I have a few thousand hrs playing DatZ and I will say this is one of the best videos I've seen as far as explaining to new players as freshies getting off the coast. well done Keep up the great work! heck yeah I'll sub
@@Edge1775 he's going for it bro. He packed In his job to go fulltime streaming. Its his childhood dream. He's an honest dude. Great content especially for beginners. Easy to understand and simple.
Please make more walkthrough videos like this! A friend and I are just getting into the game and have only been playing for a few days, and these videos are really helpful. The hardest thing about the game for me is navigating the map and where to go to get the best loot, and also crafting. There are so many little details in the game that I would love to learn more about
Those "hardest thing"s will be your meat and potatoes once you get the hang of it. With some hard-won experience under your belt, you will be doing those things without really thinking about them. I figger I can do it in about 10 years of daily playing. (I'm old and can't remember my name sometimes, at least that is what my son, ol' Whats-his-name, tells me.)
One of the best ways to learn is to watch experience play and explain. And this right here is exact what you are doing, and I must say this one of the BEST videos I’ve ever seen. I just started playing yesterday. Yup I’m a late as hell newbie. But, I just got done playing about 3 hours without dying. The night time is where I get screwed.
Finding something to do while night passes is the best thing to try. Save meat for cooking, go fishing, organize your loot...etc Also, I appreciate the very kind words :)
Thanks, great videos man. Another thing is trying to get a feel as of where I’m at. I was actually at this exact town last night almost got the the exact load out as you too. I have IZurvive. But I still can’t get my bearings. Thanks.
As you pass landmarks and other recognizable features, check the map real quick. I'm told it's best if you have it on another monitor. Which for me would mean playing on Xbox and using PC monitor for the map. Not optimal for gameplay.@@TheLinkIsLost
I just started playing too. My last life, I was doing pretty good, didn't have much to worry about and was fixin to south to get some real gear. I had been logging out for night time, but I decided to stay in and wait out the sunrise for some immersion. I was gonna find a good, inconspicuous place to use my new gas stove to cook without being a huge glowing beacon. Fell out of the 2nd floor of one of those ruined stone houses in the dark, broke my leg and then got ate by wolves. 😂
This is one of the best How to Videos on Dayz. I started playing 2 weeks ago and in learning the map stage. So you actually showing the path and not cutting the looting helps alot, your verbal explanations are great help also.
I think watching the entire process is important for new players. Most guides that are similar usually just say "loot these POIs" but don't go over much else. So I thought a long form type of walk-through would be beneficial😁
You hit the nail on the head. Most are like "Hungry, kill a chicken, build a fire, cut up the chicken, cook the meat and craft a hook. Now you will never fear starving again. Oh, and by the way, don't forget to wash your hands."@@bwad99
I played this game originally back in around 2014 on a crappy laptop, am now diving in on XSX so it's been quite a difficult experience, these videos are better than lists of tips imo
Yeah, and I like how it is not a scripted lecture. It's more like a pro and a noob jogging along and the pro is sharing his knowledge as different things arise.
This has been an interesting experience. I've spent the last two hours watching your videos to school myself up before jumping in to finally play DayZ. I played a few hours before, but found it to be impenetrable and I just didn't have the time. I learned a lot here, most importantly that I shouldn't play DayZ.
Nice man, stored in my 'watch later' for future reference when I finally reinstall. It's so great to see how popular / health the game is now in 2022 - people making beginner vids in 2022 is testament to that.
TH-cam is throwing random stuff on everyone's recommended list and leaving it there for months at a time. Right now. there are at least a dozen videos on my list recommending various Balder's Gate 3 videos. I have never played BG, I have never watched a video of BG, and I don't intend to as that isn't my kind of game. But TH-cam is pushing the game. Makes me wonder who got paid off. TH-cam or some developer with the access to add a few lines of code to YT selection formula.@@masterson0713
Just returning after a long break, and honestly pretty new to the pc version in general. Thought I'd come check out some refresher vids, which you've helped me tons. I was getting towards the end of this vid, scrolled down to look for the next one for some pvp action thinking to myself.. there is no way he left us hanging like this and then... i hear "aaand I'm dead" lmfao very appropriate. Thanks for the crash course! Even a year later it's still coming in handy
You're an extremely good sport, after all of that work I would have lost my mind lol super helpful though, I think I'm gonna try it out. Thanks for the help!!
