This guide deals with a created video of mine, showing a looting route that you can take to get geared in DayZ Standalone.
This is an update version of a loot route that I've been using since the alpha days. Even after all this time passing, it is still a very effective loot route that I can only recommend. The route goes along the west side of the map.
This guide contains a video only, without any written parts in the guide itself. You rembember topics like this better by watching than by simply reading about it.
