Wow, so many new people watching and learning from this video. I'm so happy it's helped someone. Please check out part 2 out now if you are interested linked here: ruclips.net/video/dZL7IlcpeSc/видео.htmlsi=9_Res6y2rJPCwZEZ
Bought dayz ages ago and still too scared to play. But I watch hours and hours. Awesome video, thank you so much! One day I'll stop being so chicken and get playing. Any server advice for a new grrrrl...? probably EU as EU servers are my closest for PUBG, so thinking my ping will be awful to NA servers. Thank you, happy new year and greetings from the bottom of Africa 🔥👊🔥
Ps of course.. off to twitch to drop a follow! Cant promise to visit live - depending on time zones. You should add your twitch link in the video description? I almost missed it here in comments. Thank you again, supercool video.
❤ that would be nice and I hope everyone finds a nice guy in the apocalypse. Just remember if everyone survives it don't make for much of an apocalypse
There's a lot of those. I always hear people complaining about not meeting friendly people when I meet them quite often. Not saying ur complaining just saying
I'm relatively new to the game, in one of my latest sessions I spawned next to a guy and we immediately started chatting. We then found another guy who didn't have a mic but we adopted him anyways. Then we found another 3 guys. We were cruising around as a 6 man for a while before we lost 3 of them. The three of us left, had an awesome adventure, killed some bandits, got some decent loot. We lost the third after the session but two of us have remained friends and frequently meet on the same server 😊
@chrishirst-bartlett8571 one of my best buds Is from dayz. It's fortunate I met someone like him, but unfortunate that he's out of the country where I live :( It's a general rule to kos no mics & cannibals. I have no mic rn & have found ppl to roll with still. I hear sooo many people ppl even with mics say that they can't find anyone friendly. They're out there for sure
I had to learn this literally yesterday. First time being decently kitted out with a friend, travelling across some countryside when I got sniped in the head from the treeline. The whole adventure that I had with that character, from beginning to end, I don't think I'll forget.
From an experienced DayZ player: I can confirm that this video is not scripted (crazy that you had to say this in your video!) 😂 Once you put in the work, playing hours for hours and especially doing research on all the things the game doesn't tell you, surviving (PVE) in DayZ is sooo easy. PVP is the challenging part. But the game will reward you with great adventures including a good atmosphere, beautiful landscapes, crazy adrenaline rushes and maybe meeting a new lifetime-friend right around the corner. And don't forget, never love your loot 😊
He needed to at least try and valudate no scripting as many of the DayZ youtubers absolutely script their content. Usually its pvp content. There was no need to script a tutorial style video.
great guide, i'm somewhat of DayZ master with almost 3,000 hours and i like to watch beginner guides just to judge the guides people are making :D this has to be most entertaining raw cut guide i've seen so far and even learned that blocking + walking recovers stamina faster! Always like to find new ''small'' channels making great content in my feed, keep it up and one day you can script the videos! There was some things i would have added but then i remembered it's a beginners guide and not intermediate guide for experienced players, waiting for that one! i was impressed you actually included that right click animation canceling that many guides doesn't include, which works aswell on animation like finishing cutting down trees which is useful to speed up the wood cutting process while building a base, or burying stuff in the ground etc.
@@truthfilterhe havent played 3k hours in 1 life because thats impossible if you not play 1hr day 3k timnes lol i have 6k and if i die i go again thats the fun part to go in a new adventure thats why sessions calls "lifes"
@@saloscontent at some point being full geared just gets boring and i often get to the point where i just can’t trust anyone less geared than me and everyone that has equal gear is always looking for a fight, when i get killed, it’s a new opportunity to find someone at the coast to team up with for a good fucking adventure until death do us apart. DayZ is all about the journey not the destination.
You sir are like those god given trainers at any workplace where they thoroughly give you the best rule of thumbs to someone who has no experience in the industry whatsoever, easy to understand, giving insight as we go instead of bombarding us with information before it can even apply to the current situation. I liked this video, I hope for new players to easily find this channel
As someone brand new to the game I’ve watched like 10 beginner guides and even tho this video isn’t the most organized when going over everything it was by far the most helpful lol
Just always remember, soon as you spawn into the game as a Freshie, the direction you Are Facing is ALWAYS NORTH... This would be a really good video for a new player too, nice job 👍🏻👍🏻
@@ProudToBeAHillbilly that info has helped me so much. Now I know immediately which way is which rather than roaming aimlessly 🤣👍🏻. Before that I’d be waiting for the sun , rises in the east , sets in the west . But it’s not always available 😂 Cheers buddy
1:12 - that motorcycle helmet you passed up as a fresh spawn... don't do that.... ESPECIALLY since they changed the tier 1 zombie mechanics, and wolf range/aggression. Just don't do that. Always equip the first motorcycle helmet you find. If it has a tinted visor, swap it out with the first clear mask you find. Also, the green variant is great headgear, all the way through late game. It's a great solid olive color, which blends well with most backgrounds, has the 2nd highest projectile armor, and the best melee head armor.
