Beginners Guide to DayZ - Survival, Medical, & Interactions 

Encountered a new player yesterday and actually tried having an interaction. Gave him food, soda, a can opener and pointed him towards the nearest town. Felt good...then I realized I had pointed him towards the small base I had just raided where I replaced all the water bottles with gasoline...pretty sure I sent him on his way to find that and get poisoned. RIP poor new player I wanted to help!

I have only ever played the Arma 2 Mod version of this game (installing DayZ now), but man the best times were getting a bus/pickup truck, fixing it up and then collecting newly spawned players on the beach and raiding all the major loot areas. There is nothing quite like spending 4+ hours driving around a bus looting airfields with a bunch of people and having a laugh while doing it. Definately the best times in DayZ. Hope to recreate that sometime.

It's truly a unique game. The only game that gets my heart racing.

I love how you explain the magic of dayz at the end of the video. Thank you for encouraging players to look at this game differently rather than kill everyone I see and loot their bodies for what I need like I’m playing pubg. I’ve had so many fun encounters in this Janky glitched game.

And that's what new players need, quick guide for start play and have fun! God job Ish!

i just wish console dayz was on par with PC

I don’t even need to watch beginner guides but I still enjoy watching them.

Going from a noob to somewhat experienced, seeing a new player is always a new experience.

''Stealing Blood in Livonia'' One of my favorite Episodes. Just totally Ish's DayZ CrayZ Characters. I also loved the Chernaraus Guided Tour along the Coast That was Funny as fook.

This is very helpful Most tutorials are extended for too long but this just gets straight to the point.

As a guy that spent most of my DayZ time in the Arma2 mod right after release, this is very good info for Standalone.

I knew right in the beginning of your vid that I would learn something new about this game. Thank you for the tips about objectives in Dayz Ish. I will definitely try them

It sucks that Dayz Came to Gamepass right after I bought it, but I do not regret it at all do you think you could make a Video with all the useful crafting recipes

This game is amazing but it really gets on your nerves when u die to a glitch

Played the DAYZ for the first time this past weekend. (free weekend on Steam). I've only played a few survival games in the past and almost exclusively on PS4. …. sooo I basically played all weekend and bought it Monday. I already know I'm going to dump endless hrs into the game. I played all weekend without watching any guides or learning anything except thru gameplay experience. Now that I feel I got some of the basics down, I'm going to watch some vids and actually learn about the game and features. So thanks for the guides & tutorials! Last thing, I'll share an early introduction to DAYZ experience - All weekend I didn't have more than a few hand waves interactions and 1 guy who never said or did anything other than follow me around until he died... Monday, one of my first spawns (maybe the first) after actually buying DAYZ, I spawned at night with nothing more than a glow stick, plum and rags but I was near some houses, so ran and tried to loot the few houses in the dark- didn't find much and decided I'd try to hole up until I could see a little (if I didn't freeze first). A player saw the light, came to the house and asked me if I needed any food or help. … I was like wow, wtf? Is the guy going to try and kill me? (I did have 1 interaction like that on the weekend too) But he gave me food, we traveled around for a while, showed me how to make fire and some other tips! It was very cool. It all ended well. I will say, he mentioned the cannibalism thing and ran me around in a big circle until I died … so he may have eaten me, I don't know. But hey it was a learning experience none-the-less :) AWESOME GAME!!

I honestly just think the suicide feature is awesome

Thanks for the video, I’m new to dayz, about 2 weeks now , you give me hope that I can enjoy this game for awhile !

This video completely changed my view on dayz. Every spawn is a new adventure. Thank you sir

The tip on getting stones to make a knife is a life saver. honestly have such a hard time finding tools and starve to death every hour.

Looted for 4 hours just to get killed by someone waiting for my loud ass around a corner. Dude literally didnt move an inch while I went from top to bottom of the building. I was cheesed but hey, I get to do it all over again.

