DayZ Beginner Guide - Basics, Crafting, Medical, Surviving, Interactions - Starting Out in 2020

[@lukaszpokoju]

To beginners. List of _must keep_ items when you find them : - 6 rags - Water bottle or canteen (but always empty it when you find it) - Any bladed weapon (Axes are the best) - Side by side shotgun (the ammo is abundant, at least until you get to military weaponry, very versatile and powerful even against full stuffed players) - Can opener - 9V battery - Weapon cleaning kit - Grinding stone - Sewing kit / Duct tape - Rope - Matches / ligher - Vitamins / water purification tablets - Any type of flashlight

[@Nitno]

Awesome advice! I'll pin this comment so more people see it.

[@Nitno]

Oh nooo, dang! Me too sometimes, still after all these years!

[@LuNcHTimeFoo]

I just started playing this game two days ago and idk what to do lol

[@chesterpanda]

@@LuNcHTimeFoo There’s a large learning curve to the game. You die a lot at first, and then learn from your mistakes. I’ve played for a month, but now my character is three weeks old. First goal is to find food and water, along with the tools to open/eat it. Then find the best dry warm clothing and fix it with duct tape or a sewing kit, preferably with a lot of pockets. Then find a weapon with the correct ammo and however many magazines you can find. Then meds and vitamins to ward away sickness and bandages or rags for cuts. Then you can craft; fences, tents, splints, backpacks, ghillie suit, etc. Only thing I’ve crafted is a ghillie suit so I can slink around the map, hopefully unnoticed. If you’re gonna die, and if you have items you want to retrieve later you can store them in hidden containers you place around the map. If you don’t have that option, then make note of your approximate location and return there. If I’m gonna bleed out or die from hunger/thirst, I’ll scramble to a bush or random but notable location and let it happen. Also join the same server and watch out for resets as well. Return to where you hid your previous character and loot it if it’s still there. I’m still a noob, but I’m getting the hang of things. Also, avoid swimming and the rain, stay dry.

[@LuNcHTimeFoo]

@@chesterpanda dude thanks

[@Nitno]

@@LuNcHTimeFoo It is a bit confusing at first. I'd suggest just making a goal to find your way to a new town, look for food and clothing. Look for a road sign at the entrance and exit of the town. Look up that town name on iZurvive.com then make a plan for your next town to go to.

Started this game today, 1st game, ladder mishap, broken leg, starved to death. game 2, starved, game 3, starved, game 4, well, you get the idea. I now have figured there's a lot of pear and apple trees with fruits on the ground and zombies have often food on them so now live longer. But this fishing thing shown here is very cool, thx.

It is rough out there! I am happy to help. Best wishes.

[@theboiwhomemed258]

I’ve never watched a video for starters (like me) that goes into so much detail and helps new players avoid starvation and thirst, honestly other videos I have watched go into how to make Burch sacks or something like that honestly this helps a lot thank youu

[@theboiwhomemed258]

Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated. More videos to come!

[@babyfreezer]

Thanks for the guide, I played dayz mod back in the "dayz" and loved the fightfights and meeting people. Wanna get back into it and knowing there's so much survival needed, this guide really helped to get me started again!

[@Nitno]

Awesome to hear! Enjoy! DayZ is in a good place now to make the switch to Standalone!

[@MrChangeordie]