ok, Bwad99, i give you three thank you's,... was ready to see if i could get my money back, thought i was a dumb game. HOWEVER, I GOT A COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING NOW, good job explaining the premise, im now fascinated by it, new items keep showing up, found entire fly rod with gear ontop of a factory smoke stack, ...only lasted 4 hours, but it was 3 hours and forty-5 minutes than before i watched your video. (many crazy pshyco people on these servers too) love it, 👍
My friend plays this game a lot and he recently introduced it to me. I enjoy this game a lot but I’m really bad at it. But, thanks for making this video because it helped me out a lot!
Really enjoyed these 2 starting vids. DayZ is intimidating for a new player, but your 2 vids have really helped. Thank you for the well presented great info that doesn't have curse words as the primary language. Sub'd, liked, and turned-on notifications. Will watch some or all of your other videos. Keep up the great work!
Hell yeah, I’ve been watching DayZ vids and playing Unturned for years finally got a computer that can handle DayZ and am exited to finally be able to play it myself
You're using a mode of navigation called "dead reckoning" which is actually a pretty complex way of understanding where you are. A compass and map can be helpful, but the only time those are superior is when you have no clue where you happen to be.
Hey man, your videos are extremely helpful and your calm and informative nature comes across as really endearing. If I might make a suggestion for content, how about a few specific guides on console controls how to build fire where to find medicine etc maybe five to ten minutes long? Anyway I'm subbing and thanks
He said, in one of his videos at least, that he hasn't played on console in years. He would have to relearn the controller to tell you. So, if I were you, I would not hold my breath on this one.
Well the ending is just characteristic of the average dayz experience. It was fitting imo😂 but yup! Been at it for years. Know Chernarus like the back of my hand🤣
Has my best run today in dayz. Got deep inland with high end gear and had vests the lot. Was prepping to bury stashes and the server rebooted and I lost everything. Then rebooted into a rainy night and got flu straight away.
Also for new players, one thing he missed in this video is try to lure zombies inside when you kill them if you can, I can’t even count how many times I have found snd killed people because they left a trail of dead zombies in the wide open lol
The Capri pants crack me up I just started playing and it is a hard game lol I die to hunger more then anything Great video Hope you have a great week led
ive got 100 hours, me and my buddy caught some dude with a full gear set and ak baiting low level players into the forest. we ended up crawling across an open field and tracked the player for 2 hours. caught him laying on the ground trying to bait more people. snuck up and got a shot gun to the back of his head. this is the stuff that makes me continue playing this game. lol ended up getting an ka-74 with 5 mags and 120 extra rounds to load. talk about worth
3:04, Yooooooo.... You passed up on swapping out your belt with the zombie's Smersh vest! You do realize the Smersh vest can now be equipped to the belt slot, right? Instant 30 slots of inventory plus attachments for grenades AND a Smersh bag which grants an additional 30 inventory slots! My skin is crawling thinking about passing up such excellent loot.
@@bwad99 I mostly love the Smersh stuff because the inventory stays 100% dry. I keep repair stuff in the vest, and food/medical in the Smersh bag. I also keep my main backpack typically empty, or even forego a main backpack.
I had to double check that I'm not in this video. Yesterday I spotted someone in dark clothes approaching Novy from the north, while I was heading north myself. DayZ makes me feel like I'm a fugitive in a foreign country, like a spy or something.
I thought the same and so looked into it... found that Assault Vests don't offer any bullet/ballistic protection, they're just there to provide extra storage slots. So really you need to stick to one of these 3 for actual protection: Stab Vest, Ballistic (Press) Vest, or Plate Carrier Vest.
@@andytaylor1617 I keep getting conflicting answers on whether or not tactical vests offer any protection. Some sources say they're equivalent to stsb vests, others say they offer none at all.
