Intermediate Surviual Guide to DayZ | Tips & Tricks for Looting, Hunting, Cooking, and Stashes!

[@MainlyYeezy]

10hrs into playing DayZ on PS5 & I've finally learned how to make a fire & start it with tree bark. Craft a fishing pole, chicken bone hook & cook fish on a stick. Stealth kill zombies, craft stone knives, sneak past gun happy players. An finally met another human that didn't beat me to death immediately. I'm starting to see that I'm going to get lost in this game. GG's everyone

I'm not sure if this was implemented at the time of making this video, but there is a benefit to smoking or boiling food over baking it. Smoked food will last much longer in your inventory and even longer than that in storage. Veggies/fruits can even last indefinitely in storage if smoked. It's great for making stockpiles of food, but at the same time consuming smoked foods will not yield any hydration whatsoever while on the opposite end, boiled foods will yield more hydration but won't even last as long as baked foods and simply serves as being a way to achieve both hydration and nutrition quickly and simultaneously.

[@edmartin875]

Baked food has the most calories.

[@somedude1015]

All of my dayz console runs I only hunt and fish for food and hide in tents from rain next to a fireplace, this is the best way to play the game and also try and craft most of your stuff. This is the way to play dayz and not rely on canned foods because that's boring

[@DjinnsĘnigma]

Fill up on food and water first, don't worry about loot other then survival and clothing related. Once that's sorted, make hunting stand runs for the warmest clothing in the game. Then worry about the gear you'll miss. This will increase your survivability, minimize your populated area exposure, and reduce your visual footprint.

[@bwad99]

Is food and water not survival? 🤣🤠 keep in mind that being this specific about what to loot for first will make you miss a lot of stuff along the way. Think about how you loot a town in dayz. Loot from house to house, from one key building to another, and as you go-- pick up stuff you know is important down the line. Much easier for brand new players to grasp, especially once they learn what they specifically will need.

[@DjinnsĘnigma]

@@bwad99 food and water is not gear, it is essentials. What I mean about survival related loot is a knife, can opener, a weapon to defend against at the very least zombies, water tabs, rags, iodine, ect. I've found most death comes from the city, so it's good to know when you're good enough to get out of town.

[@bwad99]

@@DjinnsĘnigma Gotcha dude, I misinterpreted that. Dying does often occur in the city, but sometimes taking the time to loot a little for a few things to get you going can make a big difference in terms of your long term survival.

[@fudomyoo9762]

I always starve to death but my last play I got creative and I’m still alive and fed. I was in a hospital starving looking for beans and I opened a door and a guy behind it swung an axe at me. I had 1 shot in my 12 gauge that I put in his chest and he ran off. I chased him down and beat him to death. First I turned his bones into a knife and then scraped bark off a tree and got a stick. Then I turned another bone into a hook and his guts into a rope. I went fishing and ate a mackerel even though I was planning on having to eat him 🤣 I turned this guy into a fishing pole literally 😂

[@strappedwithkrylon]

I was under the impression that the Pioneer only spawns at police car crashes and the prison which on Chernarus+ would be Prison Island, not at actual police stations. I could be wrong though. Personally I would say, forget all about tents. They take up a lot of inventory space when you're hauling them to your prefered location, they are difficult to find, they don't blend into the environment half as much as the improvised stick shelters do. Sure, they do seem to have ample space (but in reality they don't - see below) - but they're also a pain to place on the map, cause more often than not - it's impossible to place them where you want them, despite it not being in a slope or having trees or stumps where you want to place it. The improvised stick shelters has half the storage capacity - sure, but you can place four wooden crate in each improvised stick shelter (you can place two in the apse of the medium tent). So, in total an improvised stick shelter gets: 100+50+50+50+50 = 300 and a medium tent: 200+50+50 = 300. So, in my opinion stick shelters are better, because they blend better with the environment, are a lot easier to make/you don't have to haul it across the map. To each their own though, if tents work for you - go for it.

