Don't go without guns

The military bunker is one of the best spots to look in DayZ Frontline’s Sakhal map, and raiding it should be high on your priority list.

Located in the southwest part of the main island, the military bunker has plenty of resources to loot. However, this place is full of danger, and it’s better to gear up before you try to approach the place. Unlike other POIs in Sakhal, you’ll first have to unlock the doors using a generator, which is located slightly away from the bunker.

Disclaimer: The act of looting the bunker will be easier if you’re playing up in a squad.

Before you can reach the bunker, you’ll need to visit the building where the generator is located. The generator is actually located to the southeast of the man bunker. If you see the image mentioned here, which comes from a great tutorial guide by so_LOKI_ng, the point marked X in red is where the generator is located.

Once you enter the building, you’ll find four switches. You can press only one switch at a time. This is where having a squad is beneficial, but if you’re playing solo, just press one of the four available buttons. Once done, now rush to the location marked in white, where the military bunker is situated.

Once you’ve reached the location marked on the map above, you’ll find the bunker gate. Once you move inside, you’ll find four more gates. This is why it’s important to remember the switch that you pressed – each switch corresponds with one of the four gates. If you’re playing solo, grab all the loot you can find inside the gate that you opened.

Next, run back to the generator and press another switch. Come back to the bunker and see what you find inside the next gate. Rinse and repeat the process two more times to grab all the loot available in DayZ Frontline’s military bunker on Sakhal.

Aside from campers and snipers, you’ll encounter wolves in this region. Don’t approach the bunker unless you’ve geared up properly (assuming you’re playing on a PvP server). Additionally, it might be sensible not to use the tracks, as you might encounter campers along the way. While the forest is filled with its own set of dangers, it might be less risky in the grand scheme of things.
