How to have a Perfect Start in 2024 DayZ - Beginners Guide - Part 2

[@m1ln3r88]

“There’s a lot of people here” … “there is exactly four of us!” Love you Cam!!

[@camcantrun]

Love ya brother, give love to Ms Milner!

[@LincolnRenee]

the way you explain everything step by step really helped. nobody explains things like you do anymore and you honestly deserve alot more than 3k subscribers

[@camcantrun]

Big love my friend, I'm just happy to help people. Obviously getting 3k subs is super cool to me, but so long as I'm helping, I'm winning in the end. Thanks for the kind words.

[@edmartin875]

I'm watching this video 3 weeks after you posted it and the subs are a 4.5 k, so you are getting a lot of watches. I subbed after watching part 1 so mine isn't counted in that on week with a 1.5k increase. Your videos with great content are becoming known more and more. Congrats and well done.@@camcantrun

[@larsdijk12]

You sir have very quickly become my favorite Dayz youtuber, great information, thank you.

[@derrickdurbin1334]

Same!

[@Th3Watch3r]

I just started playing yesterday. 5 hours in I've died 4 times and found one knife and barely any food. It seems like the places I try to loot have already been looted

[@bdkfbwk]

Part 1 helped me understand the basics Part 2 solidified those basics and showed me how to respond appropriately when things get dicey. I subbed in anticipation for Part 3, you can just read the other comments to see what you're doing right, keep it up!

[@camcantrun]

Hell yeah, that was the goal. I'm happy it did the job my friend, all love.

[@unitor699industries]

haha the guy with wraps hoodie and shady sunglasses is one of the types who will turn on you at the end as soon as you find so tier 3 weapons

[@batman_but_caked_up]

100% the way he came up and said there’s a lot of people here tipped me off, I’m sure it did for him to. That’s why he was quick to kill, it sounded like he wanted all of their fruit and bandages.

[@treybonnell]

These videos are so helpful. I have 2000 hours in and I learned a lot. Also love your positive attitude and the humor. Keep up the great work!

[@camcantrun]

Got it for you TREY, LETS GO :)

[@Daggerdawg]

Just started DayZ yesterday, I’ve been watching your videos and I can tell I’ve been getting better. Thanks for the help man

[@tannerw494]

Awh man, these videos hit that sweet spot of 1. Going into detail as to the "whys" of what you're doing, while 2. Not explaining every little detail to us like we're stupid - You have respect to the people watching. Mad props for that. This is a video that is easy to digest for the newbies, but still being entertaining for the seasoned folk. For me who just started my Dayz journey, you earned the sub! Hope to see more content like this. Cheers.

[@fairlycautious1682]

Cam, great job here buddy. Very informative, great interaction, knowledge and positivity. Video 3 inbound please… from spawn to death, let’s do this!

[@camcantrun]

From SPAWN TO DEATH?!!!! That would be like an EIGHT HOUR VIDEO (insert kappa here) for real though, thanks for the kindness happy it helped.

[@whosinferno6787]

​@camcantrun hell yeah please keep this playthough going would love to see how you continue and how it ends!,

[@Ben-zr4ho]

I like the interactions with the oh so fresh spawns. So wholesome. "We need to find out what town we are in. How do we do that?" A patient teacher.

[@whosinferno6787]

Absolutely loved this video! What a fantastic follow on! I am in the middle of my best run yet, managed to bump into a person on a server who has helped me massively with learning everything I can, has helped me get more geared than I've ever been and even given me access to their weapons and ammo stashes! Lead me on an awesome journey and has left me at the radio tower where we've both logged off. I really really hope I find him again when I get a chance to play again. Thanks tk him I have a kitted out blaze, vaiga and a ak74 all with ammo! Plenty of food and meds

[@camcantrun]

You only know how friendly someone is after saying hello. I'm happy ya'll got connected, remember you can add them on STEAM or DISCORD to assure you stay connected and get to play again!

[@whosinferno6787]

@camcantrun I'm definitely gonna try adding them next time we run into eachother! He gave me a radio aswell with a working battery to make sure we can connect! Hopefully he's still around next time! The only downside about working away from home is not being able to play more regularly! And being on ps5 means no modded maps or servers but oh well!

[@happylittlemountains3724]

​@whosinferno6787 some community servers do have those mods server side

[@fbombsflyingwrenchesgarage6334]

You could have cut up PO for bones to make a hook made a rope from some rags and find a stick from a tree and dig for some worms with your knife and fished.

[@camcantrun]

You right!

[@SpaceRangerrr]

I just started playing days yesterday. Ur a legend. Thanks for the help. No BS, no script, just real experiences. Thank you brother❤

[@MrJakeyftodler]

Dude thank you so much. I just started playing. On and off for two weeks now. I get wayyyyy farther after watching your videos

[@stillwater5340]

I had just bought the game and have been looking for some beginners guides to watch because I was slowly losing interesting (because of the amount you would have to learn and the time it would take). finding your part 1 & 2 has changed my momentum in that decision, I started a "walk-along" with your first video and would go back to it for reference. really enjoyed your videos and can wait to see a 3rd part to this series!!!