Ish, this has been super super helpful! After many months of watching DayZ I finally bit the bullet (so to speak) and bought the game. Been playing for two days straight, but kept dying from starvation. Remembered you mentioned this vid in one of your streams so came here for your help. I'm sure after watching this that my DayZ experience will be much much better, so thank you

Encountered a new player yesterday after just starting to get on my feet, I had a field vest, hunting jacket, pants, and a decent backpack. I also had some extra food and water. I helped the new player who said he was starving, gave him some water and food. He didn't know how to get to Cherno so i showed him. While looting around with him i found a sledgehammer and gave it to him so he had a weapon, This entire interaction lasted an hour. Its at this point we wanted to walk to Electro, and it was also at this time i started having trouble hearing him in game because of my discord. I told him "One second man, i have to tab out and mute discord I'm having trouble hearing you". When i tabbed back into the game that guy i helped had killed me with the sledgehammer i gave him and took all of my stuff, Ahh welcome to DayZ....

Love your description of DayZ... It really isn't all about the firefight... a lot of people play it strictly as a pvp "battle royal" style game and it's really not that... there is so much more depth to it than that... Although, I hate it now that it's been put up on gamepass... all the servers are full, with 100+ player wait times and the only ones that aren't completely full are the community pvp servers... where it's just like one big game of fortnite... it's ruining an already broken game... but I suppose I still love it... just hope it gets removed from gamepass soon :/

This guide just helped me survive my first cannibal encounter and defend my now prosperous beach home. Thanks! :D

Just got the game a couple days ago. It's challenging without a goal for sure but if you're playing on a high player count server people will always be entertaining haha. Mostly just hanging out sometimes. Brawling. Music. It's definitely a good time.

I already know all this, but just here to listen to Ish's dolcit Tones. Thanks as Always Ish. Much Love man.

I’ve had the game in my steam library for about a year now. I’m starting to play it now. I can’t believe I ignore this game for so long. Thanks for the guide.

Wow, this game goes much farther in depth than I initially thought! I remember the farthest I got on my own was a few guns and a hatchet, and I died because I lost all my health from a fight with a zombie trying to get food.. Love how dying can even be exhilarating, huddled up next to a burning furnace hoping that my health regenerates and I don’t bleed out. Thanks for the info!

I downloaded this last night and was a little discouraged but after seeing this it helped me so much. Thank you!

Played this game for 6+ years, and still watched this video just because who doesn't love Ish! HELLOOOOO AND WELCOME!

Another banger video . Keep up the good work man . 👍

So at the time of this video you have 15000 subs !!! Well look where you are now ! I'm proud of you.

That Las shotty sluggo was sick man!! Gratz 🔥

I play the Livonia map mainly, enjoy the exploration and the fear as your heart pounds when you are at night and hear the wolfs, surviving the attack be it wildlife, player or a nbc strike and curing the illness even if you have to sell everything at a loss to get the cure, just go explore take more caution till you can gear up again... and when I do not have time to play i watch youtubers play and learn from their mistakes or actions

Spot on bud less than 300 hours here and this is dayz in a nutshell 👌

15K subs he says.... 2 months later and it's 24.4K subs. Keep up the great work buddy!

Bruh first game I ever played was amazing on DayZ. Met 2 dudes, one other noob and one pro. We made a fire and camped the night while eating fruits and cooked fishes one of them fished. The « trust no one » rule is bullshit imo.

Nicely done. It will help a lot of new players

i started playing yesterday and i’m trying to learn the game

Love the vids ish, keep it up bud!!

Thank you for the video. I’m new to the game and this helps.

Videos like these are so helpful to new players.

Ur the ish Ish! I've been playing dayz for about 3 months now n if it wasnt for ur videos id be complete shit at it. I stumbled across one of ur videos somehow n started watching then realized i had to go get the game. Now its my favorite game to play but just wanted to say thanks bro n keep it comin

I’ve only just started playing…… and love it. And love how quiet it is now days lol

Someone gave me cooked fat and I ate it but now my dude laughs like he’s crazy and twitches. Wouldn’t human fat be labeled “human fat”? I’m fully decked out and I don’t wanna lose my stuff and days of food/water but this laugh man....lmao

I'm still playing The Last of Us Ish. I'm dragging this short game out by playing every scenario numerous times to get the most of the gameplay. Love you man..

Awesome video. Just started playing three days ago and must say the player interactions part is spot on. I met some guy tonight on a PVE server I just joined today and we've been traveling together from the coast all the way north pretty much became travel friends after a few hours of traveling together.

