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

[@camcantrun]

Wow, so many new people watching and learning from this video. I'm so happy it's helped someone. Please check out part 2 out now if you are interested linked here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mouvaHyimNWYicUsi=9_Res6y2rJPCwZEZ

I've been playing DayZ for close to 10 years but I still love beginner videos you never know you might learn something new

[@BeamNGCrashMan]

have u seen my grandma? she is a wheelchair driver

[@TheBeertruck85]

You're a natural at this, really good video!

[@erinyeza]

Bought dayz ages ago and still too scared to play. But I watch hours and hours. Awesome video, thank you so much! One day I'll stop being so chicken and get playing. Any server advice for a new grrrrl...? probably EU as EU servers are my closest for PUBG, so thinking my ping will be awful to NA servers. Thank you, happy new year and greetings from the bottom of Africa 🔥👊🔥

[@erinyeza]

Ps of course.. off to twitch to drop a follow! Cant promise to visit live - depending on time zones. You should add your twitch link in the video description? I almost missed it here in comments. Thank you again, supercool video.

[@lovehate6996]

As my friends say, it’s not our loot, it’s just our turn to use it. Always be ready to respawn and start again, the game is endless.

[@ActuallyAcce]

I had to learn this literally yesterday. First time being decently kitted out with a friend, travelling across some countryside when I got sniped in the head from the treeline. The whole adventure that I had with that character, from beginning to end, I don't think I'll forget.

❤ that would be nice and I hope everyone finds a nice guy in the apocalypse. Just remember if everyone survives it don't make for much of an apocalypse

[@zan7838]

that sentence doesnt exactly sound very polite - "...friend, feel free to follow me if you want to learn how to live"

[@tremoniarules]

From an experienced DayZ player: I can confirm that this video is not scripted (crazy that you had to say this in your video!) 😂 Once you put in the work, playing hours for hours and especially doing research on all the things the game doesn't tell you, surviving (PVE) in DayZ is sooo easy. PVP is the challenging part. But the game will reward you with great adventures including a good atmosphere, beautiful landscapes, crazy adrenaline rushes and maybe meeting a new lifetime-friend right around the corner. And don't forget, never love your loot and don't fomo 😊

[@matydrum]

What's fomo?

[@markbrowning4334]

He needed to at least try and valudate no scripting as many of the DayZ youtubers absolutely script their content. Usually its pvp content. There was no need to script a tutorial style video.

[@huntresskira]

You sir are like those god given trainers at any workplace where they thoroughly give you the best rule of thumbs to someone who has no experience in the industry whatsoever, easy to understand, giving insight as we go instead of bombarding us with information before it can even apply to the current situation. I liked this video, I hope for new players to easily find this channel

Just always remember, soon as you spawn into the game as a Freshie, the direction you Are Facing is ALWAYS NORTH... This would be a really good video for a new player too, nice job 👍🏻👍🏻

[@FriendlyBanditZ]

great guide, i'm somewhat of DayZ master with almost 3,000 hours and i like to watch beginner guides just to judge the guides people are making :D this has to be most entertaining raw cut guide i've seen so far and even learned that blocking + walking recovers stamina faster! Always like to find new ''small'' channels making great content in my feed, keep it up and one day you can script the videos! There was some things i would have added but then i remembered it's a beginners guide and not intermediate guide for experienced players, waiting for that one! i was impressed you actually included that right click animation canceling that many guides doesn't include, which works aswell on animation like finishing cutting down trees which is useful to speed up the wood cutting process while building a base, or burying stuff in the ground etc.

[@camcantrun]

Thanks my friend, scripts incoming.

[@truthfilter]

thing is say you've put 3,000 hours in then you get killed you lose everything and start right from the beginning ?

