How a 5000 Hour Solo Plays DayZ

Today, we're diving back into a classic solo run on the iconic Chernarus map - a place that's likely where many of us first began our DayZ adventures. As always, I prefer my adventures Vanilla flavored. There's a unique charm to surviving the world of DayZ solo that other games just can't replicate.

Welcome to all the new people! Yes I know obnoxious title, however I hope you enjoy the video

[@isaiahimmortal7524]

I’m submitting 😊

[@CappyCraigZ]

I just subbed today I enjoy ur videos. Any advice for a new player on where to find weapons and ammo?? Seems like you and everyone you kill is always loaded with weapons and ammo. I’m lucky to find a single firearm with a few damaged rounds. Playing on console, any suggestions??? I’d greatly appreciate it.

[@MidniteJae]

It's interesting how 5000 hour videos look the same as my 150...until you see his level of awareness, and aim.

[@BigMan_3039]

He threw an m4a1 away directly after getting a 30 round mag for it and plenty of bullets it. There was no reason to not just take the ak with him and carry it in his hands till he finds a weapon cleaning kit.

[@gretacoolchannelmoss4723]

@@BigMan_3039so true bro. U read my mind.

[@Alpine642]

@@BigMan_3039and he picked up a scorpion from those two geared guys . Woulda just thrown into the woods and kept the m16

[@superq3215]

Sly your one of the most underrated dayz KZbinrs. Keep up the great content!

[@DatGuySyl]

Thank you Q 🤠

[@TheBaracudaGamer]

best experience i ever had on the village, I was solo and hanging out. this was when the base was in navaya petrovka and we started getting sniped from the treeline north. I was full ghillie with just a crossbow and wiped 3 dudes from the treeline running in between their shots and the guards. had to zig zag and jump around the field while still being sniped by guards until I could get in range and remind them who I was. best server I ever played on.

[@ozgott1415]

Damn dude... my heart is beating out of my chest at the end there... damn!

[@lukenzije2233]

[@aso6437]

GG's Bro.

[@TylerSmith-om1cr]

I didn’t know we had mossbergs in vanilla

[@SlicksWheels]

Ill never understand the hours played titles from youtubers, but nice video!

[@DatGuySyl]

It’s the stupid meta that goes for many videogames nowadays. The attention span of people is so small nowadays, you only get 1-2 seconds to catch someone’s attention. Hence why you have to get some “clickbaity” titles. Numbers stand out. Personally, not a big fan of it, I rather be more humble, but I’ve tried that before and it results spoke for itself. But thank you for the compliment man! Appreciate it 🤠👊🏼

[@SlicksWheels]

@@DatGuySyl Oh no, I understand the tactics. It's just like a match of who's rod is longer ig. Much love bro.

[@DatGuySyl]

@@SlicksWheels hahahahahah pretty much mate

[@RealZard]

what are your obs setting to record and stream man nice video

[@Sr.Melgar]

Nice video! I like the experience of playing alone but it is common to find servers where people play stardey valley. Do you recommend any type of server? Temporary official servers?

[@hansappels5400]

perfect video.............. this is DayZ on top.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, this is the game. 👍💪🏋‍♀

[@SaveNobody]

More vanilla content! This is fkin awsome dude!

[@DatGuySyl]

Yes sir 🤠

[@trendingnow.9548]

not even vanilla

[@michaelking8903]

Rather than craft a gillie it is faster now "2024" to find the parts at a convoy spawn.

[@diezl187]

You’re from the Netherlands? That’s wild! I originally assumed you were from North America and only hear your accent very subtly!

[@DatGuySyl]

hahaha yeah, I mean one of my best friends is american and we played every day for years and subconsciously I took over the american accent

[@twinkiepinki]

thats not vanilla dayz

[@user-ft1tn3zg5o]

Это не ванила чувак. М4 на хеликраше))))

[@mattclark6424]

play day1 more often good server good interactions and love the solo syl good vid :)

[@DatGuySyl]

Absolutely having a great time over there!

[@mrwick7961]

this is not even remotley vanilla... an m4 at a helicrash lol

[@gubsterZ]

thats true but doesnt matter , its probably vanilla + server the video is nice tho

[@DatGuySyl]

It was on DayOne, I mean they advertise it as hardcore vanilla. Just taking their word for it 😂

[@slavaukraine5245]

I cant lie i lost respect for you after the "babe! Can you get him away!?" 😂

[@T3hG4m3rz43v3r]

Im pretty sure youtube unsubscribed me, in other words, you're a damn good shot

[@DatGuySyl]

Silly KZbin 😉

[@entercat3826]

dude yeeted that m4. imagine ur a freshie and an m4 comes flying in yo face. i wouldve shot the m4

[@jonathanv8127]

Is the Mosin not better than the blaze or Tundra? Just wondering. Edit: nvm you said it in your vid 😂

[@thebelgiansurvivor7398]

The Community Z server is the same as that village server. Sadly the player base is not that big.

[@zeidalifathalla7494]

what server is this

[@CappyCraigZ]

I’m lucky to find a single firearm with maybeeee 3 or 4 rounds. Where and how are these guys getting all their weapons and ammo!!!???

[@unknown-DayZ]

Dayz is the best game ever❤

[@tomtom420dsnut7]

👍👍👍

[@saltyrockgaming1868]

I hope this comment finds you well, I think it would be super beneficial to add a green screen to the cam. The music was incredible your voice calming I was super relaxed watching but the yellow of your room was a distraction. Just a comment, great video!

[@DatGuySyl]

Hey man, yeah I’m considering that. I’ve to figure it out though how to set it up, but something for sure I’d like to get done in the near future

[@kylan419]

I hate the lack of interactions in dayz. Do you know any good servers?

[@DatGuySyl]

Usually the non base servers are good

[@LesterMoe26]

namalsk

[@xenomorph1317]

Do people still talk in Dayz or shoot on sight? The end was pretty good though, karma.

[@scillycoastcustoms4969]

those are rookie numbers

[@danynouk]

mosin is the slowest round in the game tho

[@bush_man_jones]

[@justaguywhoplaysfalloutsom1104]

This isn’t even vanilla. Calling it vanilla gives people a false sense of what vanilla dayz is.

[@DatGuySyl]

This is vanilla DayOne mate

[@justaguywhoplaysfalloutsom1104]

Vanilla doesn’t have the m1a socom or the Mossberg hunter. That is a modded server.

[@Yagisag]

Just say it’s modded next time that’s all

[@Br1ck_xD]
