DayZ Logic: Shot in head LIVES

Faked

Someone who wanted to make friends (no joke)

Video starts at 5:36. I never understand why all DayZ videos are so long. Cool explosion.

Only if I can ride rabbits into Cherno with my MK 48

I can!

I've finally hit Day 60, and I just wanted to share my little achievement with you guys. Along the way I've found many tips and tricks, as well as some facts. So let's start that list: FACTS: Surviving over 1 week makes people believe that you aren't really playing the game. All the hackers and dupers and snipers make everyone think you're playing the game like a pussy, when really, you aren't. Everyone doubts you. Servers with less than 20 players are 99% clean of hackers. Across hundreds of servers I've played on with less than 20 people, only one or two has had hackers. The rarest gear in the game IS rare, contrary to the popular belief that everyone is carrying it. Finding things like a GPS or a Ghillie Suit is hell, because the chance of finding them without killing anybody or raiding a player camp (AKA where they spawn) is very very small. Vehicles are hoarded on every server, and if you find a vehicle that is in its spawn point, then it has respawn without the hoarder's knowledge, or someone else left it there. Helicopters are now ALMOST ALWAYS in player camps. Not once have I seen a helicopter in its spawn point. Humanity raises 150 every 20 minutes that your humanity is above 0 Ghillie Suits guarantee that people will try to kill you on sight. I have been shot at numerous times since I got my Ghillie suit, and I expect to be shot many more times. (No, I don't ALT+F4. I just run away in zigzags. All the people that have been shooting at me have had shitty aim. I'm sure if someone with good aim comes along, they're going to get me.) Not killing players is bad, according to the forums. I have gotten a lot of shit for not killing anybody, but I haven't had the need to. Even some of the people who have fired first on me, when I turn around to shoot back, instantly disconnect. Not killing every zombie that appears on your screen is also bad, according to the forums. It still rains far too much. All of the pictures below were shot on two servers. (The first was when I forgot to turn on debug, so I just joined another random server to take another picture) It was raining on both servers at the exact same time. Yes, they were different servers. The serverhopping bug STILL isn't fixed, reason why I'm on the beach. I should be here, and there is even a picture of me standing there last night. So can someone tell me why the hell this isn't fixed? According to my last post about this, it's not a feature, it's a bug. In relation to the above, infinite loading screens/waiting for character to create still isn't fixed either. This is probably due to the server, or with ArmA2/Battleye itself, but I haven't seen any fingers pointed at anybody yet. Player camps are no longer at the edges of the map, but rather in the middle of forests in the middle or western parts of the map. TIPS AND TRICKS: Lying down while being shot at by another player reduces the chance of them hitting you. Not a guarantee, but it usually works. Especially works in open fields, where you don't have any cover. Lie down and face your aggressor. Instant makeshift cover. (Once again, this isn't a guarantee that they won't hit you, but it makes you a smaller target. Think of someone standing upright in a field, versus the head and shoulders on the ground.) While being chased by zombies, lie down in short pine trees to lose them. Nevermind on this tip. If anything is on fire, and by this I mean the entire city is on fire with ridiculously tall flames, then there is a hacker on the server. Leave immediately. If a hacker teleports you into the air and makes you start to fall to your death, quickly ALT+F4. Now, join another server. Just as the screen fades in, ALT+F4 again. Repeat until you respawn back on the beach for serverhopping. YOU MUST BE QUICK OR YOU WILL DIE (Note: this has not been tested. Sounds good enough to survive without injury. Someone test this and report back on the results, if you would.) Zombies do not go on docks. Use this to your advantage when in coastal cities. When looking for a helicopter at a player camp, think: Where could a helicopter be landed? In other words, look for helicopters in player camps near edges of forests/open fields. Helicopters cannot be landed in forests easily, nor can they be flown out easily. Be careful. Hero skins make you run significantly faster. Try to be a nice guy, and you will be rewarded. Any zombies that are running somewhere without reason have been alerted by another player. Watch where they are running, as the zombies go for the closest player THINGS I STILL DON'T KNOW: Do tents and vehicles save outside of the map? If you already know some of the tips/facts provided, good. Knowledge means survival. These tips are aimed at newbies or other people who don't know much about DayZ. Any other tips listed in the comments will be added to the list. So really, living for 60 days has become more of a test than survival. And now, pictures for all the pix-or-GTFO people. Yes, I'm still not carrying a third gun. No player kills, not a lot of zombie kills. No tents or vehicles. Everything I need is on my person. If you don't believe that I legitimately lasted 60 days, I really don't care. Believe it or not, it's possible to do good in this game without killing people/hacking/duping/logging. I wish I could see my own stats. I want to know how far I've run! (No, I'm not a statwhore (lol) but I'm curious as to what it would be.) The only thing I don't have is a radio, but hey, I'm open to anybody donating one! Once I get a car, I plan to go to the coast, and help anybody that wants help. Blood transfusion, gear collecting, transport, I don't care. 60 days is enough for me. If anybody kills me, good for you, you hit the jackpot. After I inevitably die on this life, I'm going to RUN into Cherno with nothing on me, and laugh at all the people who are freaked out by someone with a flashlight xD AND NOW: My path! (this took like twenty minutes to make) The first time I went to Zub castle, I went there to meet my friends. We ran around, then split. 2nd time, I was going to meet up with Inception., then we went almost to the NWAF, then split. GG, all!

It took me 40 days of constant searching, hitting high-value residential spawns and medium-value residential spawns several times to find a Ghillie Suit. They aren't rare. Or rather, I'm not lucky. There is a less that 1% chance that it'll spawn in a 7% military gear loot spawn that is only there 50% of the time. Figure out the real percentage of finding a Ghillie Suit. As for the tip, you don't have to follow it or like it, but it IS a tactic used in real life battle. Hell, it's even in ArmA 2 campaign. Notice how you're almost always in big open fields? You're supposed to lie down when being shot, as it makes you a smaller target. Thanks for the feedback, though.

When you're too cold (thermometer icon is blinking) or you are hit by a zombie when bleeding.

You are sick. You need antibiotics. Good luck finding those...

Noted.

Seems that you proved fact #1

Damn, you beat me to that As for OP, I can help, but I'll need a while to get there; I'm in Kamenka.

Players reduce lifespan. The solution is simple. Avoid players.

I'll pick up the next one I find. I'll carry one and see how that goes.

But it's really conspicuous to other players...

What's the advantage behind them?

New fact added

That's a tank, not a gun. No.

I can't stop laughing

Only 1 AS50 per server

No.

I love you. It works! Thanks!!!
