50 DayZ Mistakes You Need To Avoid

[@RavPlays]

What's the biggest mistake that you make in DayZ?

[@root_-we7wt]

Joined the wrong server after reset without realizing, when I had died right before reset and was attempting to grab my loot

[@Highlyskeptical]

I was a man outstanding in my field, but a sniper made sure I wasn't standing for long.

[@dirtydish6642]

Paying for Livonia 😝

[@Sonicspeedboyz]

Wearing a backpack

[@mapleflavor4625]

Thinking masks spread sickness

[@BammerHammer627]

Guy: dont carry a lot of stuff or hoard with a big backpack, this is a common mistake. Also him: carry two premade splints and use protective cases for your medical supplies. You should also make sure to have a gas mask in your inventory at all times on the off chance somebody has a gas grenade. Don't eat food unless you're hungry.

[@tremelbickson889]

he probably meant don't carry unnecessary stuff like there's no reason u would need 4 guns

[@generallasagna778]

At about 5:10 you dont need to ration food. It should be the priority of every dayz player to keep hunger and thirst bars as high as possible to avoid having to eat in combat situations. Also higher food and water stat means higer immunity so you wont get the cold, however if your food and water are at yellow being too cold could result in a cold. Its also a good idea not to ration because you are wasting valuable inventory space with food, which you can find everywhere when you go just a bit inland which makes the whole rationing part pointless. So in short eat your food and drink til full at your nearest water station.

[@magicallan7894]

food yes water no, you can find water everywhere in one form or another.

[@Starrfortythree]

I’m still a newbie despite owning the game for a while and someone taught me that you can build a fire starter with a piece of bark and a stick if you don’t have a lighter/matches/flare etc. Dude is a life saver.

[@mapleflavor4625]

Tip i havent heard anyone say yet: the more skilled you are the further you should keep your fights. For example if you have really good aim you can simply aim and shoot faster than your opponent but if your not good a fight at point blank range is basically a coin toss no matter how good you are

[@LTU5_DayZ]

Yea at that point the way you win is by having a better position and better gun. But if all is the same it comes down to luck. Ranged combat is a huge skill gap on consoles as well

[@shanoova]

I love how the first mistake you had as an example was drinking bottled water. (Guilty, first life. Eating raw Fish, was in fact, my second.) Thumbs up earned sir.

[@nicolasriquelme1887]

Sorry for the correction brother, but recently the developers said that clothes do not have the capacity to spread diseases or transport them, it's just a myth.

[@tylerdaperson]

Then whats the purpose of disinfecting clothing?

[@TheRealNoob_YT]

@@tylerdaperson the only "clothing" you can disinfect are certain face wears, which in turn lets you use them as a silent bandage without the risk of a wound infection.

sawing the famas iron sights is almost necessary

[@jamesbennett5189]

I love the sawed off famas. And for fun i like to saw off the BK18 as a low tier weapon.

[@pizzapozz7733]

@@jamesbennett5189 I remember dying after so many hours of being alive because I couldn't see what I was shooting at. One of the golden rules of shooting is to be comfortable with the gun first. I wasn't lol

Melee sneaking is impossible this update, Zombies have super human hearing

[@Sim-po1mc]

😂 never understood why people cant do this... just go behind him never in zombie fov and stab him, hit right side pressing and left click

[@kustard2042]

@Sim-po1mc You obviously haven't played this update, it's bugged atm and Zombies can hear you even further away than before

[@mapleflavor4625]

You have to be very light. Typically sneakers and maybe a light backpack

[@emeraldturtle5523]

​@Sim-po1mc 1.25 broke the zed hearing, unless you fancy taking off your shoes to stab every one you see it's not feasible anymore

[@SuperUvix]

[@pimpster122]

Since 1.25 shooting zombies has become much more reasonable. Using a suppressed pistol in particular can allow you do clear the entire area of zombies in seconds. Where as trying to trap or melee them usually takes longer. I rarely used to shoot zombies but now using one of my two pistol mags is no sweat in order to get in and out of hot loot zones faster.

[@Frittin762]

I don’t know what you’re talking about. They’re easier to lure sure, but they’re seemingly equally far less predictable with their movements. I cannot get even just one zombie to stand in front of a window and not infinitely circle the house anymore.

[@pimpster122]

@@Frittin762 I was talking about how I resort to shooting zombies much more since 1.25. Whereas I would have stealth killed and fought one of them at a time in previous patches. Edit: When I see a group of Z’s I generally just shoot them now. If I’m a freshie then I trap them in buildings. Before 1.25 I would stealth kill or melee all Z’s for a chance at loot on them.

[@GenGrilli]

3:34 Brother Who gaslit you That has been an Insanely widespread rumor since like the release of dayz, people thinking clothing items like facemasks or gloves can become infected with a transmittable sickness has been around for so long my god. If anyone really thinks this is true too in the comments, then just think about it, you cant disinfect clothing items other than like a bandana, but only a bandana because you can also use it like a bandage without cutting it up, also think of the amount of times you had a ski mask or smth warm in general equipped, popped a vitamin after being sick and then recovered and not got sick again, or when did you ever become sick after just swapping out a facemask with a dead guy and then without having have eaten or drinked something, while reasonably warm gone sick.

