NoobZ survival guide.

[King of kong 1117]

Hello noobs, welcome to King of kong's epic survival guide, i will share my survival tactics and hopefully help you survive chernarus.



Enemies: This section will teach you how to avoid/combat enemies in Arma 2: DayZ

Infected: These are the inhabitants of chernarus, they have been infected by an unknown virus which causes a hunger for humans. These lovely individuals can be killed like a normal human, so head shot's are not advised unless the infected slow down when you lure them into buildings. Being hit by an infected may cause you to bleed (Signified by spurting blood) if you bleed you will need a bandage, bandages will often be in your inventory when you spawn.

Escape and evade: The infected can be avoided by crouching (X) or proning (Z) this will greatly reduce visibillity (Indicated in top right corner of your screen), if the infected detect you they will shriek and moan and become agitated,itis advised that you forget stealth if you are detected.

Players: Many players will KOS in DayZ (kill on sight) so if possible you should avoid people at all times, if the opportunity presents itself you should ask if they are friendly (Only when you have a tactical advantage over them), players in scarfs or ghillie suits should be avoided at all costs.

Scavenging: A scavenger should always be wary in DayZ, this section will provide tips for novice scavengers.

Planing: When approaching a town, find a vantage point and watch for activity, if the infected are annoyed it often means there is a player about. When in said observaion point, plan a scavenge route, have a plan B and C, if possible have a friend provide overwatch.

Vehicles: When approaching a town such as chernogorsk, leave your vehicle in a forest a good way away from said location, anyone could hear the grumble of an engine and decide to investigate.

DO NOT: Run across open field's near cherno or elektro or airfield's, be wary of other players, even if they wear the hero skin that is not a confirmation that they are friendly, they may have earned it by healing their friends.

King of kong recommended loadout: M14/DMR 4 rations, 2 water bottles, map, compass, watch, GPS, matches, hunting knife, 4 bandage, 4 pistol ammo, unsilenced M9, military flashlight, 2 painkillers, 2 morphine auto injecters, 2 blood bag and flares. :beans: :beans: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:


Hope this helped.

Maybe this is 'noobZ survival guide: Bandit edition'?

[Wolfensteinsaurus 2252]

This is great...

maybe so, i don't think encouraging KoS to new players is really good though.

Ultimately, it isn't but people have their opinions about how things should be *yada yada*...

Sorry, i'm not trying to encourage KOS i'll edit that.

nono its totally fine, obv my play style is different, i find trying to interact with players far more exciting but its totally up to you what you write in your thread.

More people need to try not killing everything that moves. Granted, I haven't been playing very long, but I have not taken a single shot at another player even when given ample opportunity (and them being totally unaware of my presence). It's still been a great amount of fun. To each their own, but I would rather help people.

 

Also, I think from a strategy standpoint, new players might want to consider the knowledge advantage veteran players might have. If you go blasting away at someone, they could very well have friends who will gun you down or will be able to find you quickly after they respawn. So sometimes it might be in a noob's best interest to let sleeping does lie.

 

I will commend the point about crouching and prone. That is about the best tip ever. My first couple games I couldn't figure out how not to get attacked (I was upright running past everything). Once you start using crouch and prone, things get so much better.

my noob survival guide?

get a party bus and waste what ever comes in you way until you run out of fuel,then go get some more fuel and repeat.

nono its totally fine, obv my play style is different, i find trying to interact with players far more exciting but its totally up to you what you write in your thread.

I act after seeing what skin they have,if they are hero I never shoot on sight give them a chance,if they are a bandit I almost all ways kos,if it is a  Civilians then it depends on the area I am at and what gear they have,if in a city and they have a good gun then I avoid,if I see them being a bandit I kill them,if they have a ghillie  suit then I hide.

[BigChef 55]

,if they have a ghillie  suit then I hide.

Same here!

Banditry is just my play-style, i only kill when i need to, sometimes i try to make friends but they shoot at me, on some of the lower population servers like DayZ Last heroes you can make some really good friends, the admins are nice too.

There has been a sudden increase of trolls and morons on the forum, best to ignore anything that comes from them. lol

Yep...

OP forgot to mention one vital thing in order to survive chernarus.

Glitching: Never rush when going up/down ladders. Never go prone too close to a tree/heli/tent. Do not try to jump off the last 1-2-3 steps when going down stairs. Try to avoid walking on large rocks. Most of these situations will get you crippled/bleeding/passed out/dead eventually.

[King of kong 1117]

AND let's not forget, DON'T GO NEAR DA FECKING TREES!

nice guide i don't like the DMR myself as it makes you not place your shots with care and you tend to spam them so for sniping i find you become a better sniper with them M24 as it teaches you the value of every shot

Good, I like DMRS

You know what I also like?

Commas, absoloutly love them...

[Serious Stan 202]

You shouldnt avoid people at all times thats plain boring :)

Blood bags are unuseful without friend,you don't need GPS, Colt 1911 is better.
