Thanks for the tips. I’ve mastered surviving in the woods using creeks, fishing polls, and animals. Mastered this because vanilla was hard to find food on a full server. So I always went to the woods after finding a tool to make a stone knife. One I got the knife it was on. No I’m going to combine this and base building.

Stealth and patience cannot be separated: One thing is that you make less noise when sitting still or moving slowly, but the real reason is that first you want to find out more (is that guy alone, where's he going, what's he doing there) and to do that, you need to remain undiscovered. If you don't care *cough* Ray Ray *cough*, you can do without the patience, and thus without the stealth. But you can't do without travelling light: Stamina means a lot, in every situation from melee to healing to sniping, and of course to getting to the action in the first place.

Nice pointers :)

You're probably my favorite channel for learning tips and tricks for DayZ. I have learned a ton of things that have kept me alive, as I am a solo player most of the time. I also appreciate the fact that you do show times when you have failed at something and you don't try to look like an unkillable player. Keep up the good work.

OK thank you for most great vid in YOUTUBE so far, I get rid of my back pack, vest, heavy boots, spare everything, no food to carry. so much lighter now, I go back to woods.

This was actually super helpful I been playing for a while an this guy just recruited me to the freshie ninja play style

Good video, but I’ve always found that being really geared and having tools and weapons for most situation while still having at 35% or more stamina keeps me alive the longest. I understand The packing light argument but the only benefit is higher stamina, worst comes to worst just pop an epinephrine. I’m not saying hold 200 rounds for a gun you don’t have, but it’s it’s better to have a sniper and a AR then one or the other, also not having a plate Carrier has killed me a million more times than not having enough stamina, but still a great vid 👍

Great tips, I have used some in my gameplay and it has made a difference in the outcome of some encounters. Thanks.

very good video, here are my tips:

tip #1: wear bright colored motorcycle helmets, heavy boots, glow sticks, and constantly sprint everywhere. Its very important to be speedy in the early game so that you dont get killed on the coast, the helmet will protect your head, boots keep you warm, and its important to be able to see where you are at night.
tip #2: bandages have a 25% chance to give you instant wound infection, which will kill you, wheras if you use cloth to bandage your wounds instead, you will always be fine (it just takes longer to complete the animation)

Hunting for food is a big one and knowing the towns which are more quiet so you can cook your food fast with less risk is very important

[bodeabbott]

wait, you had me at "pick your first loadout". I don't even know where to find food in this damn game

[chrisbarraza]

yeah, I've been playing for a couple of weeks, and I'm hording mele weapons and knives like a madman. Good video

[laivasimo]

Hmm, my problem as a beginner is not that i am equipping and collecting all the epic gear at once. My typical game goes like this: I spawn somewhere, immediately hungry and thirsty, can't find shit, get sick somehow, find something to eat but i does pretty much nothing to my hunger, don't find shit and then i die 😂

I have done this run twice a year since the very beginning of DayZ.

[masao]

i tried the gag with concealing coughing and sneezing, it doesn't conceal anything except for voice chat at least on ps4, what i found useful for muffling noises was motorcycle helmets. or face masks

[sCareCrowmerk]

That's me, got the game yesterday and I legit pick up every ammo type I find and also food🤣

[blablablaisse]

Dude, I'm so happy I stumbled upon you. Huge help, I've grown already so much!

[Timeremortem]

Nothing is more dangerous then a new spawn. Someone with nothing to lose and everything to win. Worse case for them they get a better Respawn. Best case they get all your gear.

[nevaeva]

Thanks for the tips. Gonna start my first game now.

[oakenleif]

Great tips Billy. I am sold on the courier bag. I was traveling light but with an empty mountain packing woukd drop and pick up to bring meds and ammo to an improvised shelter stash I have. I am going to try rolling with out the stash and dropping what I dont need on the way.

[gooberduck]

With my few thousand hours In solo dayZ if you ever end up in a gun fight with a large group use your entire environment to escape/hide I would try to focus on keeping cover at least 5-10 ft away while In hot zones, lastly play like a weirdo and be unpredictable with your next move

[alexsalazar]

Great content. Great refresher for the folks who've been around some also. Keep up great work👍