I only have 18 hours on day z but man the memories I made were awesome. I met this guy and he showed me the ropes on a high loot modded server. I remember when I first found a players base and I invited him to my party realy fast and made sure it wasn't his clan. It turns out it wasn't and I loaded up everything they had in their cargo truck and took off driving towards the hills. I set up my own base and lived there until I unfortunately met my demise in cherno. I kept trying to meet back up with my friend to get my loot but died and the server restarted so I lost everything.
Bro, those ultra modded servers are in direct conflict w/the entire vibe of the game,imo! A map/my location on it, are the only mods I think should be automatic, but keep spirit of the struggle to live in a treacherous new world! Sorry, but no fresh spawn w/less than DOUBLE DIGIT hrs played.....should be driving a cargo truck full of all the loot in the game back to ....his own base?! Misses the point and robs freshies from the rush of organic survival and discovery! Some will never get excited about finding a baby AK+mag after hours of barely surviving. They will complain when they don't have after searching for just 20 minutes and not leaving their spawn area! Alot will leave for the mods forever! That instant gratification robs them of a MUCH more immersive +challenging +fun , game experience than is possible when every weapon+item is basically handed to you! Just my 2cents ......keep the change!
I usually dont sub man but you're on point! Very informative and def the right way to teach someone the game. I watched like 5 vids so far obv not in order but def got me glued for a half day
Learning where to go requires tips from others and experience. I found learning the map was easier, for me, to not worry about dying so much and paying attention to what was around me a little farther out. I would jog along and every kilometer or so I would stop and make a couple of 360's looking at the terrain and structures in sight (making yourself a target is not always healthy). Getting killed just let me make the run again to see if I could remember where I was. Early on I preferred moving on the trails (named after colors) to the roads or the railroads for learning the lay of the land. Getting killed or just dying a lot taught me to get what I could get as fast as possible and get out of the spawn point. That took me much longer than a pro since I didn't know where to find what I needed and suffered from the Search Everywhere for Everything Disease. Once I decided I was safe enough I would go thru my inventory with a fine-tooth comb trying to learn what everything I picked up was and what it was good for or how it would benefit me if I kept it. Tossed a lot of good stuff along with junk but not near enough junk.
If I have the bagspace for it, I always take extra epi-pen, as soon as possible use it to boost across bad terrain like open fields with the 60 seconds stamina
new sub, Interesting Game I think I like it. I retired living on a fixed income. Have to save up to buy the game but I think it is worth it.. Good video. Just so you know I've been a gamer every since Pong and I still love playing games in my 60's..
I just followed the hikers trails and stopped by places to loot along the way. Those maps at the rest spots are so fukin useful. Ive done nothing but follow the trails further inland. Although i only have a Mosin and a Kolt 45 im pretty new so i have no clue what weapons are optimal.
Great vid dude! I will say however, it is CLEAR that you are DEFO not a noob at this and as much as I don't wanna preach to the converted, after having over 8.5k hours in game myself, I was SCREAMING at my monitor at times...."MY GUY, WHY ARE YOU RUNNING ACROSS OPEN FIELDS, YOU'RE JUST ASKING TO GET SNIPED?!?!" LOL :D It is always better to take a longer approach around through the treelines scanning as you go rather than to cut across fields in the open, it may take you longer to reach your destination but at least you'll remain in cover and be harder to spot and kill! :)
For the sake of teaching the absolute basics of the game/and for time I played slightly different than normal as a showcase. I'm very aware of using treelines as cover lol
@@0xmoo Not a flex AT ALL, I just couldn't understand some of the decisions made thats all but as I was previously informed it was done as a matter of.... and I quote " showcasing the basics" So I understand why he chose to play it out like that,
Can you do a night survival guide? A lot of times playing at night is a bitch. I can't see 5 feet in front of me, I dont want to risk turning my light on because its basically putting a target on my head lol. And players aside, playing at night, its hard to see if I'm walking towards a big group of zombies. They're extremely annoying to deal with at night.
This video was filmed at a time where shotguns were unsuable due to a broken bullet registration for their ammo types-- therefore I don't touch them. I'm very far from new lol
Can you in further vids show clips of where you are in your journey on the map? I just started playing very hard to keep up with your location and direction. But love your style brother.
