Becoming the MOST LETHAL Solo Survivor in DayZ

My mission for today's adventure on Bitterroot in DayZ was simple: get the best gear on the map and then find as much pvp action as possible. Luckily, that's exactly what I was able to accomplish. Bitterroot has quickly become my favorite map in DayZ, it has a great balance of amazing locations, loot, and interactions while still providing a vanilla-like experience.

As someone with over 3,000 hours in dayz it’s so refreshing seeing a real unscripted dayz video. All the big dayz youtubers script parts of their videos and take handouts from admins which after realizing this pretty much ruined watching dayz vids for me, but I’ll definitely be watching more of your vids.

[@scholarcormier]

Wow, thank you so much for the kind words!! I try to keep in the more calm moments of DayZ like looting, dealing with zeds, and traversing the map along with the high intensity moments to capture the whole experience of the journey! Thanks for checking it out 😁

[@cglgaming493]

Hey dude, just came across your vid randomly. Back in middle school (I’m 24 now) I watched a guy named MrBlackout on KZbin who made DayZ vids, I fell in love with the game at that point but never played till it came on console and been on it since the Beta. Your vid brought such nostalgia man, feels like I’m at the bus stop watching his vids all over again. Love how you made it so intense yet those peaceful moments you get during this game.
