SirGunman 1 Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) Hello survivors,It's been a few months (well, really two) since I've played DayZ and I'm planning to play again this week. However, I've been gone for that long that I fear to have missed a LOT of updating, fixing, tipsy turny stuff.Not asking for a list of all the updates etc, only to request some common tips for today's gameplay on DayZ so I'll look better than my friend who will be coming back to play more... He's not really better, just got a kill on his first go when I hadn't got any kill despite playing the game for ages back then but anyway, back to the main topic...Just give me some tips that relate to these new updates and I'll be on my way. Thanks and beans be with you!-SirGunman Edited June 6, 2013 by SirGunman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KA4LxTITANx 8 Posted June 10, 2013 Okay so basically the "new" stuff you missed is mostly just new guns and many minor things. A couple big things though is that you can be hit while in a car by zeds, they can also break your windscreen glass. Also zombies now spawn in a town even when you drive in in a car (previously people would drive into a town and see zeds and know they werent theirs since they cant spawn). And last thing, zombies now spawn in open fields as well. Now as for tips im not sure really like you dont have to play the game too differently. But here are some of my general tips:-Don't run straight into towns-If you are in a high chance pvp zone (elektro, cherno, nwaf, etc.) try as best as possible to not aggro any zeds-Crouch run in towns and shift walk across roads that way you dont get any zeds on you because as a sniper i would be scanning the town seeing zeds knowing someone was there and my first thing would be to just scan for angry zeds and thats how i would find people. If you sneak through towns you can avoid detection and get out alive. I once survive scavenging cherno for an entire hour and was not once discovered by 2 snipers on the large industrial building and 3 more in the woods. Its quite easy to evade snipers if they see you too-If you are spotted by another player and you want to get away or get the advantage on a fire fight heres what to do: If they are right up close just spray and pray theres not much strategy there, but if you spot someone say 50-100m away and they dont see you, all you need to do is to slowly sneak your way closer in ways they cannot see you while you can monitor over/next to a wall in third person and just stalk them for a while and strike when they are in a spot where they have little to no escape routes and while have the hardest time spotting you and lining up shots before you kill them. Now if they see you. my advice is to run behind a building as if you were fleeing but stop right behind the wall, and watch to see what way they run, than just think if you were that person where would you be expecting you (fleeing) to run and just go the opposite way to catch your pursuer off guard and most like drop him before he even hears the shots. -last bit of pvp advice. if you ever see someone and they dont see you and if they are running and you need to get the kill quick, always go for their legs and make them break their legs that way if you dont kill them instantly they dont run around the corner knowing you are there and being able to counter you. Break their legs and dont keep shooting. Break their legs and re-position quickly and finish him. -Last tip: id say just play smart and plan your routes ahead of time and if you go somewhere very pvp active then just stop and think: "if i were a guy who wanted to stay here and kill people where would i go and where would i least expect people to come from" and go there and try to oust your killers before they even know you are there. Good Luck! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
