My Beginners Guide

[Rudson (DayZ) 61]

Hello fellow Bandits and Survivors!

I am playing the game for about 8 days. I love the game and so I want to share my toughts about it and i am trying to give new players some advice.

First of all it is important to know:

-Every Player you meet is an survivor but some of them are also bandits!-

There is nothing implemented to show the ethos of other players.

Basic Rules to stay alive:

- Know your keybindings and get used to it!

- Never play alone. Try to find players here on the forums or play with friends.

- Never run on streets, if possible stay completly away from them.

- Never take a risk for loot, if you are not sure if a zombie will notice you always prone (lying on the ground)

- Avoid other players and never sneak upon other players unless you want to kill them.

Step by Step:

As in reallife your char has needs. You see them in your interface on the right side, if you don´t find something to drink and eat in time you will start to suffer till you begin bleeding what leads to death.

When you first start the game or die during a session you will always start / restart somewhere at the coast. The first thing you should look for is of course some item for selfdefens against any threat. Items and Guns can be found all over the map in buildings, dearstands and so on.

-Rule of thumb: the bigger the building the more loot can spawn in there-

After you found a weapon you should look for the main survival tools!

- Map

- knife ( for gutting animlas)

- hatchet (making wood for campfire)

- compass (selfexplaining "i hope")

- matches (also needed to make a fire)

- waterbottle ( can be filled at lakes or fountains etc. )

- binoculars

Note: most of this things can be found at the supermarket.

Now you have everything to stay alive without the need to visit a city again.

The rest i will leave up to you! But some further advice:

- The bigger the city the more survivers / bandits and zombies will be there.

- With better equipment you become an more interesting target for other survivers and bandits.

- Don´t play like a christian or a gentleman. God has already left Chernarus.

Morality: You should have noticed by know that a destinction is drawn between Survivors and Bandits.

I say thats bullshit! and if you think, you will never kill an other survivor, no matter what happens, you are wrong. I was once thinking that way, got me killed pretty often.

Thats it. feel free to comment and add usefull beginner tipps.

so long Rudson aka Ocelot.

If you are going to write a guide, you could at the very least spell out your words.

I stopped reading at the first "U"