[@joshsjdmhatch]

Guides like yours are the reason that I didn't quit this game very early on. This is a very frustrating game to learn all the mechanics of if you do like me and go in with no information. Thanks for the great vids.

[@camcantrun]

Happy I could help my friend.

[@hultberg90]

Calm and informative in an easy way. Great humor, keep it up dude.

[@camcantrun]

THanks so much my friend, appreciate the kindness.

[@callsigngraycat4408]

hey Cam! thank you for all the knowledge you shared! it actually proved to be usefull! as a total noob to dayz, i thought that fighting zombies was actually a common knowledge by now. but while i was playing today, as soon as i joined the server i saw two survivors getting absolutely mauled by the infected, and they didn't know what to do. unfortunately i couldn't protect them, so they died shortly after, and i still had a bunch of zombies on my tail. using the tips you provided, i managed to fight off some of them and then even trapped like 3 or 4 in a building, just like you showed! thank you again for such amazing content, never stop making it🔥

[@camcantrun]

King of the castle my friend, keep fighting the good fight!

[@Brotha_Tony]

“There’s a lot of people here” “There’s exactly 4 of us” 😂😂

[@shutupshaun]

You are totally making me want to get DayZ. I love games like this and I honestly didn't get this game because of the community I heard was really rough on noobs. I'm not as worried now.

[@camcantrun]

I don't think the community is rough on noobs, I think the game is rough on noobs because of lack of direction. IE: a tutorial. But thankfully, you got me brother and I got you. Get out there and survive.

[@Snake082389]

Dude love your video 😂. This literally got me back into the game after a 10 year hiatus. This game is completely new from the last time I played it and I thank you for your tutorial hope to see more of your videos.

[@Sendfornoods]

I’ve probably been playing DayZ on console for about 10 hours and have had some good runs and a lot of not so good runs. This video is amazing for me, been looking for something like this for a while. Please carry on this life!!

[@camcantrun]

I'm with you my friend, live long, live good.

[@Branden2DX]

Ngl I didn’t think you needed to kill Po. He was watching the other guy run saying “we got a runner” as a joke. Cmon now. Hahahaha

[@camcantrun]

That's the beauty of DayZ, you can literally do anything in any way and there is no morale code beyond abusing mechanics. But, he did aim a fatal weapon at a friend. So.... Po, hopefully learned. Big love.

Never trust someone with a rag head wrap man

Always nice seeing a vid from cam killing it lately keep it up

[@moncreebrown948]

Man I freaking love these videos. Hopefully I can become better at the game.

[@KO3K1]

your guide helps a lot only thing i never get sick from drinking found bottles of water or a canteen. Also you can spawn near friends by being in the same server and dying or suicide and press the respawn button at the same time. i think you have to have them add on you friend list though

[@AlbinoRhino1886]

I have 10k+ hours and yet your viedos seem to capture something that i find fun to watch. Good content

[@nathanielbeemer1861]

Really great video man.

Please make more of these. Part 3! Thank you!

[@MrNachoGaming-wz7xt]

I just started and this is really helpful since everytime I tried to leave the coast I would die of hunger but I spawned near the big city on the east coast and found loads of food and killed a dude that was loaded

[@TheBear0769]

Thanks for the tips. Really enjoying the run through. I just downloaded it on xbox. So cross your fingers for that perfect start. 😊

It probably wont happen first try out, just keep going my friend!

@camcantrun yup died 3 times trying to figure out the controls functions and nothing is straight forward with Controller . Ugh

I really like how this guy breaks down how to play this game you have a subscriber in me with notifications turned on

[@Jarbones]

Do you use TrackIR? Your videos kick the ass of this topic. I'll watch them all.

[@camcantrun]

Hey there my friend, hope you're well. I don't know what that is even after a google search. Haah, care to educate me?

[@Jarbones]

@@camcantrun It's a head-tracking device that allows you to free-look with your head. Try searching TrackIR 5. It's been bugged in DayZ, but works really well in Arma3. I was hoping they'd fix it in Dayz. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZ2QqY2DabaijqMsi=_IYfH7NS_KxnkFG9

[@davidbyrnes8541]

You said the only cure to the gas poisoning is a pox antidote, but you can also use a blood bag of a compatible type. One of the reasons that if you find a blood extraction kit and have full blood, you should fill it up. Always good to have a bag of your own blood on ya!

[@camcantrun]

Dude, that some science beyond even my own comprehension. That is awesome. Although I don't think it's necessary for this guide, what a great piece of information. Thankyou.