[@bwad99]

Pioneer has a very slight chance to spawn at PDs themselves. But yes, it's more common to find them at crashes or prison spawns. As far as your shelter method: that's extremely smart to do, but it's also very inefficient in terms of sorting through your stuff (I was also under the impression that they removed storage stacking like that, but if this works then it works I guess). You'd have to take out a crate and loot the crate or cycle through them all trying to find what you need. But I do agree tents are a hassle. I only offered it as an option because it's something you can try and see what you like better.

[@Alex-rn8vu]

Sadly I've finally gotten to the point I survive for hours to days, then I eventually let my guard down and someone runs up on me while I'm eating or something, and mows me down, fresh spawn or not, doesn't help that lately ive found farming a better source of food until you start hunting Also, great video, thanks for even going into protection stats on vests, that level of detail versus "plate carrier is better than stab vest" is what I think alot of us really want

[@bwad99]

That's usually how it goes. You can't ever l;et your guard down, but I fall into that same cycle lol. But thanks dude! The more advanced statistics and stuff isn't really my thing, but I thought it was especially useful to help explain the pros and cons of each vest.

[@Alex-rn8vu]

It is a vicious cycle lol, and thank you! The advanced statistics aren't really anyone's thing, hense why it usually falls to a select few, but it's good to have clarification on the vests, for most people they act like there are only the stab vest and plate carrier

smoked meat is more durable and will stay fresh for much much longer, although it gives you less hydration. I smoke 2/3 of the meat because it doesn't go bad for literally days. it's basically jerky.

[@bwad99]

It also loses caloric value. This is a fair method. But I find it more efficient to bake my food and eat it all (or most) to save room for other items. You're gonna burn the energy off either way, might as well fill up and save space!

i really think there should be skills or crafting objects ie weapons, only there for players who have survived for a long time ,even like a perk system with tac sprint and advanced sniping or crafting skills all based on how long you survive so it makes a player that lives a long time in this world the top thing to seek not just loot kill die repeat . thoughts ?

[@bwad99]

I think a perk system would take DayZ in a much different direction than it's going, and not necessarily in a good way. I just don't see that as a fit for a game that is aiming to he hardcore survival. However, I do think that you should be rewarded for living longer. In the PC winter maps, the longer you live, the higher your cold resistance is-- some added things like that would help reward players for living longer. You could also maybe add chances for crafting to fail or you "mess up" bc you're inexperienced (aka fresh spawn) and you get a badly damaged or damaged product. There's definitely something they could do to accomplish what you're wanting!

Actually Boiling your food is your best shot because it provides thirst and hunger unlike baking it where it only provides hunger

[@bwad99]

No. It provides calories and hydration anyway, but boiling it adds more to the hydration value. Baking significantly adds to the calorie intake. The point of eating is to fill your stomach, getting water intake with it is nice but it's so easy to fill up completely at a well that boiling is a waste.

Is hunting and fishing just in Livonia dlc or or dayz (I'm asking bc i was in a forest trying to hunt and there was nothing) and I don't know where to find game that's why

[@edmartin875]

To my knowledge hunting and fishing is a DayZ wide activity. Look for deer inside the forest semi-near the edge. Crouch and slowly sneak. Listen for them. Stay calm and aim for head shots. If your deer turns out to be a bear, escape while you can. If you hear wolves, (they can be anywhere) they are hunting someone, maybe you. If it is you, try your best to kill them all. If you manage that then butcher them like any other animal, you can eat them and everything like any other animal you kill. If you hunt for livestock (pigs, sheep, goats, cows), they are usually found in open fields near farms and sometimes near towns. Hunt like they were deer. Don't try to run them down. They are faster than you. Inside the edge of town, you can sometimes hear chickens. Follow the sound until you can see them. They can be killed with melee weapons or even two hits from a fist. Fish can be caught from any standing water. They can be caught any time of day in any kind of weather. Best fishing time is early morning and evening. In fresh water they will be carp, in salt water they will be mackerel. Both are good eating after they are cooked.

