How A 1000 Hour Solo Survives DayZ

[@NorwegianBastard]

4:30 reminds me why I stopped interacting and trying to befriend other DayZ players 🤣

[@lucianoagustinsanchez77]

Bro, she was so nice haha what a bandit!

[@Visionism]

Yesterday a guy shot me in the face when I was in my inventory to give him the last of my food. C'est la DayZ.

[@Captain_Rimmer]

She didn't appear to be hostile but you can never be sure. I think she was also having audio issues which didn't help. It's a tough call in that situation. Especially if you're geared up.

[@Wayf4rer]

I love these videos. The chill/fun vibes with intense moments with the narration make them a great watch. I love how it's almost structured like an episode of a television show.

[@Ar-k]

Thanks dude, I felt this one flowed really well

[@iwanttoliveinthewoods]

Bruh the way you blasted that chick that was explaining how bad she is, was brutal😂

[@pikeri4196]

I love the adventures side of DayZ, it's unpredictable and full of suprises.

[@Yasamuyi]

Hey Ar-K to be honest just keep doing what you're doing! I love the adventures but having a base to go back to is always a cool aspect of the videos.

[@Stormpriest]

I'm not yet 200 hours in, but I'm already falling into a solo style playthrough anyway. Videos like this are definitely inspirational and helpful as to what kind of locations spawn... Whatever you need, right?

[@Aus11185]

Just got told about this game to watch you! Can’t wait to play myself and learn the ropes. I stayed up till 3am watching ur vids. Big fan already❤️❤️

[@Prxstige11]

I wish you all the best young one may the dayz god help you! 😊

[@darealwolfie]

Hey @Aus11185, I have around 3k hours on DayZ, and I'd be happy to show you around on our own adventure. Would you be interested?

Currently learning the ropes of solo-DayZ and these videos are so helpful and enjoyable - Thank you for the great content 👍

[@Ar-k]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed, and welcome to the world of pain!

[@hdogss1881]

I like any solo gameplay. A good combo of both building and PVP gameplay is always fun to watch. Thanks for the vids!

[@bjrningebrserud4518]

Great video! I have just started to play the game and going solo. Nice “tips and tricks” to take with me in my journey 👍🏻

[@0hmieowen790]

Bro the amount your channel has grown is insane. Keep up the good work man

[@nothingspecialdayz4850]

It was breaking my heart when you been finding all these 7.62 mags and before you had sa vz58. 😭 great vid, much love

[@Xib_]

I play solo chernarus usually, vanilla, so these solo/adventure/basically vanillla are really relatable. The other squad/building videos are good too, but for me the mix really works

[@Ar-k]

Thanks dude!

[@dargar7325]

Adventure side by far. If it gets your pulse racing then that's good. Naid investing or shoot outs for instance. Ty

[@RaidsOnTop]

He is like the wiljum of DayZ lmao.

[@Nodder00]

Ar-k, I have a suggestion for a base for you. If you get enough nails for five or so fences, you can wall in and island in the middle south of chernogorsk. It has numerous city buildings, car spawns and a clean water fountain. Even grass to plant crops on!

[@ahdjfowkjanxisi4595]

You gave that first player kill mercy

[@MelGibsonFrombraveheart]

Your channel is on par with top days content creators I see you growing really well in the future keep this up

[@Ar-k]

Thanks dude!

[@GEA_RuthlessKillaz35]

7.11K subs!?. Bro wtf congratulations you genuinely deserve it (I know I said it a thousand times but you are definitely underrated in my opinion.) but as always bro keep up the good work, you never fail to entertain. Also that random explosion in that little city I've never seen in my life.

[@Ar-k]

Thanks dude!

[@warzonefootage1321]

I like both aspects. Shows the whole adventure which is pretty cool

[@Hellfirebadger]

Dude. Your videos are awesome. Really well made and fun to watch. It is like a story. Keep it up. 👍

[@Ar-k]

Thank you dude!

[@williamtucker2952]

The helicopter crash you didn't find after 20-30 minutes a helicopter will despawn and i love the vids keep up the good work

[@Ar-k]

Ahhh okay! Thanks dude glad you enjoyed

[@rayk.5979]

"Do you guys enjoy the base building or the adventure side?" As a brand new player, I have yet to do any base building other than some impro shelters and buried crates lol. Videos like this inspire me though.

