agarwood 0 Posted July 24, 2012 Hello, I just started playing and I can't figure out how to melee. Maybe there isn't a melee button, but i start with no weapon and no way to defend against anything.From what I was reading, you should start with a pistol and ammo? Plus, do you normally have to wait 10-25 mins for the loading screen?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M O N S T E R 599 Posted July 24, 2012 What you read must have been old - you no longer start with weapons. Find a barn, they usually have hatchets and crappy guns that spawn frequently.And yes, the loading is eternal.-MONSTER Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zDevon 6 Posted July 24, 2012 Most of the loading problems have been fixed, and you should get in any server with a relatively nice ping pretty quickly. When you find a melee weapon (hatchet or crowbar), right click on it in your toolbelt to move it to your main weapon slot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aguinn99 1 Posted July 24, 2012 When you get a melee weapon, press the "R" key to "Reload" it. Seriously. You need to to use it. (Not sure why lol). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
derailed000 20 Posted July 24, 2012 Check the thread "Index of Helpful Threads" you can find about any information you need about DayZ. Good luck out there. The time it takes to enter a server depends on server load and location of it. Try finding one close very you live. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