[@gabrielgibson1680]

Filled up on food and water ? More like 20 minute cycles of frantically searching entire neighborhoods to find a single can of baked beans.

Diseases are the number one enemy of the newbie Dayz player.

Try not to be predictable in your movement. Zig-zag a lot with different size zig and zags. Never stop moving when on the street or in the open. Watch videos on how the pros do it when meeting a random person. Keep looking all around to see if someone is trying to get behind you. If you have to stop, try to do it with concealment at least, cover at best. Hillsides near a town is sniper heaven.

[@Isaiah2Times]

It’s hard to fine guns, and food. I wish there were more cars on the streets to drive. And I’m hella lost annoying…

[@bwad99]

This is a survival game, not gta lol

[@bobbyhillthe3rd]

I play on a server that is basically vanilla and 1P. How long will a stash tent last before it disappears as I would like to use one as my forever base in the woods

[@bwad99]

Typically I think tents are persistent for up to 45 days IRL before they despawn (if untouched).

Ppl crafting tents after watching these videos not knowing and not told how long improvise tents last before their tents disappear 😆 and ALL their loot is gone!...a hard lesson

[@bwad99]

I thought I mentioned how long they lasted but maybe not. Either way, shouldn't get attached to the loot in the first place 🤷‍♂️

I'm new to dayz. Got about 100 hours in so far. I l've been on official servers only. I've been all over the map and havn't seen 90% of relatively supposedly common things. No m4's, or any AR rifles except sks. Very very little loot. I even tried loot cycling, and only got ammo or welding hoods to spawn in a tier 3 army camp. Wtf am i doing wrong? Love the game, but damn. And I play at night on EU servers bc I work night shift in the middle east. At 4am some servers have like 2 people in it, so it's not "too many players." Are they hoarding loot or what?

[@spatrk6634]

its looted yes. people are hoarding loot yes. loot spawns on official server is very slow

[@AbenteuerSchatzsuche]

4:22 We playing dayz again since some month now and no matter which server we joined (mostly playing vanilla OR slightly modded servers) we NEVER found a "standard" medium tent .... where the fuck do they spawn now ?!

[@bwad99]

I've seen them in civilian grade industrial buildings and sometimes warehouses. They're quite uncommon🤠

[@AbenteuerSchatzsuche]

@@bwad99 thank you, i will Keep my eyes open , its sad they dont spawn in the ghetto buildings anymore like they used to some years ago up North in novaya petrovka

[@bwad99]

@@AbenteuerSchatzsuche no problem! And dude me too. In vanilla atm, those buildings spawn nothing which is pointless. There's so many of them and they're essentially useless. They need to be part of the loot economy!

Liked the vid couldn't leave the like cus the only info that I needed you just skipped how long does barried itens last?

I didn't skip it lol. I touched on the fact that there are time-frames for all player built/placed items but I varies on the server. Sorry if it wasn't direct enough🤷‍♂️🤠 Happy Holidays.

my question is how do we find our stash,iam still having a lot of trouble understanding where iam am

I wish they added certain preload of firearms. This way no spawning of weapons. First come first served.

What about the rectangular stoves in houses with the little doors? How do those work ??

[@bwad99]

Same as a the big fireplaces. Open up the little door and place the fire materials inside.

Great stuff ,subbed .Btw is the nail bat still in the game?I've made the barbed wire bat but not the nailed

I have this sudden urge to build a cool looking fort in the woods in DayZ, and then store all the good loot buried nearby and then do roleplayer shit in my fort. If someone raids me they’ll get maybe some food and what I have on me

Nice dude. Go for it. Dayz has endless possibilities👍

is there a server where no one kills each other.. but goes on hunting sprees for food just to survive.

There is for sure. Look for PVE servers.

A community should be treated as a community. It's not a "This is my channel and I do only what I want" kind of thing here. I am and always will be open to suggestions, feedback, and discussion! I know how cool it feels to be involved and felt included in a community online, so I want to give that back to others. much love dude. Thanks for the support :)
