Finally someone who just shows raw footage with no cuts. Most youtubers try explaining without showing the whole process. Thanks for the simple and detailed explanation on how to play the game! 😊
Crowbar's are actually very useful, can tear clothes into rags, make bone hooks, open cans, mine stones etc. Obviously you still need a knife but it can help your knife go further, or can be used to get the stones for a stone knife.
Great point about crowbar being both bladed and blunt for crafting purposes. I like to keep stones on me when fresh spawn as they take up one space and can turned into a knife if your better one gets ruined.
Bought this game and Livonia DLC for $33.somechange OMFG THIS GAME IS AMAZING! Thanks for all the help. I have two dudes one on official the other on Aftermath. Absolutely video gaming at its best.
I was about to leave the exact same comment until I seen yours. Starting out crowbars are lifesavers because of what you mentioned. Cutting up clothes and you can cut up way more rags with the crowbar before it ruins than a knifes. Plus mining stones to make knives. And carry one extra stone so you can make a knife using only one bone instead of two. If Im just starting out I always pick up a crowbar if I find one.
Minor point, but I always turn my rope into a rope belt. Gets the rope & knife out of your inventory, which saves 6 slots. If you end up needing the rope to make a bag or fish with or whatever else you can just untie it and use it for whatever you need, then turn it back into a belt when you're done. The tying & untying doesn't appear to affect the durof the rope as far as i can tell
“Cooking can be dangerous at times..” You can craft a fireplace in a shed, dry off, get your heat buff, cook AND there’s no smoke trail to give yourself away. Great info all around!
Hey! Just taking this opportunity to stop lurking a moment and say a heartfelt "Thank you, Nitno!" for these types of videos. They have helped me on my journey to feel like I'm making progress in DayZ. I'm now reliably able to make it off the coast and into mid-tier areas. Much of the credit for that goes to you. I'm probably never going to be a PvP goddess, but I'm definitely getting better at survival. Again, thank you.
Honestly PvP is something that just takes practice. Dont be afraid to lose it all to get in those lessons, ya never know when it'll come or how but when it does... That first PvP win is a great feeling. Like an accomplishment. Plus the more you spawn on the coast the easier it gets lol
Just started playing Day Z yesterday. The way I’ve been playing seems so funny when I watch someone like you breeze through the early game. No more having an inventory full of nails and batteries whilst trying to locate a knife to skin the chicken I'm chasing with six zombies chasing me 😂. Great vid mate. Can’t wait to put it in to practice tomorrow.
@@Nitnomate what a difference your vid made. First go i had all my vitals full to the brim. So good to see after bumbling about on the brink of passing out. Managed to cook my chicken today n all. Happy days. Thanks again.
Start up focus guide: 1.Knife (Sledgehammer/Hammer/Crowbar - hit rock OR combine 2 bone) 2. Rags (sharp items INCLUDING crowbar) 3. Rope (Combine 2 full stacked rags “6” to make rope or cut cuts) These are the ESSENTIALS to start off, and crowbar is HIGHLY HIGHLY valuable for fresh spawning. Demonstration: Use knife to cut (damage or utility) use rags for hand wraps or (PVP) footwraps. Use rope to make belt for knife to save inventory room (bone knife and stone knife not available to be held in belt) once you have these, you can use rope (even untie rope belt) to make fishing rod and catch fish on your way north, and can use bones from fishing to always have a knife indefinitely. All that is mentioned above is why chickens or roosters are 100% none argument winnable are essential in starting. They are extremely common on coast, and can now be carried in inventory to be cut up once you find an obvious sharp object in a shed. Once cut up, they provide all 3 essentials listed above AND FOOD!!!!! Great hunting/surviving! Hope I helped.
No problem! Sometimes they will last a month or two at a time I believe. I still think they are worth checking out. I seem to have decent luck with them.
My friend I was playing rust with never heard of dayz before. Never seen it or anything yet he’s been a hardcore gamer his whole life. Honestly it’s so sad. I always dreamed of getting dayz because of frankieonpcin1080, then I finally got it. It really became better than what I could have ever watched on RUclips. It’s sad when your friends just won’t believe you or trust your word when you try getting them into other games.
Just started a few weeks ago on PS5. Thanks for all the videos I learned so much from them. Super appreciative. What ever musical loop you use in your typical videos has been stuck in my head now for days. Its not a bad thing and its super chill. Jazzy elevator music while learning how to craft a burlap backpack.
Just got the game and love the video! The 'here is what I am thinking' concept is great and much appreciated. Also, looking forward to Part 2. Please make more of these! ♥. Thank you.
