How to have a Perfect Start in 2025 in DayZ - Beginners Guide

[@LoneWanderer0117]

Hey Cam. One day while playing chernarus I came across a guy in a shed holding a shotgun. I didn’t have a weapon, so as soon as I opened the door I ran to the side begging the man not to kill me. He spoke back to me and we decided we weren’t going to kill each other. We helped each other find a well and on the road out of the first town one of us asked who our favorite dayz youtuber is. Our friendship blossomed upon finding out we both shared crazy love for your channel. We’ve been on crazy ass adventures since, made insane memories. I just wanted to say thank you for what you do, and Mollyboy if you’re reading this what’s up homie

Wassup bro it’s Mollyboy 😊 cheers to many more amazing adventures!

[@squintsyadams8463]

Thank you! I bought DayZ two weeks ago because of streamers like you and I am very intimidated. I appreciate you taking the time to make this. Also the transition from beating that other freshie unconscious was excellent.

[@gavshan]

Did the same a few months ago for the same reason, just keep at it, it’s a great challenge each time!

@26:53 Walking like he got tossed out of the pub, but took the bottle with him. haha

[@nightcat87]

16:09 There was a Drinking Well about 200-400 feet straight forward from where you was at. Its a major important stop before going to the next town because there's not other one for awhile.

DayZ noob here (maybe 3 hours in the game) watched your videos for probably 3 weeks before deciding to give it a go, but now that I’ve started playing I’m using PVE community servers to learn the game is there anything else I can do to learn my basics (just learned how to reload mags) lol still trying to speed that process up but I’m on PS5 with a controller so it’s a little different.

[@Sean-sn9ld]

Perfect way to learn the game, that's how I started. Now I've got like 6k hours and eat people. Oh and on Xbox I was able to use a keyboard and mouse, hopefully PS5 is the same, it makes it a lot easier to play, and makes transitioning to PC later on a lot easier too ^^

[@jayred2908]

Add me if u want.if u need i'll sherpa u. Lmk

[@sebastiantaylor1932]

Personally, I learned in official PVP servers. I feel like they way better prepare you for the road ahead. Dying while you're trying to figure out new mechanics prepares you for when you're a day into a life and lose it all to a sniper.

I started playing on Xbox just before Thanksgiving, on an official low pop (when I play usually) server.. 8-12 people, currently logged off inside NWAF trying different high end guns I come across. Probably close to 50-60 hours in now.. Cams videos have helped me a ton, even talked my way out of getting murdered in a military tent this morning.. Loving this game so much more than Rust (which I was playing whenever I had free time before this)

[@DInozowa]

Pretty much, while on the PvE servers, learn the basic functions of things. like instead of making a base with the modded stuff, use the vanilla walls and gear and figure out how they work best.

[@RoninTattoosksr]

Always such a fan of ur content man!

[@Squirty44]

been watching your videos now that im getting back into Dayz and brother... lemme start by thanking you and how clutch your videos have been. I learned how to appreciate this complex game because of you so thanks man keep up the good work fam

[@jamesmcmahon7837]

Video last year got me started on DayZ . Loads of sound advice 🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@kiwiwiwipubg]

I started watching you after almost uninstalling DayZ (around 2-5h playtime) The game was extremely hard, but now it’s easier than ever and I have almost 200h now in 2 months

[@GregoryWatkins-gb1uy]

New guides for new updates in game are always useful. Nice work!

[@fabster3333]

Love your speed-runs Mr Mahogany. Always a treat. I have 130hrs and I treasure your vids. Thank you and happy holidays !!

[@antworkz]

yeeeeah, i need to kill 14 zombies, to get a food item, and another 74 zombies to get matches :D

[@FancyKoalawithhat]

Finally a good beginners guide. So many of them are staged/bad and assume u have 10000000 hours in the game.

[@kieranhaldane3182]

Just started playing , but your videos have helped me a lot mate and made it enjoyable cheers

[@bungholio6621]

I'm getting a computer soon and can't wait to play this game thanks for this guide. Couple things I was wondering is how often does loot respawn? When you put that guy's gear in the tree how long will it sit there before despawn? What is zombie spawn rate? How long will their corpse be on ground before despawn?

[@Frum5]

Wobo had videos covering all that. I think cam does too

[@jayred2908]

Just hooked up my pc. Thanks for the update, needed a tutorial for the basic controls even tho I've been on ps for 5 years 💀

[@chiefawsome1]

Lmfao 2 seconds and he’s already in a fight seems like a standard dayZ run fighting for your life off the very start of your spawn

[@vierbrandon]

Yo Cam do you have any full vanilla play throughs? Like from fresh start to 10 or 100 hours or something? Kinda like a "100 days in DayZ" video I think that would be a banger video for you

[@camcantrun]

Working on it for you broskie. Big love

Momma said these my magic shoes

[@ChaseW26]

How to have a perfect start- don’t drink dirty water like gambino

[@appelsap8219]

i dont kill often cause im actually shit at the game, needless to say ive just killed my 5th or 6th guy (in a firefight) in 50 hours, stalked him for 10 minutes before i could get a clean shot on him, maybe in another life we couldve been friends, but i needed the food he luckily was carrying around, this game just gives a different feel to killing, no points, no killstreaks, just..... death

[@BelligerentGamingOnline]

Lets gooooooo!!!!! 🤙

[@etem2006]

Could you do a Namalsk one? Particularly on a busy server? This seems impossible.

[@MartynStanleyAuthor]

Would carrying Gambino's backpack in your hands have helped him get to the medcentre?

[@Luke-nj8wu]

I currently have more watch time than playtime 😂 The controls are so clunky on xbox