Love it dude, thank you for incorporating the chlorine tabs and tera pills. NuclearTrump here.

Current character traveled half the map looking for a cure to cholera. It was fun having to jump from well to well sipping constantly, hoping to find the right meds. It made its own storyline lol. Now I'm cured and trying to figure out what's next 🤣 I'm a new player so still learning!

Perfect Video Thank You Ish keep up the great vidz bro

Very informative my guy nice video 👍

Great video ish, way to help out the new players👍

Hilarious video dude, love the RP possibilities here

Hey, very cool & simple video. I’m actually brand new to the game. I’ve seen some slightly cool things so far & the depth of detail hasn’t failed to amaze me yet. Hope you get the subscribers you deserve!

Great for all the newcomers! Well done bud 👏 Keep them coming 👌👍✌😉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I was playing on a "roleplay server" and wanted to make a peaceful farm to help people I found barrels and tents and I set them up In a field and next thing i know I'm being attacked again and again before they even talked to me I must've killed 20 people in 30 mins each one in self defense

Wow so I didn’t know some of this lol. Great flow bro in this video!

Well summarized AmishZed. I enjoy watching your twitch streams and TRMZ. With all the bugs, DayZ is still a very unique game and can be addictive. As a newbie, i had to do a lot of digging outside the game to learn crafting, weapon spawn points, base building and map locations. And till now I still find in difficult to identify where i spawn, but there are videos out there to help. But the discoveries and unpredictable new encounters along the way makes the game intriguing. I think the lack of scripting and no end game lets you make the game your own to create your story. It’s brilliant! I bought this game on PS4 after watching lots of videos from The RunningManZ, you, PolishedGuy, JLK and others. From watching, its clearer that the PS4 experience is not as polished and expansive as the PC Version. Why i need to get a decent PC.

For those who do not know, you can also open cans of food with shovels.

I really appreciate this I needed it congrats on 15k!!!

Thanks for the videos! As a complete newb to Dayz this has been very helpful and I feel a lot more confident about heading out on longer adventures!

Welcome new players remember come to vmc for a special ticket to the coast I can officially say only ogs remember the duct tape glitch

I just bought it cus my friend was trying to play and its a whole different experience its so fun and the sounds are amazing

I just got the game like a week ago, somehow made it to the airbase. Met a new player. Had a stand off but eventually trusted each other after talking. Then got attacked by 4 people in the air control tower. Died. He added me and now we play regularly together

Going to be binge watching these tutorials! Just started yesterday!

I reinstalled Dayz after not playing it since it first came out and I feel like my time playing rdr2 online has prepared me well for my journeys

143th comment you know that 143 years ago was 1875 did you know 1875 was a common year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar and a common year starting on Wednesday of the Julian calendar, the 1875th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 875th year of the 2nd millennium, the 75th year of the 19th century, and the 6th year of the 1870s decade. As of the start of 1875, the Gregorian calendar was 12 days ahead of the Julian calendar, which remained in localized use until 1923. well now you know =)

Great work dude

My first "encounter" that I survived was basically coming in the back end of a game 20 minutes before a server restart and literally coming up on no loot except for a motorcycle helmet apparently I had no chance of that changing everywhere I went had already been looted and the only constant was starter cloths that people had changed out of. I thought for a second I had come across another player I ran and hid just in case only to quickly realize it was a zombie and there were a few others around in close proximity which heard the commotion and came running. I ran and jumped on top of a car which was quickly surrounded by Zed as I looked around my high ground prison I knew I was stuck and then I began fantasizing a passer by either saving me or even putting me out of my misery the ladder began to seem just fine as time passed then I noticed that Zed had begun to sort of creat a path for me to run freely and possibly through enough obstacles I could get to safety with no time I jumped off the car and sprinted around through and over anything hopefully getting further and further as I came to a clearing just outside of town I finally decided to stop and see if my dinner hosts had indeed stopped following me or if I needed to figure something else out again and quick and there was nothing I was good. I ended up running through the forest where I broke a small tree to get my very first DayZ weapon... A log. I saw no one and I'm almost certain if anyone saw me they didn't follow me as fear of turning around turned into paranoia I was constantly checking my 6 😅👍 round 2 tonight boys

Yep, trust no one... but at first, extend some trust. Gave a guy a lift his past Saturday, wrecked my Gunther, then humped it to the coast at Solonichi to get picked up by my bud in a boat. We made our way up the coast north, and were almost at out first outpost on the server when he got real shady and we realized we were being followed by a huey. Later we had a little-bird hovering overhead in the darkness, so we lit a signal fire and tried to make friends. They buggered off after the 5min till server restart came up, and never came back. Maybe next time on HappyBombs Ish. ZER.

