joe_taylor1991@live.com 5 Posted July 7, 2012 I've just started playing dayZ today and I'm really struggling to stay alive. With no weapon at all i find it really difficult to actually stay alive and move from one area to another without a fucking zombie finding me and killing me. Is there any chance someone could join me in a game or even just give me some advice ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madfast 22 Posted July 7, 2012 Crawl inside towns, avoid the big towns. Look for barns and deer stands they often have a weapon in and there are less zombies and players near them. And if you must walk near the coast get into the forest just off them, just watch out for nooblets sniping at new spawns from there. Also if a zombie sees you the best way to break line of sight run through 2 bushes, then crouch walk. The first bush breaks line of sight but the zombie will still run through it, as you now have a second one between you it wont regain line of sight and as you are crouched and moving slowly it wont hear you and come crashing through.

joe_taylor1991@live.com 5 Posted July 7, 2012 That's some great advice thank you! :) I was wondering why people were looking at my post and not posting back haha. Is it true that if you go in the forest there are no zombies at all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So whilst they are fewer structures away from town you will still get zombies near, for example, deer stands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nuingaer 0 Posted July 8, 2012 At the start, get off the coast immediately. A good bet is to head north and then after not too long, start heading north-eastish (depending on your location). Avoid the north-west of the map at all costs unless you have gotten experienced, well equipped and hopefully in a group to watch your back.Find some barns to loot - generally easy to sneak (crawl if you have to) into them. Most will have a hatchet unless they have been previously looted. Once you have the hatchet, you're good as gold. Currently however you can break your leg quite often by being hit by zombies - so get to know that range of the hatchet. You should be able to hit them before they get into range (the range of the hatchet is quite far - practice by slow crawling up to zombies and then start wacking once they are a few metres from you). Most of the time it is one hit kill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