Have dabbled in DayZ over the years but never had a rig that could run it properly, watching your videos always manages to scratch that itch. Here's to more in 2024!
Here's me who has over 4k hours in DayZ and learning something new. I didn't know that going prone inside a building speeds up the zombies calming. I just thought they had a set timer with no LOS to lose interest. I enjoyed watching this!
"i appreciate you guys tuning in" bro i appreciate you making this 😭 i cant tell you how annoyed with dying i was getting after finding nothing to stay alive and virtually no official tutorial. it just throws you in.
your casual, quick intro is perfect. love YTers who respect viewer time and attention. i'm only 10 seconds into the vid and already subbing lol keep up the good work
This was a really great video man. You see a lot of DayZ guides out there, but don't think I've ever seen someone just showing a full loot run from the coast. Very useful for anyone that's starting out in DayZ, and even as a veteran player I still found the video highly entertaining!
Just bought this game yesterday and I’ve been struggling hard, watching endless videos to help. This video is fantastic, gives clear simple, great advice. Thank you!
I have had a lot of success in the start by crafting a knife as soon as I can, and fishing and drying my meat before I start my journey in word. Gives me a backup of food to wear. All I have to do is find the nearest town with a well and I am set for a while. This is of course, if you find a rope off the get-go wherever you spawn. Long sticks are easy to come by
this is many times more helpful than any other guide video. playing the game normally with an incredibly experienced player is millions of times more informative than *beginner guides*
All the other videos I've seen for beginners were just showing bullet points of what to do. This was amazing and far better than anything else I've found. The play by play is exactly what was needed as I got to see exactly how to do the things and not just what to do. Thank you so much! Every one of my playthroughs have ended with me dying to being sick. It was the water bottles.....
And there are us, the newbee, who after 4 hours of dayz and 5 differents attempts/quick death, still freezing to death, sick, with no food but full of equipement we will not used, scared of every zombie... ^^ thank you very much for this video ! live, die, repeat...live, die less fast, repeat... live, think you are now better but still die, repeat :-)
You'll get it I promise this game whooped me when I started I still consider myself a newbie but I finally made it twords the middle of the map you'll start to see more progress dieing less and traveling further just remember its not your loot its just your turn with it
I made it to my first village inland and my guy was dying of disease and hyperthermia. Got killed by a kitted player while I was trying to warm up in a pink dress 💀 now I’m here lol
I am only 1:49 into the video and I've got to say, I'm hooked and you're the best. Thanks. I can already tell this is exactly what I've been searching for to gain the confidence I need to give this game another go.
Out of all the guides I’ve watched on this game, this is the greatest and most knowledgeable guide yet. Now I’m confident I’ll survive longer than 30 minutes and make it further inland. 😂 THANK YOU!
Thank you, seriously, other guide videos may show you things such as how to do certain things but you show how the game goes, how the game actually is, with raw, uncut footage which is a thousand times more helpful than some extremely scripted guide.
I’ve just started my first adventure in DayZ with a friend. This is such a great introduction and I feel much less afraid of the eventual respawn loop, thank you!
I'm 10 mins into this and what a great guide, no frills, no bullshit, just good explanations of game mechanics and tips as you would encounter them. Very nice. Thank you.
yes here after..20hrs..offline and PVE to learn the ropes..every small step along the brutal learning curve is rewarding, get just a little bit further each time, then something trips me up - too many zombies at once or a key resource I didn't find. excellent guide, too much to take in all at once, so will need to come back between deaths.
One more thing, the closer you are to the NorthWest Airfield or any popular military site the more likely you are to encounter another player, all the surrounding towns will generally have more players because they are either heading to or leaving the military site, so always assume there's gonna be another player close and be ready just in case
Thank you. I'm an old guy who likes the concept of the game but I don't have a lot of free time to play. This is a great jump start to help me get the basics figured out so I can have fun.
Haha when you said "i played this map a little to much for comfort" i felt that. When you first spawned in i thought to myself, hey he is about 5 minutes south of berizeno
Very rarely do you get a tutorial from a very experienced player, good tips and a really good teachers explaining wise but this hit all the boxes. Amazing tutorial bro
Hey, man, I just wanna thank you. I remember years ago when I was just a little boy. Watching Dayz onRUclips for hours and hours in Beta. That was when it was only on the PC. I've never had pc. So I thought me and my friends would never. Ever be able to play now that I'm on adult. I seen it is for counsel. I downloaded it I couldn't wait to play it after watching countless hours of other people play it on RUclips. When I logged in I hated it. It was so so so Difficult it's still is difficult. I haven't made it one night. But after watching this video I am extremely confident. I will be able to survive at least one day. Thank you for making a Complete complete beginner's guide for the mentally ill like myself haha.
@camcantrun well I deleted the game haha I know it's a fun game for some but after watching it hours as a kid I always imagined it being easier. It's just toooooo hard of a game for me. I starve in 45 mins. Thank you tho great vid
@@GuineaPigLover666I recommend Downloading the iZurvive maps. That way you always know where a fruit tree is and you’ll never starve. Also the buttons on console have a steep learning curve and there’s lots of tricks to make it easier. I recommend looking up a video for console buttons. Keep playing- it gets easier!
