Top places to visit in DayZ Badlands: Nasdara
The places listed below are not ranked in any order. You don’t have to visit them in the exact sequence I have mentioned. These are just generally the better areas of the map in terms of loot.
Dashtabad Airbase

Located in the eastern part of the map, the Dashtabad Airbase is an amazing area, especially when you are starting out. It offers plenty of armor to equip, and you can also find plenty of food items to pack in your inventory. Finally, the Airbase also has guns and weapons that you can use to kill enemies. Finally, you can also find Ion Crates if you’re lucky.
Nasdara City

Nasdara City is probably the best spot on the entire map. It has everything you can likely need, including guns, armor, food, and healing items. The area is also vast, with plenty of buildings to take shelter in if you come across an enemy. While the size of the region can be a problem, you can explore it at your own sweet pace.
Marek Barq Hydro Dam

On one hand, you have the water, which offers you fish to get a steady supply of food. On the other hand, there is one of the best bunkers on the map that you can loot for armor and weapons. However, I have encountered enemies at this location, so you should be a bit careful.
Qalat E Lut

While this region is quite distant, the journey will be worth it. First, you get a source of fresh water, and it also offers you a place to cook food. This area also has a high chance of offering tier 3 and tier 4 loot, which can include the highly valuable AKM if you are lucky enough.
