Stealth is Harder in DayZ 1.27: How to Stealth Now

Update 1.27 has significantly increased footstep volume, making stealth more challenging for everyone. I break down the latest footstep sound changes in DayZ, including movement stance, the best footwear, and surface impact sound differences. Learn the best strategies to stay undetected and maximize your ability to hear enemy movements.

Now if only the devs could figure out how to make building walls actually sound proof so you can't hear people sneaking around 4 houses over

It's absolutely amazing how these devs keep changing and altering things that don't need to be changed but almost never fix things that should be.
I'd like to line them up like the 3 stooges and do a domino power slap

Congrats guys footsteps are officially louder than cars and are as loud as deer mating calls. LOVE IT

Next update: breathing can be heard from 120m away.

Much respect for touching on taking care of your hearing. With everyone using headphones/earbuds these days it’s super important to remember that loud sound degrades your hearing and you can’t get it back 👂🏻

Just a quick note on the decibel increases. If sounds have increased from 20db to 30db (rounded arbitrary values), that's a 50% increase in decibels as an absolute value as you showed in the video, however with decibels being logarithmic, a 10db increase is actually a doubling of perceived volume, it's therefore a 100% increase in audibility. Another great vid, thanks Wobo

A compressor is a great tool if you want to protect your hearing and still be able to hear footsteps. "Equalizer APO" for example is a software that will allow you to basically lower the dynamic range so you can still hear quiet sounds without having your ears blown out by someone dumping an AK mag.

Stealthy Tip #1
Find a shed, go inside. Close door, remain...listening...listening...listening...listening, hear a player.

IMMEDIATELY LOG OUT.

Dude footsteps were already a bit too loud in my opinion like you can hear people in atc through concrete floors and walls

"you're not getting any younger..." My dog ​​Monty, with whom I have survived the apocalipse in the Arma 2 DayZ mod since 2012, has unfortunately now hunted his last zombie. By the way, he liked the mod's zombie sounds better. Not even the best dog can beat time. I have enjoyed watching your videos over the years and my heart has bled when you had difficult events in your life ❤

leave a like if you are SICK and TIRED of getting SOUND CHANGES instead of meaningful REFINEMENT of the game. (item bloat/better usage of items/zombies that actually work/2 handed melee weapons actually hit HARD)

[Jammet]

Imagine you're sitting in your kitchen at the table, eating, and you can hear your neighbor, walking to their tv, in their living room. That's what we got now. It's absurd.

[AngryChair]

So glad they are adjusting footsteps. Compared to eating, tearing rages, and taking something out of your pocket, footsteps were incredibly quiet.

[Donder]

Lovely stuff! Thx Wobo, your a beast!

[Gaming.Channel]

W advice at the end there Wobo, i love when you give us tips like that. It really helps ❤

10, 000 hour player here. This is the update where I'm done waiting for the devs to get a clue. All we wanted was a zombie AI fix and they decided to ruin every enjoyable part of the game instead. It went from a game with adventure and tense unexpected engagements to *the game now only caters to shrubs with a pulse* and I'm too exhausted from working to reliably compete with a statue that hears me coming and can pre-aim me even more effectively than before.

What a sick joke this all has become

[lemmac]

I'm so surprised that players laden weight is not taken into consideration

[drwells]

I wanna know does Wobo ever play DayZ or just make videos about it? I would love to see a Wobo play thru video.

People on payroll assigned to make random changes essentially while that wasted resource should be put in fixing gameplay issues. And how hard is it to bring us a door sized fence? Or craft a normal sized storage container? Or a codelock equivalent?

[Blawnka]

I don't like this one, I find a large majority of people are already afraid of their shadow. This change in tarkov made a lot of people quit playing.
Move = dead
