Hey so many players ask whats the best equipment to use, so figured I'd write a guide: Clothes/Armor: Head: Ballistic HelmetFeet: Combat BootsHands: Beige Working GlovesShirt: TTsKO JacketPants: TTsKO PantsVest: UK Assault Vest - DPM Camo Note on clothes: The above clothes will give you maximum inventory slot space while at the same time camouflage you and make you harder to detect. If you can't find the exact colors then use similar colors, colors such as green grey and brown are best for camouflage, but never wear bright colors such as red or you will be a walking target! If you are playing at night, then black would actually be a better color. All items above can be found in military areas such as barracks and ATC towers (except for the working gloves which can be found anywhere) Backpack:Hunting Backpack It has 30 slots for items. Note that you sacrifice 5 slots compared to the Mountain Backpacks that have 35 slots, but you gain more stealth and camouflage. If you insist on wearing a mountain backpack, preferably use the green one but never the red. A good place to find backpacks is a construction site. There is one near Berezino Weapons:Firefighter AxeFNX45M4A1 The firefighter axe is the best melee weapon. It's easy to hit zombies with it and you will kill them with one shot. It's pretty common to find, though until you find it just use any other melee weapon. There is also a Splitting Axe, but it is a lot less accurate than the firefighter axe For Pistol I chose the FNX45 since it has a bigger magazine The M4A1 is an assault rifle and is one of the most sought after item in the game. Look for it in Barracks. I found one twice in the Barracks of the Krasnostav Airstrip Medical:First Aid KitAlcohol TinctureBandagesCharcoal Tablets Hospitals are a good place to look for Medical Equipment. There is a hospital in Berezino and some other cities. Until you get a First Aid Kit/Bandages, make sure you have rags. You can make rags from any piece of shirt, and other clothing. Apply the rags as soon as possible when bleeding because of a Zombie Hit. Food/Drink:Can OpenerWater BottleCanteen Most food you find will be in cans, so you want to have a can opener. Sometimes those can be hard to come by, but in the meantime you can use your axe or other sharp weapons to open the cans. Just drag the weapon to the can to open it. If you open it this way though, some food will spill so its best to use a can opener. For water, the best items are the refillable water bottle and canteen. You can refill those at any water pump. Water pumps can be found in many towns and cities. To refill, put the water bottle or canteen in your hand, face the water source, and use the mouse wheel to select the command to refill the bottle. Anyway hope this help, I probably left something out so leave a comment if you have any more suggestions!

yeah I've found weapons in piano house many times

can you explain?

I notice many servers are in night mode again like what happens whenever there is a patch or something?

whenever I am fully geared I stay away from ladders :) I wont go on a ladder even if I see a flyable fighter jet or RPG on the roof because I know what's gonna happen :)

yeah thanks to all server hosters :)

right now you have to rent servers from company like gameservers.com

many servers right now are "day only" and usually it will say so on the description

With a helmet and vest on it takes more time for a zombie to make me bleed

we already have two: one for regular and one for hardcore

See: DayZ Standalone Keyboard Controls

I hope military zombies will have loot on them in the future

Try this: DayZ Standalone: Spawn Points It shows you some spawn points and recommended loot paths

I use Bandicam and have no problems

Zombie AI will be improved as game progresses

I see many of them with good population

btw anyone know if more books will be added in patches?

Here it doesnt mention anything about being removed I think before reset I saw it in ATC tower in one of the airfields

The best weapon I've found for killing zombies is the Firefighter Axe There's also splitting axe but firefighter axe is better, easier to hit and you kill them in one blow

I guess it's safe to say that most people oppose this idea :)

I don't like this idea, it isn't what DayZ is meant to be and if for some chance a PVE mode were to be introduced, it certainly wouldn't be through the use of UN Berets :)

happened to me I just gave up and let my char die of hunger/thirst

also I noticed Canned Spaghetti helps with thirst, probably because of the spaghetti sauce?

I think I found one in Supermarket a couple of times
