Please don't judge, and don't critique too hard. I'm just here to help, not to ruin. This is a guide for the newest people to the game. This tutorial will just be a short tutorial, and a short guide to your first day in DayZ. I won't tell you everything, but I will get you started. First things first, when you spawn take a look at your surroundings. Take in account every time you spawn where you are by and any close landmarks. Now it is a possibility to spawn more north in the game, which may confuse more newer players. If you have played the DayZ mod, then you should know where you spawn sometimes. The DayZ game is a bit different. I recommend you just keep going on the shore until you get some good gear to start heading north. Gear, What you want before heading to the hills!: - You're going to need a melee weapon to kill zombies. ; this is a need because zombie aggro has a longer distance now, and they don't back down. If you find the Fire Axe, then you are in luck. I have found it to be one of the most efficient weapons to kill zombies. It is usually a one-shot-kill. - You're going to want a lot of water; at least 5+ canteens worth. You can refill at lakes and water wells, by holding the item in your hand, and scrolling. You can get sick really easily by a majority of things, so use your common sense, and do things you'd probably do/not do in real life. - You're going to need some food. Find a couple pieces of food. I haven't found that you need too much food to survive. - Try to find a gun. You might not run in to much people, but this will be helpful if you do. Go on your instinct. I usually don't shoot on sight. I try not to reveal my position when I find someone, but reveal that I do see them. Try ot get them to drop a weapon at least, and make a friendship. Ask them questions and if you don't like them, YOLO. But. . . Don't waste ammo, Use your melee weapons on unarmed and not-so-dangerous people. Also, you can easily just kill yourself, and get a new spawn, till you can get good loot. lol. Tips: Try to pick up the least amount of close off of dead people, or sick people. I usually only take clothes if they are on the ground, not on a body. It is very easy to get sick and die. It takes your blood away slowly, and is not fun. Blood can be replenished slowly by food. It can also be replenished by blood-bags. But watch out. You need to have the same blood type as the blood in the blood bag. If not, you can get sick and all that stuff. Try to know where you are at all times, and familiarize yourself with the map. Look for landmarks, and different arrangements/buildings in towns or cities. This can really help you in the future. There is also a website to help you which is www.dayzdb.com/map . . . I usually like to find a compass to know which direction I am heading. You can also use the website I just provided if you know where you are. You can also find parts of maps in game. I like to bind the key to M, just like ArmA 2: OA is. Do not trust everyone, or as a lot of people like to say, "Trust no-one" It's hard for me to go with that motto cause I am a friendly guy, and I try to keep the game fun, not just Chernarus+ Deathmatch as I like to say. Try to travel in groups or with friends. It makes the game easier, as you can give tasks to different people, and you can just kill anyone you see or take them hostage. Keep it real, but fun. When you die, keep in your mind that the loot that took you so long to get, is just as easy to get again, and maybe even in a shorter time. The game is mixed with skill and luck. Extra Tips From OTHER Players!: - If you don't need a pair of clothes that you find on the ground, just right click it, and tear it up. It creates rags that you can use to stop bleeding / bandages. @Slartybartfast - If you find helmets like Motobike Helmets or M9 Army Helmets (What they are really called) put them on. They help protect from zombie attacks as well as getting hit in the head by another player. @ap1werks ^ - Stay clear from northern places of the map untill you have gathered essential surviving and combat supplies. @Rivenoir - Clouds go east if you cant find a map, so use that to determine a direction to go. @antiami REMEMBER: DayZ is about survival. This isn't Call of Duty, or Battlefield. Your goal is to stay alive. Keep in mind every decision you make has a consequence. (good or bad) Try to make a plan before you go out wandering in the middle of nowhere. Develop tactics, and have fun. You will learn a lot about the game over time, create a relationship, and understand the game more, as you play. This is a guide just for the newest of DayZ players. I have been playing for 3 years so . . . Also. . . Tell me if there is anything I need to add. It is just a really short guide I made, don't judge. Thanks. Have fun, and peace.

In my opinion I think they should add a whole Epoch deal. Epoch is / was a big hit, and they should currency like what they use in Russia, Ruble. I don't know. They might already be adding it. Anyone's opinion?

Disclaimer: I run an Epoch server. ^

^ Yeap. And btw, I love that game in your status. I have like 30 floors.

Look for the general east-coast or west-coast servers, not specific states. I have found that almost every single one of them are daylight. Look for general areas in the server name not specific states or places. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

Thanks guys so much. Really.

I have learned everything in the game. I have been playing DayZ for over a year, and my skills would be highly of use to you, in my opinion. elijah.ching

I'll join you. My Skype name is: elijah.ching

Make sure your directories are in the right place. Look at all of them. Only set the directory to the FOLDER Of where the game is.

I Have an idea. I usually run around with only an axe in my hand. I just run through elektro. I gather supplies (no guns.)