One tip I seldom see on How-To videos is making a stone knife by combining a couple of stones. It's been a while since I made a knife like that, so I hope the tip is still valid. I use hiking trails more than roads, so hiking trails and especially railroad tracks are where I generally see the most stones. Great video , I really enjoyed it. Learned new stuff and was reminded of stuff I had not seen lately. Thank you.
Dude, me and my friend were struggling a lot. Always died of diseases, watched all 3 parts and the things got changed. Thank you for your efforts coaching noobs 😂
Great video and the commentary is not overwhelming. Pleasant to adventure with you along your journey. Highly recommended. I am new to Dayz on ps5 with just over 200 hrs. Very informative! Nice work keep them coming.
Tip for stealth killing Zs: trainers are the quietest type of shoe (besides foot wraps). If you wear them so long as you are not walking on concrete Zs arent likely to hear you. I generally dont wear boots because i find stealthing to be the easiest way to deal with Zs. as long as you stay behind them they are not likely to notice you. Tip for rotten fruit/ Unknown cans: If you watch the bottom right of your screen you can eat rotten fruit or unknown cans until the stomach icon indicating youre full appears, stop eating when it shows then wait a while until it disappears. When it does you can continue eating. You will not get sick if you do this
This was such an amazing video to experience and as someone who just started playing DayZ its cool to learn the more niche thoughts behind experience. i would say that the only thing not mentioned that could really help a beginner is how to start a fire without matches (combining bark and a short stick i believe) how to make a fishing rod(a knife and bones for a hook, two stacks of 6 rags for rope or guts, and a long stick if you truly NEED to make it from absolute scratch even though all items can be found) and if youre desperate, no gun and cant find chickens, you can make a knife using two small stones or a small stone on a boulder. Amazing video though!
Amazing, so informative. I have been watching people play DayZ for years on RUclips but have never played myself lol. Playing is very different from watching and I had zero clue how to even craft until I watched this video. The fact this was all one edit and you just did thius on the fly is amazing as well! Just subscribed because of this video.
Just started playing and this is gonna be a big help watching this. Out of all the videos ive watched for beginners this one was by far the best. You touched on everything that you really need to know but other video dont tell you. A big one was getting your sense of direction. I wish I would've watched this before I just died for multiple hours but at least now i wont have such s hard time😂.
These are some great tips! I've got 1600 hours and what I like to do is be as resourceful as possible. Take everything I find. If I change shirts I keep my old one to tear into rags that I may need. I only get rid of things if I no longer need them, find something better, OR find what I've been gathering supplies to craft.
great video, i downloaded the game for me and an old buddy last week.. we're going to jump in for the first time today! this gives us a head start on what we're in for i think... thank you for the video!!
Just came across this video, I have a couple hundred hours in DayZ but haven't played for ages and have been looking to get back into it. Always videos like these that get me confident enough to jump in again. Going to check out your 2025 video now
oi mate! your video has really helped me and I think it covers the main basics or fundamentals for survival - most videos or rather the uploaders of videos have mostly stated that one should avoid zombies - with the usage of izurvive map and picking my fights with zombies carefully I was almost able to make it in-land, survived a night by a campfire and I actually have managed to stay hydrated (that pump thing is burned into my mind) and fed, not even getting sick, using my common sense for the rest - that campfire I made at a forrest during a night to stay warm, after that I have went prone further from the flames and from the light being emitted, in case someone discovers it and thus I would have been able to see them, then I have moved towards a set of hunting cabins just in time to see the wind pick up and thinking, just like in real life "oh it is about to start raining" and hid inside the cabins just in time - survived for 3 hours with decent loot and without even meeting anyone, killing only 25 zombies with a melee weapon - so thank you for finally a proper fundamental start of my absolute, absolute noob DayZ adventure!
One very important aspect, that wasn’t mentioned is, that when you are cold (blue color), you waste 50x more energy, so, always try and stay warm or you’ll starve much faster
The way you speak reminds me of after effects/Photoshop tutorial videos I said to watch. Especially when you end a sentence with "ok". 10/10. I don't feel so confused anymore 😂
Cam - you might be "THE" Bob Ross of DayZ. The ingredients are all there; the pristine landscapes, trees, mountains, baby squirrels (kinda), and there are no mistakes, only happy accidents. Well done!
For a stealth kill, you must slow crouch walk up to the Z from behind. Also, I always keep a stash of bullets that I don't need on me to deal with infected. .22 are great because you can keep a ton of them in one slot. If there are a lot of Zs in my path I'll simply throw one as a distraction.
