General Tips Thread

[Phil The Survivor 19]

I haven't seen one of these yet so i decided to make on.

Now i am not new to DayZ, but i'm sure their are people who have played longer and have a few tips.

So go ahead, share them.

My tip:

Never announce in chat you have Mountain Dew.

[dulix11 731]

Unless you are absolutely sure there is no one around, never run standing up.

 

Stay away from doors and gates, or was this fixed?

 

Never announce your meet up point in side chat -.-

[Inception. 9443]

Never drive a URAL full of people off of Pik Kozlovka. Unless you plan to die.

[mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416]

Don't "tap" the mouse when you're holding a grenade.

 

EDIT: Also. You must be in a forest or near a tree to harvest wood.

You dont ride bikes down the forest hill.

You dont try to jump off the firestation roof, down onto the fuel tank, unless you like ice skating and painfull fall.

You dont drive through the villages or cities even if you have Ural.

You dont alt tab out with gun in your hands.

Hide the body. 

 

Good tip for everyday life as well. ;)

[Steak and Potatoes 13480]

Never attempt to fly a helicopter under the Cherno skywalk drunk.

 

Never attempt intense parkour in a building over one story high.

 

Always drive as fast as you can through major cities with rubble and debris when experiencing lag.

 

Always pretend to be a police officer when encountering bandits.

 

Never attempt to shoot an enfield just for zombie attraction then switch to hatchet for kills.

 

Never attempt to hide in the back of a VW golf like Herbert the Pervert on Taviana, everyone has seen the video.

If you want to replace your backpack, first drop the old one. If you replace them directly, the old one can bug away.

If you drive an ATV, try to avoid bridges, as they can throw your quad in the air.

If you play on a Notebook, disable the touchpad! A random touch could cause a shot, which will scare the shit out of you. Happened to me often enough... :D

If you want to cook some meat, don't put the raw flesh into the "inventory" of the campfire...

Alt + F4 is a quick weapon change, switches between items really quick ;)

[wild_man 4442]

if guy have weapon and you don't need blood, don't think, shoot! :thumbsup: :ph34r:

[Deathwind (DayZ) 28]

Don't be afraid to KOS. If you think the situation calls, the measures are not drastic, its DayZ.

[Deathwind (DayZ) 28]

Also, you don't always have to be the friendly one.

[Dagwood 680]

If you leave a player the opportunity to take advantage of a situation, they will

[TheDesigner 1197]

Bullets ricochet. Don't shoot in front of your friend while he's running to you.

You'll both have a bad time.

[Frytek 130]

Never hestitate in dangerous situation. If you wont make a quick choice, youre done.

Dont underestimate zeds. They might be clumsy, but they can knock you out, break your legs, get you bleeding or infected.

[CornProducts 315]

Never attempt intense parkour in a building over one story high.

When are we going to finish that video?

 

+1 for the locations in side chat. That stuff drives me nuts, especially when every bandit and their moms show up and kill the poor bambi... and the bambi is surprised when their body is vaporized in a multi-bandit clan crossfire.

[NagsterTheGangster 388]

Still new but a hear the Enfield is called the "Dinner Bell" So avoid shooting that when possible.