Hello, and today I will show you how to survive your first day in chernaurus. DayZ is becoming a very popular game. People buy ArmA 2 + Addons everyday JUST for DayZ. If you are that person, then this will help you become a better player in DayZ. This post is based on my opinion and what I think will help you in DayZ. First off, if you have any questions or comments after you read this, please feal free to write them down there. SURVIVING YOUR FIRST DAY There are many essential parts to surviving in DayZ. You may be able to survive off one thing, but you won't last long. BASICS OF THE GAME DayZ can be very complicating. But once you learn the basics it makes it seem very easy. Controls can start out hard, but here is a picture to help you know the main controls in the game. http://androidrocks.in/preview.php?ss=2&id=240 Your Inventory: Your inventory is a very important thing in this game. I will just let this picture explain that i found on google images. http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/images/thumb/b/b3/Elunah.com_DayZ_Inventory.jpg/700px-Elunah.com_DayZ_Inventory.jpg To loot an item you need to use your scroller and scroll down to "gear" and click the left mouse button or hit enter on your left keyboard. ( not numpad ) Another important thing in this game is the movement system in the inventory. For some reason it is a but complicating for new players. When you are looting an object on the left, you see numbers nuext to objects. That shows the number of that object in the loot pile. on the right it shows how many of that item you have in your inventory. To put the item from the loot pile into your inventory use the right arrow you see when scrolling over the item. The left arrow takes it out of your inventory. To open your bag click on your bag, then click ( on bottom of screen ) "open bag." Symbols: On the right side there are four icons there. They represent the major things that you need. When they are green, that means you are perfectly good and don't need to fix/repair any of those things. If one is slightly red, or red, then you need to fix that. One symbol is a thermometer. This records your body temperature. You do not want to run for too long or this will get high. You could even die. You should either crouch walk by pressing X once or drink something. Another symbol is the food symbol. This shows your hunger. It has the fork and knife on it. You need to eat regularly to survive in DayZ. It also keeps your blood up. There is also a symbol that looks like a water drop. That is the blood symbol. It basically is what i just said. It is how much blood you have. To keep that up you need to eat. If you see the blood symbol flashing with a cross that means you are bleeding. You need to bandage yourself. To bandage yourself press G. If you have a bandage, right click it ( When it is on the right side ) and left click bandage self. . .The last but not least is the water bottle symbol. This shows how much water you need. Find soda and water to keep that up. Tip: When you start out don't start in big servers. Start in small servers, because in big ones you might get killed, and loot is scarce. LOOTING Looting is probably one of the main things in DayZ. There are many things you should loot, and many things that you shouldn't. Here I'll show you a graph of MY OPINION on what to loot. I'ill use percentage to show how important looting that item is. A lot of stuff you can't even use on yourself or for yourself. Any kind of empty can = 0 - 30% Water bottles when empty are very usefull. You can fill them up at a water source and get a constant water supply. But regular tin/metal cans are useless if they are empty. That is probably one of the most common items when looting. Food/Water = 40 - 70% Looting food is probably just as important as looting guns/ammo. Food keeps you alive and keeps your blood level high. When eating food your blood increases, and so does your food level. When you drink it is the same thing, but with your drinking level. Guns/Ammo = 0% - 100% This depends on many factors. http://i.imgur.com/BuY29.jpg Here is a chart on showing the importantness ( Lol ) of each gun and weapon. This shows the ammo type, damage and much more. Clothes = 70% This depends on what kind of clothes. You probably will want to change into any clothes. The best type is a ghillie suit. That is a huge part in this game. You can be technically invisible when in the woods. Flares And Lights = 20% You probably don't want to pick these up. If you do use these and want light/attention at night use flares. Survivors come running, and so do zombies. Medical Supplies = 90% This is very important. Bandages and painkillers help you alot, they will make you last and survive. Blood bags help if you are with a friend. They can give you a blood transfusion and you can get full blood back. LOOTING AREAS http://dayzdb.com/map Here is a map of chernauras. It shows where places are, looting areas and important things. There are 4 important looting places in my opinion. Cherno, Elektro, NW Airfield and NE Airfield. The ones you will probably want to go to first is Cherno and Elektro. They have the best loot in the game ( Considering Surviving ). The places you should loot are fire houses http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/images/3/3e/Land_a_stationhouse.jpg , churches http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/images/thumb/9/92/Land_Church_03.jpg/300px-Land_Church_03.jpg hospitals http://media-chernarus.cursecdn.com/avatars/117/802/Land_A_Hospital.jpg school houses, and hospital tents http://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&hl=en&biw=1366&bih=671&tbm=isch&tbnid=i2fdnG_A9TLNCM:&imgrefurl=http://db.dayzwiki.com/buildings/91-hospital-tent&docid=iXkjCxzyzaZ6JM&imgurl=http://media-chernarus.cursecdn.com/avatars/117/857/USMC_WarfareBFieldhHospital.jpg&w=800&h=598&ei=Lg9VUMafNsiUiAK7ioCYDQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=641&vpy=312&dur=878&hovh=194&hovw=260&tx=221&ty=81&sig=103720809338280874802&page=1&tbnh=144&tbnw=232&start=0&ndsp=16&ved=1t:429,r:7,s:0,i:95 To get into hospitals you need to break the glass with a melee weapon. SURVIVORS / OTHER PLAYERS This is probably the easiest topic to write. I Have learned that in the end everybody wants to kill eachother. Just don't trust everyone you come by. Either kill them or just pass by. You should only team up with people you already know that will help you. Snipers are in a lot of places and want to kill you for your stuff, so watch out. AXES Axes are a big part to survive if you are a noob. They are VERY Common, and they one shot kill zombies. If you find one, just pick it up. When it is on your toolbelt, right click it then left click, remove from toolbelt. You equip it as your primary. When you are holding it you will see a mag symbol. Just Middle mouse click and it will reload the axe for you. It sounds wierd but you have to load an axe. When using an axe on zomibes, you want to kill the zombies before they see you. So you should sneak up and hit them. Axes are a simple temporary weapon untill you get a nice gun. LASTING LONG Surviving all depends on spreading out your findings. You want to find the best stuff and just basically survive. I'm Still Editing This So PLEASE Comment On Anything I Should Add.

I don't mean food is not usefull. I was tired when i wrote this.

I know. It is usefull. I was wrong. It's just as usefull as any other food.

Sorry, it's a habbit, I won't do it in the future. :(