I’ve never played DayZ but I’ve been tempted to lately and honestly, the amount of detail the game has to keep the player immersed is enough to bend my arm. Great vid man, keep it up
I love finding stuff like this I played DayZ when it was just a mod years ago I play by myself on my own server because I want to relearn the game I remember when they were first started adding stuff to standalone an when they called it that haha great video bro thanks
I probably will when I get comfortable enough getting shot is my worst fear and even then food is the next your video was helpful though thank you play too much World War Z to even care I played for 2 hours 3 times died gave up you not using the well was wild haha
you turned my mind from saying “dayz is a running simulator” to “woahhh its this easy?” hopefully i can pull this off and ima drop a sub for more content like this. Watching you play is amazing
You can attack Zombies from inside a house - via the windows. Use a weapon like a hoe and smack ‘em. Also if you can’t find matches to light a fire I think you can combine tree bark and small stick to ignite fires. I’ve not tried it yet. This video is great stuff. Thank you :)
This is so underrated! As much as I adore watching the big story-based Dayz players, I didn't learn much from watching them (even on stream) because they go so fast. Very helpful, thank you
Now that I have studied the playbook l feel a lot more confident about not dying from hunger…again. Thank you for putting your time into this. Very kind of you to be so helpful :)
Thank you for making this video. I am not a novice to DayZ, but still have room for improvement. I do want to say, though: if you punch with your bare hands that much, you risk cutting them and contracting an infection. At the very least, you should bind them or find a stick to smack with.
Gloves are good for a number of reasons, but they will not get cuts from punching zombies. only punching objects, like walls, or objects. Also, apprecaite you my friend, thanks for checking the vids ;)
U did in 5 min what took me 3 hours tonight on my first play couldnt even figure out how to get a fire going. Then i spawned at night and frustration was at an all time high
Dude, the commentary, tips, and explanations were top tier! You bring a fun energy to DayZ! I would watch your streams. Did the outro while fighting off a pack of zombies lol! Subbed. You deserve all the best man.
Thanks a ton. Ive probably played about 10 hours at this point and ive been so lost. With ghe info that i should be keeping my back to the sea im hoping my gaming will be much better
SO happy to hear that my friend, if you want I'd love for you to join the discord. I'm looking for BRAND NEW players that are struggling for a project I'm working on. All love your way.
Literally the best tutorial I've seen. Bought DayZ a while ago, played 80 hours, uninstalled because I was bored and nobody played with me. Also I wasnt finding stuff. Now I am motivated to play again and this video is just it :)
Honestly best introduction to dayz video I have found I’m new and have watched a few tips videos just so I knew how to heal myself and stuff but your video makes me feel like I can jump right in and like I got enough knowledge to enjoy myself thank you man great video
Such a great video and perspective! Glad to know that I'm not alone in having so many interests. You brought some structure to my life. I will definitely be rewatching this. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the information I’m thinking of playing and was confused on how to start. You help me understand a lot. All I have to do is figure out my Xbox controller. Thank again
Thank you SO Much! I went from surviving 30 min and dying from starvation and bleeds…to surviving 5 and half hours and getting my first player kill before logging off my first go around with using all of these tips together for basic survival!
Ah buhumbug. My experience with dayz, and dayz mod... run around for an hour finding nothing but clothing, either die of malnutrition or get one tapped by someone I didnt see.
The INSIDE of the supermarket usually sucks, but the cars outside usually have food. You can also craft "bark+stick" to make a .. (Forgot the word: something rudimental to ignite a fire).
Another advice is if you can’t find food, find a player and eat him you’ll be set for a while. Also don’t eat food with gloves on as it increases chances of infection. Last but not least don’t forget you can use dirty rags to heal yourself :)
I had such a hard time playing DayZ my first time. Many months ago. This video is really straight forward and instructive. Got it randomly in my FP, so its real helpful!
As a new player who's watched a few tips and tricks videos for dayz, this video was incredibly helpful. I knew you could do a lot of the things in this video but I had no idea how. Thanks a lot man 👍
I just started playing dayz and had a run like this with a friend of mine everything was going well we went all the way up north to the military base had decent guns enough food/ drinks and even medicin. We got run over by zombies and wolves in the military base knocked me out twice we ended up using all of our ammo to somehow survive then I got corned in a building and blocked in by 4 zombies and died 😂 Edit: we also didn’t find shit in the military base just parts and ammo for guns we didn’t even have….

I've been playing DayZ for close to 10 years but I still love beginner videos you never know you might learn something new
have u seen my grandma? she is a wheelchair driver
You're a natural at this, really good video!
Bought dayz ages ago and still too scared to play. But I watch hours and hours.
Awesome video, thank you so much! One day I'll stop being so chicken and get playing.
Any server advice for a new grrrrl...? probably EU as EU servers are my closest for PUBG, so thinking my ping will be awful to NA servers.

Imagine meeting a calm, and polite dude like Cameron after you wake up on the beach in an apocalypse. "Hello my friend, follow me if you want to live"
❤ that would be nice and I hope everyone finds a nice guy in the apocalypse. Just remember if everyone survives it don't make for much of an apocalypse
that sentence doesnt exactly sound very polite - "...friend, feel free to follow me if you want to learn how to live"

As someone brand new to the game I’ve watched like 10 beginner guides and even tho this video isn’t the most organized when going over everything it was by far the most helpful lol
Watching this in December of 2024… bought the game 2 years ago but never bothered to play it and this has been such a good help !