[@Tallness1000]

I can totally feel that ammo drama. The servers can tell I swear.

[@Perc-rw2kz]

29:20 i didn’t even realize you were a small channel until now, your video quality is great and i love your content

[@FUTTODAYZ]

i like the base building side

[@Ar-k]

So do I, but it’s nice to mix it up and try something new

[@CanadianVenturer]

Was waiting for this one! Keep up the vids man ❤️ killing it

[@Ar-k]

Thanks dude! Appreciate it

[@just-another-guy]

The adventures are always worth it. It's nice to have a story of wandering. Also wondering why dayz, why must you always give us what we don't want and never what we do lol. Great vid dude.

[@Ar-k]

Hahah typical dayz! Had enough ammo for an apocalypse for the wrong gun

[@matt.undisclosed]

The best spot I’ve ever made camp at was at the little islands in front of Kamyshovo. There’s nothing to loot on those and they have fat trees that you can easily hide tents in. Since nobody goes over there, I lasted quite a long time.

[@Ar-k]

That’s actually a really good spot, almost hidden in plain sight

[@BISMARKAN19]

Dude that random car exploding was weird ive never seen that before but other than that love your videos man keep it up

[@2406sargent]

I know exactly where you are :D at Minute 11:15 This immediately reminded me of my early days playing DayZ on the Playstation 4. Back then I met a group of 5 people and they were only less than 600m away from the pub where you want to build. We built our base in the forest and it was never found ^^

[@warzonefootage1321]

I think the zombies were coming through the window in that house, a d seemed like you might have shot the zombie and the stair railing as that player was running upstairs. Idk. Crazy stuff

[@Mikeyray0101]

i would never remember how to get back to my tent lol i just be runnin with no where to go lmao

[@tanner356]

I like base building because there’s an objective, but the most raw DayZ entertainment and stories come from adventures. So if you could add other objectives to adventures it would be the best of both worlds. Something like traveling completely around the map without dying, or something like that. Love when you cut to the map to show your trail - do that as much as possible 👍

[@Ar-k]

Yeah it’s good to have both, I do enjoy a base building adventure but also love the roaming and letting the game decide your next move! Thanks for watching dude!

[@jackbennison4312]

I’ve never played Dayz , but that being said I came from playing rust and I’m finding watching this content has really made me wanna buy another pc and give it a shot .. content is so chill and has such a good vibe

[@Ar-k]

Thanks dude! It’s always worth giving it a try! Never know what might happen

[@HernTheHunter]

The mini-bases are a great change to watch.

[@khalilgioca]

When your food burnt i was like KARMA IS A B*** 🤣

[@kubeck]

i swear, that grenade sound happened to me in that exact same town! great video!

[@Ar-k]

Hell yeah! Thanks for watching!

[@mrpheasant9174]

really enjoyed this video again! the dayz gods really wanted you to run an ak XD! that tent was such a perfect color for that spot btw :O

[@Ar-k]

I know I couldn’t believe how well it blended in

[@NotTodayBusta]

@ 30:16 you ran past a red bag before the guns

[@NateFaglie]

You and jlk made me get dayz

[@MrCold14]

I enjoy both sides of DayZ , adventuring is often dull bust sometimes its what makes best of expirience uc ant have in most of the games , base building is more a chill kind of state.I love to put the songs from the early 50-60s like fallout NV and just enjoy the harmony

[@CHOBTHEBBS]

I love the adventures!!! Btw the nade launcher is a quite op gun in the game and that weird explosion could have been someone from far away that saw you and didnt had a sniper so he tried to nade maybe? Quite weird!!! Keep it up!!

[@johndaly7544]

That bang in the town could of been someone shooting a trap or someone walking on a tripwire with a bomb on it. Or maybe a landmine with a granade next to it.

[@Ar-k]

I thought grenade at first, but there was just no sign of a player anywhere so I figured it had to be a trap

[@johndaly7544]

@@Ar-k would love to appear on a video. I only play on ps5 tho.

[@Kleineralsdulil]

i started like 3 days ago and it cracked me tf up when u shot that poor girl that seemed like a fish out the water xD that could have been me im still trying my best in not dying while collecting stuff for a base but im getting there

[@girlieee_c]

Encounters with other people are always 50:50. Always go with your gut like you did; at least you know 100% you'll be alive through that situation.

[@aso6437]

Grenade was one of two things, someone was bored or baiting.. GG's Bro.
