Any Tips for a noob

[desiredfx@gmail.com 0]

Hi guys. after watching videos for a month and some live streams i decided to get the game and i have enjoyed it.

I normally play games like battlefield 3 so this was a nice break from the chaos to a different kind of chaos.

all in all its been fun.

I do have a few questions and I did look for them and they sorta got answered.

last night i was in a game that had side chat enabled and it was pretty fun, today i noticed that i could find a server with that feature.

i read that the feature was disabled so was it disabled by the dev team are is that something that the server admins can control per server.

also is there a thread that list players to look out for?

today i was doing really well had lost of ammo and decent weapons and i spotted 2 guys so i yelled out friendly and they said yea.

well after a moment i went down to them to see if they needed anything and they said they were doing ok. then pow, shot in the head lost everything..

Long story short. The Bandit names were. I will put a bounty on their heads if need be and we can hunt them down like dogs.

there names were:

Trojanbear

TiddlyWinks

Thanks guys & stay safe

Or, as he said he just started playing. Who knows...

But I'm not sure about the topic name, Desiredfx. Yo say you need some tips, yet you type something entirely different in your post.

Get used to running a lot hehe.

Oh and it always helps to play the military bit of arma2 to get used to handling guns and shooting at long ranges.

Go through the "boot camp" in ArmA 2. And play a LOT

Players to look out for:

Bad Uncle Bob - he will team up with people in Cherno and starting areas, roll with you all night and wait till its same and shoot you in the back. Heard he has a youtube channel and records it all. Saw him in a server, there was 6 of us, 3 of us logged out and the 2 that stayed said he tried to kill them after.

Tips:

Stay low in cities, crouch/walk alot. Low and slow in the cities will lower the range zombies can see and hear you.

While travelling around stay near forests or in tree lines, especially during the day.

Best time to loot cities is dusk and dawn, you still get the advantage for it being night vs zombies sight range, but you can still see clearly without cranking your gamma or NVG's

Remember if you think people are out to get you, you will be right almost all the time.

1) Side chat is server dependant (they should have it in the server name if CH:on or CH:off)

2)In DayZ, everyone is a bandit. So really if you see anyone, you might as well avoid them completely, or kill them first.\

and there is no active bandit list, because everyone technically is a bandit.