Should always hit the west airfield before heading out. Gets you most of the mid tier gear. Sometimes makes going further pointless if you find a chopper wreck
Bwad, do you have anything where you take a vantage point like you did in this video and show the points of interest for each town. At least the beginner and intermediate towns?
hey! I do have guides that reference and point put various POIs in towns, but in the way you're asking. I could make something like that if you think it's helpful?
Thanks for the reply! I’m not sure if possible to look down on all the towns / villages to show us. I’m so new, but you, in this video, with the scope on Novy was really helpful.
Thanks for all the help man. I was lost in this game till I watched the vid before this. It seems real hard for me to find a bladed object so in turn hard for me to prepare any food i do find. I just can't wait till I know the map like you do bruh.
FYI zombies immediately despawn when someone leaves an area. If you see a town with no zombies, it's a guarantee there are no players. What happens after YOU arrive and spawn zombies is anyone's guess.
But if you scope the area from far enough away and there's no zombies, then there's less chance than when you get there the zombies were spawned by someone else, right?
I haven't been playing very long on dayz. I die quite often. It definitely sucks. But I'm still learning how to play. So.. I wish I could have better luck in the game. Always starving, or dieing of thirst, or infected killing me because I can't seem to find a weapon to defend myself from them. Very discouraging, but I keep trying.
This is brilliant thanks for sharing, tough luck looked to be in a good place. Have played a few times as a absolute beginner and died bleeding out. First task find bandages and learn how to fight zombies.
Assault vests are just extra inventory. They offer no ballistic protection-- so I don't want to pick them up and over carry items just to switch the moment I find a stab, press, or plate.
That is one of the things I find so frustrating in this game. You spend so much time & effort, only to be killed with no interaction. Wouldn't be so bad if you could create a save point so you don't start with nothing again..
Now that I know you can bury things and make shelters I’ve got a nice set up going on in a forest not far from a road. Found a nice circle sort of, of bushes and angled my shelter so it’s very hard to see if running by. Got some goodies buried around nearby incase anyone finds and kills me I will just go back there and get kitted (granted I find a shovel or pickaxe/farming hoe). Working up the courage to hit an airfield one of these days lol.
@@bwad99 yea man. I remember you saying that in one of your streams. I ran into a base the other day in kehlm. Just had a door and a bunch of posts in place. I thought about dismantling the big door but then was like nah it probably took alot of hours to get to that point lol
@@bwad99 I have a guy going on a community server which isn’t super OP with the loot but I have to have like at least 50hrs with him (is there a way to check how long you’ve been surviving for?) but I don’t know how to build walls and bases yet. Or even fix up a car. I’m just still kind of learning the game.
@@LJT9393 unfortunately there's no way to check your survival time. Gotta track it yourself. As far as basebuilding I recommend looking up a guide, it's a bit too complicated for me to write out in a comment😂
I was discussing with my friend weather or not I should take a cow boy hat over my ballistic helmet and as soon as I went outside I got shot in the head the helmet saved my life and I killed the guy who shot me
Hey buddy I have a question. So I found that bk18 I believe, it's the one that's a single shot rifle that takes 7.62x39 and now it's a single shot so I was wondering how do you reload it the fastest? The way it seems right now I would shoot it but then have to bring up my inventory, go to any 7.62 ammo and hit combine? There is no faster way to reload it? I had thought maybe if I put it in my quickslots it would let me reload but that doesn't seem to work at all. Any advice on how you reload it the quickest? I'm on xbox. Thanks!
@@bwad99 Yup you're right! I keep tapping it and it just kept breaking the rifle in half to eject the casing lol. I found a CR so I switched to that now. Almost killed by a pack of zombies last night lol. The game is definitely tough but I'm learning. Loving it so far. Thanks for the help man. I'm gonna check and make sure I subbed you before. Edit, yeah im subbed 👍🏻
Some basic guidance of I'm new noob There is no tutorial how to do somthings Like to switch items or to swap items in your hands or the quick access such as 1 2 3 slots .. how to do??
