but never will imagend to search in to it!

Personally, the red roofed barn design is a little weird. What you could also do is use watchtower roofs over the middle section and build multiple gates like an airlock, but then use the barn stairs to get up on the watchtower level. Just my two cents on the matter.

I once had a base in the barn in Zeleno and it lasted really long cause nobody went there. Everyone was busy looting the military base, garages, hospital and so on and just ignored the lousy barn in the middle of town.

Cool video as always thank you 👍😎 never been to vanilla, actually never even been to a toxic zone yet and I must be about 10 months now ?🤔😱 .. Anyways I'm on a build anywhere server now & I'm at fishing village 😎 it's great here very underated imo 🤔 or I'm just used to being a loner 🤣 all my back is covered by huge mountain & I popped in 4 towers in a square,4 more towers out front on the rocks etc and to get my few barrels of junk errr I mean amazing tier 3 stuff 😂 you'd have to raid through at least 30 or 40 metal 4 Digi locked gates with various barbed wire ... Along with certain stairs you need to know how to get up to get up or it just won't let you 🤪😂 the main stairs to my barrels you can't get past the top step unless you're carrying nothing 😱 so you can't head up armed 🤔☹️😂 I have almost 40 separate lock combos in use throughout. The Whole thing is quite frankly a working miracle 🤔👍😎🤪 & sea views 😎🤣 there must be 100 or maybe more gates or fences all together 😱 I haven't stopped building since reset I think I have base building addiction 🤔👀☹️🤣 & I can drive now too cos for a few months before & after reset I'd just walk metal etc back to here , as you do 🤔👍🤪🤪🤪😂

I made a base in a barn, why can’t I get back in? I set the lock and was able to put it on the gate but seems as I can’t reach the lock even though I can see it, does the lock need to be closer to the opening? Like an offset door instead of squares up, I’m new and I think I messed up

Is staroye a good base location? and what does a flag pole do?

I would love to build a base been on a server for a while vinilla + can’t find a pair of pilers to save my life

I've been playing for a out 2 years now, I have server hopped official in search of one thing... Nails.. for 2 weeks now in one playthrough I've looked for about 5 hours per day. I find everything else but nails. I've searched from the north to the south and have yet to find one box of friggin nails... I have a plate carrier, field bag and large clothing which are all full of loot with 3-4 stashes throughout the world on one server. I don't know where else to go to find yhem

Can you build a stick tent in a barn?

My first base i have under dam, i have there 4 gates. And i have cover wall from water side

A new PC COmmunity server called Default DayZ is out now! Vanilla only!

Brown sheds all day. Single gate and you gotta base. Especially potent on no-raid servers

As of 6-27-23 I was unable to build fences or gates inside several structures in vanallia servers. Do y'all know when this or why this happened? Thanks n advance.

My main question is how'd you get all those barrels!

Just want to point out that having a double gate system at enttrance is excellent. But the first gate must not have a lock. That way you can quickly open and close it. Giving you cover to unlock the actual first gate. Follow up with locked gates for additional security.

Small factory is a good building site

REMEMBER! The wire will go on the left inside of the fence gates, and the combo lock will be on the right inside, so that will need to be accessible from the outside (left) of whatever doorway you're using!

temporary is nice said i made a tent the over day - next day it was gone xd

Anyone been having issues placing walls lately? It seems like there’s hardly any areas I can add a wall/gate where I used to be able to previously build them, on Xbox

Is there anything we can do about doors spawning as open on server restarts?

i play on official servers, and same players logout on other servers and enter on my server to try ghost in on my base -_-... any tips?

Don't you need flagposts nowadays to keep your base save from decaying?

I learned a lot from ur videos from when i was a beginner and this is nice but ill be honest lol, as a strictly solo official 1pp player, I dont see any of this lastintnlong for the amount of work it will take unless i live on a low pop server ;(😢

Did you stacked 2 first floor watchtower on top of eachother in the dam? Because that isnt possible on official

People can get thru the gaps up top. Uncon and fall in

I legit hide in plain sight, I love improvised shelters lol

I hate to say it, but building bases on official, is a complete waste of time. Unless your squad is actually online to defend it. Since I usually roll in small groups or solo, the only bases I build are shed bases to park cars in. Other than that I resort to hidden stashes. It takes so much more effort to build, then raid a base on vanilla. Great video tho

i really wanna make a base with my friends but they think its too hard and is for nerds

What’s vanilla mean?

Location of bases?

Those are cute. My base has 72 gates between 2 apartments that we connected with a sky bridge of fence platforms that we can walk across. Ofc it’s on a vanilla ish community server because I’ve played official for 2 1/2 years but constantly got offlined, people swimming in, alts raids for literally 10 hour fights..

Be careful were you put ur walls if you do it wrong you cant reach ur lock

Don’t you need flag to keep base

In real life the dam wins out. The first base can easily be set ablaze,the hay bales doesn’t help. The dam minimizes this,fish are plentiful,camouflaged.

What he didn’t say is if your only building one wall your base is gone no matter what you can raid it with a box of nails 😂

never had much luck with bases in vanilla servers... those fuckers are persistent... 3figure chain lock can be hacked in like 20 minutes and the four digit one like 3 hours... always had to build like 3 to 4 doors to keep my loot safe but it's a bitch to get into since chain locks are shit since getting access is slow... otherwise good video

Mannnnnnn, the base building system needs rework. 8+ hours on an official sever building my base, just to be gone for 1 hour and someone raid it all

the truth is .nobody is going to show you there secret base location what stayed hidden until now.

These video only help the raiders. Don't use ANY of these places, be smart and be stealthy. Improvised tents are your best friend!

Garages #1. I have 5 gates protecting a car and gear with none of them showing externally. Funny thing is during the Christmas tree event I learned to bury my best loot nearby

Lol,,Good luck raiding my base on the animal house pve server on xbox,at the dam,in the pub....😂🤦‍♂️

Pointless to build bases you can break in to anything with 5 sledge hammers building system more like broken system.

Never understood why people love base building when it is clearly the most inferior way to store your loot.

Step 1…. Don’t play official servers

None of these are "good" bases spots for solo players on any map.. 10k hrs of exp here talking..

What about schools? Are they any good for bases?

Wtf you can stack fences?

2 tents? nah bruh i could literally cram 8 tents in there easily in that last one

What is your opinion on locking a shed door with a lock pick?Are they fairly secure that way?Cheers.🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺🇦🇺
