Frissy 31 Posted July 12, 2012 The videos are in an older version of DayZ. The starting pistol was taken out a couple updates ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruoton 0 Posted July 13, 2012 you dont start with a pistol, but you can sneak into buildings (high value barns are nice) and find a hatchet or a shotgun usually and now youre set to go, I find that this map is quite helpful http://dayzdb.com/map Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youSOB 5 Posted July 13, 2012 I just keep dying every time i spawn. Every video i have found about the learning the game they have a makarov pistol.What i'm i doing wrong?How to survive. 1. Crouch or prone on spawn depending on your level of paranoia. I prone then crawl to where I can see my surroundings. 2. Looks clear? Yes then crouch and run away from the ocean. Head north. Avoid contact with everything and keep huge distance from any humanoid living or dead. 3. Avoid big cities. at least until you have a good rifle. 4. Search for barns and deer huts. Loot them all for firearms and then really useful hatchet. 5. Now you are no longer totally helpless. 6. Now you can start raiding towns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