Tutorial, what's that ? ----------------------- Some kind of alien rays engulf the planet, affecting only humans. Some more affected than others. 99% of population gone. You wake up where you can't read anything written. No power anywhere. Buildings basically empty. There is no one you can depend on for anything. Where is the survival tutorial ? Sorry, couldn't resist, even though I knew you were asking about mechanics of the game, not survival advice.
dude is either way lucky or my luck REALLY sucks. I just started playing but I haven't found a weapon WITH a mag yet. Found 3 pristine skorpions, not a single mag or round of ammo, 4 or 5 glocks, no mags...

Purification tabs are a must on high disease servers. Top Tier Vid ,as always...
Perfect DayZ video with a perfect ending! Quintessential!!!
You're using a mode of navigation called "dead reckoning" which is actually a pretty complex way of understanding where you are. A compass and map can be helpful, but the only time those are superior is when you have no clue where you happen to be.
Lol such a classic end of a dayZ adventure haha. Nice. Building up to this point is always fun though

Has my best run today in dayz. Got deep inland with high end gear and had vests the lot. Was prepping to bury stashes and the server rebooted and I lost everything. Then rebooted into a rainy night and got flu straight away.
Definitely deserve more credit thank you for helping me get into dayz
Appreciate that! Glad to do my part in helping dayz build up it's community 🤠
The sun for navigation works if you know what time it is. Also if it is cloudy, objects still produce shadows
48:17 that "tapping shift" method is not a small detail, actually! It's a GAME CHANGER! It'd save so much time! I'll try it now.
Also for new players, one thing he missed in this video is try to lure zombies inside when you kill them if you can, I can’t even count how many times I have found snd killed people because they left a trail of dead zombies in the wide open lol

Great video bro, it was a pleasure to watch. Cheers!
Thanks dude! Glad you enjoyed, hope you learned something 🤠👌🏻
OMG THE ENDING. I feel represented.
Great advice, Great vid, Thank you)
The commentary is really important thank you
I had to double check that I'm not in this video. Yesterday I spotted someone in dark clothes approaching Novy from the north, while I was heading north myself. DayZ makes me feel like I'm a fugitive in a foreign country, like a spy or something.
LOL🤠🤣
Sounds like a good mindset for one wanting to survive.
I know im like a year late, but i was wondering why you didn't loot those assault vests off of those zombies in the first military area you looted
I thought the same and so looked into it... found that Assault Vests don't offer any bullet/ballistic protection, they're just there to provide extra storage slots. So really you need to stick to one of these 3 for actual protection: Stab Vest, Ballistic (Press) Vest, or Plate Carrier Vest.
@@andytaylor1617 I keep getting conflicting answers on whether or not tactical vests offer any protection. Some sources say they're equivalent to stsb vests, others say they offer none at all.
@@owenhall4028 Hmm interesting. It may have changed in a recent update, but according to the DayZ Wiki it's still just the 3 vests mentioned.
I only have 18 hours on day z but man the memories I made were awesome. I met this guy and he showed me the ropes on a high loot modded server. I remember when I first found a players base and I invited him to my party realy fast and made sure it wasn't his clan. It turns out it wasn't and I loaded up everything they had in their cargo truck and took off driving towards the hills. I set up my own base and lived there until I unfortunately met my demise in cherno. I kept trying to meet back up with my friend to get my loot but died and the server restarted so I lost everything.
Bro, those ultra modded servers are in direct conflict w/the entire vibe of the game,imo! A map/my location on it, are the only mods I think should be automatic, but keep spirit of the struggle to live in a treacherous new world!
Sorry, but no fresh spawn w/less than DOUBLE DIGIT hrs played.....should be driving a cargo truck full of all the loot in the game back to ....his own base?! Misses the point and robs freshies from the rush of organic survival and discovery! Some will never get excited about finding a baby AK+mag after hours of barely surviving. They will complain when they don't have after searching for just 20 minutes and not leaving their spawn area! Alot will leave for the mods forever! That instant gratification robs them of a MUCH more immersive +challenging +fun , game experience than is possible when every weapon+item is basically handed to you!
Just my 2cents ......keep the change!
