Finally a beginner video that actually shows you the basics of the game. Idk how many I've watched that just assume brand new people just know how to craft knives, start fires, make rags, etc.
I'm just happy I finally found melee weapon... Granted I dropped it without knowing and lost it... Also just made amazing discovery of bushes you can harvest
Put a crazy amount of effort into this - bravo! If you're new and reading this, you're going to die A TON and might quit from frustration. Watching this guide will help you die a lot less and hopefully not quit before this game gets really good!
Stab West are best against low caliber weapons like 919 and 380 But stand No chance against 308 or 762 But i agree Its better than nothing it might give you a small chance
Brilliant tutorial for beginners! Got a sub from me! Just fyi, you CAN eat rotten fruit and veg. You just have to eat it slowly, a few bites at at time. You then wait for the food arrow to point back down and then eat another few bites and you won't get sick. It's great when food is very scarce.
Very good guide! I just re-installed after not playing for years. Am really enjoying the survival aspect now, it feels like a much more rounded game. Thanks for the great guide
hey man love this video and your content in general, great stuff keep it up!! ps: the "dayz language or european" as you called it ^^ is cyrillic, russians and some other countries use it have a good one
Pro pump shotgun tip: you can load shot and slugs sequentially to have a shot and slug combo during a gunfight- works with break actions too so you can have one longer range shot and one close range shot in urban areas
You deserve a subscribe with how detailed you made the guide. Just started playing DayZ and 13 hours in. Accidentally ate the wrong fat and got crazy. Thank you so much for this guide
Tip always scout and wait for about 3 to 5 minuts before going into a town to avoid getting shot or sniped Second tip dont walk on roads walk in the tre Line besides about 30meters if possible And wear warm boring dark or camo clothes if possible dont carry to much items that you are too heavy
I have a few hundred hours and learned most of the tips through playing, never worked out adjusting a scope though so big thanks. Entertaining vid too.
it's like that in almost any survival game tho tbf. i mostly play rust and it's AWFUL on there, people sitting up on the roof of their base, safe in their compound, roofcamping people, and when they kill them, putting their gear away to come loot fully naked. its pixels, i don't understand why people care so much💀
The "DayZ Language" is the language of Russia and in English is called Cyrillic. It also has a few extra letters {like 6 or 7 extra) in the Cyrillic alphabet than in the English alphabet. When I learned it 56 years ago, the "y" in Cyrillic was pronounced like a long (or hard) "e" or soft "a", depending on your American accent. Fantastic video, as per usual. Excellent learning experience due to an excellent teacher. I never knew the difference between light and dark bark. Now I know I can't make a fire drill with light bark. I knew a press vest was better than a stab vest and a plate carrier was best of all but didn't know the degree of the difference between them. But then, when I get surprised with that "You Are Dead", I always assume I got shot in the head. I really shouldn't be playing a shoot-em-up game because I have seen some really good snipers in this game and me and my Xbox can't shoot worth a hoot.
Ps one of the best dayz training videos ive seen. ..and ive watched a ton. Did this video cover fixing things with sewing kits,duct tape etc? Sharpening knives, axes with a sharpening stone? So many things to learn . Watch your back and be sneaky is top 3
Do you use standard keybindings? I am having so many issues with weapon handling in particular. Like there's three ways to goto ADS?: -Short right-click. -Press shift while long-pressing right-mouse. -Press middle-mouse while long-pressing right-mouse. I mess things up all the time cause it starts conflicting. Super unintuitive.
Hello again! The only time you really wanna tap right click is when you are sniping. Other than that, IMO you should always hold right click for hip, and use shift afterwards. If that doesn't clear it up let me know :)
@@camcantrun It obviously works well for you, but I could not get used to it. And shift seems like a waste of keys to go to ADS as you can already do the same thing with the zoom key. So I changed shift to hold breath and rebound middle mouse to a side-button of my mouse. It's still not ideal, but for some reason zoom can't be rebound to become hold breath while in ADS. It's hardcoded to go into ADS while in hipfire.
Military locations are in most cases KOS and I wouldn't ever try to make friends there. Everywhere else I try to help out other survivors as much as possible. One of my favorite things to do is surprise fresh spawns by giving them things like an M4, Aug, etc. Be sure to give unloaded though. Never trust anyone.
The part with the object spawner absolutely killed me 😂😂😂 best part of the video hands down But honestly, thank you. I have >100 hours and your 2 hour long beginners videos have given me ALOT of information, and helped me realize a LOT of mistakes I was making that led to my death. The infinite block from zombie attacks will be extremely helpful, as I typically avoid zombies whenever I see them if I can help it, but that’ll definitely be changing soon.
