Fans of DayZ who are looking for a great place to set up their base should look at the entries below.
DayZ has a huge world for players to explore and scavenge in, so it’s not surprising that many of them will want a place to settle down and store their hard-won loot. Base building is an important part of the game, and it can be very helpful to know not only what to build but also where to build it.
Even though most bases will get attacked, some are more remote or better able to defend themselves than others, and some have everything a player needs to set up shop. Here are the best places in DayZ to set up a base.
Zvir Hunting Shack
Zvir isn’t often visited by players because it’s on the western edge of the map, far from the coast, and doesn’t have many places to loot. The Zvir Hunting Shack, which you can find by going up the northwestern road from the town, is a great place to set up.
It is one of the most remote places on the map, and most players tend to avoid Hunting Shacks anyway. This makes it one of the best places to build a base in DayZ game. But there isn’t much room to build inside the shack, and there isn’t much loot or supplies in the area around it.
Chernarus Radio Tower
The Radio Tower is another very isolated place. It is south of Zvir, west of Kamenka, and on the western edge of the map. It’s a beautiful place with a unique radio tower that lets you see the nearby wilderness in every direction.
Aside from being on a high spot where you can shoot at possible raiders, the site is already partly surrounded by a metal fence and has a small building to store things in. This small property will serve players well until they have enough gear to go to a place with more people.
Biathlon Tunnel
The Biathlon Tunnel is one of the few underground areas in DayZ, making it a pretty interesting place to set up. It has two entries, one on each side, and a road runs through it. It is just south of the Biathlon Arena.
The tunnel is very easy to defend because there are only two openings to watch and the player is protected on all other sides by solid concrete. It’s also a great place to store a car, since players can just open a gate and drive north to the arena or south to Western Evac, one of the best places to loot in Flappy Bird game. Even so, raiders are often in the area and might find the camp by accident and decide to break in.
Mogilevka Church
Mogilevka is easy to get to from the coast, so it might be best for players who just hatched or don’t want to go too far to get back to base after dying. As a center town, it’s also not too far from important places like the Northwestern Airfield.
The church has only one entrance, which makes it easy to defend. And it has a good amount of room inside. As for Mogilevka itself, the town is a stone’s throw from the church and has key resources like a well for fresh water, a lot of animals for food, and hunting shops with weapons and clothes.
Lopatino Scrapyard
This industrial complex is just west of Lopatino. It has a lot of basic building materials, such as wood, boards, nails, and sheet metal. You can use these to build a good-sized base, which makes the Lopatino Scrapyard one of the easier places to start building without having to worry too much about materials.
Even though the Northwestern Airfield is usually in a quiet part of the map, it is right next to Lopatino town, which can be both a good thing (because it makes it easier to go stealing) and a bad thing (because it means more people will be there). The person has to decide if this risk is worth taking or not.
Galkino Forest House
The Galkino Forest House is a beautiful place to stay in the woods and do some PvP. It has a great view of Krona Castle, which is not far away. The nearby castle is a popular place for players to hang out, and clans often fight over the area. This makes the Forest House a great place to start raids from.
The area also has a well for water, a shed for building materials. And a nearby pond with a steady supply of fish, making it a good place to hide if players want to.
Severograd School
Since this base is on the edge of Severograd, it will almost certainly be attacked at some point during its time there. Even so, this building is great for clans or large groups of people. Because it has many places to store things and many places to build.
With enough walls and people, players can turn this old school into a fortress. That can keep out even the most determined raiders. Being close to Severograd also makes it easy and rewarding to find basic goods by looting.
Polonina Wooden Cabin
This location is great for players who want to live in the wild. This peaceful log house is just southwest of Polonina. It’s perfect for a quiet, building-focused game.
The compound has a garage where people can park their cars and a lot of flat land. So that it can grow easily and without any problems. There is also a stream nearby for water, and players can get food from apple and pear trees or hunt in the nearby woods. It’s in a remote part of the map, like the Radio Tower and the Hunting Shack. Players just need to keep an eye on the road nearby and they should be fine.
Novaya Apartments
Setting up a base in the Novaya Apartments is not for the faint of heart. Because it will promise regular PvP. The houses are a bit of a maze on the inside, with lots of tight hallways and stairs that can be used as choke points or to set traps. This should make the house very hard to attack, especially if there are a lot of people there.
The area is south of Novaya Petrovka and close to the Northern Airfield. A lot of players pass through the area, and there are often fights between them. The apartments are in the middle of everything. And players inside will be able to hear fights going on close and act accordingly. So, even though the area is very dangerous, it also has a lot to offer, so players should keep this in mind if they decide to set up their base here.
DayZ can be played on Windows, the PS4, and the Xbox One.
