What i learnt

[PlasticAssasin8 (DayZ) 78]

Ive learnt that if you lure a zombie around into a doorway you have a very good chance of beating it up without damage as it cant get a run at you and flail those arms.

 

2 hits with a pickaxe.

4 hits with a can of beans.

 

Edit:

If you go into hypothermia, ( which i did) and you can wait out the rain do so even by running around and around in a barn or wharehouse. If you are full on food and drink  and it stops raining and you havent got a heat pack "run forest run".

I ran and ran when the rain stopped and when i logged out i saw the "healing " bar appear :D happy days.

Brass knuckles work wonder on the zombie horde , use the in doorway  tactic and they drop like flies. Just have to make sure you have an exit cos the dead bodies can block you.

 

Plus a question.

What do you do with all your stuff once you are totally full up hydrated fully and fed fully, can you stash it somewhere?

 

Cheers

What do you mean by your Question, Stash what?

[WizardLyfe 28]

Anything you want to keep, you have to keep on your character. Unless you find a tent. 

[Kaffarov37 125]

Well you can keep your stuff on your character, or hide it somewhere on a persistent server

[PlasticAssasin8 (DayZ) 78]

Ah, really a tent?

Thats kind of cool.

So to get this right, if i have a tent i can store my gear there.

 

I did see a guy putting his gear down as i was in a building and log off , was he trying to log and come get it again, i didn't think that would work. Is that what a persistent server means then.

 

Thanks all.

Yes, persistent servers will keep your dropped gear until a patch comes with a persistent item wipe on Wednesday morning (didn't wipe this week AFAIK).  Guns, backpacks and their contents, pelican cases, first aid kits, gasoline cans, and lime will all remain on the ground through a week of play on a persistent server.  Trucks will also remain where you park them, until moved by another player.  Bags and guns dropped inside trees and shrubs will sometimes be unavailable in the vicinity inventory screen, until the tree is chopped down.  Have fun building your nest-egg, the real challenge comes in deciding what to keep on Tuesday night.

Stash it in your stomach.

As soon as your energized bar is light green, you energy level is above 4'000, but it's maximum is 20'000, so as soon as you find something to eat --> eat it. Don't waste any inventory space on food, food is stored best in your body. Be careful with you stuffed status though.

With water the situation is a bit different. When the hydrated bar becomes light green you water level is above 3'500 but the maximum is only 4'000. So as soon as you reach light green hydrated, stop drinking and drink again when it's not light green anymore. Anything you drink which would exceed 4'000 hydration level is just lost. I usually drink all the soda cans I find right away because they don't provide much water but take up a lot of inventory space. For the long term water supply I usually keep 2 canteens in my inventory, which is enough to survive for a long time.

With this strategy I only need 4 inventory slots and I am nearly always hydrated and energized.
