brettuk 1 Posted August 23, 2012 Hey,Im pretty new to Dayz but I just had my first game and I am truly a noob. I started off with no weapons and 10 seconds later, zombies started running at me and I ran for atleast 10minutes and they are still behind me.I have a couple questions:How do I get weapons?How do I switch to third person view?I've checked the key bindings, doesnt say anything about the view.

Max Planck 7174 Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) Some servers do not have 3rd person enabled.If zombies are after you, try running up hills, through houses and around houses. When they lose line of sight, start sneaking. Edited August 24, 2012 by Max Planck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slartibartfast (DayZ) 77 Posted August 24, 2012 Find an online map.When you log in watch the bottom right corner it will tell you roughly where you are.Learn how to crawl on your belly like the noob you are. Zeds have a hard time finding you then.Barns are your best bet for starter gear, the Winchester rocks but try to only use your side arm when there are loads of zeds around.Always try for head shots.Use the 7 marksmanship principles.Remember to breathe.Search the bodies of your zed victims.Trust no-one!