Agree. I am not into mods. When I play a game I want the vanilla the creators made, not what some yahoo did to "improve" the game.@@JohnnyRingo3645
I usually dont sub man but you're on point! Very informative and def the right way to teach someone the game. I watched like 5 vids so far obv not in order but def got me glued for a half day
also im at about 300 hours ik im just a baby lol
Awesome dude! Happy to help out! Keep at it👌🏻
Wow what a good video, and the way it ended damn. That’s DAYZ for ya
Yup. Classic DayZ! Happy to help :)
I learned alot from you hooe you continue this
Good stuff, ty
Just started playing this game recently, vids really help, but the main thing I’m struggling with is knowing where to go/ learning the map.
It just takes time and experience on the map to learn it really.
Learning where to go requires tips from others and experience. I found learning the map was easier, for me, to not worry about dying so much and paying attention to what was around me a little farther out. I would jog along and every kilometer or so I would stop and make a couple of 360's looking at the terrain and structures in sight (making yourself a target is not always healthy). Getting killed just let me make the run again to see if I could remember where I was. Early on I preferred moving on the trails (named after colors) to the roads or the railroads for learning the lay of the land. Getting killed or just dying a lot taught me to get what I could get as fast as possible and get out of the spawn point. That took me much longer than a pro since I didn't know where to find what I needed and suffered from the Search Everywhere for Everything Disease. Once I decided I was safe enough I would go thru my inventory with a fine-tooth comb trying to learn what everything I picked up was and what it was good for or how it would benefit me if I kept it. Tossed a lot of good stuff along with junk but not near enough junk.
Keep up the good work Billy boy.
Thanks dude!
Love these videos and the way it ended. That's the game in a nutshell.
Absolutely is. Not what I imagined happened, but it's such a dayz ending🤣
Great Vid!
Thanks dude!
If I have the bagspace for it, I always take extra epi-pen, as soon as possible use it to boost across bad terrain like open fields with the 60 seconds stamina
I take it for emergency flabks or to escape bad cover in a gunfight or something
What's flabks ? That's a new one on me. @@bwad99
awesome guide, a lot of details I've learned from it, can't wait for upper indermediate class
Thanks🤠 working on 2 or 3 other tip vids/guides and then I plan on working my way up north to record a part 3😁
@@bwad99perfect! I usually get past the point where I feel comfy with my guns and loot and then I die in the first gunfight :/
really like the chill videos
new sub, Interesting Game I think I like it. I retired living on a fixed income. Have to save up to buy the game but I think it is worth it.. Good video. Just so you know I've been a gamer every since Pong and I still love playing games in my 60's..
A true legend Michael!!
@@bwad99 Original Gamer dude.
I just followed the hikers trails and stopped by places to loot along the way. Those maps at the rest spots are so fukin useful. Ive done nothing but follow the trails further inland. Although i only have a Mosin and a Kolt 45 im pretty new so i have no clue what weapons are optimal.
basically you need long range weapon and close range weapon.
I like this tipe of videos so much, quality content!
Thanks dude🤠😁
Thank you !!!
Great vid dude! I will say however, it is CLEAR that you are DEFO not a noob at this and as much as I don't wanna preach to the converted, after having over 8.5k hours in game myself, I was SCREAMING at my monitor at times...."MY GUY, WHY ARE YOU RUNNING ACROSS OPEN FIELDS, YOU'RE JUST ASKING TO GET SNIPED?!?!" LOL :D It is always better to take a longer approach around through the treelines scanning as you go rather than to cut across fields in the open, it may take you longer to reach your destination but at least you'll remain in cover and be harder to spot and kill! :)
For the sake of teaching the absolute basics of the game/and for time I played slightly different than normal as a showcase. I'm very aware of using treelines as cover lol
@@0xmoo Not a flex AT ALL, I just couldn't understand some of the decisions made thats all but as I was previously informed it was done as a matter of.... and I quote " showcasing the basics" So I understand why he chose to play it out like that,
A compass is actually really usefull to new players who don't know the map
Obviously yes lol. That's why those tools exist in the game.
Oh yeah I saw later in the video you brought it up, my bad
Mans talking about getting a gun cleaning kit for his scorpion and I'm still trying to break big sticks into small sticks 😂😂😂😂😂
Can you do a night survival guide? A lot of times playing at night is a bitch. I can't see 5 feet in front of me, I dont want to risk turning my light on because its basically putting a target on my head lol. And players aside, playing at night, its hard to see if I'm walking towards a big group of zombies. They're extremely annoying to deal with at night.