[@saloscontent]

@@truthfilterhe havent played 3k hours in 1 life because thats impossible if you not play 1hr day 3k timnes lol i have 6k and if i die i go again thats the fun part to go in a new adventure thats why sessions calls "lifes"

[@FriendlyBanditZ]

@@saloscontent at some point being full geared just gets boring and i often get to the point where i just can’t trust anyone less geared than me and everyone that has equal gear is always looking for a fight, when i get killed, it’s a new opportunity to find someone at the coast to team up with for a good fucking adventure until death do us apart. DayZ is all about the journey not the destination.

[@Philinleshed]

As someone brand new to the game I’ve watched like 10 beginner guides and even tho this video isn’t the most organized when going over everything it was by far the most helpful lol

[@SnipeGhost]

this is many times more helpful than any other guide video. playing the game normally with an incredibly experienced player is millions of times more informative than *beginner guides*

[@nicolasmangou8212]

And there are us, the newbee, who after 4 hours of dayz and 5 differents attempts/quick death, still freezing to death, sick, with no food but full of equipement we will not used, scared of every zombie... ^^ thank you very much for this video ! live, die, repeat...live, die less fast, repeat... live, think you are now better but still die, repeat :-)

[@camcantrun]

We all gotta struggle to understand the way! I just released an actual tutorial if you need help with the basics :)

[@devintaggert7965]

You'll get it I promise this game whooped me when I started I still consider myself a newbie but I finally made it twords the middle of the map you'll start to see more progress dieing less and traveling further just remember its not your loot its just your turn with it

[@THEWEEZYEFFECT1]

I've just stared playing , this was such an awesome guide, this game is extremely intimidating to new players, it's so in depth . Thank you

[@Furshuur]

This was a really great video man. You see a lot of DayZ guides out there, but don't think I've ever seen someone just showing a full loot run from the coast. Very useful for anyone that's starting out in DayZ, and even as a veteran player I still found the video highly entertaining!

Here's me who has over 4k hours in DayZ and learning something new. I didn't know that going prone inside a building speeds up the zombies calming. I just thought they had a set timer with no LOS to lose interest. I enjoyed watching this!

Knowledge, is powerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Really? 4000 hours and you didn’t know going prone made the zombies lose interest?

Have dabbled in DayZ over the years but never had a rig that could run it properly, watching your videos always manages to scratch that itch. Here's to more in 2024!

[@camcantrun]

Hell yeah brother!

[@Thraakull]

oi mate! your video has really helped me and I think it covers the main basics or fundamentals for survival - most videos or rather the uploaders of videos have mostly stated that one should avoid zombies - with the usage of izurvive map and picking my fights with zombies carefully I was almost able to make it in-land, survived a night by a campfire and I actually have managed to stay hydrated (that pump thing is burned into my mind) and fed, not even getting sick, using my common sense for the rest - that campfire I made at a forrest during a night to stay warm, after that I have went prone further from the flames and from the light being emitted, in case someone discovers it and thus I would have been able to see them, then I have moved towards a set of hunting cabins just in time to see the wind pick up and thinking, just like in real life "oh it is about to start raining" and hid inside the cabins just in time - survived for 3 hours with decent loot and without even meeting anyone, killing only 25 zombies with a melee weapon - so thank you for finally a proper fundamental start of my absolute, absolute noob DayZ adventure!

[@camcantrun]

Hell yeah my friend, keep going tell me how the journey ends.

[@jameson63926]

Pretty much sums up my first 500 hours of discovery! Exceptionally well rounded intro guide.

[@busabx9296]

yes here after..20hrs..offline and PVE to learn the ropes..every small step along the brutal learning curve is rewarding, get just a little bit further each time, then something trips me up - too many zombies at once or a key resource I didn't find. excellent guide, too much to take in all at once, so will need to come back between deaths.

[@futurekinggaming]

Great video and the commentary is not overwhelming. Pleasant to adventure with you along your journey. Highly recommended. I am new to Dayz on ps5 with just over 200 hrs. Very informative! Nice work keep them coming.

Appreciate you my friend!

