NOOB SURVIVAL GUIDE

DAYZ SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR NOOBS!

(I assume you know the basic game controls)

PART 1: Holy crap where am I?

Okay , deep breath here, look at the bottom right hand corner of your screen as you spawn in, it’s going to be a weird name, try to remember it or write it down quick it’ll only be there for a matter of seconds. Now press ctrl alt delete and get to your internet browser and input this link:http://dayzdb.com/map#2.096.078

-Generally speaking your spawn point with be on the southern coast somewhere around the two major southern coastal cities of Cherno and Elektro. Find your location and head to the either Elektro or to Cherno whichever is closer.

Part 2: OMFG There are Zombies everywhere!!!!!

Slow your role now! Zombies should never be a worry as long as you can run they will never catch you unless you corner yourself, zig zagging in an around objects and buildings will cause them to stop chasing you, in cities you can either crawl or crouch to try and avoid detection, shooting a gun will cause noise and simply attract more zombies, if you have to fight a few use a silenced gun or a melee weapon. If there’s a horde , three or more chasing you run !

Part 3: Hey look over there, there are some other people maybe we can be friends : D !

Don’t even think about it you nooby, people unlike zombies will actually kill you, just to be jerks. I’ve died so many times from senseless ambushes and slaughters, when I had literally nothing on me! STAY THE HECK AWAY FROM OTHER HUMANS UNLESS YOU KNOW THEM PERSONALLY. This sad fact will be a major key to your survival and success in this apocalyptic world.

Part 4: What will I need to survive and where will I find it?

Knowing what you need and where to find it will benefit you tenfold in this game. It took me five lives to realize before I enter a military installation I better have some type of fucking weapon. So lets Break this down for you:

-Food, can be found in residences but the best places are grocery stores in either cherno or elektro

-Drink, same as food

- Clothes? NO WTF this isnt about looks

-Medical supplies, okay here is a huge one hospitals will obvs be your best option to get into one you can break the glass by either shooting it or breaking it with a melee weapon, they supplies will be on the roof of the hospital as well. The supplies are in cardboard boxes. Bloodbags are only useful if you have friends with you cause you cannot use them on yourself( instead you can eat food to heal health), take morphine auto injectors in case you break a bone, epi pens are useless unless your with friends, bandages are a big one, and maybe one or two heat packs for the occasional rare case of hypothermia. I have had it once in the course of 200 hours of game play.

-Weapons, THIS IS HUGE , okay easiest way are firehouse on the top floor, there’s usually an ak or an enfield (also known as the dinner bell you can guess why once you shoot it lol) get an axe as well, they can be found almost anywhere so just look everywhere. As you head north or even on the coast you can check in military installations for weapons, the air field to the west of Cherno generally has some good stuff, the best places are north .

-Survival Gear, A hunting knife and a box of matches and a water bottle, these three things will allow you to survive in the wilds of the north without the need to scavenge the larger cities.

Part 5: Hey this is some awesome stuff but I cant fit it all in my bag :/

Hey newsflash! There are bigger bags, GROCERY STORE GROCERY STROE GROCERY STORE, I can’t say it enough times! The one in elektro I have found generally to have more bags, the czech vest pouch ( the czech backpack is okay though its only slightly larger) is the only one smaller than the pack you start with so don’t fucking pick it up!

Part 6: Okay cool I have a weapon, a bigger bag, some food and medical supplies now what?

If you have gotten this far you are now a seasoned player, with much experience to gain before attaining a vet status but your still better off than a nooby, you can fix a vehicle, you can head north on foot going north will yield better finds such as cars and atvs and much much more. At this point the game is your oyester ( corny ik) but get out there a be a productive player, and don’t you hack and good luck : D!

Once you have played the game and got used to how to avoid zombies without having to prone all the time and then lose them when you upset them and the layouts of the towns you will find you can gear up a lot quicker and not be so upset about dying. I have a semi set routine of going to a bigger city ( usually cherno ) and getting Alice backpack ideally, some food and drink, hatchet, knife, matches, some sort of gun ( doesn't matter TOO much as you will go north to upgrade) and then couple morphine, 2 painkillers and some bandages... once I have those I know I can go live up north and raid the airfields etc

However once you get used to the game you can decide to stay down south and have some fun, go help out noobs with new kit ( prepare to die alot ) or go counter sniping of bandits etc

Best tip to understand zombies... trees are your friend, if you see one or more coming towards you, either kill them and prepare for the rest to get upset or just run to a tree line... you will learn you can literally run behind a tree and prone and they will lose interest, the more zombies following the more you might have to zigzag in trees before you can prone.. I also use this to get out of a city quickly by just running like mad to the treeline ( dont do this on a full server when you hear gunfire nearby)

Bravo! Now hold still while I snipe you and take your gear.
