Binoculars are always going to be in my inv one time i was looking over NWAF fire house, and last second i see a dude ontop of it and hear a shot whizz by. I was fine, but my binoculars werent, which means that someone would have absolutely DOMED me if i wasnt using them
What the Dayz Gods bless you with is what you work with, until better. If there wasn't multiple but similar items on the map with their differences, there'd be no variation. You would see the same item everywhere. Having more is good. That's what give certain items their value
Hard disagree on the frying pan. It actually doesn´t take any slots at all. It works just like the pot and it´s extremely useful for protecting things in your inventory and doing quick cooking in houses. You can also attach things just like with the pot, so this is false information. Also, you don´t need to toss the whole fishing rod away. Deconstruct it and use the rope next time.
@@AllThingsFilm1 Nope, you can fill it with items = no slots taken from your inventory. There is no reason not to take it, later you can switch it for cooking pot.
Or you could tie the rope into a belt and wear it like that until the next time you're ready to fish then untie the improvised belt, no slots at all taken.
I have to disagree with the Sporter one. While it is obviously worse than any other gun, it is still better than not being able to defend yourself at all. You can still get kills with it, if you hit a headshot (if your opponent is not wearing a helmet and vest, because in that case it becomes completely useless)
Killed a fully geared guy last week with a sporter, only had a 15 round mag in it too. As long as you're close enough and fast enough with that trigger it's a pretty underrated gun.
They buffed the .22 rounds a while back. I think it only takes like 4-6 shots to kill/KO someone with it now. Granted thats on ungeared players but still. Better than trying to fight up close with a knife or your fists.
A sporter will KO a player with a headshot, or make someone bleed 7 times in seconds, it’s really useful if your on a high pop server and the spawn towns are picked dry
I believe it makes it quicker and more likely to catch some actual fish instead of boots, but its the type of hook that defines the amount of the meat available to eat
The fishing rod mixed with a Jig gives you the highest quality fish possible. Where using a makeshift one with a wooden hook gives you the worst possible. When you find one on Sakhal or plan on going south on Livonia, take it. No questions asked
If you use the fishing rod and a real fishing hook/jig you get about 100% of the fish. If you use the real fishing rod and an improvised hook you get a little less but if you use the improvised fishing rod and improvised fishing hook you'll only get around 30 to 40% of the total fish. If anything the improvised fishing rod is less useful because you'll end up spending more time stopping to fish more frequently because you're only getting small portions at a time. Edit: it matters what type of tool you use to gut the fish too, I found the little steak knives and kitchen knives give the best cuts where as the bigger the blade the less meat you get like say with a hatchet or machete.
Also the Fishing rod combined with a metal hook will give you a full fish rather than a half fish like the improvised fishing rod as of 1.26, definitely not useless if you play vanilla style servers where food is a problem
I disagree with a few items on that list: - Sporter is good, especially as a freshie weapon. If you've got nothing else, you can give a person like 20 bleeds, and that will result them in needing to stop at some point to bandage. - Frying pan, in general I agree about replacing it with a cooking pot, however, unless you have a cooking pot, then frying pan is as good of a substitute as the cooking pot itself. Sure, you can say it doesn't put as much water, but it does make food more calorie loaded. - Binoculars are really good too. Say you get a Kamyshovo spawn, you get binoculars ont he way north - easy. You can now overlook Msta, Staroe, or go Mog and sit there. Everything else you noted quite well and I agree with the rest.
I disagree. I believe that the frying PAN is useful. When you cannot find a cookie pot, you can fill it with items and put it in the inventory.And it serves as improvised, bullet resistant armor
I always wondered why the make shift fishing rod is 9 slots but a telescopic collapsible rod is 10...I get it better quality fish caught with actual fishing gear is a balance but I agree the makeshift rod is op
Makeshift rods also fit in your shoulder slot. And you can break down the rod and just carry around the rope as a improvised belt if youre that hurt for space.
