I recently installed DayZ but I'm not very good at it. I can't seem to find my way around the map and I can never find good weapons. If anyone wants to team up to help me out I would really appreciate it. So if you want to team up to help me let me know

I can't seem to find my way around the map.

 

Enjoy this feeling while it lasts.

Lol me neither.

I'll share some wisdom I have, but cherish the feeling of being lost for now :)


Learn the Russian alphabet, or at least remember the city names, here's a handy map for Chernarus, it's got all the sweet spots.

I used to turn it on using the Steam web browser and orient myself using that, but you can always find a map in game as well..

 

You can get good weapons from Firestations such as MP5's, M4A1's, shotguns and AK's, maybe AKM. You can find shotguns and pistols at the supermarket + food , backpacks and drinks and whatnot.

Thanks a lot! But is there any way to steer clear of zombies easier or at least get a server with a small zombie count? Embarrassingly they sometimes are my biggest problem...

Run through trees and bushes to lose them faster or jump over fences, never agro zombies if you can, crawling might take a while but its better than being zombie chow.

Run through buildings. Zombies can't run inside.

To whomever posted the link to the DayZ.DB website, shame on you. I will say and everyone will agree that you just ruined the true DayZ feeling for any new players that looked at that website.. Must be so proud of yourself.

"I can't seem to find my way around the map"

"I need help."

I gave him what he asked for, a better orientation around the map. Whether you think that's a bad idea, helping someone out, or not is just your opinion, because it obviously doesn't bother them and it wouldn't bother me if someone had showed me the website when I first played the game. There's nothing wrong in having orientation.

EDIT: Also, if you think that I ruined a game because I simply gave them a map, you're sadly mistaken because the game itself is more than just a map with loot spots. There's much more to be excited about when playing, and they will still have a hard time orienting themselves with that map.

If your definition of having fun in game is just about orientation and maybe finding loot easier, then I just feel sorry for you.

 

 

On Topic:

To avoid zombies try running through pine trees, the ones that are a bit lower so you can pass through the leaves, it will make the zombies walk.

Also, run through a building or over a bridge and it will make them walk as well.

 

Run up a hill, well, when I say run I mean walk up a hill, you'll walk much faster and they will slow down.
