Just three rules I learned to get better and get better things in DayZ. Step 1: Don't just take off running. I was in the situation that new players were in and all I wanted to do is run. Take it slow crouch survay the area find best routes in and out. Step 2: Newer players want to jump into a server with 50 players. Who doesn't? Join a game with 5 - 10 players to have lease chance of running into them. Get use to the map, town, and the game. Step 3: Like everyone says "TRUST NO ONE". The least of your problems that you want to deal with is a partner. I been there I know what you think "Find a partner and you will do great" NO, if you have a so called Partner you get cocky think you two are invinsible but you are not. Stick to being alone unless you really need someone to help and you have no option. Examples: 1. Started a game, another new player was next to me, we teamed up. As soon as we both got weapons he killed me. 2. Started another game, found a player that was starting a new game to, he stayed with me till someone drove up on a quad and he ditched me. 3. Funny but, I broke my leg falling at Electro. Was at 3k blood, made it to the hospital. I sat there about to die and needed a blood transfusion. I heard 2 people so I stared yelling help. They found me gave me a blood transfusion. Heck partners for life, I was used for bait and was killed. -.-