A survivor's stomach is the same size as a cooking pot, two liters of shared space for energy and water. The "stuffed stomach" warning comes in when the stomach is half full at one liter. Lastly, a sip from a water pump is 65mL. Higher level but good info.
in my opinion , specially as a new player .. don't use a map , don't log out during nighttime either ... the fun part of DayZ is that it has no guide or map. Not knowing whats going on and having to figure things out for yourself as you go is basically the vibe of the game .. sure you will get lost and you'll probably die more often in the beginning but after a few runs you'll learn locations as you progress
Excellent video, great tips, and good reminders for those of us who've already played many hours. You present your information well, and your personality/voice is welcoming, but not over the top or distracting. Keep it up.
Just as WinTartanBelle mentioned. Thank you sooooo much for the guide, the way you show us everything is brilliant, so we are following you along. This is os helpful, and I greatly appreciate the effort. 14:25 I'll keep watching : ) loving it so far.
One thing you can do with a rope is tie it into a belt, and with the rope belt you can put a knife on it. A very good way to optimize storage and even if you need rope to make a bag or fishing rod you can untie it to make a normal rope again
This is great... I know content like this helps a lot of players get ahead and most of the new players I've interacted with say it's beneficial. Though it's great info many have a hard time putting it all together in game without somewhere to "practice" and apply your lessons- To help them out a bit more I started a Bambi University with stations that are set up to let them try out a bunch of this stuff with an instructor. Helps cover the basics like essential crafting, melee combat (armed / unarmed), pistol / auto / hunting rifle shooting and a little early game beneficial knowledge like making the most use out of resources. I'll definitely link this video to my future students!
You should probably start doing tutoring sessions for new players. You could even charge a fee for it. I'd consider paying so that I could get up to speed with some help. The game is super unforgiving and as a lone player without the benefit of a team or squad mates it's especially hard to get going without getting shot to pieces 😂
This is a fantastic video for DayZ beginners to watch. DayZ can be overwhelming at the beginning. This video does a great job highlighting the priorities for a freshy. Once again, Great Video Nitno!
You can use the crowbar to crafted rags as well....then make handwraps to protect your hands right away. And turn that rope into a belt to hold your knife to reduce inventory
To add, town zombies also spawn head wear, backpacks and knives along with food, also when checking a buildings safely, check behind the door right away when ever possible, alot of players like to camp out behind the door for a easy kill in the back. A Plate armor vest might sound good and is good safety but it is also the heaviest item to grab which results in very low stamina. If you can find one, grab a tatical backpack which normally spawn in the nw airfield, this back oack can ne used as a riot shield bc the pack is bullet proof, which is also the rarest item. last thing that is very important. Wear any mask or face protection at all times, alot of crazy olayers will secretly try and feed you human meat, with a mask it orevents it, as a result you first will throw up then after thirty minutes Koro will kick in and their is no cure, you historically start laughing and also get a twitch witch makes it hard to shoot. The more human meat eaten the worse Koro will be.
Even with 3k hours in this game I still watch all your tutorials & how to guides. I tend to forget things over time & they're overall just a pleasure to watch. Keep up the great work my friend
Namalak is wild. I don't suggest it for a new player... But I've met players that said they started on Namalak and only play it, probably taught them quick!
Hey! Good vid, keep them coming! Maybe a tour guide video. As a new Dayz player, my biggest challenge is finding my way around Chernarus. The landmarks guide would help a bunch!
I think I'll make a part 2! Yep I know how you feel, I usually am more on the friendly side. After a certain point into the map its real hard to be friendly anymore.
The absolute best advice I ever received was - "Don't get attached to items & runs." You will die in DayZ......A LOT! But that is part of the experience & it's really not that bad starting over because you learn new things each death & maybe this go will have better stuff or a more memorable experience. Story time. I will never forget the first time I ran into a friendly player. We stuck together for almost 5 hours straight before a group of cannibals ambushed us, tied us up, took most of our gear & force fed us "fresh meat" before letting us go. My new friend couldn't handle the thought of being a cannibal & decided to crowbar himself while I was out looking for replacement gear. "I'm sorry my friend. I can go on knowing what human tastes like.....Find them, make them pay." Radio silence. Rest in piece Henry.........you were delicious.
Reminds me of another game. Fallout 4. Almost all animals will attack you. Even bugs. Eating animal meat, even bugs, will keep you alive. Raw is low value food that has radiation. Cooked is higher value food and no rads. Some players can't handle eating bugs because it's "gross". Some players can't handle eating any animal meat at all. Survivors will eat any cooked animal meat, including bugs.
