I was tryna get a better spawn the other day, started punching a dude so he would kill me, and he just put is fists up and backed away and didn't do anything. So i got reeeeeeaaaaaaalllllllll close to his face, went to game chat, and said "i want to die. Please just kill me." In a really dramatic voice. He beat me with his shottie like a true friend would.

First tip: Get used to weapons.. Me: literally can't find water or a single item and dies 5 times in a row :S

[@applenuggets5622]

Join a deathmatch server to learn the guns

[@chefboyarb]

My tip to you : don’t sprint, find a knife. On official it’s really about surviving, as in hunting and finding food. Me and my boys used to always kill chickens when we heard them along the coast, then we’d move further up north

[@chefboyarb]

Community is a easy way to start off. I started on official but community is fun and since I’m coming to pc I wanna check out the weapons and stuff

[@willsull22]

Apple Nuggets this is the best tip. I was always awful at pvp. (New to Pc gaming) but running around aimlessly on the DM servers really helped big time. Now I win 9/10 1v1 gunfights

These super geared dudes helped I find each other claiming that they had never had a mission so noble as reuniting a father and son, gave us both no sins and other guns, gave my dad NVGs, me an SG5.

Being friendly should be number 1 it makes dayz, dayz. I remember I got dayz and had only been playing for 2 weeks and I met someone talked to them nice then some stuff happend within their preexisting group so I picked to go with these two guys with some nice stuff and a huge base. That was the start of a 2 year relationship playing with these guys. Best memories I have of gaming has been with them and the worst. Dayz will give you friendships you'll never get anywhere else.

[@Snoooo]

Nah, number 1 is shoot or be shot. Only be friendly towards freshspawns and you won't be disappointed.

[@firstspectre3928]

Right I remember being friendly with a dude in Novo back when it was new city and ended up with people that I played the game for years with.

[@zodixv3]

number 1 should be to trust your gut instinct, there’s times to shoot on sight and times to try and be friendly, go with what feels right and take your location on the map/gear/experience into account when you make a decision that could make or break your character

[@TheSixMacs]

Bambies usually need to die. Often times, it's a KoS kiddie who finally got what he/she deserved, and just respawned. Watch bambies like a hawk, or just shoot them where they stand. I trust a guy with a gun and waving his hand more than I trust a bambi with nothing to lose, and everything to gain.

[@jackr2287]

@GrayPlaysGames I'm fairly new to the game, so my perceptions are skewed to this direction. I avoid the well geared folks, and I am inclined to paranoia when I get my "good" loot of a bottle, enough food for another hour, and a blade or two. Plus more carrying capacity than I should entrust myself with.

Made way hours north through the mountain trails not realizing that I had been being stalked by a pair of wolves. I heard a howl in the distance and went the opposite direction of it but they were on me.. attacked from behind, I didn’t even hear them approaching till I was bit. I unloaded my .22 into one and two from my revolver into the other. It had been such a long time of quiet wilderness that when the first gunshot rang out it actually startled me a little. They got me really good. though I managed to stop the bleeding just in time and passed out. I faded out of consciousness probably a dozen times. stranded helpless on the mountain next to two wolf corpses for what felt like forever. I was able to start sipping water between blackouts and eventually was staying awake a little longer till I could cut the bush down next to me and start a fire to keep myself from freezing. When I was able to move again I skinned and quartered those two and had wolf steaks next to my fire to recover my strength. Couldn’t believe I made it out with my life. Wish I could have taken their hides with me to tan and make into gear.

I'm watching this waiting for my pc parts to arrive, and it'll be my first ever. I've been watching DayZ on KZbin since high school, and I'm almost thirty. Thanks for the tips, hopefully I haven't missed the boat on this game. It seems active!

[@Amero2323]

I'm almost in the same boat, except I haven't ordered my pc yet and I'm 37. You're building yours? I was just thinking about getting one from origin or something since I don't know the first thing about pcs

[@just_jxrge_8397]

Well im not as old as you (17) but ive been watching day z since it was an arma mod

[@CreeperTroll1]

​@@Amero2323 Hey man, if you're thinking about getting a prebuilt PC I'd suggest looking around on youtube for some PC build guides (I can suggest LinusTechTips etc.) as well as using websites like PcPartsPicker which allow you to put a 'virtual' PC together to compare all the parts and check everything before making a purchase. Building your own PC can usually save you allot of money that you could rather use to buy a monitor/mouse/keyboard or even just reinvest that money you saved towards building a faster PC. I know it can seem daunting and overwhelming but if you just watch a few they'll help you see that it's honestly not hard at all and I've heard plenty of people that thought it was too challenging end up being surprised at how simple it can be. You'll always end up using the PC for a lot more than just gaming and the bulk of the cost is always in the beginning when you need to build a whole system from scratch, in a few years if it doesn't run games at 100% all you'd probably need to upgrade is your graphics card instead of buying a whole new PC so I believe it's a good investment. (if you really don't know squat you can usually see all the components in the prebuilt origin pc's so you could add up the prices of the individual components to see how much you'd save, buy them, and get some help to set it all up, if you have a pc shop around they can put it together for you) anyways, I wish you luck and hope you have a great day/night regardless of which option you choose.