I laughed so hard when you and the zombie just stood there staring at each other 😂😂
Just always remember, soon as you spawn into the game as a Freshie, the direction you Are Facing is ALWAYS NORTH...
This would be a really good video for a new player too, nice job 👍🏻👍🏻
I didn't know that nice one 👍 always learning 😂
@@RogueDarkAgent This is the same no matter Which Server you play in. Community or Official you always spawn in facing North 👍🏻

Also if you get turned about, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west
1:12 - that motorcycle helmet you passed up as a fresh spawn... don't do that.... ESPECIALLY since they changed the tier 1 zombie mechanics, and wolf range/aggression. Just don't do that. Always equip the first motorcycle helmet you find. If it has a tinted visor, swap it out with the first clear mask you find.
Also, the green variant is great headgear, all the way through late game. It's a great solid olive color, which blends well with most backgrounds, has the 2nd highest projectile armor, and the best melee head armor.

Hell yeah brother!
I love how you teach even the snallest things like how to reload and remove bullet from the guns. Thank you for this amazing video! Such a great guy.
I appreciate the kindness my friend :)
Here's me who has over 4k hours in DayZ and learning something new. I didn't know that going prone inside a building speeds up the zombies calming. I just thought they had a set timer with no LOS to lose interest. I enjoyed watching this!
Knowledge, is powerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Really? 4000 hours and you didn’t know going prone made the zombies lose interest?
@Etherglide Reread my statement. That is not what I said at all.
That's funny. I just started. I didn't even know walking backwards was how you blocked... But I knew that particular tidbit.
"i appreciate you guys tuning in" bro i appreciate you making this 😭 i cant tell you how annoyed with dying i was getting after finding nothing to stay alive and virtually no official tutorial. it just throws you in.
fr, i clicked the tutorial and it just showed me the most basic shit ever😂
I've been playing for 5 years and watching videos for the same amount of time. This is the most helpful straight to the point video yet.

This video completely changed my opinion on this game with how well you explained the basics. Looking forward to playing it now!
Id actually love to see more of this or just you playing, seeing how long you can survive and maybe build a base
I can make that happen for you my friend!
@@camcantrunwhat’s the longest you’ve ever survived if you don’t mind me asking? Just wondering what the possibilities are haha.
I've been looking for a vid of a seasoned vet starting from scratch and showing their full journey looting up. Keep it up, really informative stuff
Big love your way!
Just bought this game yesterday and I’ve been struggling hard, watching endless videos to help. This video is fantastic, gives clear simple, great advice. Thank you!
Hell yeah, happy for you my friend.
How’s it going?
@@heidi9569 i bought this game today and im struggling too😅
I have had a lot of success in the start by crafting a knife as soon as I can, and fishing and drying my meat before I start my journey in word. Gives me a backup of food to wear. All I have to do is find the nearest town with a well and I am set for a while. This is of course, if you find a rope off the get-go wherever you spawn. Long sticks are easy to come by
this is many times more helpful than any other guide video. playing the game normally with an incredibly experienced player is millions of times more informative than *beginner guides*
All the other videos I've seen for beginners were just showing bullet points of what to do. This was amazing and far better than anything else I've found. The play by play is exactly what was needed as I got to see exactly how to do the things and not just what to do. Thank you so much! Every one of my playthroughs have ended with me dying to being sick. It was the water bottles.....
And there are us, the newbee, who after 4 hours of dayz and 5 differents attempts/quick death, still freezing to death, sick, with no food but full of equipement we will not used, scared of every zombie... ^^ thank you very much for this video ! live, die, repeat...live, die less fast, repeat... live, think you are now better but still die, repeat :-)
We all gotta struggle to understand the way! I just released an actual tutorial if you need help with the basics :)
You'll get it I promise this game whooped me when I started I still consider myself a newbie but I finally made it twords the middle of the map you'll start to see more progress dieing less and traveling further just remember its not your loot its just your turn with it
I've just stared playing , this was such an awesome guide, this game is extremely intimidating to new players, it's so in depth . Thank you
I made it to my first village inland and my guy was dying of disease and hyperthermia. Got killed by a kitted player while I was trying to warm up in a pink dress 💀 now I’m here lol
I am only 1:49 into the video and I've got to say, I'm hooked and you're the best. Thanks. I can already tell this is exactly what I've been searching for to gain the confidence I need to give this game another go.
Out of all the guides I’ve watched on this game, this is the greatest and most knowledgeable guide yet. Now I’m confident I’ll survive longer than 30 minutes and make it further inland. 😂 THANK YOU!
Thank you, seriously, other guide videos may show you things such as how to do certain things but you show how the game goes, how the game actually is, with raw, uncut footage which is a thousand times more helpful than some extremely scripted guide.
I’ve just started my first adventure in DayZ with a friend. This is such a great introduction and I feel much less afraid of the eventual respawn loop, thank you!
