Freeker 1 Posted August 8, 2012 So I've been playing for a few days. The first two, I died a lot. I mean A LOT. Most of the deaths came from mistakingly trusting someone for more than 5 seconds. The others came from those damned Olympic runner zombies that chase you until you die of thirst or they catch you. I found one gun, some Pepsi and no food. Then it happened....I managed to learn enough and stay alive long enough to get myself armed and get the equipment I needed to keep myself alive. Once this happened I just ran as far as I could north. At one point, I got some zombies on me and ended up with about 1000 blood. It was dark, raining and I was in the middle of a forest alone. I had a blood pack but no one to use it on me and no map to tell someone where I was. All I knew was that I made sure the compass said north and ran. My vision was blurry and I knew I needed to get my blood back up ASAP so I chopped a tree and headed out to a field. I was passing out once in a while so I knew I didn't have much time....I needed to find an animal. Im up on a little hill and I see some movement in the distance. Getting a little closer I see more movement.....its a sheep!!! I toss my wood on the ground and start gutting my kill. The meat gets me to about 5000 blood, enough to find another animal or two and stock up. I run west to another field and spot 2 more sheep. My blood is back to 12000 now and I'm ready to continue my adventure. I have never played a game that has taken me to the point of writing a forum post about killing and eating a sheep. I can describe this to anyone else and they wouldn't think much of it...yea so what I killed a sheep and ate it. Only people that have played dayz can understand. I can't wait to see what other situations I end up in. This game/mod is amazing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zerokyruu 5 Posted August 8, 2012 Trust me. That's my survival tactic right there. I only go back to major cities to restock on ammo and medical crap.Good job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

herrjon 478 Posted August 8, 2012 My only problem now is finding ammo and med supplies again. I have no clue where I am :PWell, you can use an online map, or pray you find random meds in your next town. Hospitals are only on the coast though, if you wanted a sure thing. Ammo is everywhere, but look for barns and deer stands.Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