[@ok-mv4ww]

Tip for stealth killing Zs: trainers are the quietest type of shoe (besides foot wraps). If you wear them so long as you are not walking on concrete Zs arent likely to hear you. I generally dont wear boots because i find stealthing to be the easiest way to deal with Zs. as long as you stay behind them they are not likely to notice you. Tip for rotten fruit/ Unknown cans: If you watch the bottom right of your screen you can eat rotten fruit or unknown cans until the stomach icon indicating youre full appears, stop eating when it shows then wait a while until it disappears. When it does you can continue eating. You will not get sick if you do this

[@williamray4512]

I've been playing for 5 years and watching videos for the same amount of time. This is the most helpful straight to the point video yet.

[@lmAIone]

“Liam neeson, from the walking dead” had me laughing so hard 😂 Great video buddy, you should continue this series!

[@camcantrun]

Happy to get a giggle my friend.

[@CobeGt-07]

One more thing, the closer you are to the NorthWest Airfield or any popular military site the more likely you are to encounter another player, all the surrounding towns will generally have more players because they are either heading to or leaving the military site, so always assume there's gonna be another player close and be ready just in case

[@angelmelko]

Thanks, this should be a first thing that people should watch before playing dayz.

[@JWillSK8]

this has seriously been one of the most helpful and best presented tutorial ive seen yet man! thank you!!

[@camcantrun]

Happy it helped my friend.

[@pixelocityyt3825]

Thank you, seriously, other guide videos may show you things such as how to do certain things but you show how the game goes, how the game actually is, with raw, uncut footage which is a thousand times more helpful than some extremely scripted guide.

[@whatchaMACALLEM-222]

Just started playing and this is gonna be a big help watching this. Out of all the videos ive watched for beginners this one was by far the best. You touched on everything that you really need to know but other video dont tell you. A big one was getting your sense of direction. I wish I would've watched this before I just died for multiple hours but at least now i wont have such s hard time😂.

[@curlzforthegirlz9165]

This video completely changed my opinion on this game with how well you explained the basics. Looking forward to playing it now!

[@nathanielmiller2101]

A couple more tips to add: 6 rags combined with 6 rags = 1 rope 1 long stick + rope = fishing rod 1 unit of bones (from animals or player corpses) + knife = bone fishhook Dig for worms, then add to your bone fish hook to make fishing bait, add the bait to your fishing rod, then cast over a body of water to fish. Clean fish with knife then add the fish pieces to a sharpened long stick to get ready to roast over a campfire/portable gas stove. All you need to get started with fishing are bones, a knife, and some rags. If you have ammo that you don't mind wasting on zombies and are being chased by a horde, climb on top of a car/pallet/cement block and stand in the middle of whatever you climbed on. Zombies don't climb so you can then take your time headshotting them. Water in the water bottles can be unsafe to drink, but not always. When in doubt use chlorine tablets or drink from a well. Do not eat long pig/people meat because you'll get Kuru which will eventually make you laugh uncontrollably, thereby giving away your position to zombies/other players. Other players are not your friends, but not everyone is out to kill you and steal your bones. If you don't have gloves, wash your hands before you eat or risk disease. Rags can be crafted into various improvised clothing, so for example if you can't find gloves, you could make some from rags. Lockpicks cannot be repaired, so if you're gonna settle down, make sure you get that combo lock gate up before your lockpick breaks. One more thing I was surprised wasn't in the video was the hand drill. Want a campfire, but have no matches? No lighter?, no road flare? Equip a knife, cut some bark off a tree, and grab a long stick. Craft short sticks from the long stick, then combine bark and stick to make a hand drill kit. Don't try to light a campfire outside when it's raining, because it won't light, and even if it did, it would go out. If you decide to settle down, invest in farming. Grab some seeds and equip a shovel/hoe/pickaxe, then "choose placement" on a patch of dirt. Once your plot is down, add seeds to each of the 9 squares. Water the seeds, and eventually you'll have fresh veggies.

