Blindrage3 0 Posted April 1, 2013 I am very new to the game and need a lot of help if someone is on and wouldn't mind teaching me the ropes and everything. I found a hunting knife but i guess you can't use it to kill zombies?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trizzo 632 Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) Aww such a cute, cute bambi. Welcome to the the most impactful gaming experience you will have. But to answer your question....You use the knife to gut animals for food and which replenishes blood. But you might get infection from uncooked food. So you need matches to start a fire. But you need a hatchet to cut trees in the woods to make a fire (unless you find an oil drum). But you can only find the hatchet in certain spawns (but its quite common) And you need to press G to open you bag, right click to hatchet to equip to hand. So now you found the hatchet you might need a map to find where you are going. And you also need morphine and bandages in case you get injured along the way because broken legs suck. But you also need water because you will get thirsty along the way. And you also need to boil the water to prevent infection. But you need an empty tin can (found in loot piles) to combine with a fire and a full bottle of water to get boiled water.This is problem with asking what to do! I could go on for hours...Joking aside you need to play the game and watch some tutorials online. You can't be told what to do. There is to much and too many aspects to be consice without overwhlelming you. Experience, tutorials, experience, tutorials, experience. Play ArmA2, get used to the controls/shooting/driving then play dayz. I suggest you watch "Loot Runs or Fresh Spawn Runs" you'll get a good idea of what to do when you spawn.Follw this link for my out of context guideFollw this link for my guideFollw this link for a loot Edited April 1, 2013 by Trizzo 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I found a hunting knife but i guess you can't use it to kill zombies??I'm over in Cherno, usually hanging out on the tall building. Wait by the supermarket and I'll come to you... give you all the help you need.Also, I might be able to exchange that hunting knife for something with a little more bite. Just wave when you get there. Edited April 1, 2013 by codestargod Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bulletgaming012 12 Posted April 1, 2013 Codestargod your mean.Ignore him dude, he will snipe you from the hill on the outskirts. Nasty bandit you (waving index finger as saying it)My suggestion is go and explore. That's part of the experience. Find you favorite loot runs. Little nuggets will start coming your way and you will be sooooo much more exited funding them on your own than following a guide, at least that's my opinion, others may vary. Good luck and happy surviving! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meeshe 170 Posted April 1, 2013 Find a hatchet, it kills Zeds Good :DHold onto the hunting knife though as it will allow you to gut animals, after you've killed them with a hatchet, for meat that you can cook. Very useful when you get low on health and don't have someone with you to bloodbag ya. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