I been playing Dayz on xbox for about 2weeks now and love it, really no complaints...when I 1st started out I starve a great few times UNTIL I found the - TREE OF LIFE / fruit trees lol...I then setup a route I would regularly go on that had dozens of fruit trees along the way, I would even pick up the rotten ones and drop them in random places...I hardly ever searched houses for food. Because dayz is a huge open world, wherever I would spawn in at I would stay in that area/town learning where I can find water and fruit trees, "this is home" ... I would venture out from that town but always returning before nightfall...my interest was learning how to craft, I learned a knife is the most important thing for my survival, if I couldn't find 1 I would also be looking for a sledgehammer or pickaxe, with this I could craft stone knives from rocks, then kill a chicken or animal and skin it, also using the stone knives on a big tree for Bark and small stick then crafting fireplace and fire drill kit...as of right now I'm still in Berezino on a LOW POPULATION SERVER...Just a distance from Berezino off in the hills is a area I call home, here in this area I have loot and food and weapons stashed and buried - thanks to the shovel and dry backpacks and also have crops growing fruits hidden away in a dense forest area...ALL OF THIS IS FOR....if I happen to die by the guns of another player or by the hands of Zombies when I spawn in I can locate where I'm at on IZurvive map and work my way to HOME to a area I know and un burry my food and supplies and start a new journey with new character...building a base does not interest me, in fact when people find bases it makes them wanna break in...they will not stop until they have done so lol, for the most part people are friendly on xbox Dayz BUT right when things are peaceful and quite and that 1st bullet hits u from out of nowhere - Fear and terror grip your soul- I played Battlefield and call of duty but on this game gun shots sound Very real and when u hear them from a distance away u can only imagine trouble and danger could be nearby Or when u are looting a town and come across a house that has chopped up human flesh in it, it was enough to give me chills just wondering what had took place here 😯...for this game to be on console is amazing to me, after watching videos on KZbin I had to go and get this on Xbox lol PLEASE NOTE: IF THIS HAPPENED IN REAL LIFE U ARE LIKELY NOT GONNA BE THE 1ST PERSON OUT LOOTING GOING THROUGH HOUSES LOOKING FOR FOOD. MANY PEOPLE WILL WAIT HOPING THINGS WILL GET BETTER AND WHILE THEY ARE WAITING OTHERS HAVE ALREADY STARTED LOOTING HOUSES AND BUILDINGS, SO WHEN THAT PERSON FINALLY REALIZES HELP IS NOT COMING & THINGS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME, THEIR STOMACH PUSHES THEM OUT THE HOUSE IN SEARCH OF FOOD....AND THIS PERSON IS U WHEN U 1ST SPAWN IN TO DAYZ...HOUSES ARE EMPTY AND RANSACKED, HOUSES WITH DOORS LEFT WIDE OPEN FROM BRAVE ONE'S THAT WENT OUT BEFORE U, THIS EXPLAINS WHY U WONT FIND MUCH LOOT OR FOOD..."MANY WILL DIE" BUT WILL U HAVE THE DRIVE IT TAKES TO SURVIVE?.. IMAGINE SOMETHING HAPPENS ON THE EARTH AND EVERYONE IS FLEEDING TO A HUGH ISLAND IN HOPES OF SURVIVING...JUST BECAUSE U MAKE IT TO THE COAST DOESN'T GUARANTEE U WILL LIVE, OTHERS HAVE MADE IT BEFORE U AND HAVE TAKEN OUT OF HOUSE WHAT THEY FEEL THEY NEED FOR SURVIVAL.. LIFE IS UNFAIR, RAIN CAN KILL U IF U DONT FIND PROPER CLOTHING AND SHELTER, NOT EVERYONE WHO SPAWNS IN OFF THE COAST WILL MAKE IT TO BE A HERO OR VILLAIN, ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE BUT THIS IS ONLY 1 DAY AT A TIME...THIS IS DAYZ!

Love to hear it, check out some of my other guides! Got lots on different topics.

[@OofinGamer]

How do you get bark? Can you not get bark with a stone knife? If so, is bark only from specific trees?

[@Nitno]

You should be able to use the stone knife for bark. Usually it is the thicker trees that will give bark. But most trees will.

[@OofinGamer]

@@Nitno Specific trees is what i was missing. Thank You

Why do I need a website to see a map? 😞

[@Nitno]

I feel ya, can be rough especially with only 1 monitor.

Didn’t even know there were wolves till one bit me, almost seemed like it looked back and ran off. Weird

[@Alexo_]

Really helpful video! thanks :)

[@Nitno]

Thank for the kind words Alexander!

[@guypertwee4132]

This was so good it had all the information and was really helpful for me as a beginner, you have done a really good job on this video it was so clear unlike those other bad videos that are difficult to understand but this was very clear. Thanks so much!!!

[@Nitno]

Thank you Guy Pertwee! That means a lot to hear that. Have fun in DayZ!

[@ThatGuy206]

I have like 12 hours on pc modded, idk if I like modded with weird traders and things, it’s hard to remember. I’m trying to get used to the game again to play official

[@Nitno]

Hello Logan, yep I'd suggest playing on vanilla or lightly modded. Traders with servers is not good to learn the game on in my opinion.

[@Ciachciarachciach]

Thanks a lot ✌️

[@Nitno]

Anytime!
