A vibrator.

[Osaka (DayZ) 32]

Currently, and usually,

at least 3 or 4 bandages at all times, all but one in backpack

2 Morphine, of which one in backpack

1911 and clips, usually 3 or 4 at hand, shotgun primairy, sniper-rifle or crossbow in backpack.

And always 2 food (usually steak) and 2 drinks with me. Whenever I find food or drinks I can't carry I use them regardless of the need, and swap them.

My toolbelt is always full of things I probably don't need, but also a hatchet for getting woodpiles as it doesn't take space in your toolbelt I might as well carry it along.

Binoculars ofcourse, I'm still searching for better ones though, haven't found any yet.

I also don't have the GPS yet. I wonder where I might get some the easy way.

M4A1 Holo M203

2 HE, 1 White Smoke, 1 White Flare

4 Bandages

2x cooked meat

2x water bottle

8x STANAG 30rd

2x Morphine

1x Blood Bag

1x Painkillers

1x Epi Pen

1x Heat Pack

2x Chemlight (Blue)

Everyone running low amounts of ammo:

Take this word of advice from a seasoned arma player, when getting in firefights 10 x 30rd Magazines is an optimal amount of ammo to continue fighting for an extended period of time

3x 30rd Magazines is when you should be seeking resupply.

In DayZ 6 would be an acceptable amount, running around with 3 mags is a good way of finding yourself in a firefight with no ammo.

[DR@GON (DayZ) 20]

I use whatever I can find, and try to be good with any weapon... That being said, here are my "rules" of what to look for on a fresh spawn... upgrade from here.

Alice Pack

3 water bottles (2 in backpack)

tools to gut & cook animals

map & compass (I know the map pretty well now and can go without if need be)

ghillie or camo clothes if I can find it, can take a while to find = risk of being pk'd

med supplies... 4 bandages / 3 morphine / 3 blood bags / 1 epi / 2 painkillers / as many antibiotics as I can find (they are rare)

I keep 1 of each on me for quick use, the rest in the backpack for teammates to grab

Primary weapons... Ideally I want a full auto capable AR w/ 3-4 mags & a scoped weapon (hopefully w/ adjustable zero) w/ 3-4 mags.

Side arm = I like the G17 cos it loads clips for M9 (including M9 SD), and you can split off several other mags into use-able ammo for the G17... also it has a flashlight and high capacity mags... 4 mags carried

Philosophy... make due is rule #1, it's a survival game not CoD where you spawn in with your ideal load out... I dont bother carrying 2 guns that fill the same role unless a buddy needs something and I've got room. I generally stay away from shotguns cos I fight at mid to long range usually and even up close, a full auto AR is better than a shottie imo... but again make due... the winchester is a great gun, prob best shottie due to 15 round capacity. Also, I find the primary weapons that use 9mm to be lacking in stopping power. Unless they are silenced I'd say not worth it generally, but I like to put someone down asap if I have to, so I like the big damage guns if I can find them. Unless I have a silenced primary, I use my sidearm for killing zed's & animals, and the primary is for players. This is just a general rule however, if SHTF, do what you gotta do lol.

Best all around guns imo are the M14 AIM or the DMR (M14 with scope). Sure they have flaws, but I almost always roll with semi auto even if the gun can go full or burst, so the "semi-auto only" of the M14's in this game is fine by me. DMR mags are pretty common at military spawn spots & soldier zombies. The damage is fantastic... 8000 per hit right now on paper. The FAL is a great gun also (same damage, but can do burst fire), HOWEVER... I have been unable to find ammo for it outside a chopper crash, so if you find one, make sure it has enough ammo to replace whatever you're swapping for, unless you hunt choppers a lot you may not see ammo for it again for a long time.

Best "poor man's gun" is the AKM imo... you can find them fairly easy, ammo is pretty common, 30 round mags, and you can re-zero the sights for longer range, and I think it has the most damage per bullet of any full auto capable gun. The M4's and M16's are nice too, a little less damage, but generally nicer sights (I actually prefer the irons on AK's), but the M4's & 16's often spawn with optic upgrades. The M4 CCO or the M16 ACOG are both awesome. The M16 ACOG can fill a sniping role sorta if you learn how to use the scope, and can be 1 gun that fills both roles... it can only do semi or burst tho.

An advantage of the M4's & M16's is they can fire SD mags (fairly common loot)...the Zeds will react to them as if they are fired from a silenced weapon, but players will hear it like normal... or so I understand it. I've experimented with this and it SEEMS to be accurate, but dont hold me to it :P

Well yes, but only if you can't aim and shoot. I don't generally carry too much ammunition, because I don't plan to shoot everything I see. In fact I will barely use any ammo at all except for in my secondary shooting Zeds. My primary ammo is usually the same after a mission as it was before, unless I get into a situation with bandits, and then I choose my shots rather than firing an entire clip because I saw something move. This isn't a fast-paced shooter, it is a survival game. Carrying 10 magazines of one type of ammo leaves me very little room to carry anything else of particular use. Such as blood-bags for if you and your friend get shot, carrying only one is a sure way to end up passing out at the most inopportune moment, with no way of restoring lost blood other than slowly eating cooked meat, which your also carrying a small amount of.

[miket 92]

An assault rifle (M4A3 CCO preferred)

5x STANAG in main inventory plus 2 in backpack

M9 SD or M1911 + 4 second magazines

2 M67 frags

1 Smoke

3 food

2 water bottles

2 Epipen - 1 in backpack and one in main inventory

2 Morphine - 1 in backpack and one in main inventory

2 Painkillers - 1 in backpack and one in main inventory

4 bandages

2 bloodbags, usually in backpack.

All the toolbelt items I can find

ALICE Pack most of the time by Coyote Backpack when I can find it

NVG's when available.

Binoculars or Rangefinder

The reason I do the 1 in main one in backpack thing is because it allows me to quickly heal team mates, but also allows my team-mates to grab things from my pack and heal me if I go down and they're out of supplies.

I agree, I love that it's not just a combat game, imo carrying 6-10 mags worth of ammo is just going to resupply whoever kills me lol... also, no way in hell I'm sticking around long enough to fire that many mags, unless I've got some serious backup... and if I do, they've got guns & ammo too, no need for me to be emptying out the armory on a trigger happy 4th of july fireworks show.

I often ditch ammo for other supplies when I'm limited on space.

You realise both of those are hacked weapons?
