Vehicles & Repair

Introduction

This guide will address every possible aspect of vehicles in DayZ. Why do you need vehicles? Obviously to transport yourself from point A to point B faster and usually safer than on foot. Vehicles also serve as storage space and can hold good amount of items in them, making them a must have for any serious organized group of survivors in DayZ.

Repair requirements and repair parts

Each vehicle will require certain set of parts applied on it to make it functional. Some parts like "Engine Parts" are essential while other like "Windscreen Glass" are completely optional and only provide visual change.

Repair parts types

All vehicle parts are found within Industrial buildings which range from large factories to small industrial shacks. The only exception is Jerry can which along with Industrial buildings can be found in farms and barns. Here is complete list of vehicle repair parts available in DayZ:

________________________________________

Inventory slots: 6

Chance to find: Common, ~6%

Scrap Metal

Jerry Can

Inventory slots: 3

Chance to find: Common, ~4% in Industrial buildings and ~6% in barns and farms.

Jerry Can refuels 20 liters of fuel and can be refilled at fuel tanks on gas stations and sometimes near long barns.

Wheeled vehicles repair

Minimal set of repair parts to make wheeled vehicle work is 4 "Car Wheels" (2 for bikes) and 1 "Jerry Can", this will let you drive the vehicle, but beware, having broken engine (ENG icon in top left) will burn your car along with anyone inside after few minor bumps or bullet hits, driving such vehicle is suicidal. To repair engine you obviously need "Engine Parts" which is quite difficult to find but will make your vehicle fully usable. Rest of repair parts on wheeled vehicles are "Fueltank Parts" and "Scrap Metal" (used to repair body) but these are mostly optional though having broken fuel tank will make your car leak fuel after bullet hits. As it mentioned before installing "Windscreen Glass" (you usually need several of these) is completely optional and will not give your car anything other than visual changes. Lets summarize:

Required:

- Car Wheels (х4 or х2 for bikes)

- Jerry Can

Strongly recommended:

- Engine Parts

Advised to have:

- Fueltank parts

- Scrap metal (to repair Body)

Optional:

- Windscreen Glass (several of these)

Inventory space

Most vehicles in the game can hold certain amount of items. This feature is extremely useful and important in DayZ. Inventory capacity is depicted on vehicles images in M/W/B format. M stands for magazines, W is weapons and B is backpacks.

Magazines include ammo, medicaments, food, repair parts, etc.

Weapons include guns, binoculars, NVGs, maps, other tools from bottom section of inventory

Backpacks are backpacks. Beware, if you put backpack with some items inside into vehicle, backpack will become empty after server restart.

For example, 50/10/2 will mean that vehicle can hold up to 50 magazines, 10 weapons and 2 backpacks which is 62 separate items in total.

Good to see this one back. Stickied. :)

[Abbot 9]

Very happy to see this is back. I forgot though, what do the numbers mean in the inventory slots?

[GreyHunt 1]

Great guide thanks dude :)

[Leftnut FoE 0]

Awesome to see it's back !!

A friend and I recently came across several vehicles (that were already usable), but the status indicators showed they were in bad shape.

We tried to get scrap metal, wheels, fuel tank parts, and windscreens to repair it, we used up quite a lot of materials, but the status indicators never changed, and visually there was nothing different on the vehicle. Fueling up did work fine though.

found Tractor today.... one seat only, loud and slow.

[beginner 4]

Finally this guide back. Nice job. Waiting for update.

[Disgraced 1123]

Does the UAZ really have 7 seats? We had one ingame and it had 3 seat slots in the back and 2 in the front.

When reffering to inventory space what does 50/20/2 mean? Does it have 50 slots but only 2 for a certain item, say bags?

Also the landrover is classed as "millitary offroad" ingame but is a Defender 110 in real life. Dont want to be finnicky but the other ones have real names.

Good guide

[ImaffoI 22]

This is good stuff, i hope the new cars are added soon, i found a mini-van of some sorts,no idea if there is more.

[FreedomTea 9]

There's also a video of some guy rolling about in a tractor somewhere on the forums

[belgarionnl 22]

what about his vehicle:

how much can this carry since we found one?

[Disgraced 1123]

Boats are really 0/0/0??

[Bat (DayZ) 230]

The thread would need an update, now there are bikes, tractor, a van and the truck mentioned above. And yeah just came across a clan of bandits with a truck like that, totally cool :)

[CommanderBoiled 1]

what do these inventory specifications like 50/10/2 mean?

[beginner 4]

what do these inventory specifications like 50/10/2 mean?

First number its how many items like bottles, cans or ammo mags you can store. The second one its how many guns u can store. And the last one its backpacks.

Considering how buggy as hell ATVs are I'd change their off-road passability to worst. Riding over bridges or small rocks can make you do front flips and once your ATV flips on its side, that's it, it's useless. They really need to add a feature to flip the ATV over. Even if it just magically makes it upright with no animation, it's be a lot more realistic than it becoming completely useless once flipped.

I lost 3 ATVs due trying to fip over ATV. So my best advice - leave it and wait for server restart.

[Stormgarde 4]

I noticed driving across dams (flat surface wide enough to be a road) will damage vehicles (including the bike, I almost broke my bike!!!!) as you move along them. Also moving in large buildings such as warehouses or the big brown long barns will do the same. This pretty much means you can't drive into them get out, let the zed-heds spawn while you are in cover.
