15 Essential Items to LOOT in DayZ that Players Need to Know

[@SanguineSidriel]

Improvised fishing rods are still probably my favorite and most reliable mid-late game food source. Fish fillets from one fish can bring you from red flashing to white hunger.

[@Nitno]

Great thinking. Never underestimate the power of fishing!

[@JerZCobrA]

I use it in early game. Easiest way to clear the food problem for an entire lifetime

[@chrismclean599]

Bin playing four years never touched a finishing rod once

[@andrewhall5642]

Just four slots storage for the rope & a hook too, sticks are everywhere (except on ice sheets). If you want to carry it around, you can make the improv. rod with a sharpened stick, so you can fish, then break it down, cook, eat, and make rod again, repeat.

[@nickinderrieden7630]

Hunter set is also my favorite. The ONLY drawbacks are that it's a little heavy on the chest, and storage could be better in the pants. But the camo and warmth are S tier.

[@Nitno]

Yesss, Hunter is my go-to as well.

[@assbread5950]

tactical shirt/hiking jacket are identical in stats, and are the most lightweight chest piece with high insulation.

[@robmcdonald7074]

Thanks man, the tip about storing stuff in an item of clothing and carrying it in your hands is brilliant. Thank you!

[@Nitno]

Anytime! It's helped me in a pinch many times.

[@edmartin875]

At need just drop it and grab your weapon. Good idea to store your least important items there in case you lose it while defending yourself.

[@Fightingat40]

Torches dry you off faster than any fire, even faster than taking off your clothes next to it. Also a good way to get a heat buff while traveling

[@Nitno]

Torches are great now, good call

[@SanguineSidriel]

Learned something very new today

[@dominicpacey3546]

One of my favourites is the rope belt, make it from two stacks of rags and helps carry a knife plus the rope itself and doesn't require a knife sheath.

[@Nitno]

Excellent craft for sure.

[@andrewhall5642]

I only recently found out the small wrench can be used to chip stones off rocks, finally I have a use for it! Crowbar & pipe wrench work too.

[@Nitno]

Yesss!

[@kris33451]

small wrench can be used to open food cans chip rocks and for car parts

[@henrysfishy9279]

[@hotcoldman777]

Also: Tourist Map + GPS Tracker = OP for orientation

7:56 hunting camo is the second best thing to a ghillie suit, the American Bdu, American Apu, even some digital camos and the Russian combat uniforms are made so if you look at a soldier down a scope you won't see them and they will blend in with the environment on the horizon line. Military camouflage works at a distance but you will stick out like a sore thumb in cqb moments, stuff that happens in dayZ all the time. the hunting camouflage works because it blends in at a closer range and it was developed with hiding in bushes and hunting in mind. so you may have more space with military uniforms you can never go wrong with the camouflage of a hunters jacket and pants. just make sure you have a camo field vest or the russian camo plate carrier, but nothing beats a ghillie suit.

[@Nitno]

Excellent tips! Thanks for the comment!

[@edmartin875]

I've run across a ghillie suit. Do they have much carry space ?

[@toxinomic3713]

@@edmartin875 they dont have any space there just for camouflage

[@brochacho1001]

If you guys don't have a lighter or matches, you can also use a knife or axe to a tree and collect bark and then collect short sticks to make a hand drill kit which will also start a fire for you

[@Nitno]

Excellent comment, good tip for sure!

[@jpsplat]

Hello, one of my fav early loot tips is to find a spot where bambis unsatisfied with their spawns are yeeting themselves off of high ledges. A corpse has a lot of good stuff. Guts can make a rope, bones can make a knife or fishing hook, rags from clothes and fat makes a good torch. Human steaks are great for shenanigans too x)

[@Nitno]

Honestly a solid strat. Tons of rags too. Sometimes fruit!

[@coleacanth8944]

Storing a hot cooking pot that is empty, full of food, or full of boiled water is a good warmth trick and you can store non-urgent items inside it to save inventory space

[@Nitno]

[@simoncalderon2676]

I often share this video as a little help to my friend who are just starting dayz but I found a piece a advice I would share keep the bk double barrel until you find the two rifles you wanna keep on your back and then you can use a hacksaw to cut the gun down to a sort of shotgun and keep it in your backpack and it only takes up 10 slots and is a good weapon to keep in a pinch.

[@zhukel_marimasko]

speaking of rain and getting soaked..... is avoiding the rain a binary thing? Like are you either "outside, getting rained on" or "inside, safe from the rain", or is there a third option, like being under a tree outside?

