100 MUST KNOW DayZ Secrets!

[@RavPlays]

What secret surprised you the most?

[@not911osama6]

That nearly all this stuff is ready to use but they don’t give a s****

[@DOKZAONE]

The writing on the food had me dying 🤣

[@ryanmiller6887]

all the pics of BI people, I have seen the Billboards, didn't kmow the lore behind them.

[@BadToadTTV]

Forgot to reply on your comment, but my favorite oddly was the pasta facts. "a flavor you can't refuse" had me rolling got a minute 🤣

[@ghomerhust]

the tent backpack would be sweet to still have, i own a couple of those bags from my time in the military. and the food cans really had me cracking up

[@dr.embersfield1551]

Do players know that DayZ used to have 100+ unique books in it? Real life books that you could actually read in-game. All classics, from Jules Verne to Tolstoy and Dumas. There used to be a server long ago, called "Gents of Novo" where the city of Novodmitrovsk was the only safe zone. At nights, players would gather around a bonfire on the main square listening to a person who'd read a different book every night. Good times.... I've no idea why BI decided to remove these books. They were all classics, so their rights are public domain anyway.

[@RavPlays]

I remember the gents of novo server, good time!

[@Quxrk]

To make room for other items in the server that people actually need to play the game

[@nutbastard]

@@Quxrk Any given server has thousands of items spawned in at any given time. What's another, say, 60 books?

[@STUDD_MUFFIN]

@@RavPlays ahh hell yeah gents where good. Been a while since I talked to the owner. Still friends though 😁

[@hllyenaylleth9576]

[@Devusowsky]

i love mosin even if i don't have ammo for it, visual effect is too good

[@thegoodwolf4255]

Capturing rain water in multiple methods absolutely needs to be re added to the game! example tarp + 4 sticks = rainwater collection tub kit, deploy kit add a rock then it will make a pool of water when it rains that will be clean drinkable.

[@RavPlays]

Good idea man

[@STUDD_MUFFIN]

I think they removed it due to adding allot of rivers around the north where it didn't used to be. I liked this, because you had to prepare before going to nw no water around and only tac bacon around. Sad to se so many small but very important game changes go away

[@Traonach]

I take it the only current way to collect rain water is by having a barrel open? (you still have to purify it though)

[@miniblasan5717]

Great ideal but I want the funktion back where you could capture rain water while it's raining like how you used to be able to do, maybe it was back in patch 0.46 - 0.40

[@Gottaculat]

A similar thing you can do IRL is take a large, clear plastic bag, and put the end of a leafy tree branch in it (still attached to the tree). Cinch down the opening with some cordage, and let it sit in the sun. The tree will "sweat" water, which then condenses in the bag. Beware, though, if you do this too much, you will kill that limb, and possibly the entire tree if you do it to multiple limbs. Better to switch up trees and limbs, giving them time to recover.

[@Gottaculat]

On my server, I bury sea chests for players to find, which are full of what I call "The Holy War Starter Pack." In the chest is a Templar helmet, long sword, Holy Bible, a bunch of crackers (think communion wafers), and LOTS of Mad Monk Kvass (wine substitute). Let's also not forget the police nightstick is working, there used to be a medieval mace, chainsaw (sadly isn't working, but can be filled with gas), improvised bow and arrows (I REALLY want these back in the game), a city bus, multiple versions of the truck, and oh, so much more. I used to have a lot of fun whacking people with the electric cattle prod, lol!

[@kevinkarsnia109]

Having played Dayz since its 1st week of early access I knew most of these and don't understand why many things have been taken out. I loved capturing rain water with a canteen because it always rains.

[@MT-eb2dx]

It would take 5 hours to fill a bottle like that in real life, depending on the rain... You can poor water from one bottle into another, which is nice 👍

[@WOBO]

A lot of great info I didn't know here, thanks Rav!

[@RavPlays]

Thankyou man, appreciate it coming from you of all people ❤️

[@jackcunningham16]

As a baby dayz player and now a server owner on a fairly popular server I am so bloody thankful for theese videos Im loving learning the little things that make dayz what it is.