Hhahah, yeah, I was fishing for around five minutes.... and I said, I AINT GOT TIME FOR THIS SHIIIIIIIT!!! :) Happy to hear it helped! A good way to think of zombies is a risk and reward of HP for LOOT. They are ultimately all like their own individual house ;) Good luck out there!
@@camcantrun yeah I can imagine fishing being a pain in the ass haha And I think I will have to adapt that mindset. I had a similar issue with Escape From Tarkov, until I got over my fear of losing loot, and after that I began playing much better before the bugs in the game turned me off of playing it. I will have to adopt a similar approach to this game, otherwise I probably won’t have a good time playing. Thanks again for these videos, I look forward to checking out more of your content 😁
Heres another useful tip: When you make a fire in a house smoke will come out of the chimney of the house , so if players see the smoke they will know there is someone in that house. (You are most likely going to die)
Just discovered you! Honestly, fav DayZ youtuber so far! I also just picked up the game after a long time of not playing and thank you for brushing up on my muscle memory!
The one thing I don't agree with in this video is cooking over smoking, I always smoke my meat due to it never going rotten. I never run out of water, getting to a well is so easy that I don't even drink from my bottle until I'm at a well. So personally, I value dried but lasting meat over the hydration stat. Amazing video chief!
*To spare an extra move you don’t have to change the knife in your hands when holding the can of food. You can also combine the can in hands with for example a knife in your inventory. *Also good to mention, a head strap or a head torch goes into the slot of your eyes as well. Since nights are very dark and a head torch is a great add on. *The infected on the coast are stronger then the infected in land as well. Keep that in mind when fighting them as a fresh spawn. As well fire fighters, Police, military and hunter infected are even stronger and have more health then say the runners do. If you go inland the “civilians” infected strength goes down. *I have tested the rotten food and TRMZ has done it and is doing the same thing. You can eat a rotten piece of fruit or veggie as long as you eat just one every 30-45 minutes and eat it with 3-5 bites per time (like you would with an unknown food can) and wait for the arrows to go down before you take another 3-5 bites. Then you won’t get sick. As a 6000hr DayZ player you should know this! *Buildings/sheds/scaffolding’s surrounding police/medical and those type of buildings drop the same loot as well. Most players skip these and just go to the main building to loot. Especially in spawn town. *The accident encounter right before your restart isn’t a static spawn like you said, it’s an dynamic car accident spawn that spawn in or doesn’t spawn in (hence the disappearing of the spawn after the reset). And most of these have police infected/vehicles and or fire fighter infected/vehicles as well as the same loot. *You can drink 1 full bottle and a half total without vomiting as a fresh spawn and/or when you need water even though the stomach symbol shows up a little before that. *You can also boil dirty water when you have found a gas stove to purify it to drink it. *You can also disinfect a bandana found in the world, say you get a cold and you’re wearing one you will keep getting sick if you don’t disinfect it. *The IV kit you can combine with the blood bag as well. And the bag it works as a cure for the gas sickness as long as you’re stage 1 and you got the blood before you got sick. *Charcoal is very important, it fills up your gas mask filter and it cures food poisoning. So it is NOT not important. *The codeine pill only makes your character not complain when in pain (so no grunts and hurt noises) and the morphine injector (NOT the codeine pills) makes it so that it looks like your health is white so you’re able to run for only one minute as you were in the white. *The timer on the epi pen is also one minute. *If you have bloody hands and you put gloves on while they are still bloody you can eat without getting sick with the gloves on. *If you DON’T have a knife you CAN’T skin a creature to get bones to make a knife if you haven’t found one like you say. *With the rope you can make an rope belt that will take only one knife and will safe you a couple extra slots until you’ll find better. *Light bark also works as kindling!!! That’s some bs it doesn’t. *A light bulb for a car also comes in a box and can give a piece of paper for kindling. *Light blue temp also matters because if you are light blue for too long you can catch a cold. A multi vitamin can help you with this. *The cooked/heated food that you keep in your backpack also makes your temp go up or if you are sitting on it or are crouched above them when cooking will also heat you up. *You need a sharp object to dig up worms you can’t just dig up worms. *NBC gear also spawn at fire stations, heli crash spawns, convoy spawns and at the big cargo plane on North West Airfield. *Heli’s have a chance that there is also no guns when they land. *Press vests can also spawn in police stations and/or dynamic car accidents. *Don’t forget that the higher tier armor you have on the more stamina it will take from you. *Your gun and mag can be pristine but if your bullets are damaged or worse you can also jam your gun.
Thanks for the guide brother. I finally decided to give Day z a go recently and its been pretty fun depending on the server. I feel like people are too quick to kill though. Some of the best runs ive had were with some friendlies. Eventually the friendship falls appart but thats what makes it fun. You have to keep your eye on friendlies at all times and know when to take them out.
