Help guys.

So I've just got Arma 2 and the dayz mod. Loaded the game and seem to be by the sea. No idea what to do after that. I've plaid games like 7 days and rust but just need some help here. Also with the controls as can't work out things like inventory or map if there is one. And is there a decent server to use for a new player. Thanks guys. Sorry about such a noob questions.

If you're playing the mod, try this forum: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/forum/6-dayz-mod/

The one you've posted in is for the standalone version.

First off this is the Standalone forum. :)

 

Here's the DayZ mod forum I've reported the thread and asked a moderator to move your thread there. Not to be a bastard, but you'll get more responses from mod players there.

 

I played the mod for hundreds of hours, but after buying the Standalone, I've never looked back and seriously, I can't recall much from the mod.

 

I think G for Gear opens your inventory.

 

M for map, but you have to find a map somewhere first.

 

You first objective should simply be to move off the beach, begin to search the area and learn which types of buildings are enterable. Where there are zombies, there are usually enterable buildings, where there are enterable buildings, there are usually loot.

 

And yes the DayZ mod inventory is unintuitive and hard to learn. ;)

You can find a list of controls in the options menu.

 

G = Gear/inventory

M = Map (if you've found one)
