Vehicles & Repair Introduction This guide will address every possible aspect of vehicles in DayZ. Why do you need vehicles? Obviously to transport yourself from point A to point B faster and usually safer than on foot. Vehicles also serve as storage space and can hold good amount of items in them, making them a must have for any serious organized group of survivors in DayZ. Guide is written from scratch by Sa-Matra, exclusively for dayzmod.com forums. Ressurected by LeYuno from reddit, big thanks goes to him. Original thread on Russian section of the forums. Please feel free to correct my spelling errors as I am not native English speaker (Use Private Messages for that). Thank you.

Some parts like "Engine Parts" are essential while other like "Windscreen Glass" are completely optional and only provide visual change. Repair parts types All vehicle parts are found within Industrial buildings which range from large factories to small industrial shacks. The only exception is Jerry can which along with Industrial buildings can be found in farms and barns. Here is complete list of vehicle repair parts available in DayZ: ________________________________________ Car Wheel Inventory slots: 6 Chance to find: Common, ~6% ________________________________________ Scrap Metal Inventory slots: 3 Chance to find: Common, ~4% ________________________________________ Fueltank Parts Inventory slots: 3 Chance to find: Low, ~2% ________________________________________ Engine Parts Inventory slots: 6 Chance to find: Rare, <1% ________________________________________ Main Rotor Assembly Inventory slots: 6 Chance to find: Rare, <1% ________________________________________ Windscreen Glass Inventory slots: 2 Chance to find: Common, ~4% ________________________________________ Jerry Can Inventory slots: 3 Chance to find: Common, ~4% in Industrial buildings and ~6% in barns and farms. Jerry Can refuels 20 liters of fuel and can be refilled at fuel tanks on gas stations and sometimes near long barns. Wheeled vehicles repair Minimal set of repair parts to make wheeled vehicle work is 4 "Car Wheels" (2 for bikes) and 1 "Jerry Can", this will let you drive the vehicle, but beware, having broken engine (ENG icon in top left) will burn your car along with anyone inside after few minor bumps or bullet hits, driving such vehicle is suicidal. To repair engine you obviously need "Engine Parts" which is quite difficult to find but will make your vehicle fully usable. Rest of repair parts on wheeled vehicles are "Fueltank Parts" and "Scrap Metal" (used to repair body) but these are mostly optional though having broken fuel tank will make your car leak fuel after bullet hits. As it mentioned before installing "Windscreen Glass" (you usually need several of these) is completely optional and will not give your car anything other than visual changes. Lets summarize: Required: - Car Wheels (х4 or х2 for bikes) - Jerry Can Strongly recommended: - Engine Parts Advised to have: - Fueltank parts - Scrap metal (to repair Body) Optional: - Windscreen Glass (several of these) Naval vehicles repair Placeholder Aerial vehicles repair Placeholder Usage of vehicles Where and how vehicles spawn Placeholder Speed and passability Placeholder Inventory space Most vehicles in the game can hold certain amount of items. This feature is extremely useful and important in DayZ. Inventory capacity is depicted on vehicles images in M/W/B format. M stands for magazines, W is weapons and B is backpacks. Magazines include ammo, medicaments, food, repair parts, etc. Weapons include guns, binoculars, NVGs, maps, other tools from bottom section of inventory Backpacks are backpacks. Beware, if you put backpack with some items inside into vehicle, backpack will become empty after server restart. For example, 50/10/2 will mean that vehicle can hold up to 50 magazines, 10 weapons and 2 backpacks which is 62 separate items in total.

Wanna know what loot you will be able to find in certain building or where best loot spawns? If so, then here is something for you: http://picacid.com/arma2/loot_en.html Tables will be updated with each new update, more info and pictures for each loot item are coming soon. Enjoy.

Updated to 1.7.2 http://picacid.com/arma2/loot_en.html

Are you sure it was normal house and not Deer Stand or Fire Station? But yes, PDW is ordinary weapon.

Winchester against zombies (1 shot kill) Enfield against players (1 shot kill)

PMC: Default survivor textures BAF: Ghillie, Camo skins. L85A2, AS50 guns. Don't forget that this is not a texture pack, its a DLC with lots of vehicles, guns, units, new campaign. It doesn't hurt performance.

You can access it in two ways: 1) Sit on passenger, scroll mouse, press Gear 2) Sit anywhere, open map, press Units, press Gear

The most annoying thing is when random rubbish appears right when you smash into it, it is literally invisible until you hit it.

Updated to 1.7.1

Its custom sound commands (or sometimes called sound macros), anyone can put any sound in and play it for everyone to hear. Such people are annoying and abusing this might get them a punishment.

There is ArmA 2 Free to try, download it (1,5 gb, available on Steam as Demo) and test it out on various graphical settings, if it runs fine (it definitely should with such PC), then you are good to go for buying the game and joining into DayZ and other ArmA 2 activities.

Even if you will not like DayZ this much, there are TONS of content in ArmA 2 + Arrowhead, various gamemodes, big servers with sandbox missions, other mods, not to mention there is a campaign which can be played in coop, campaign is pretty dull though. Game is very hard and will kick you in the nuts a lot at first but it gets SO rewarding like nothing else when you get used to controls and will start feeling that you know what you do.

Weapon is definitely cheated, I wouldn't recommend to take it, it will get deleted from you pretty soon anyway and you might face consequences as well. Just take legit stuff from the body and hide it.

Find one, or steal one. Mostly vehicles are taken so you need to be pretty lucky to find unoccupied one.

Posted inventory info into thread

Updated guide with new vehicles

Just were on EU64 with friend and we both got killed. I looked into chat lots of "was killed" scrolled by, everyone died at once. Server: EU64 ( http://arma2.swec.se/server/data/241514 ) Time: 8:38am GMT Event: Everyone got killed at once We will really appreciate if you could restore our characters, here are IDs: 9109510 (Sa-Matra) 4285888 (marcsimus!) Thanks. Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/pyH8y.jpg

Oh and I love An-2, I even was inside working one once as a kid (noise scared the shit out of me and I asked my dad to stay on the ground)

there is a huge problem with aircraft in arma 2 - they are not as detailed as helicopters, they don't have separate engine hit point, turbines\propellers\rotors\etc., they only have Hull. And this is the problem - you don't need to repair it, it will always be usable right away (with fuel).

Outstanding

A small wish (apart from big long time wish requested by shitload of people): Add 30Rnd_545x39_AK into military loot piles.