Sure. That's not a bad idea😁
USE geforce filtre
A tip u should always check the shotguns in the pd for ammo and u look pretty new to the game
This video was filmed at a time where shotguns were unsuable due to a broken bullet registration for their ammo types-- therefore I don't touch them.
I'm very far from new lol
Is there a location guide for inland towns? @bwad99
Great guide for beginners really helped me out, liked and subbed keep it up
Thanks! Happy to help out.
Just start days over the weekend first few plays I kelp dying in the woods lost with no food 😅
Watching this is the opposite of anxiety.
Can you in further vids show clips of where you are in your journey on the map? I just started playing very hard to keep up with your location and direction. But love your style brother.
Another great video dude. Keep up the grind
Appreciate you Cruise!
Should always hit the west airfield before heading out. Gets you most of the mid tier gear. Sometimes makes going further pointless if you find a chopper wreck
Balota is alright. Not going to find heli crashes there on vanilla, but it has a decent amount of military spawns for sure.
Bwad, do you have anything where you take a vantage point like you did in this video and show the points of interest for each town. At least the beginner and intermediate towns?
hey! I do have guides that reference and point put various POIs in towns, but in the way you're asking. I could make something like that if you think it's helpful?
Thanks for the reply! I’m not sure if possible to look down on all the towns / villages to show us. I’m so new, but you, in this video, with the scope on Novy was really helpful.
@@Mikey-HTTR well good. I can look to cover more towns that way in the future. I'm sure it's helpful for those still learning the map!
Kinda surprised you didn't pull one of the chest rigs off the military zombies
Thanks for all the help man. I was lost in this game till I watched the vid before this. It seems real hard for me to find a bladed object so in turn hard for me to prepare any food i do find. I just can't wait till I know the map like you do bruh.
Love your videos and content mate, such a huge help to all new players out there like me 🤙👍
Nice. Happy to help dude!
FYI zombies immediately despawn when someone leaves an area. If you see a town with no zombies, it's a guarantee there are no players. What happens after YOU arrive and spawn zombies is anyone's guess.
But if you scope the area from far enough away and there's no zombies, then there's less chance than when you get there the zombies were spawned by someone else, right?
I haven't been playing very long on dayz. I die quite often. It definitely sucks. But I'm still learning how to play. So.. I wish I could have better luck in the game. Always starving, or dieing of thirst, or infected killing me because I can't seem to find a weapon to defend myself from them. Very discouraging, but I keep trying.
When it comes to dying often, don't feel lonesome. Me and dying of starvation, thirst or infected are ol' buddies of mine.
“Not good with cardinal directions” - Also scoffs at a compass spawn. 😂
because I don't need it
This is brilliant thanks for sharing, tough luck looked to be in a good place. Have played a few times as a absolute beginner and died bleeding out. First task find bandages and learn how to fight zombies.
66hrs in made it to a military zone and a toxic zone gets killed on site by a person I never saw
What I gathered from this video is this game is all about collecting gear for other people.
How to survive when you leave the spawn?? Dude literally has a full inventory. How do u get a full inventory in spawn?
at the start when you entered the military tents you killed a zombie with an assault vest i wonder why you didnt pick it up
Assault vests are just extra inventory. They offer no ballistic protection-- so I don't want to pick them up and over carry items just to switch the moment I find a stab, press, or plate.
U mostly won't find a clip until u go to a ruined town or military base or maybe a police station or find by chance
That is one of the things I find so frustrating in this game. You spend so much time & effort, only to be killed with no interaction. Wouldn't be so bad if you could create a save point so you don't start with nothing again..
i'm thinking the shot you heard was just a decoy shot to draw people over to his sniper location.
Very possible!
I see people at the radio towers all the time on official. Wonder if it’s because I play on AU servers.
3 hours in and still couldn't find a bottle or something to carry water. This was on x4 loot server. I can imagine in a official server.
They really should of let you be able to craft a simple bow with rope and a stick. Would of made the game much more engaging early levels.