[@Nitno]

Being under a tree does typically keep you dry. When there are heavy wind sometimes it won't.

Where do I find the black plate carrier at? Only finding the other ones..

[@Nitno]

[@survivalbert7017]

I don't like using hammers to chip off stones from a boulder because it will first create a large stone. You could break this into several smaller stones, but if the hammer is already damaged, it might already be ruined after chipping off the large stone. Therefore, I prefer other tools, such as a screwdriver or crowbar.

Good thinking for sure!

[@derstoffausdemderjoghurtis]

buy a headset and listen for animal calls while playing normally. Once you hear one always run straight towards the noise. When you come close enough to see them sprint crouched and once you come even closer don't sprint and only crouch. Then better land a good shot.

Hi I'm new to the game, great video. One think to add you can use the rope as a belt and turn back into rope as needed to save some space. Should i travel during rain? And have been trapped in a house surrounded by wolves 2x now, any advice?

[@Nitno]

Yep you can travel in rain, just try to dry off when the rain lets up. The wolf thing... it's tough without a firearm. But you could try fighting them from a doorway so it's only 1 at a time. Easier said than done.

[@edmartin875]

@@Nitno Hahahaha. Yes I do. The craziest adventures would never be believed. I always wish I had recorded my gameplay because the several near death experiences were incredible!! I was on Jurassic Island 2 being chased by 2 T-Rexes, a Gigarex, 3 or 4 Raptors, and half the runway of zombies. I ran into the sandbag bunker at the AF thinking I would run out the opposite side and a Raptor ran in the other side. Lol, I was trapped and this is where all hell broke loose. I used an M60 to shoot my way out!! One raptor down. Several zombies down. When I exited I was in the thick of shit and had nowhere to run but straight across into the military tent!! I juked between a few zombies, and a T Rex and ran to the back of the tent. Focused the M60 on the only tent entry and kept firing until I was out of ammo!! The entry was piled up with death. Then while reloading, a T-Rex and Gigarex entered and when they stood up on their hind legs, I ran under them to the other side of the tent all while reloading another drum!! When reloaded, I started spraying and praying again and could not believe, I actually survived and came out to 3 or 5 other players saying "Dude you were screaming a bitch." Hahahah Imagine the enviornmental sound effects of 2 T-Rexes, a Gigarex, Raptoes, and all them zombies. They too could not believe what they just witnessed and how the hell I survived that onslaught!! But I did. Unfortunately, no video. That was just one of a few good stories!! And then there was our beingbtrapped in Orshka Prison with an onslaught of bears and Raptors everywhere!! It was the first time I heard my battle buddy of almost 4,000 hours say "I'm scared!!"

[@GR8WHITEC5]

@@thatwierdbilly Absolutely, yes!! One of the updates about 2 months ago left the Territory (Base) Flag corrupt and the asshat Server owner didn't tell anyone when they knew it was a known issue. I spent over a month building my base from the ground up. I always raise my flag at log in or log out, every day. One morning I logged on and went back to base to raise my flag (after 15 hours since last log out) and EVERYTHING was gone. It was a vacant piece of real estate. I was so pissed. I know it's a game. But to willfully avoid telling your Server player base there are issues with the Territory Flags and then say "Yeah, we been having issues with the flags" is 100% total horseshit. Especially for all the other new players who joined post update and built their base without warning. Some Servers are really great and it's the Admin or Owner who makes an otherwise great Server a shit Server. They have rules yet when rules are broken they are too pathetic to enforce their own rules. If it says "No building within 500m of military, hospital, or police station" and there is a base 200 meters away, they want you to report violations and I am thinking "Your stupid Admin approved it." *Which means, their own stupid Admin don't even know the rules. Along with annoying updates, this too made me stop playing for the past 2 months. Logged on yesterday for the first time since. It feels good to play again. But I found a Server where literally, I find more Codelocks than I do cans of food. Dumb. I have to circle one town over and over and over and over until I find at least 2 or 3 cans of food to make it to the next area. And there is no guarantee I find food their either. So I circle to in hopes to have enough food to survive locally and over rhe distance travelled. And even though I hear deer in the distance, you can't kill a deer with a knife or MKII. A waste of time. I've been on Servers where it was very balanced, but stupid shit Admin destroy morale messing with players or not enforcing their own rules. It's pathetic.
