10 Advanced Tips to Get More Kills in DayZ - Trick Players and Survive Longer

[@dirtydish6642]

"It's me! It's me!" is a classic line to use that creates uncertainty in any player. Such a vague but confident statement will lead about anyone to hesitate and wonder if this is someone they met earlier in the day.

[@Nitno]

Yeah! That's a good one too, I would probably hesitate as well.

[@Woody2Times]

Except for me

[@Nitno]

@@Woody2Times It's me!

I would think that u had mistaken me by someone… Easy kill 🤣👊🏻

My 1st tip: Ammo is cheap, life is precious. With team tactics you can make sure someone holds a suppresive fire (even better on semi-auto) while someone else gets into a better position. 2nd tip: If you have a potato instead of remotely good enough PC (that being me), in case you're being fired upon break contact when possible and find a place, where you can hide and calmly start observing the area you where being shot from. With this kind of hardware you never want to be a stormtrooper and attack people, you want people to come to you, so you can use the element of surprise and every other advantage associated with partisan warfare. Hell, even find some mates to help you with an ambush.

[@Nitno]

Good points!

[@Neumatikos]

Mis direction sounds are underrated. A misdirection grenade thrown leads a pack of aggressive dudes to pursue while you flank. Likewise shooting an empty gun only to swap to a loaded main gun - rings the dinner bell. Planting an IED and popping it off, then taking advantage of the concussive effects is crucial milliseconds. OG SOCOM sniper here. But noob DayZ. Just mid games so far and shot my first no-mic flanker yesterday. Will see how old instincts transfer over. Great vids. And thanks. Peace to all.

[@Nitno]

Agreed! Mind games.

[@digitaal_boog]

If I’m being pushed and I know I am unlikely to win, frag grenade. Obviously everyone knows the trick of holding it in your hand, but I pin it to my vest and run out. That way the fuze is almost out when they kill me. I’ll often also set off and attach smoke grenades, since it not only explains the pin pull sound, but also helps hide my rush. It’s a very situational strategy, but if I’m going down, I’m going to take someone with me

[@Nitno]

That is wild! Haha

[@tbfrl834]

tbh its risky since theres always a chance that you can live. maybe you're ruining that %10 chance.but i also used that strategy in many other games though

[@Nitno]

@@tbfrl834 truee

[@digitaal_boog]

Mock guns fights are great. I use them all the time. The thing is, because swapping guns takes time and nobody has a battle where you take turns, it can be obvious if you’re doing it alone. I use select fire weapons if I can, that way I can make it sound like it’s a battle just with two people with the same calibre weapons.

[@Nitno]

Good thinking!

[@mapleflavor4625]

Me and my friend did this in zelenegorsk on a full server like 3 times over the course of an hour and a half and no one came 💀

[@denniscrane9753]

Watch out for people running at you while in the heart emote! They have their gun and are planning to kill you! Whilst holding your gun go into the heart emote and run to unsuspecting victims exit emote brandishing instant weapon! You can’t counter it unless you know it’s coming!

[@Nitno]

new fear unlocked

I haven’t tried it yet and I’m hoping not many people watch the Fresh Spawns lmao

[@digitaal_boog]

Tbh this is dayz. Anyone doing a friendly emote is probably gonna kill you anyway

[@squigley101]

These are excellent strats!! I like the mock gun fight to try to get someone over to investigate

[@Nitno]

🎣 fishing for kills :D

[@Thatoneguyon_fi]

Nearing 7000 hrs in dayz and never knew bandana bandaging was a thing

[@Nitno]

One of the best things about dayz! There is always something!

[@leedestadz5941]

Awesome man, I already use most of these except for the bandana one, didnt know that, thank you sir

[@Nitno]

Anytime! Cheers!

[@offthecouchproductions8999]

"Bait" other players with the bandage noise (stop after the "rip-rip sound because likely they will have started their push on you and won't hear you stop and draw your weapon because of all the noise they will make when pushing). move with the wind, rain, zombie or other players gun shots and foot step noises. Proper dry warm clothing with a lot of patience = you can hide for a long time (your enemy might be doing the same so stay still longer than you think. Thanx Nit!!!

[@Nitno]

Good tips!

[@tjlastname5192]

When I’m in a building and someone else comes in, but doesn’t know I’m there, I say “Hey, I here you in there.” Usually makes them think I’m outside rather than inside.