Do you happen to stream these beginner or solo ventures on some platform? Would love to see
Now that I know you can bury things and make shelters I’ve got a nice set up going on in a forest not far from a road. Found a nice circle sort of, of bushes and angled my shelter so it’s very hard to see if running by. Got some goodies buried around nearby incase anyone finds and kills me I will just go back there and get kitted (granted I find a shovel or pickaxe/farming hoe). Working up the courage to hit an airfield one of these days lol.
Nice dude! I'm not a loot stasher personally, but if i was I would make shelters/crates to bury vs building a base!
@@bwad99 yea man. I remember you saying that in one of your streams. I ran into a base the other day in kehlm. Just had a door and a bunch of posts in place. I thought about dismantling the big door but then was like nah it probably took alot of hours to get to that point lol
@@LJT9393 😂 yeah takes hours to put together a gate and some walls and way too easy to break down. Not worth the time imo😂
@@bwad99 I have a guy going on a community server which isn’t super OP with the loot but I have to have like at least 50hrs with him (is there a way to check how long you’ve been surviving for?) but I don’t know how to build walls and bases yet. Or even fix up a car. I’m just still kind of learning the game.
@@LJT9393 unfortunately there's no way to check your survival time. Gotta track it yourself. As far as basebuilding I recommend looking up a guide, it's a bit too complicated for me to write out in a comment😂
I shut the doors behind me. After I loot.. helps cover my tail
I would have kept the ij because of the slot space but to each their own
28:44 I found a metal knight's chest plate here the other day. I've only been playing for 2 days. Is it worth holding onto?
Depends on it's weight and number of pockets, I guess. Remember weight makes you lose stamina and is more noisy.
Funny. I’m on a 20 hour life and I literally ran the exact same loot route you did… be careful in Stary. Killed 2 peeps over there :)
Said this before I saw your outcome lol.. subscribed..
I was discussing with my friend weather or not I should take a cow boy hat over my ballistic helmet and as soon as I went outside I got shot in the head the helmet saved my life and I killed the guy who shot me
GGs dude lol. For me, it's fashion over function-- and if someone headshots me it's GGs to them. They probably deserved to win the fight
will be good if you get map on a start
You can pull one up and display it on another monitor if you have one handy.
Hey buddy I have a question. So I found that bk18 I believe, it's the one that's a single shot rifle that takes 7.62x39 and now it's a single shot so I was wondering how do you reload it the fastest? The way it seems right now I would shoot it but then have to bring up my inventory, go to any 7.62 ammo and hit combine? There is no faster way to reload it? I had thought maybe if I put it in my quickslots it would let me reload but that doesn't seem to work at all. Any advice on how you reload it the quickest? I'm on xbox. Thanks!
Hey dude. You should be able to hold down "Y" and it would automatically reload your weapon if you have ammo in your inventory. Either Y or X.
@@bwad99 Yup you're right! I keep tapping it and it just kept breaking the rifle in half to eject the casing lol. I found a CR so I switched to that now. Almost killed by a pack of zombies last night lol. The game is definitely tough but I'm learning. Loving it so far. Thanks for the help man. I'm gonna check and make sure I subbed you before. Edit, yeah im subbed 👍🏻
Some basic guidance of I'm new noob
There is no tutorial how to do somthings
Like to switch items or to swap items in your hands or the quick access such as 1 2 3 slots .. how to do??
Controls, using controller or keyboard?
Tutorial, what's that ?
-----------------------
Some kind of alien rays engulf the planet, affecting only humans.
Some more affected than others.
99% of population gone.
You wake up where you can't read anything written.
No power anywhere.
Buildings basically empty.
There is no one you can depend on for anything.
Where is the survival tutorial ?
Sorry, couldn't resist, even though I knew you were asking about mechanics of the game, not survival advice.
2 hours, one gunshot in the distance, insta death, repeat…
Damn that’s harsh.
dude is either way lucky or my luck REALLY sucks. I just started playing but I haven't found a weapon WITH a mag yet. Found 3 pristine skorpions, not a single mag or round of ammo, 4 or 5 glocks, no mags...
isn’t there a vest on the zombie at 3:44?