[@GenGrilli]

also 5:09 bruh, just eat meat and such first, eat till energy is completely full and then just eat whenver it isnt, rationing food doesnt do anything

[@TheIQPanda]

Yea man I had a sickness 1 time cured it popped the mask I had been wearing with the sickness back on and seconds later I was coughing again

[@GenGrilli]

@@TheIQPanda its not related to the ski mask, placebo effect at its finest you were probably eating something which you already ate from while sick, drank the same water or were still cold

[@phenr1r]

To keep a splint taking up 8 spaces in inventory (with the exception of exploring Livonia’s Bunker) is a horrible “pro tip” for unknown players. When in a situation of a broken leg you either fell from a dangerous height, got yourself in a bear trap or a mine or got the leg broken in a fight. In either of the situations you either will have time, space and capacity to craft one or you will be under enemy fire wich will incapacitate you to use one even you have it at the ready. It’s just a waste of good space in my opinion

[@AyyFugazi]

Isn't it 9?

[@phenr1r]

@@AyyFugazi Not if you keep the rags and sticks separate and unite them when in need. With time you learn that some items take less space when "disassembled" wich gives you extra space for more important supplies. For example, for a splint I would carry only the rags (except when exploring Livonia's Bunker) because you can find sticks everywhere in the map (Even though I dont carry rags for a splint in my runs, but, if I would, would do it like I told you)

[@Frazzlepops]

We all know you get the biggest bag possible to start off with because... DayZ... You'll have 5 guns 6 ammo types 3 mags and 2 scopes which fit nothing but the ij you found on a dead body on the coast. But my favourite bag is the combat backpack.. big, doesn't sit high and is green. The hunters and improvised are good tho

[@Mrworlwad]

Always learning something new about this game. thank you rav

[@squidwardtenticles1656]

I loved this video it's always nice to learn new things and I hope you enjoyed making it. Also for a video idea I think it could be fun to try and get all the sawn off weapons in one run

[@lullabee1582]

I have to disagree wth keeping the bandages in a container because of 1.25

[@RainSenshi]

I keep bandages in different clothing items just so that they don't all get ruined from one shot

[@stevensheets7217]

How come? Honestly curious.

[@pimpster122]

@@stevensheets7217 latest update 1.25 made it so items in containers can only be accessed if the container is outside of your inventory. In your hands or in the ground. So if you have bandages hot-keyed or quick-slotted and they are in a container in your inventory they will not come out until that container. You only want to store things you won’t need “on the fly” in those containers now. Edit: a good trick is to put similar things in a container. Such as meds in a med pouch. Then quick-slot the med bag itself. Still would keep ammo and emergency medical supplies loose for sure.

[@pimpster122]

@@RainSenshi That is a very good practice. Kind of realistic too, you wouldn’t keep all your tourniquets in one spot irl…. Most people keep a means of stopping bleeds in multiple parts of their kit too.

[@sandhanitizer15]

Cooking anywhere is a danger not just a house. #24 is real. You can always tell the fortnite players. They always run in the open and just stand there. Ive told plenty of COD and Fortnite players, the skills you know mean nothing in this game..

[@TheBooksterr]

A very epic video as always Rav! Take care now!

[@magicallan7894]

3:40 debunked, clothing does not carry infections as in its literally not coded into the game. you can only get a cold in the game via standing next to another infected player.

[@boytoyowo238]

The only reason to triple carry is if you have an LAR or M4 a DMR and an grenade launcher one for range one for close quarters and one for taking out other players where you can't necessarily reach them or if its too risky

Non-disinfected bandages are fine. It's only rags you need to disinfect.

I also disagree with the 'cooking indoors' vs outdoors tip. Cooking indoors allows you to do something else whilst it's cooking. If you cook outdoors with a stick, you are defenseless.

[@falloutfart9917]

Also it allows you to cook more at once where if you have a cooking pot or a frying pan you can put it in the cooking spot to cook the full contents at once

You can’t use items that are in other containers in your inventory anymore. So the putting bandages in a case tip isn’t valid in 1.25

Anyone that doesn't know a stealth kill is heavy attack from back of the infected while they are un agro Using a ghulie will teach you good inventory management because you have only your shirt, trousers and any vest space as the shrug removes the backpack. Using a ghulie has made me more aware of how to manage my inventory rather then the crutch that is the mountain (80 slot) and feild (90 slot) backpacks Also you can eat spoiled fruits and vedg (not raw or burnt food and idk about spoilded cooked meat) without having to use a vitamin just eat it in quarters like if you are ill with cholera or salmonella. REMEMBER 1. no more then 1 quater of the whole food bar (bottom left where the name and condition will be) NOT the interaction bar in the center 2. ALWAYS wait till the increase to your calories and thurst are gone (when they start draining rather than increasing)
