If you see a DayZ veteran running you better just sit down and accept your fate because Paul is about to pump you full of lead lol

I remember

- when duct tape was infinite.
- meatball mode.
- drawing a zombies attention was a death sentence because your framerate dropped to 1.
- the Ada was the only vehicle in the game.
- duct tape fixed everything
- tracers were blanks
- vehicle body panels and wheels could only be found in garages
- ❌️ fishing
- NWAF had more buildings. Like, ALOT more.
- Russian helicopter crashes didn't smoke
- zombies remained agroed to your vehicle, even after you got out.
- incurable cholera (sips and nibbles! SIPS AND NIBBLES!)
- night vision was just daytime goggles.
- if you drove in any gear above 1st you were either a noob or suicidal.
- don't like where you spawned? Just use your standard issue stone knife to get a more desirable one.
- no frames? That's because there's a player base nearby, hogging them all.
- driving a vehicle when another player lags out of the server? Buckle up, put your head between your legs, and kiss your a** goodbye.
- the great character wipe (RIP 3 month Matt)

I may not be a vet, but I will study those constellations at night dude

Some things to take note of., the 3rd heavy swing on the zombies isn't necessary. 2 heavy hits and a final light hit do the trick. Also, most veterans sprint everywhere. Food is plentiful on chernarus. We can navigate without map or compass but I've never met a player that uses the stars. I use them sometimes playing on first person servers because they have dark nights. Line up a star with a compass bearing and then just blindly run with your head pointed to the sky to keep that bearing. Better than logging out or hiding and wasting the night.

4k hours here. Haven't felt the touch of a woman in years

another quick tip is to stash loot in mossy ponds and creeks, particularly near the coast.

but the true mark of a dayz veteran, I would say, is unwavering patience and cautious movement and positioning.

ive played standalone since 0.47 and ive had a number of characters that broke the 100hr mark or gotten dozens of kills. you can move as fast as possible, or have the best aim, but you cannot win a gunfight against the person who is unseen and unheard.

through the lens of an admin spectating a server you'll see that its actually fairly often you'll come within a few hundred meters of someone without ever seeing or hearing them, and not just in the towns, even in the woods - especially on populated servers near hotspots.

most people run around full sprint directly from one town to the next or perhaps following a road from a couple dozen or so meters off. they're pretty easy targets if you can set up a half decent ambush.

for example, put something tasty close to or inside of a hotspot or common route, like a barrel full of various items, most of it can be trash but you want to make sure there's at least a few actually useful things in there, like a canteen with some water in it and food, some ammo or batteries, maybe a functioning but not yet loaded gun. you just need to hold their attention for a couple seconds.

get set up a hundred meters away or so, ideally in a ghillie suit in a tree. at that point its just a test to see if you can click a completely still circular target the size of a dinner plate. doing so will convert an unfortunate survivor with all their aspirations and invested time and experience into - not that.

often times the loot trap isn't even necessary to achieve the desired effect. just something or somewhere that a player may want to go or look at. Likewise, be aware yourself that you could be walking into a potential trap.

sometimes I like to test myself to see just how intricate and perfect of an ambush I can set up, it's an interesting sport.

Bag of your own blood has saved my life soo many times it's unreal

[whitewolf]

Bro that egg event was the most fun I think I’ve ever had in DayZ. At the time I was playing this PVE server with 30+ people, and we were basically playing Pokémon, if u had a bear egg, it was basically worth 3 tundras, or 2 military guns (M16, M4, AKM) or 1 helicopter crash gun (VSS, SVD, or ASVAL)

[sponggg_]

The bag of your own blood trick is something I actually never thought of, you dont even need to know your blood type, just get one when youre chilling and keep it for emergencies

[blakedennis]

The visor actually absorbs the damage for the helmet so you're helmet doesn't get ruined as quickly, if you get shot in the helmet with a pistol the visor will take 20% of the item damage

I wouldn't consider myself a vet, I'm just an average player with 1000 hours 😭

[ygorschuma]

The smoke grenade tripwire alarm is actually really cool, even outside DayZ. Sure grenades go boom and are lethal, but using something to scare your enemy instead of outright killing them is far cooler and a great intimidation tactic.

[WolfSniper]

Didn’t know about the attack pattern thanks

[virgilscrivener]

Ive never gotten into dayz but it amazes me the level of depth they have added into it, no wonder people have thousands of hours and are still entertained

[aldo_]

Steaks for heatpacks is a good one, I'll be using that!

[pvt_snowballss]

I really am a veteran and I remember when I was brand new and hated the game at first because it was “boring”. Now it’s my favorite game and I’ve learned everything from this video from experience from the hours I’ve put in it. Looking back at it from my gameplay it feels like a movie sometimes and it’s awesome

[John.McMillan]

When DayZ added the accurate sky I was baffling people with how easily I was getting around the map at night and avoiding certain areas without NVGs.

I grew up outside, knowing how to navigate at night was the difference between sleeping outside or getting in a bed.
Especially when you learn land nav without a compass.

[LuciusValorian]

Been playing since Arma 2 Vanilla DayZ Mod
DayZ Origins was by far the best days of dayz imo

[TheyCallMeStabby]

After 7k hours and over 10k people eaten… I’d like to consider myself an average player.

[JosephMcCollum-on]

DayZ experts are the kings of gaming it is truly amazing how much skill that game takes