Yes the cooking pot is ace but the frying pan is epic when you need a safe place to put your bullets, medicine and gun. If you find a cooking pot you got an ace but a frying pan will do in a pinch 😊
18khs OG here... Sporter dsnt do damage but cut like hell, 6 bullets = 6 cuts, really usefull on a freshie fight... The Pro Fishing Rob is way faster to get fish than the crafted one, way faster... The Coocking Pan is also really good item, i honestly dont know why you think is useless... Binoculars are underrated, really good to sopt people for far (and now is no longer 3x3 is 2x2, wich make it aceptable)... Im only gona agree on the flashlight cuz like you sayd you cant fight or do anything while your holding it...
Na man the frying pan doesn’t take any inventory. You just put your items in the frying pan. It protects lighters, spark plugs etc from becoming ruined in a zombie attack. It saves space because you’ve got an egg in an egg and if you’ve got the gas stove and gas attached then you’ve 48 inventory in 12 spaces. So it saves space. Also the fishing rod is cool.
All that dude had to do was start to log out and it would have sat him up I'm fairly positive. At the very least it would have logged him out and he could have logged back in and been standing up
People are misunderstanding this video, it's just a video of alternatives, hes not insulting anyones favourite item and he's not saying dont ever use them. It's more of a "keep these in mind" video delivered in a fun way lol
Codeine is hands down the most useless item imo - Sporter is a great instant start gun. death by a thousand cuts, forces players to run and bandage. -frying pan is great because you can store items in it so it takes up no space, and use it for melee in a pinch, or buff your slots for single stove cooking. Also attaches to gas stove. Great for Sakhal. - As for lights, I never turn any source on, hunker down for the night and listen out.
Sporter is also good for hunting small game like rabbits and chickens. Its not a very loud gun and with a supressor isnt going to attract any attention at all.
Frying pan can still be used with gas cooker, it just can't be used for carrying water and protecting matches from getting damp on certain modded servers. Crafted fishing rod can be broken down and retrieve the rope.🇦🇺
Im sorry bruh but there are all over the place - Sporter uncons players in 4 (body) shots - Baking food offers more calories then boiling, so the frying pan makes your food better -fishing rod gets way better % fish then the improvised
The brief time at the start where the Sporter could be useful, players are less of an obstacle(or inconvenience) than infected for most people. And the MKII is much better for that. Beyond the coast there are so many better choices so it's quickly replaced whereas the MKII can stay until the endgame to clear paths. The pot is way better. (Keep in mind this is an alternative-options video not a never use these items ever) Baking doesn't need a frying pan, the pot holds two canteens of water, finding gas stove and so on makes the pot way wayyy better. And given the changes to the hydration from food in 1.26, boiling can be beneficial sometimes too. And the fish quality is mostly negligible, even more so with a good hook. But with space now being reduced, carrying a rod just isn't worth it compared with crafting one or keeping rope on you to craft one(which is also a multi purpose, lighter and takes up less space) But horses for causes, everyone has their own styles =]
I love the fishing rod, but only use it either if I find one early as a freshie to fill up on fish, OR if I have a base I'll store it and just pull it out when I want to go fishing. Rarely walk around with one as regular kit if I'm geared though.
Sporter is really only good for small game on Sakhall when just starting out. Obviously making a fishing pole from rags(rope), long stick & wooden hooks( game changer) is also essential
Great tips, as usual. I think the megaphone is best for streamer content. Other than that, yea, pretty useless. Big "yes" on the cooking pot. It can hold items and provide a large container for holding water at the same time. It's one reason that I try to get a backpack as soon as I get my heat buff on Sakhal. I completely agree about the Sporter. If I find one, I just take the ammo if it has any. Thanks for another excellent video.
I’ve used a megaphone lots of times to talk to people in bases I’m raiding without getting too close and into harms way, there’s so many different playstyles in DayZ it’s hard to dismiss anything as “useless”
I don't think the pan deserves to be here. Sure, the pot is objectively better, but sometimes you don't have a pot. The pan can just be dropped when you do get one.
