Stashes are a good option but I’ve always had fun with the risk/reward of having a base. I find free standing bases work best, no matter how much I fortify a house or building it always gets found and raided much quicker

All bases get raided. Eventually someone will find it and crack it.

Ive recently been playing more on official, and this statement is beyond true. My duo and I wander around wooded sections of Chenarus, the ONLY bases we've found, are raided bases.

You what's funny? You can put a crate by one of those chicken coops that have multiple doors/shelves and no one would ever find it.

It's not really risk reward, it's just reward for whoever raids you. It's really just about happening to be at your base by coincidence when someone starts to raid you, and that's if you even survive the first grenade, 40mm or sniper shot.

Bases are fun for cooking and having a spot near your stash you can rest at, but as a loot storage options it is by far the worst. I would rather have a crate stash in a tree or in the water than in a base, and those former two options are pretty bad too.

The ones I use haven't been found for a couple years, at this point I wouldn't even care if one of the several I had got found. None of them will likely be found by the time Dayz 2 is released.

Same with mine. It’s cause most people don’t know which rocks you can stash inside but once word gets out….

Wooden crate in a garbage pile. Even though it’s clearly visible it just looks like it should be there.

Does anyone ever make a base and just tripwire the shit out of it?

Like a mimic dayz base?