[@gotlifez3558]

funfact as an legacy player with 2000+ hrs only freshspawns run directly on streets, so to avoid conflicts its good to not be visible, but to run sporadically on streets is mostly safer as running parallely all the time, as all geared hooman hunters do too ;) you run into them more probably but yea overall a good point, in special to avoid zombies which have industrial wear btw. if you want to harvest much food, grab a car, drive to the big block of flats north of cherno, this zombies seems to have higher chance to drop their cityFood cargo :D

[@namenotfound1118]

I had seen one of the youtuber playing DayZ maybe it was his first time or whatever and he had all the helpful markers on his screen like a map and name tags on his friends and on top of the screen there was compass markings that showed direction.

[@camcantrun]

Those are on MODDED SERVERS that are made to make the game a little easier but also a little more PVP focused and less realistic on the survival side.

[@MrNavarro85]

always a great video! Cheers from Brasil, Mahogany

[@camcantrun]

Hell yeah my friend, happy you liked it.

[@claytonwasden6769]

Please do a video about finding friends it seems a lot harder then it should be. Also about base building the looting process is important and your last two videos have helped me as a player tremendously but it seems I run into having to much and no where to store it

[@ratkeller9608]

I am interested to know your take on this spawn, definitely what I consider one of the harder starting positions. yet reward in the mid game is pretty good as it is close to the North. Food has always been my issue here, and I generally attempt fishing before setting out. I have starved from this spawn a few times.

[@lordtracon]

Cam, my name’s also Cam. You are the man, Cam.

[@andreyandreenkov4686]

hey man grate video, not a noob my self, have been playing the game since day one xD and all the new guys who watch this video, listen to this man, he did a grate job explaining things! But I have one desagreement here, on my streaming channel (not desclosing it here) i made a video about surviving on the coast and if you know what you are doing, its actually very easy to do especially after the 1.23 update with new spawn groups. You have todo one aswell, even as a little challenge going from North-East to South-West.

[@andreyandreenkov4686]

[@meltvanaarde8141]

Another Great video. Thx a million. After viodeo 1 this was a great follow up

[@chadnoles5671]

I think the biggest difference in what you did and what I would do in a similar situation is i would stay on the coast and fish instead of moving in to hunt

[@RangerLifts]

Finally had my first good day in dayz, been playing a week (Xbox). I’ve been playing for about a week and a half and just logged out for the first time with guns full health food and water. I might be spending too much time on the coast but I can’t survive anywhere else XD all my “buddies” kill me.

[@GavinKlos]

You should become a public speaker your own way with words and teaching is wonderful

[@randomcow505]

anyone whos new to the game or going to try it out id HIGHLY recommend starting on a medium population modded server (like 30 people) Ideally one with a shop system and infinite stamina and maybe bring some friends when you know you can easy buy new good gear you dont have gear fear, and then you go looting a lot more and realise that as a fresh spawn if you hit the right places you dont even need to buy it, you can just get geared up in 30 minuites if you get the right spots

[@camcantrun]

I'm happy this worked for you.... I recommend the exact opposite.

[@fidelgoblin3203]

awesome content bro ! thank you !

[@poppsos4361]

Just curious I played rust for awhile and that game kinda has a end goal of establishing ur loot and securing it in a base/hut is there anything like that in this game?

[@camcantrun]

Hello my friend, where RUST in game looks mostly like dominating and getting loot. DAYZ is a sandbox, so the "end goal" is yours to define. IE: I want to get to NorthWestAirfield// I want to get an NBC SUIT // I WANT TO EAT PEOPLE it's yours to define my friend. :)

[@poppsos4361]

thanks for this!@@camcantrun

[@IXGRAVEMINDXI]

I noticed you don’t check clothes on the ground and tables like the pea coats and quilted jackets. You’re missing food and ammo sometimes meds. Idk maybe I’ve just had good luck. I search literally EVERYTHING even poi’s I know don’t spawn loot. It’s like a sickness lol

43:26 classic american way of building a real connection. amazing

[@gotlifez3558]

dayz writes history, some weeks ago i died, i spawned at some small village, it was deep night, all totally dark, i started to make a fire after i found a knife, as i was bored and wanted to see the nice light effects at pitchblacknight, i looted nearby houses, got back, made a bigger campfire near a house, so clearly visible for everyone if someone would pass, like half hour later, out of the shadows a badly woundey guy showed up, he had hunting gear, and was walking as he had red life bar already, he asked for food, i had plenty, so i dropped him a beans can, he thanked me and walked of looting the nearby houses and .. he was gone true story and so cool, besides all the deaths you face.. once i had a heeavy fight with wolves, i totally underrated them, as i didnt played many years, and so i was new to wolvepacks in dayz this game is a gamechanger, a classic, a milestone for sure EVEN its soooo bad at mechanics bohemia had once many years back ragdoll activated, it killed the servers as the load of the data could not be handled so they disabledit again and said they will never ever enable this again very very sad point BUT its still dayz and driving too makes soooooo much fun now.. and is so complex too i love it, im only searching for cars, looting zeleno, *hidin' wooden crates all over the city haha