@@CreeperTroll1 oh man thank you so much for the advice. Very nice of you to take time out of your day to help me. I'll be honest, my mom just died and left me a nice chunk of dough, so I might just say screw it and let Origin build it for me. Can't I still upgrade if I do it that way? It's just that for the first time in my life, money isn't as much of a factor as it normally would be. My mam accumulated her wealth later in her life so we grew up poor but she died with a nice amount of assets. I'm not a millionaire or anything though. I know I SHOULD do it the way you advised.

I appreciate them, they arent supporting me a enough to where I rely on them but they support me enough to help me out if that makes sense. In return for their help when I go out exploring I tell them if I see bases or any type of people. They are lit af, they killed the spawn killers that kept spawn killing my friend. We had only been playing for an hour or two a day for 2 weeks.

As a complete noob to the game with 10 hours as you mentioned this is a brilliant guide thank you!. Being on a Xbox just getting use to the controls alone takes time.

Got the game in 2015. At the time i was playing like 6 hours a day, it was my favourite game, it still is. Took a break, and sometimes i hop on, shits not the same. I miss the old days taking over mishkino milly tents with a 15 man army. Playing solo is so different, i would call myself a veteren player. And still die 10 times before i have a good run. I remember the first time meeting a dude in cherno which led to him showing me the way to the NWAF, FIGHTING our way trough vibors milly base just to get seperated by a 6 man squad with glitched m4s. Then buying a server and dupping items with the server restart glitch. Builing a base outside the map above mishkino. Dayz is just amazing.

My tip. Find a better video. Bc this one is useless to people who actually want to leave the coast. The did get one thing right... dont get attached to your gear. But rule 2 get a knife. And learn the ways to craft one bc killing animals dont mean shit if you cant skin it to eat. I've taught countless ppl to play dayz and most of this doesn't matter. And regards to people encounters.... avoid if at all possible. Bc if you just come running up to someone you're gonna get shot. Especially inland. You dont need other people to have fun.

I can personally attest to the first tip you provided, "master the weapons". I tend to be like hyper conservative with ammo but this actually got me killed one time when I had a shotgun that appeared to be fully loaded with shells. A wolf comes along and I shoot at him, first shot misses. I line up another shot and I hear "click". I'm like uhhhhh what? I hold R... nothing happens. A life or two later I realized the difference between holding R to load weapons to begin with and just pressing R to reload.

From crafting a knife and finding food and weapons, to avoid being killed by Z's and other players and everything it comes with. Makes me so nervous to play alone but i know i need to do it as its only way i will eventually learn all i am needing to play my style. Great tips, think id be a friendly at first, but fear i wont be given the chnace much when i meet other players...kind of a kill on sight to what i see most times lol

[@jerryray5879]

I’ve watched some Dayz videos for years just decided I wanted to pick it up 6 or 7 months ago. Had to wait for a sale when I didn’t have to pay too many bills. So I just got to download it last night and play some today. First time spawning in is quite difficult. Dayz has a skill base like no other game

[@willreeves5592]

Hey man, dunno if you have up on it or not but what I do that works 9/10 spawns is 1. Investigate shipwreck rowboats for a fishing rod and fishing hooks/backpacks/canned tuna/water bottles - if you DONT find a rod do step 1A 1A. Make a fishing rod by cutting a bush down with your hands to get a long stick (get two long sticks because you need one for a rod and one for cooking your fish, keep the short sticks you find cuz you’ll need a fire later. 2. Walk along a railroad or dirt trail till you find 3 small stones minimum, this will let you craft 2 improvised knives 3. (If you didn’t find a fishing rod) Go cut up some trash clothes you find (maybe whatever you spawned with) you’ll need the rags to craft your rope for your improvised fishing rod, combine to stacks of rags to make your rope then combine with your long stick. 4. Cut off some bark from a large tree for your hand drill kit to ignite your campfire. 5. Now you dig up worms with an improvised knife and attach em to your fishing hooks and start fishing. Your hook will ruin and be unusable in ~5 successful catches. That’s enough food to get you inland to locate water pumps and roosters/grazing animals. This method works before I starve to death on spawn nearly everytime as long as you don’t waste any time fighting unnecessary zombies to looting obviously picked clean coastal villages. Good luck - you got this.

Great guy, had a blast and learned a ton.

First time playing today. Had a guy who played for a while help me out after he saw i was walking around in the dark like a moron. We traveled up north for a long time. We somehow had a hard time finding food. He built me a fire and sharpened some sticks. He talked to me about how to do some stuff. He made sure i understood. We were starving. He told me too follow him to the cliff and put his body to good use. He said “good luck buddy”. He killed himself. I still hear my characters stupid laugh.