[@QuackSecX]

Amazing, so informative. I have been watching people play DayZ for years on KZbin but have never played myself lol. Playing is very different from watching and I had zero clue how to even craft until I watched this video. The fact this was all one edit and you just did thius on the fly is amazing as well! Just subscribed because of this video.

For someone who watches you run this ISH! I just learned so much on how things work in game. Great job CAM!👏👏

[@nicnelson5795]

I’ve just started my first adventure in DayZ with a friend. This is such a great introduction and I feel much less afraid of the eventual respawn loop, thank you!

[@RogueDarkAgent]

Good luck out there. Pro tip walking on grass instead of the road also makes your footwear last longer 😂👍

[@rehab_reject]

For a stealth kill, you must slow crouch walk up to the Z from behind. Also, I always keep a stash of bullets that I don't need on me to deal with infected. .22 are great because you can keep a ton of them in one slot. If there are a lot of Zs in my path I'll simply throw one as a distraction.

[@happylittlemountains3724]

Throwing a bullet as a distraction is amazing thank you!

[@GuineaPigLover666]

Hey, man, I just wanna thank you. I remember years ago when I was just a little boy. Watching Dayz onKZbin for hours and hours in Beta. That was when it was only on the PC. I've never had pc. So I thought me and my friends would never. Ever be able to play now that I'm on adult. I seen it is for counsel. I downloaded it I couldn't wait to play it after watching countless hours of other people play it on KZbin. When I logged in I hated it. It was so so so Difficult it's still is difficult. I haven't made it one night. But after watching this video I am extremely confident. I will be able to survive at least one day. Thank you for making a Complete complete beginner's guide for the mentally ill like myself haha.

@camcantrun well I deleted the game haha I know it's a fun game for some but after watching it hours as a kid I always imagined it being easier. It's just toooooo hard of a game for me. I starve in 45 mins. Thank you tho great vid

[@heidi9569]

@@GuineaPigLover666I recommend Downloading the iZurvive maps. That way you always know where a fruit tree is and you’ll never starve. Also the buttons on console have a steep learning curve and there’s lots of tricks to make it easier. I recommend looking up a video for console buttons. Keep playing- it gets easier!

You can attack Zombies from inside a house - via the windows. Use a weapon like a hoe and smack ‘em. Also if you can’t find matches to light a fire I think you can combine tree bark and small stick to ignite fires. I’ve not tried it yet. This video is great stuff. Thank you :)

[@driverjamescopeland]

1:52 - you literally passed up a car, to run around the block and go into a house to avaoid those zombies. All you had to do, was get on top of the car. The zombies won't climb it, and won't hit you if you're on the roof. From there, you can simply punch them to death. Great early game method to get those crucial fresh spawn goods... as zombies usually carry soda cans, numerous food items, and kitchen knives. This is usually the quickest way to white vitals as a fresh spawn.

[@camcantrun]

Just started dayZ as a long time PC gamer, can't believe I put this off until 2024.... but I'm glad to finally be learning! Hopefully DayZ still has years more ahead, It's cool to see so many in the comments that are just starting too, even though the game has been out for so long. Thanks for the guide man.

In the main screen, if you look over shoulder just slightly by turning your character and then let go in the direction of rotation, it's gonna goofily keep trying to turn around. You're welcome. Nice Video, authentic and original content. Thanks for the knowledge

[@livwilde8267]

great video, i downloaded the game for me and an old buddy last week.. we're going to jump in for the first time today! this gives us a head start on what we're in for i think... thank you for the video!!

[@camcantrun]

Hell yeah, hope you and your friend are having a blast.

[@bencross5332]

U did in 5 min what took me 3 hours tonight on my first play couldnt even figure out how to get a fire going. Then i spawned at night and frustration was at an all time high

[@camcantrun]

It can be tough out there, good luck my friend!