Great video bro!

Thank you so much this video was really helpful!

Coming back after a few years and just getting server choices was a chore. I Purchased new DLC and spawned in near Sobotka. It seems unchanged except for the map and the HUD at the lower right. Raining and cold so yea that works also.

Great video i am playing dayz for a year and you steal learned me somthing new(:

Hey man your videos are so helpful I’ve been playing this game for over a year yet you’re still teaching me shit lol

Thanks Man! Very useful video

i'm a returning player. i'm playing this game after 3 years now and its so much better rn

Glad I found the channel💪🏼

Great video, I’m a vet and this still tought me some tips😂

The interactions are soooo much better on PC.

You should probably link the guides you refer to on the description. Tbh it's kind of a hassle to look through all of your videos of I could just search for it on youtube again. I'ma go find em but just a recommendation. 🤗🤗

Thank you so much man, I really appreciate this.

The cult of Toby is the best!

Subscribed! Was looking into how to go abouts beginning much help! :)

Met a really cool dude on a high loot triple a server, guy gave me guns, medicine, food and water. Thank you random player

Just with this vid you got a new subscriber! Thanks Amish, appreciate the tips!

I die a LOT in this game so thank you Amish Zed for these tips! They’re really helpful

I started on console and quickly moved to PC because console was barely playable due to crazy lag everywhere, duping and just an overall toxic experience. On pc the duping is gone, the lag seems to only really happen near bases with lots of loot inside and as for the KoS/toxicity....I think it depends on the server. I find that most people are KoS unless you’re on a full on RP or organic RP server. Have I had interactions on regular servers, sure but those usually take place within the confines of safe zones where you can’t even raise your weapon. Occasionally I’ll run across someone who isn’t KoS but those convos are usually very short with not much more of a “hey, where you headed? Have you looted everything around here? Ok by thanks for being friendly” I’ve been on pc for over a year and have had a grand total of one adventure with another player I didn’t know and even that one started out with him KoS’ing me but then he felt bad and waited for me to run back to my gear. We then proceeded to go on a mini murder spree for about 20 minutes before we decided to kill ourselves.

This is an incredibly useful video! Thank you so much!

1:07 I don't remember what RU-vidr interacted with it, but he met a cult on modded server, where they forced him to drink gasoline.

And not forgetting ''Suicide Prevention'' ''Killing with Words'' episode. LOL

great video and well explained, I am new to this game and ready to see what this journey will bring. New sub btw

Player interaction is really hard on ps4 cus u have to switch it your game chat manually which leaves you to exposed it really limits player interaction

Inhale 600hours of dayz and this guide is awesome!

Thank you for the informative video 👍

One of the first times i played the game i had collected some decent loot, after killing a zombie a player appeared behind me, he had worse gear than me and he was friendly, so i formed a friendship with him and a few minutes later we were looting a house, he had a shovel and i found a bottle on the ground and drank the water only for my "friend" to turn around and kill me. No wonder i have trust issues playing games now.

I fount food in a building this one time, it was pretty cool

Omg after watching this I'm realizing how much there is to this game and I'm very overwhelmed. . I don't even know what buttons to press to do different actions or how to find any food/water/gear/guns. Every house I went into was ransacked and im like okay wtf do I do now?? . . I just bought this game the other day and I really don't want my 55 bucks to go to waste!! I have to learn this shit, I have to!! 😱

I've just got the game and I really like it

My buddy and I got trapped by cannibals the other day, we are brand new to the game and holy hell dude. We had to fight for our lives. We only had a pistol and a crow bar... we killed 3 of them and then the 4th shot us. :(
