That's always a great tactic, would've been the right move here as well! I always like to have a suppressor for my sniper rifle as well, but in this case I ran out of water bottles 🥲 Thanks for checking out the video!
Official is the way! Love to see it. When rocking ghillie it is really good to mix up colours. I usually prefer the moss full suit and then craft gun wraps and ghillie hood. It breaks up the silhouette better in my opinion. Also, you will get fully ghillied a ton faster if you breakdown that which you don’t want and craft it into what you are missing. The other thing…. I mean the video was nearing the end which gave it away, but grass does not render far. As soon as you decided to go on that “bunker hill” I knew you’d sealed your fate almost certainly. Trees and bushes are the only thing you want to move between with ghillie. If you are in deep bush and know someone is within roughly 100m then you can utilize grass, but only in very close quarters situations…. On a hill like that you are SO incredibly silhouetted! P.S. love your content. Very few people keep ghillie limitations in mind. I’ve been ghillied next to a ghillie friend many times only to have their head blown off while the attacker has no clue I’m right there 😅 “Pro tip” - if you only have one ghillie gun wrap - keep your unwrapped gun on your left shoulder for it to be less visible. The suit covers more of the gun on your left shoulder than it does the right. Also, if you are surveying from a distance or making general movements through brush it is good to keep weapons stowed, even on the back. The swing of guns when held in the hands is usually the main give away for a ghillie player. Compass bearings, iZurvive measurement tool, and binoculars/range finder go hard in this game!
These are some great tips! I think staying in bushes/tree lines as much as possible is definitely a must. I need to be more patient, DayZ requires a level of patience that I haven't fully acquired yet coming from other games like Tarkov 🤣 Thank you for checking out the video! I'm glad you enjoy the content 👍
@@scholarcormier The turtle wins the race. 😉 Patience is key. If a player is being remotely overt in their actions, chances are they will be overt again in a relatively short time frame. Sometimes it is best to wait for individuals (or groups) to depart from the initial location. Observe from as far as possible and always be thinking where you can cut them off long-term. Example: If they are at the airfield, I would plot the three most likely places I would go from there. If there is no sign or sound of players being outside of the airfield then they will most likely head west to Mishinko, south to VMC, or north west to Tisy. VMC + Mishinko can be cut off from one position, as with Mishinko + tisy, and tisy + Kamensk. #Ambushes The change to zombies hearing with 1.25 makes people desperate. People don’t take the time to hide dead zombies, they tend to shoot zombies way more often, and they can’t easily escape once they barricade in a structure. First day of the wipe I killed a full ghillie with m4 and DMR. He shot my buddy in the back of his plate with the DMR, knocking him out, I only located him because of the literal 15 or more zombies chasing him 🤣 Broke his leg and uncon’d him just as he closed a door to a building which gave us time to force his friend to combat log while we threw grenades in his, seperate, building. Then finished off the sitting duck with a broken lag and more than a dozen Z’s around his house. Player lag triggers at 1100m, zombies spawn at 300m, they despawn after 6 minutes if no player is within 125m. These are the main utilities besides gunshots for where distant players are. Map knowledge lets you deduce where they are likely to go from there.
I’m very new to dayz. Played about 20 hours on official and every time I really got going I started getting gassed out of nowhere. Someone chased us down and kept gassing us and they were completely invisible. Felt like hackers for real
@@ThrobRoss I don't play DayZ anymore, but when I was just starting out on DayZ, official was recommended, however I found that community servers were just more fun to play, and defo had less of the cheating BS going on xD Community servers especially the ones that aren't modded heavily are really fun to play. I had quite a lot of really nice adventures with random people.
Sadly, almost always ends with a hacker kill. I play vanilla but on community. That way there are less hackers because they get banned by admins. I gave up on official because i always get killed by a hacker 5-15 min after picking up a high tier gun. It's frustrating.
@@benanders4412 Yea hackers are way too common on official sadly, I'd love to find a community server with the same exact loot parameters as official with decent pop, good admins, and decent ping. I haven't been able to find a community server I love that fills all 3 of those yet. Dusk Vanilla is pretty good, but they slightly adjust the loot pools, and DayOne is fun but the ping is really high for me
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! KoS is definitely a hot topic in DayZ, you need some level of it to keep the tension up, but if you always KoS, you miss up on potential more interesting interactions! I try to do a mix of both, but it depends on my mood in the moment 🤣👍 Thanks for watching!