I wish the Sporter did more damage over the Mark 22 pistol, and/or bump up in shock damage. I really don't think that would break the game to give it a boost. It would still be outclassed by most guns but at least make it early game viable alternative. As it is, there's no reason for it when the .22 pistol does everything the Sporter can. Well you can't put a hunting scope on the pistol but the hunting scope on the Sporter provides no real benefit. Switch that over to red dot sights. They could remove the Sporter from the game right now and it wouldn't matter. The gun itself feels like a wonky holdover from the early dayz and now it has no purpose. It's a shame.
The fishing rod does not make you catch fish faster is gives you better quality fish. Like a wooden hook on a wooden fishing rod can catch fish just as fast sometimes daster than a real fishing pole it's the quality of the fish it affects wooden pole with wooden hook your fish will not even be half quality when you catch it but if you have a real pole with hook you will catch a perfect fish.
So in summary, mentioned items are useless ONLY if you have a substitute for them…. which is normally not the case in Dayz. I also find bk‘s useless if i have an m4 😂
Nah, the binoculars are way underrated.
No they are not can't be underrated enough 😃 range finder or gunscope way better.
Bro some one used binoculars on me while I sniped him he couldn’t tell from far away if I was a zombie or player 😂
Real
But they take 12 slots, better to use a detached scope instead and save space 😊
@@williamthomas2823 it takes 4 slots not 12

Disagree on the fishing rode mate the fishing rod offers more fish value then the improvised fishing rod does. Unless that’s only a sahkal thing

Using the megaphone to call infected to surround your house when your friends are trying so hard to stay stealthy is the best
Hey I killed a dude with a Sporter and he had a shotgun. They aren't completely useless in the early game
True, but I once killed a guy with an alarm clock😅
I'm just biased, I love the MkII too much
Torch is sooo good on Sakhal for keeping heatbuff up.
❌Sporter 22 accepts a scope and a 30 round mag. With the virtually unlimited supply of .22, that makes for a versatile weapon, if you only have one.
With the Megaphon you have to play the sound of a falling gasbomb :D
I’d love to see you do a video of ranking all the guns in the game! Keep up the great videos ❤
I watched a guy on FS take out the last guy in a battle with a single round in a sporter
Always good advice, presented in a concise well explained way!
I don't think the pan deserves to be here. Sure, the pot is objectively better, but sometimes you don't have a pot. The pan can just be dropped when you do get one.
Ok yeah but carry the lesser valued items until you have to choose don't just stop using it somebody else will beat your arse with that frying pan
You have to do headshots with sporter or mk2. Also good for hunting rabbits

How you finding Sakhal ?
Thank you!
I love it. Played it so much though that I'm back on Chernarus for a bit😅 but honestly, I'm so glad to have a new map
Any 22lr firing gun was good when you used to be able to fire it without aggroing zombies… but they updated it so they don’t do that now
The fishing rod does not make you catch fish faster is gives you better quality fish. Like a wooden hook on a wooden fishing rod can catch fish just as fast sometimes daster than a real fishing pole it's the quality of the fish it affects wooden pole with wooden hook your fish will not even be half quality when you catch it but if you have a real pole with hook you will catch a perfect fish.
You can put water n items into your pot, and you can now bury it 😊
A good Hardcore server like BELOW ZERO makes all items super useful
😂 I'd trade the rectal thermometers for a microphone anyday
The sporter is only good for chickens, foxes etc.
frying pans a beast against zombies lol
So in summary, mentioned items are useless ONLY if you have a substitute for them…. which is normally not the case in Dayz. I also find bk‘s useless if i have an m4 😂
The sporter is a good gun lol a guy killed mu mate with it fully geared aswell 😅
your rong about the fishing rod the stik one gives u less fish but the normal rod gives way more
Also why i drink, cheers to that🍻💀
nah as i new player the only way to fight darkness/night time is to log off and wait the next morning :D
You should change the name of the video to " bad items but not useless " . I mean ofc sporter is bad if you got an m4 . But useless ? Hell no.
great video
Great video! I agree on all these especially the stupid sporter 😅
That would be awesome😂
Lol my life rn i have a sporter and a pan on sakhal 😂
More useless is 3rd p. Serwers