One tip i NEVER see, you can take out hordes by punching through windows or if their arm is sticking through the door. No more being trapped or fighting ten zombies off lol. I run around and get them chasing me. I'll run in, close a door and take my time making them line up. Just go left or right to get them to move. They'll stand right in the window while you punch them. Good for clearing areas to loot in peace.
Made a friend, we ran for two hours, talking about what we do and where were from, we navigate thru towns and military bases. By this time we both have a decent starter kit with some weapons. We loot another base and in the last barrack we loot, he aims his mosin at me with the only shot he has for it because i gave it to him, and he kills me. I dont think ill be making new friends anytime soon.
Dude awesome video!!! This helped me so much thank you .. one thing are you sure about the light vs. dark bark thing ?? Until now I had never discriminated against the barks , and I have NEVER not been able to make a hand drill/fire/ or any of that stuff . Maybe I've just gotten lucky and hit dark everytime, not sure , anyway, awesome video thank you sir!!!
I find going more inland you have a better chance finding loot because the towns close to spawns will almost always have nothing. That's from my experience anyways.
Ok whow. A real beginner video starting from the basics. Didnt know that you can block forever without getting damage. Thought blocking still hurt you. Shit, I sub because after listenning all your NOOD VIDEOS, I'm gonna be , little better then yesterday. Thank you for doing this. Question please : dark bark vs light bark??? On internet light bark or dark no difference. Did I miss something?
Just started dayz like 2 days ago I like it and I died for the first time with a lot of stuff on me and it's so hard not to get discouraged and Uninstall the game. At least my friend got my stuff and I gotta re try again today. But that's the game you are going to die
You actually can craft the drill kit with light bark now as well. It was an older version of DAYZ and I was mistaken. Also, lightbark can be used in TANNING for leather. And to make Chess Pieces in modded versions of the game. All the best!
you found a shirt,suddenly you weren't dying of thirst............odd then you continue on,you are even less thirsty but didnt drink INCLUDE EVERYTHING
So, i want to get back to this game after a long long off time. And i feel a bit overwhelmed. Already have the dayzsalauncher but i have a question. Which server would you recommend? I tend to stay off from tooo... whacky experiences. So something close to vanilla. Also, would be nice if there would be active admins. Not dying to people praying on newbs would be a plus xD. Any tips?
Hey my friend, jump in the discord we have an entire channel focused on what you're suggesting. As a brand new player I always recommend 1PP official but if you want lightly modded there are plenty of suggestions in there. All love.
Great content but finding things are so darn random. I've been playing for 2 weeks now and today was the first time I've come across a backpack and it was on a z so I had to kill him and take it. Also, I'm on PS4 and holy moly the controls stink. It takes forever to move things. Hardest thing for me to find every time is a knife, they are impossible to find. The other thing I find annoying is when I die and go into a new game I constantly get dropped in the middle of a field with nothing around me. I have to find a road and randomly pick a direction and just job for miles to find anything.
Hi there TONY, I made a great video for what I think you need called "How to Have a Perfect Start in DayZ" (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ag2IcHNZQwo.html) this will hopefully give you the tools to have a start that puts you into a place where you can survive and also answers pretty much every question (beyond the console controls) that you asked above. Let me know if you need any help my friend!
Thanks for the vid! Great info. I am thinking of starting DayZ but it has to be Xbox series X because I only got a shitty laptop. Is it worth it on console or should I buy a better PC 😅
Love your guides, very informative. Can you explain how do characters and servers work? Is a character always created for a different server? Because sometimes I spawn in a middle of a forest with a character, then leave, and on a different server with the same character I spawn in a city. Also I want to delete a character so I join a server with it die with it and exit, but for some reason the character stays on the screen.
On offical servers they are all part of the same HIVE (is what they call is) which essentially means your characters will load into those other OFFICIAL servers with a character from a different server entirely. In addition when loading into a NEW server, you will be placed randomly to avoid something called ghosting, where you load in behind someone.
Been trying to play this game as a new player because it looks so fun, but every time i spawn the coastline is full of geared players that just kill new player's straight away, or if I'm lucky enough to run away every single building along the coast and even inland has been completely cleaned out of literally everything. Like i can run inland for an hour searching every building on the way and find absolutely nothing. Plus all the servers have terribkd ping, i don't really know what to do anymore 😢, any tips?
One stupid question, how on gods green earth do i do an power Punch, the botton in the settings doesnt work and so does every other botton on that damn keyboard😩
@@camcantrun Who would think of that, in the settings it says F, so i hold right click and pressed F and everyone other button aswell, thanks haha ima try it later, iam new too pc dayz and that shit is confusing af
You can use water with meat and it will be boiled You can have no water and meat it becomes baked(add fat if you have) You can dry the meat to make it last longer as long as its not 100c or above
