H1Z1 King of the Kill: Art of Camping

Art of Camping

Check my new tactic for the current (new) map

Art of Camping: Z2 Map

This is the tactic I usually use. It started with me trying to get to top 10 in the most safe way and now I regularly accomplish that. But to win you always need to win duels.
It has three phases:

1. Parachute Dive down to a safe area and loot
2. Movement Approach the circles close to the edge to avoid players
3. Final Win duels to win the game!

Parachute

Go as far out to the edge as possible. You can fly further by strafing, using A and D. It's possible to cover two squares.

There are plenty of safe places but if you start in the middle it can be difficult reaching them

These areas usually empty from players and have plenty of loot. Notice that from F-G 5-6 it's quite difficult to parachute into a safe area!

Movement

Timing

Each circle appear in intervals and the gas move in between. The first circle appears after 5 minutes, then there's a delay of 5 minutes and then shrinks for 5 minutes. After coming circles shrinks during 1 minute.
The first circle have 5 squares in radius and the next four shrinks it's radius with 1 square. Then they are halved.
They are named after their square radius.

1. The first circle is called "the five" since it's radius is 5 squares.
2. The next three circles shrinks after 3min
1. The four
2. The three
3. The two
3. The next circles shrinks after 2min
1. The one covering one square and shrinks relatively fast!
2. The half
3. The quarter
4. The eighth
5. ...

Speed

It's really useful to know how fast you travel to measure how long it will take you to reach the circle

• Barefoot ~2:05/square
• Shoes ~2:00/square
• Sneakers ~1:50/square
• Car
• Full throtle ~30s/square
• No throtle ~40s/square

Since the first circle shrinks after 5min and during 5min then you have 10min to run into it, and with shoes you can cover 5 squares during this time.

Healing and Gas Damage

If you're late and need to run through gas, make sure to have health packs. Each pack heals 1hp/s during 1min (60hp in total) and bandages heals 1hp/s during 10s (10 in total).

Gas make 1hp/s damage. This means you can use a health pack and run through the gas for 1min which covers a half square!

During the final the gas becomes stronger and reaches 2-3hp/s.

Approach

When heading towards a circle, try to avoid areas with lots of players and try to move around them and into an area which is in the outskirts.

Outside the roads are safe. Cities and fields are hazardous

Example

Run around the hazardous areas and only if necessary, try to run between those areas and move towards the edge of the map.

Move around the center and continue to the edge

Final

At the one and onward, there's usually around 10 players left and this is called the final. The gas damage is about 2-3 per second. You need to win duels at this point!

"The one" appear and it could be a good idea to take a chance and camp on the island!

Requiem for my H1Z1 Battle Royale Victory Screens

Requiem for my H1Z1 BR Victory Screens

It's sad news that my screens of all my victories (except one) has been lost. When changing to new SSDs, I forgot those. Formated in action.

Requiem

But, since I remember them all, I'll write them down. Never forget.

1. My first win. Running around at steep slopes down to water. I hear shoots and finally get hit by arrows. I shoot into a bush and win!
   That player probably wanted a victory with bow and arrow.
2. Big battle at hills. People everywhere. A sudden duel at a crown. Advancing towards a rock with camper, kill in the back, number two running against me and I win the duel.
3. Advancing by the gas border and avoid players. Hiding behind a tree and see my opponent running straight at me. I step out and kills!
4. Forest setting with a meadow. Is pushed out but keeps cover. I flank a team and kill them both.
5. Monster kill! Tried to play casual without headphones and it went well! Running around and in the end I spotted several in the woods. The last one was forced to run cross water and in a close shoot out, I won.
6. Lots of firing from different directions.

7. Once I camped by the gas border but it closed in the middle of a city. I heard lots of shooting and at the end there was only me and one other. The circle was so tiny it wasn't possible to see which buildings were safe. When leaving my place I saw the other one on top of a building and shoot some. I ran into the building next by and into one room. By chance, my opponent rushed my building and up the stairs and I shoot it in the back!
8. By testing a new tactic, I camped with car. Found all gear I needed at gas station at G8. It ended by the mountains where I left the car (since it was too steep) and win three duels.
9. Straight after my first car camping win, I play again and won! Also camping with a car and looting at gas station at G8. Actually three people have a duel next to me and I kill the last one. Had loot for five people after that! It ends with a shoot out in a meadow with forest around it. My car gets shoot down and I escape. By crouching I flank and kill.
10. The day after I try car camping again and found my second sweet spot, the fortress at B2. By camping it also ends in a open meadow in a forest. Wins at least three duels and victory is mine!
11. Car camping and killing some in duels. It ends at some buildings and I see one at the top, shoots but only damages. I'm outside and need to push to the buildings. Standing below I finally see them, also at the ground. I throw Molotov, flank and kills a team. One of the bodies was burning and was probably hit by the Molotov.
12. Early in the morning I play and camp with car. It ends to the west of the mountains west of Pleasant vill. I win a duel against a cop (dressed and with car), spray at car and in the end flank the last one who didn't see me.
    
13. Yesterday I played with car camping. In the end I won a duel and finally gets body armor. I see that one of the last players kills a lot! Using AR and hunting rifle. And in the end it's only we two left. There's a big hill in the middle of the forest south of the big mountain. I see him on top at a rock and shooting at me with hunting rifle. I jump around to get shoot at since the hunting rifle have a longer reload time I shoot in between. But it doesn't seem to help. I jump into my damaged car and push against the sniper. Driving up I jump out of the car and wins! Probably the car ran over my opponent!
    

Over Powered Battle Royale Tactic in H1Z1

OP BR Tactic in H1Z1

So I found out a OP tactic when playing Battle Royale mode in the zombie survival game H1Z1, it's called "Car Camping". 

Here are some guidelince to follow:

1. Get a car
2. Go to a remote place to loot. For instance the fortress at B2, Gas station at G9 etc
3. Follow the circle at the edge which is as far away as possible.Remember to drive as little as possible to
1. Save gas
2. Not make so much noice. The car is loud and give out your position
4. At the end you need to win some duels to win.

Driving a car

A car have many advantages:

• Fast. Lets you loot at distant areas, change position and also easily escape the gas.
• Running over people. Don't use turbo because there's a bigger chance you kill your opponent if you move slowly.
• Gives you cover. Make sure to have your target on the right side of the car to use your vehicle as cover!

But some disadvantages also

• Can blow up. If it's close to blowing up, run away as fast as possible!
• Bigger target which means it's easy to hit it at long range. Usually you won't see the person shooting at you!
• Can flip over. Don't use turbo in grumpy terrain, you will easily flip over.
• Clumsy. It's hard to maneuver between trees and rocks