[@FREDMITTELSTEDT]

Hey Rav, I've been a fan since I was a newb - 3,500 in-game hours ago - and I'm *still* learning shit from you. Thanks for your killer content. This is my favorite of all your videos. Lots of great new tips. Laughs to boot; the rat joke and the Bible joke had me rolling. Props, homeboy 👊🏼

Thanks!

[@DOKZAONE]

The sword is even on the console version of dayz, with its unique suicide animation. Please add to official bohemia ty 😘

[@christianrogers8297]

I found one yesterday, it’s absolutely op against zombies. Definitely needs to be added to the official game

[@mrglayden1690]

I thought I was going crazy with the water from rainfall thing, like I was sure i'd remembered doing that early on as it was the only safe water source, then when we had played again found out you couldnt do it and made us question ourselves

[@hllyenaylleth9576]

We need to bring some of the books back to add more life to non-combative aspects of the game! It would be so awesome to find a book in a town and bring it to a secluded campaign spot, and just read. Would really help with the immersion. Also, if there is any performance issue, it could be exclusive to the newer consoles and PC.

[@BadToadTTV]

Hey hey thanks for posting this video, definitely some things I didn't know about! Keep up the good work 🐸❤️

[@RavPlays]

Thankyou man

[@apjapki]

It's incredible both the stuff they never added AND the stuff they took out.

[@ghost-ne4jb]

I really wish they would add back the improvised bow. I remember my first kill with it at Petrovka from 30 meters away, defiantly my proudest DayZ moment other than building my first base there. Anyone remember those apartments in that city where the only place to find tents?

[@TomJakobW]

I remember KZbin guides about efficiency maximizing strategies to find those, like standing on the roof of opposite side apartments and scanning around with player zoom at certain locations & how the green tents look/what you have to look out for! 😅 I actually never found any back then.

[@ghost-ne4jb]

@@TomJakobW I am so glad I never seen those, what a waste of time that sounds like. Yeah they only spawned in those exact apartments in only that city for at least a year.

[@ryanmiller6887]

Wow, there was a bunch of things I did clue into before, Great worrk Rav!

[@RavPlays]

Thanks man!

[@TrmndsFlash]

The snake flag was my design!!!

[@KalenTomlinson]

7:49 even the DayZ devs made collecting rain water illegal lol I feel like this should be a thing with the buckets and barrels and just leave them outside bases while you travel Players can steal water, but you'll most likely have a decent supply. I feel like this should make a return.. would be cool to spot a base from afar, just because they weren't using a variety of water collectors out of sight.. I mean all you have to do is run into town after spawn and flip a bucket over by the garages and you have a secret water supply away from campers At least have console mods allow more stuff like this it'll be cool

[@stealthgaurdian]

Here's one that not alot of people risk to find out. In addition to pavlovo having an air pocket did you know that rift also has one similar to it. It's on top of the main bridge of the ship in the southern half of the ship. You'll see how it pokes out. Pretty sure you need have to climb a ladder to get to it though but the view is beautiful. Freaked my buddy out with it one day when he saw me without my mask. I thought it was common knowledge.

[@TomJakobW]

It’s a shame; useless crap like drinking or smoking just for fun in survival games, maybe giving a little screen effect or something, is just always something i really liked. It’s just awesome for immersion or lore building. Sitting there after a tough fight or on a camp fire, smoking a cig, pondering about the world. Isn’t that (the deceleration, the quiet before the storm) the sort of thing that makes dayZ so amazing?

[@twistedtheorys9988]

I miss not being able to catch water in a bottle, same with the old apple trees too

[@nutbastard]

It is silly, though. A torrential downpour is like 2"+ of water in 24 hours. The neck of the bottle would cut this down by 75% easily. So for a whole cycle of constant rain you could expect maybe a half inch of water. One sip. I'm all for buildable rain catches using a tarp and some sticks, but catching water in a bottle alone is cartoonish.

[@sausfabriek6458]

The old apple trees were pretty silly too. You were able to get infinite apples out of them.