Haha 🤣 Moving right after shooting was 100% the right play there, especially since it wasn't a silenced shot! I just got greedy, and it ended up with me losing my life ☠️ Thanks for checking out the video 😁
3 people I won't kill someone cooking someone fishing and someone drinking at a well just doesn't seem like the sportsmanlike thing to do . But everyone has there own style of playing nice video.
soloing (with only 600hrs but) for years already, i guess i got some more on older, different account. But anyway: thinking about going live from time to time. Your video just really motivates me again :D and: smooth run sir
Woaah this is so cinematic and everything feels so sharp and clean!! You took it to the next level👍 lekker bezig man you made me jump few times too lol
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I tried adding some more sounds to increase the tension at some moments 👍 Always appreciate your comments! bedankt voor het kijken
Good video. You got high risk to get exposed on the top of the hangar there. I would have stayed hidden and just let them cross the airfield for the ambulances. There, would be iconic. A lone ghillie guy in xBox platform
I think staying hidden in bushes or trees would've been the way smarter play! I need to learn more patience in pvp 🤣 The super aggro Tarkov player in me still hasn't fully adjusted ☠️
Very happy to hear you enjoyed it as a first time viewer! I appreciate you checking out the channel 👍 I have a longer video in the works right now, so you might enjoy that one!
Glad you like the new music choices 😁! Hmm, that's a good question haha, I'm pretty sure this game isn't popular at all in Korea, so the chances of using it in-game with another survivor are extremely low 🤣
I like your content, and i know new players often kill on sight but it whould be much more fun to watch you talk to the survivor you ecounter. You shuould obviously kill all direct threats but i think it would be much more interesting if you talked to the man that cooked his food in the forest, even if he would rise up and try to kill you you would've have like 3 seconds to kill him before his animation was to cancel
I'd definitely make sure to check the military convoy spawns! They are not always up, but when you do find one, you have a chance to get some of the best gear in the game! NVGs, DMR, LAR, LEMAS, ghillie suit, etc!
I've been having great luck at convoy spawns lately but not so much at heli crashes 🤣 The first hour of looting in this run was definitely really lucky, CR-527 with scope and mag, plate carrier, and full ghillie 👍
Not tryna be a smartass here but throughout the video I noticed you were wasting bullets on already dead people multiple times. If they be having both hands down it means they dead. One hand up like they be doing a high five means still alive. Just a tip for people in generell.
Yeah it's definitely a great tip to memorize the uncon pose, I think I've got it down now, but it's hard to kick the double tap habit I built up while learning the game 🤣 Thanks for checking out the video 👍
I was always worried about them getting ruined in my inventory then blowing up and killing me, but during a livestream, I think someone said that they can't get ruined if they are attached to a plate carrier! So I've been picking them up more frequently now 👍👍
In another timeline, maybe we team up and have a great adventure together, but today I chose violence 🤣 Maybe next time I run across someone cooking, I'll make sure to try chatting first 👍 Thanks for checking out the video
I wasn't really thinking about ammo in the moment 🤣 The first kill was alright, but the spray on the second guy was quite messy and I used way more shots than necessary! I haven't had much practice full auto spraying with the pso scope, I usually use the iron sights for full auto 👍 Thanks for checking out the video!
Almost 700 hours at this point! When I was learning the game, I built up the habit of double tapping everyone to make sure they wouldn't get back up and I haven't been able to completely shake it yet 🤣 I've gotten a bit better and have learned the uncon pose now though 👍
Not hating but it's kinda lame to KOS someone cooking at a campsite... could easily hold him up and get better content. Those interactions are what separate the good from the great imo
True. But we don't know how many hours he has at the game. A lot of less experienced players are scared to hold people up because of the risk it involves.
It’s fine having that opinion but it’s completely flawed to suggest that someone should play that way. Its a quick way to find yourself on the beach unnecessarily and end up with zero content. Who are the players youre referring to that don’t KOS someone armed and moderately geared?
That's how it goes in DayZ sometimes! On another day, I may have been friendly, but not this time. However, the constant threat of danger is also what makes DayZ great 👍

Nice video and nicely commentated. But watching it after watching only Smoke for weeks made me realize that Smoke is very talented.
Thank you very much 👍 I think Smoke is in a league of his own, he's so good at making every interaction interesting 😁
So many people crying about KoS, not accepting others can have different playstyles to them. Great video man!

Zombies are the worst part of this game. Would be better if they were removed.
