Jlmbob   0 Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) Hi all, New guy player, how do I get better at DAYZ? I know that you will all say "die a lot" but so far that's all I'm doing 🙂 So far I have only played official servers. I get loot, I move further inland, I get better loot and someone that I can't ever see kills me. Doesn't make for much of a fun game 😞 If anyone has any tips, hints, or guidance, I would love to hear them. Many thanks, Jlmbob Edited July 20, 2022 by Jlmbob 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thundermight   43 Posted July 21, 2022 If you got shoot by someone you don't even see it's probably you are standing still in the wrong place.  Water pump is almost always camped by snipers. The few tips i can give you is to avoid roads, don't stay anywhere for longer than needed, be VERY aware of water pumps (mainly on near coast towns), don't make more noise than needed and if you absolutely need to shoot, move away asap, some people are friendly, but as a a rule, trust no one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure, I'll play. I suggest reading these forums, watching streamer videos, follow dayz twitter and other media channels provided by the front page. The internet is supersaturated with Dayz help videos. I have to assume this is a troll post/alt account. You already know that a survivor should move inland, but you ask the most basic question possible. Seems doubtful that you are a new player given that you are able to gear up and then move inland successfully. You've figured out infected and how to get over the survival hump. Basically, you've solved the game, mr. new player. Edited July 21, 2022 by Parazight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have watched a load of videos on YouTube, etc. I appreciate your comments MR. Bitter Veteran 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C0dgerz   0 Posted August 16, 2022 Hey Jimbob, I too have just started this game, only played 25 hours, so yes very new, watched a few tutorial videos on utube, but to be honest I just dont get what they are lootwise. I have died from starvation for the lack of a knife or even a second stone to craft one... for me a waste of money more than likely, I have never even seen another player, justs seems a bit boring to run around kill a few infected and then die to just start over.