[@hannahmorgan4743]

This is so underrated! As much as I adore watching the big story-based Dayz players, I didn't learn much from watching them (even on stream) because they go so fast. Very helpful, thank you

[@hennersss]

I've been playing this for 5 years but I'm still picking up tips. Thanks

[@joemcmurray]

I am a semi exp player on cheat servers, been working on offical now im used to dying used to getting shot in the back but wasnt uses to dying from food or lack of clean bandages. Thank you for playing a real official server most of these type videoa they get 4 drops a house got guns in 5 min and say their on official so ty o can pawn hour or two after starting but first hour or two kicks my ass on offical so ty for great video

[@camcantrun]

Care about you my friend!

[@mativtm]

I had been playing DayZ for some time now, about like 200 hours but still didn't get the whole game and surving thing, but ur vid actually saved me in some situations I was in, so really appriciate all the tips. Looking forward for you to post more DayZ content.

[@czejczej]

I'm playing DayZ since 2013 with some gaps. Just having under 500 hours in it and recently I started playing after a 2 years gap. Honestly these sort of videos helps a lot specially after a lot of things has been changed in the game since last I played :) Thanks :)

[@DuchxDD]

you turned my mind from saying “dayz is a running simulator” to “woahhh its this easy?” hopefully i can pull this off and ima drop a sub for more content like this. Watching you play is amazing

[@floppydisk8783]

This was a fantastic video. So excited to get off my shift today and give it another go

[@johnkaplan3810]

Long time gamer, but I just started playing DayZ this weekend. I cannot stop playing, it is so fun. A lot to learn though, and this video helped a lot. For example, I learned that I do not NEED 6 pieces of firewood and 10 short sticks to start a fire.

[@Kendo790]

I started like about a month ago. Was dying and not knowing why and what to do. Watched some beginner tips videos including this one an the others you made. Now I'm over 100 hours in and I just love this game.

[@Bumbaskida]

My fist spawn was in the middle of a huge opening surrounded by trees. I looked around for a bit, no road, or water just trees, 1 small shack, a screaming cow in the distance and some big power lines that i new had to go somewhere. I looted the house and followed the power lines for lord knows how long tell they finally lead me to a small mountain town tucked away in the middle of no where. i looked around the town and only found 2 dead zombies, a can of unknown food and a nice jacket. I started to walk out of town along a small road when i herd a really creepy laugh coming from the bushes, and then another behind me. I just about messed my self when i got jumped by 3 naked people cutting me with knifes and axes. Now i am here.

[@voiceoversmiff]

Great video mate! I enjoy playing (badly) and making content on dayz and it's refreshing to see someone with their own spin on it. Keep up the good work 👏

[@alanatgaq2484]

My partner loves this game and wants to play it with me, butI have a fear of zombies because my brain associates them with anxiety. Watching this has helped me get some courage 😅👌👌

[@camcantrun]

ONWARD CONQUERING ANXIETY

[@Brotatodude]

I’m very new to the game with about 2 to 5 hours on it an my tactic is to book it at the zombies to get the first blow on em. And thank you so much for this video it helped me a lot!

[@camcantrun]

Much love TNT, thanks for the view and I'm happy to hear it helped.

[@simonbailey6492]

I havnt gamed since years ago, but DayZ really got my interest, thanks for this. Its made it more than tempting to play again, and just while away the hours instead of pointless TV or Netflix. Kudos for the vid, its a great learning curve for the uninitiated

[@bradleyborrowman2115]

Whether that was a pet or a child the way you spoke to them was extremely wholesome 🥹

[@RM-qw2rw]

I bought this game because of The Running Manz but I'm surviving longer because of Cam Cant Run. Keep up the great work

[@yeetoskeetoz2683]

These are some great tips! I've got 1600 hours and what I like to do is be as resourceful as possible. Take everything I find. If I change shirts I keep my old one to tear into rags that I may need. I only get rid of things if I no longer need them, find something better, OR find what I've been gathering supplies to craft.