Good luck out there. Pro tip walking on grass instead of the road also makes your footwear last longer 😂👍
this has seriously been one of the most helpful and best presented tutorial ive seen yet man! thank you!!
Happy it helped my friend.
I'm 10 mins into this and what a great guide, no frills, no bullshit, just good explanations of game mechanics and tips as you would encounter them. Very nice. Thank you.
Nobody likes bullshit in a tutorial :) Care about ya, enjoy!
you are the sole reason im getting this game, i wasnt sure about getting the game before but now i am definitely getting it
I hope you have the most fun my friend.
yes here after..20hrs..offline and PVE to learn the ropes..every small step along the brutal learning curve is rewarding, get just a little bit further each time, then something trips me up - too many zombies at once or a key resource I didn't find. excellent guide, too much to take in all at once, so will need to come back between deaths.
You are a fantastic teacher. Which requires more skill than just hours in the game. I just got started and definitely appreciate it
One more thing, the closer you are to the NorthWest Airfield or any popular military site the more likely you are to encounter another player, all the surrounding towns will generally have more players because they are either heading to or leaving the military site, so always assume there's gonna be another player close and be ready just in case
Thank you. I'm an old guy who likes the concept of the game but I don't have a lot of free time to play. This is a great jump start to help me get the basics figured out so I can have fun.
Haha when you said "i played this map a little to much for comfort" i felt that. When you first spawned in i thought to myself, hey he is about 5 minutes south of berizeno
Very rarely do you get a tutorial from a very experienced player, good tips and a really good teachers explaining wise but this hit all the boxes. Amazing tutorial bro
Hey, man, I just wanna thank you. I remember years ago when I was just a little boy. Watching Dayz onRUclips for hours and hours in Beta. That was when it was only on the PC. I've never had pc. So I thought me and my friends would never. Ever be able to play now that I'm on adult. I seen it is for counsel. I downloaded it I couldn't wait to play it after watching countless hours of other people play it on RUclips. When I logged in I hated it. It was so so so Difficult it's still is difficult. I haven't made it one night. But after watching this video I am extremely confident. I will be able to survive at least one day. Thank you for making a Complete complete beginner's guide for the mentally ill like myself haha.
Brother, first off.... Welcome :) i hope you know you don't struggle alone. I hope you have the most fun jamming and let me know how the journey goes.
@camcantrun well I deleted the game haha I know it's a fun game for some but after watching it hours as a kid I always imagined it being easier. It's just toooooo hard of a game for me. I starve in 45 mins. Thank you tho great vid
@@GuineaPigLover666I recommend
Downloading the iZurvive maps. That way you always know where a fruit tree is and you’ll never starve. Also the buttons on console have a steep learning curve and there’s lots of tricks to make it easier. I recommend looking up a video for console buttons. Keep playing- it gets easier!
One tip I seldom see on How-To videos is making a stone knife by combining a couple of stones. It's been a while since I made a knife like that, so I hope the tip is still valid. I use hiking trails more than roads, so hiking trails and especially railroad tracks are where I generally see the most stones. Great video , I really enjoyed it. Learned new stuff and was reminded of stuff I had not seen lately. Thank you.
For someone who watches you run this ISH! I just learned so much on how things work in game. Great job CAM!👏👏
Dude, me and my friend were struggling a lot. Always died of diseases, watched all 3 parts and the things got changed. Thank you for your efforts coaching noobs 😂
Great video and the commentary is not overwhelming. Pleasant to adventure with you along your journey. Highly recommended. I am new to Dayz on ps5 with just over 200 hrs. Very informative! Nice work keep them coming.
Appreciate you my friend!
“Liam neeson, from the walking dead” had me laughing so hard 😂
Great video buddy, you should continue this series!
Happy to get a giggle my friend.
Being brand new to this game and trying to figure the game quickly. The history was a good video. Thanks for the help man.
Care about you dudddeee
Dude
When you said it's been an hour, time flew by watching you haha
Great vid , game is on sale I think I'm going to purchase. Thanks :)
Tip for stealth killing Zs: trainers are the quietest type of shoe (besides foot wraps). If you wear them so long as you are not walking on concrete Zs arent likely to hear you. I generally dont wear boots because i find stealthing to be the easiest way to deal with Zs. as long as you stay behind them they are not likely to notice you.
Tip for rotten fruit/ Unknown cans: If you watch the bottom right of your screen you can eat rotten fruit or unknown cans until the stomach icon indicating youre full appears, stop eating when it shows then wait a while until it disappears. When it does you can continue eating. You will not get sick if you do this
This was such an amazing video to experience and as someone who just started playing DayZ its cool to learn the more niche thoughts behind experience. i would say that the only thing not mentioned that could really help a beginner is how to start a fire without matches (combining bark and a short stick i believe) how to make a fishing rod(a knife and bones for a hook, two stacks of 6 rags for rope or guts, and a long stick if you truly NEED to make it from absolute scratch even though all items can be found) and if youre desperate, no gun and cant find chickens, you can make a knife using two small stones or a small stone on a boulder. Amazing video though!