I've literally oy had this game for a day and I'm in love with it. I think it's amazing the detail that the game takes. Everything from loading your own mags to putting water in your cars radiator. I think I've ran into one other person and he wanted me to kill him on the spot lol. This game is dope and I hope they add more stuff to it

[@elitecommando74]

i remember my friend and i were freshies running around and i had a shotgun and i snuck up on a dude who was stacked and I didn't shoot him (had no ammo). He thought I was friendly since i caught him off guard and respected me for not shooting. He invited my friend and I to his group and they gave us soo much loot and taught us how to play the game. how 1 subtle detail changes things, those guys were awesome im glad i had no ammo at that point.

The cooking and hunting is a good point Six. I think the PVE is a really important thing to master because you may be able to run up to Stary but then notice that you´re out of food, you´re freezing because you wanted to wear booty shorts and you´re sogging wet because you watched SixMacs on youtube (and went swimming in a pond). Nice video!

[@fabiantiere5046]

My tip for DayZ is dont be too friendly, I play DayZ like when it came out, Like without any Mods and without any Cars back then and the M4 was spawning in Police Stations and the movement was different Glitches were easier... try to be friendy but when your feeling says its not a good idea to interact with this kind of players just runaway then... Most of time they gonna shoot you in the back or want you to be dead, that is my (Experience in DayZ but not everytime)

[@fabiantiere5046]

Like you said it in the Video, try every Situation, and in Military Zones idc, i always KOS because everytime i am gettimg shot at, even without any weapons

Thank you wise stranger you have inspired me to keep trying to survive.

[@Gottaculat]

I have about 1,500 hours in this game over 8 years, and I still greet the world with a friendly "howdy, would you like to trade?" You'd be surprised how many veterans of DayZ are willing to give a genuinely friendly player a chance. Of course, if you just yell that you're friendly, but have a gun out and moving to a position of cover, that's sketchy af, and expect to be gunned down, even by me. Best thing you can do is press F1, and do the Q+E wiggle dance (you know what I'm talking about) while standing in the open. This is pretty much a universal sign of real friendliness in DayZ, as you're taking the first step of trust. You will still get killed occasionally, because some players are just too scared or stupid to reciprocate friendly contact. Another thing us veterans really miss are the days where we hear, "Hands up." Used to be people would get the drop on you, and rather than kill you, they simply restrain and rob you blind, and if you were a female character, force-feed you their rotten zucchini or bananas, lol. They'd often leave you naked and handcuffed, which is fine, because you can always break free and you've retained the food and water you already consumed, which is better than starting as a fresh spawn. Very few bandits these days are actually bandits, but rather psychos - the KoS kiddies. Bandits in DayZ are about as rare today as heroes in DayZ, so if someone tells you, "hands up" in DayZ, do it. They probably have you dead-to-rights, and the fact they haven't killed you yet is a good indication they're an old-school bandit that will let you live, and maybe even just rob you a little, leaving you with most your gear.

[@mnal5gex]

Hands down best list. So true.

[@wooblebloc]

Need all the help I can get. I die every 15 min from spawn. Either from hunger. Exposure all that shit stuff. I have to use modded servers just to get by for a while. Vanilla servers need more stuff

[@TheSixMacs]

Vanilla is very brutal right now. Find yourself a good server with + loot. Also make sure you try and find a knife and an animal to kill/cook asap

Recently started playing on my PS5 and man I love the challenge

[@jbed6]

Things I found in under 10h of playtime; Scythes are absolutely useless as weapons. Use a pickaxe instead if you want a one-shot melee against undead freaks. Even an orienting compass is incredibly useful, because we all know what regular compasses look like, so we can fill in the blanks. In my *personal experience,* that bottom right island has guns and ammo, but make sure you have a campfire ready to go once you hit land or you will probably freeze to death. Chernogorsk is a massive city, but don't let that trick you. It has trash loot 99% of the time. Military bases usually spawn guns, but are hot areas for looting and pvp. Still a good area to run by, especially if you're on a modded server that shows trader locations, as you can sell your un-needed weapons and ammo When you do sell stuff, make sure you unload mags and disassemble guns first to maximize that cash. Traders also tend to accept cars, so do the same with a car. Take it apart, sell it and its parts. Maybe you'll be able to get an upgrade, or some nice cash if you like walking. If you want to keep your stuff, go around gunshots. If you have no map in-game, use a second monitor or mobile device with a map up. You can tell where you are by entering a new city and looking at your top left corner for your location. Without a compass, use landmarks to find where you're going. Find the town you're in, and look for roads that go towards your next destination. I'll try to update this as I play more, but that's my guide that I made from 10 hours of standalone. DayZ Mod knowledge doesn't really carry over because it's an entirely different experience. Good luck, y'all.

I didn't know that sliding down on ladders can damage your hands. I almost bleed to death with good loot.

[@spcliquid4102]

It silly but makes sense too. You know how all the tanks and most vehicles have aged and decades. The ladders would also stop to rust and break. So when you slide your hands down they get cut on the sharp rusted bits.

Also, make sure you have proper shoes. I thought my character was cutting itself while making firewood because I was bleeding all the time again and again after bandaging. Noticed my shoes were "ruined"... 😅😂