[@Nitno]

Good thinking!

[@martinguy8530]

Actually been caught out by someone jumping out window lol...😂😂

[@Nitno]

Haha it happens for real!

[@noviembre.9876]

If you play with friends and want to rush someone use gun shots to distract them to hide you foot steps or even better when you are stuck in a building just bait a rush and shoot around so your friend can rush them Also works with if you try to throw a granade inside a building tell your friends to shoot at the door and unpin the granade while they are shooting

[@Nitno]

Great tips! Sounds like you have some good stories with your buds?

[@joker0206]

One sneaky thing I like to do, is when you can hear a stomach rumble in a building. You leave some food outside but not too close and tell them. Your gonna drop the food and leave. Run away and watch as they wait a moment or two then come out and you can get a clear shot.

[@Nitno]

haha that is tricky!

Grats on the kills!

[@karonelson9421]

Plan and execute 11 moves ahead and never drop your guard.

[@seanheeney4517]

3+ hours and didn't know about the bandana , didn't even know it could be used , neither did I know could jump through the camo buildin window. The rest I knew but were solid tips nonetheless

[@Nitno]

Thanks Sean!

[@DJJordG]

sitting in a corner and waiting for the enemy also leads to death as i have just swung multiple people it normally feels like the attacker has the advantage

[@Nitno]

True it does feel that way sometimes. Playing aggressive sometimes really pays off.

[@Julian-rd7ui]

Nitno I like how you comment to almost every comment, that means you care about your viewers!

[@Nitno]

Thanks Julian! Yep this whole thing is a lot of fun for me. It's great interacting with the audience and community!

[@peacetotheworld3399]

Hi! As always, great video!

[@Nitno]

Much appreciated!

[@szariq7338]

I'll definitely need to train my aim on zombies, cuz I suck at PvP and have no patience for deathmatch.

[@Nitno]

Understandable!

[@ZyRo-x1m]

this helped me a lot thanks.

[@Nitno]

Thanks Mr Blank!

[@rboothy9795]

What I like doing is this, if I’ve been in a gun fight and won and no one else is around, I cut the body up and grab the human fat, I don’t eat it but I’ll cook it, so if I die most people are most likely will grab it not knowing it’s human fat so all I have to do is run back to my body and just search the area and listen out for someone laughing, this only works if you’re on the coast but I have done this multiple times and actually found people because of this, good players know not to take fat or drink bottles off bodies in case it’ll make you ill well I don’t anyway

[@Nitno]

Excellent! Could even put some deer steak next to the bad fat haha

[@rboothy9795]

That would probably work better, even if you don’t find the person they’re stuck with kuru for the rest of there life so it’s a win either way

[@Nitno]

@@rboothy9795 yep I call it a WIN

[@colewhitaker9682]

As a new play in 2023 the things I'm noticing you need to know the most is learning how to put on clothes and how to reload ammo into your gun. Theres so much more but people really haven't been friendly so I hop in a game and have my guard up at all times but only way to learn is play it.

[@Nitno]

Agreed, its a game you really need to put the hours in. Thousands of hours later I am still learning and encountering new situations. "Oh man I should have done X instead of Y." all the time.

[@johndetheshape3095]

One tip i know is if you Enter a new area And you find alot off Mushrooms rocks and appels under tress there is most likely a player that is in the area

[@Nitno]

Great tip! Agreed, and likely been there a whole. I think it takes about 10-15 minutes for mushrooms to start spawning. So likely they are shacked up somewhere.

[@Catmoore60]

I didn’t know about the bandana!

[@Nitno]

Hey Catmoore! It's a sneaky one!

[@skan8]

You can also imitate zombie sounds to confuse your enemies.

[@Nitno]

Good idea 😁

[@OkieOrganix]

@1:20 you talk about silent gun drops and I kind of wish you would have stated it is a bug and alot of server will ban you for doing it if caught.

[@Nitno]

I have never heard of a server banning for that. Can you give an example? Good looking out though.

[@DeathsDoor]

@@Nitno Dayz Underground , Day One , and a few others all share a ban list and if one bans you it's across the board. Examples of how you would be caught, streaming, some ones video, another members see it happen and puts in a ticket.

The dropping weapons was “fixed”. Picking it up off the floor makes noise now. ~may uodate