This is honestly the best dayz first start video because I’ve been STRUGGLING playing this game
Hell yeah my friend, happy to hear it worked for you!
We all struggle in the beginning. This game was not created for the faint of heart or young children.
Amazing, so informative. I have been watching people play DayZ for years on RUclips but have never played myself lol. Playing is very different from watching and I had zero clue how to even craft until I watched this video. The fact this was all one edit and you just did thius on the fly is amazing as well!
Just subscribed because of this video.
Just started playing and this is gonna be a big help watching this. Out of all the videos ive watched for beginners this one was by far the best. You touched on everything that you really need to know but other video dont tell you. A big one was getting your sense of direction. I wish I would've watched this before I just died for multiple hours but at least now i wont have such s hard time😂.
These are some great tips! I've got 1600 hours and what I like to do is be as resourceful as possible. Take everything I find. If I change shirts I keep my old one to tear into rags that I may need. I only get rid of things if I no longer need them, find something better, OR find what I've been gathering supplies to craft.
great video, i downloaded the game for me and an old buddy last week.. we're going to jump in for the first time today! this gives us a head start on what we're in for i think... thank you for the video!!
Hell yeah, hope you and your friend are having a blast.
Just came across this video, I have a couple hundred hours in DayZ but haven't played for ages and have been looking to get back into it. Always videos like these that get me confident enough to jump in again. Going to check out your 2025 video now
oi mate! your video has really helped me and I think it covers the main basics or fundamentals for survival - most videos or rather the uploaders of videos have mostly stated that one should avoid zombies - with the usage of izurvive map and picking my fights with zombies carefully I was almost able to make it in-land, survived a night by a campfire and I actually have managed to stay hydrated (that pump thing is burned into my mind) and fed, not even getting sick, using my common sense for the rest - that campfire I made at a forrest during a night to stay warm, after that I have went prone further from the flames and from the light being emitted, in case someone discovers it and thus I would have been able to see them, then I have moved towards a set of hunting cabins just in time to see the wind pick up and thinking, just like in real life "oh it is about to start raining" and hid inside the cabins just in time - survived for 3 hours with decent loot and without even meeting anyone, killing only 25 zombies with a melee weapon - so thank you for finally a proper fundamental start of my absolute, absolute noob DayZ adventure!
Hell yeah my friend, keep going tell me how the journey ends.
I have over 1000 hours played, and this tutorial gave me so many little bits of knowledge that I didn't even know about! Nice one!
One very important aspect, that wasn’t mentioned is, that when you are cold (blue color), you waste 50x more energy, so, always try and stay warm or you’ll starve much faster
The way you speak reminds me of after effects/Photoshop tutorial videos I said to watch. Especially when you end a sentence with "ok". 10/10. I don't feel so confused anymore 😂
Happy 10 years DAYZ! Good video as always Cam 🎉
Cam - you might be "THE" Bob Ross of DayZ. The ingredients are all there; the pristine landscapes, trees, mountains, baby squirrels (kinda), and there are no mistakes, only happy accidents. Well done!
Pretty much sums up my first 500 hours of discovery! Exceptionally well rounded intro guide.
As someone new to dayz I gotta say your video was super helpful and really easy to understand. You deserve way more followers!!
For a stealth kill, you must slow crouch walk up to the Z from behind. Also, I always keep a stash of bullets that I don't need on me to deal with infected. .22 are great because you can keep a ton of them in one slot. If there are a lot of Zs in my path I'll simply throw one as a distraction.
Throwing a bullet as a distraction is amazing thank you!
I’ve never played DayZ but I’ve been tempted to lately and honestly, the amount of detail the game has to keep the player immersed is enough to bend my arm. Great vid man, keep it up
I love finding stuff like this I played DayZ when it was just a mod years ago I play by myself on my own server because I want to relearn the game I remember when they were first started adding stuff to standalone an when they called it that haha great video bro thanks
Happy it helped, highly recommend finding a low pop and jamming out
I probably will when I get comfortable enough getting shot is my worst fear and even then food is the next your video was helpful though thank you play too much World War Z to even care I played for 2 hours 3 times died gave up you not using the well was wild haha
you turned my mind from saying “dayz is a running simulator” to “woahhh its this easy?” hopefully i can pull this off and ima drop a sub for more content like this. Watching you play is amazing
You can attack Zombies from inside a house - via the windows. Use a weapon like a hoe and smack ‘em. Also if you can’t find matches to light a fire I think you can combine tree bark and small stick to ignite fires. I’ve not tried it yet. This video is great stuff. Thank you :)
Tree bark + small stick = hand drill, ez fire starter
This is so underrated! As much as I adore watching the big story-based Dayz players, I didn't learn much from watching them (even on stream) because they go so fast. Very helpful, thank you
Awesome video bro, I got almost 500 hours on the game but I learned so much from this. Thanks for the tips!
I'm so happy it helped! :)
Now that I have studied the playbook l feel a lot more confident about not dying from hunger…again. Thank you for putting your time into this. Very kind of you to be so helpful :)
Thank you for making this video. I am not a novice to DayZ, but still have room for improvement.
