A quick tip on how to zoom your weapon scope/sight much further than you can normally - a must watch for long range sniping! Hope you enjoy! Drop a like, a comment or maybe even a subscribe if you're feeling generous and you wish to see more quicktips in future!

After many, many hours of recording, editing, cursing and drinking my frustrations away, I have finally uploaded the 'ULTIMATE' DayZ Quicktips Guide (emphasis on the 'Quick') This guide runs through everything you need to know when playing DayZ. It covers noob tips, weapon tips, performance tips, explains the hunger/thirst system, talks you through every status effect - it's causes, symptoms and treatment - and much more. This is a must watch for DayZ noobs and veterans alike, and also those interested in getting the game. Enjoy and be sure to like/subscribe/comment if this helped you guys out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9zXvmErWIw

Cheers for all the positive feedback :) glad the video has helped you guys out, i'll make sure to post on the forums when I put more tutorials and other DayZ related videos up on my channel.

To be honest with you I don't notice much difference with the view distance as I can still spot and snipe someone from one end of a city to the other. My compelling reason is that the Arma 2 engine (the engine DayZ uses) is renowned for having massive frame drops in the cities - which is where you will most likely run into encounters with other players. Personally I find that this view distance meets the happy medium of having awesome frames and is enough to be able to see everything you will need to. I rely on being able to twitch fire and being able to smoothly track a player if i'm shooting at him, which I feel you need to have 60+ FPS to be able to do proficiently. I understand that it's all just personal preference, but I can guarantee that if we were both in the city, me with my 70 fps and 1000 view distance will be far more accurate at hitting a moving target than you with your 45 fps and maxed out view distance. I obviously don't know how good your system is, but this is just an example of the improvement of frames I find this gives me. It might be ok for lag spikes or frame drops to get you killed once or twice in Battlefield or whatever, but in DayZ it means starting all over again. Screw that.