I do want to say, though: if you punch with your bare hands that much, you risk cutting them and contracting an infection. At the very least, you should bind them or find a stick to smack with.
Gloves are good for a number of reasons, but they will not get cuts from punching zombies. only punching objects, like walls, or objects.
Also, apprecaite you my friend, thanks for checking the vids ;)
Ok, thank you for correcting me! And my pleasure.@@camcantrun
This is the third beginners guide to dayz I've watched and I'm only now finding out about the scroll wheel thing.
Best guide ever.
U did in 5 min what took me 3 hours tonight on my first play couldnt even figure out how to get a fire going. Then i spawned at night and frustration was at an all time high
It can be tough out there, good luck my friend!
Dude, the commentary, tips, and explanations were top tier! You bring a fun energy to DayZ! I would watch your streams. Did the outro while fighting off a pack of zombies lol! Subbed. You deserve all the best man.
Thanks a ton. Ive probably played about 10 hours at this point and ive been so lost. With ghe info that i should be keeping my back to the sea im hoping my gaming will be much better
SO happy to hear that my friend, if you want I'd love for you to join the discord. I'm looking for BRAND NEW players that are struggling for a project I'm working on. All love your way.
Man I've got about 50 hours so far and I just watched this whole video because you are so entertaining! Awesome.
Thanks Zach, happy you enjoyed it! :)
i have played for years , but what a great video for new players, very well explained
Thank my friend! :D
Super helpful, just started today! Thanks for this mate.
Big love, happy to hear it's helping!
I genuinely enjoyed this vid. 1600hrs player right here but you never stop learning new things.
Literally the best tutorial I've seen. Bought DayZ a while ago, played 80 hours, uninstalled because I was bored and nobody played with me. Also I wasnt finding stuff. Now I am motivated to play again and this video is just it :)
So happy it's helping you my friend!
Honestly best introduction to dayz video I have found I’m new and have watched a few tips videos just so I knew how to heal myself and stuff but your video makes me feel like I can jump right in and like I got enough knowledge to enjoy myself thank you man great video
Great vid, played for my first time today, I like the way you narrate and speak bro!
Big love Kaeleb, appreciate the kind words my friend. Enjoy the adventure!
Such a great video and perspective! Glad to know that I'm not alone in having so many interests. You brought some structure to my life. I will definitely be rewatching this. Thank you for sharing!
Finally, someone i can understand fallow along, frlm the bottom of my heart thank you thank you thank you
Hey Eric, care about you brother. Happy to hear this helped!
As someone who teaches people how to do things for a living you did a great job explaining breaking down and applications of what you’re teaching
Thanks for the information
I’m thinking of playing and was confused on how to start.
You help me understand a lot. All I have to do is figure out my Xbox controller. Thank again
So happy it helped. All the best my friend!
Thank you SO Much! I went from surviving 30 min and dying from starvation and bleeds…to surviving 5 and half hours and getting my first player kill before logging off my first go around with using all of these tips together for basic survival!
Ah buhumbug. My experience with dayz, and dayz mod... run around for an hour finding nothing but clothing, either die of malnutrition or get one tapped by someone I didnt see.
That's the first 50 hours for everyone until..... they find this guide..... kappa
Thanks for the tips. I start this weekend
The INSIDE of the supermarket usually sucks, but the cars outside usually have food.
You can also craft "bark+stick" to make a .. (Forgot the word: something rudimental to ignite a fire).
Hand drill kit 👍 absolute life saver those things 😂
Thank you for this! Watched so many videos but this one has been super helpful!
From one small channel to another, great content. Awesome thumbnail!🎉
Keep it up!
Thanks my friend
I love the beginning of this video. I actually restarted and listens to it 5 times
Another advice is if you can’t find food, find a player and eat him you’ll be set for a while. Also don’t eat food with gloves on as it increases chances of infection. Last but not least don’t forget you can use dirty rags to heal yourself :)
I love it.
I had such a hard time playing DayZ my first time. Many months ago. This video is really straight forward and instructive. Got it randomly in my FP, so its real helpful!
Just got the game!! Im learning a lot! Thank you so much!! 😊
So happy this is helping
As a new player who's watched a few tips and tricks videos for dayz, this video was incredibly helpful. I knew you could do a lot of the things in this video but I had no idea how. Thanks a lot man 👍
yea game does nothing to explain the controls or anything else.
I just started playing dayz and had a run like this with a friend of mine everything was going well we went all the way up north to the military base had decent guns enough food/ drinks and even medicin. We got run over by zombies and wolves in the military base knocked me out twice we ended up using all of our ammo to somehow survive then I got corned in a building and blocked in by 4 zombies and died 😂
Edit: we also didn’t find shit in the military base just parts and ammo for guns we didn’t even have….
Guns are tough to find, but the journey and the struggles are what make the journey the best.
Thanks for the video!!!! I downloaded the game yesterday and couldn’t survive the hunger, this video helps a lot
Same bro 😂