Since they last updated the loot distribution, I've noticed chlorine tabs are more prolific than the containers we use to keep water in. I the only time I even bother with a pump, is sometimes to fill a jerry can to store in my farm stash. Yes, I know, you don't need potable water to plant crops... but I usually plant in tier 4 and let them grow while I sort loot, clean weapons, etc... so it's convenient to have water on-hand for the hour or so.
A really underrated food source is fruit tress tbh theres over 140 around the map at 1 time that's the main food source at the start i run a hardcore server and people struggle for food if there new to game but if your at least experienced you know fishing or hunting have the best results for food in my opinion
0:50 Tin, bro. I am playing on a server with 25-50 players and didn't have PvP in a week 😂 3:30 I agree. I always find better loot on small towns. I looted Cherno hospital yesterday, and I only got a medical pack. But whenever I loot a field hospital I get a tons of medicin. 5:15 I sometimes make a swarm of zombies follow me (safe location like top of a car wreck or kill them with a sharpened stick from a window) then kill them and get enough food for a while.
Love your how tos, even though I've played for months I always get something from them. One thing I've noticed though, is that you don't have to stand for the stealth kills, standing seems to be part of the animation. You do need to crouch again after the kill though. Maybe it's just me though. Thanks again, great vid, as always.
I just started dayz again. I always get hyped up and play it for like two weeks and then stop. I really need to give it time because something about it always brings me back. finally starting with modded servers and different maps as well as a new mindset and it feels good so far.
Nice to hear! Yeah it's really a game that takes time to break into, a lot of learning experiences, sometimes very frustrating. Glad to hear you keep coming back! That's what its all about.
One thing that I always do is eat that first piece of fruit right away. There is no use holding on to it. It's not enough to keep you alive if you get in the red. It also usually adds a bit to your hydration level as well.
Never knew you can make a backpack with a Burlap sack, rope, and short sticks 😭😭 like man that’s the best tip I could’ve got thank you so much for making this vid Nitno, you’re gonna make some of runs so easy now
One of the nice things about it besides being craftable is it being small. You have limited space to store stuff but it is not so noticeable to others. That means you aren't so heavy and thus your ARE more quiet and have more stamina.
Hey! And also solid video for beginners. I’ll forward this on to some pals that my buddy and I are trying to convince to join us. Cheers and keep up with the awesome!!
1:15 one small detail you missed though specially for new players is first person only and third person servers are separate meaning if you gear up on a first person only server and later on join a third person one it will not carry over and you will start as a fresh spawn
Very nice video! Ever really want a giggle; find a BRAND NEW player (30 hours) and give them a loaded KA, Field Backpack and Medium Tent. Watch them just flip lmao.
Hey! I wish my starts were like that 😂 I just started playing but your videos have really help me so I don’t die on the coast and actually have fun playing 👍
Hey great fresh spawn vid. I would also add the color dots on the inventory quicker to know what ruined or not. I love following power lines it will allay take you somewhere.
I like power lines because you don't have to be right under them to follow them. I think they are safer than the roads, but even safer still when you follow them while in the nearby woods or brush. As long as you can see the power lines, you can follow them.
Thank you, good to know about which places to loot, especialy in the start I always feel like I should check every single corner for something valuable.
Understandable! Yeah no problem. It's a fine balance, between getting the essentials and overstaying your welcome. Spawn town DayZ really is a different beast than a few towns deeper into the map.
Excellent vid. What a start! I think I'd have made a load of rags with that saw you left. And I was seriously worried your knife would break. Can't do anything without a sharp edge. But I'm rubbish at this game, just my thoughts. You could have made a bone knife on a boulder though I think?
20:13 I suggest climbing up the ladder since people often skip it. even tho there is a small chance for loot If no one grabs it I might as well. yeah the ladders are a bit dodgy but you can also scout a bit from up there
Great video. I've just started playing DayZ, have like 10 hours in the game and struggle sometimes with the start phase. Sometimes it's water, sometimes it's food, sometimes zombies but this video shows the way. Looking forward for Part 2. I do have a question though, from how far can other players hear footsteps or noises like gun reloading, healing, etc???
I do actually check sheds looking for that burlap sack, been trying to limit my backpack space to the improvised backpack. Oh you found one just as I posted that xD
We have found out that if there is a rain and it stops, there are loads of apples on the ground. You might have apple trees next to you with nothing on the ground for you to pick, but after the rain you might be surprised of what you'll find! Probably rain knocks them down or something. Try it!
Actually the knuckle duster is a blunt object but works really well fighting zombies. Usually 1 powerhit and one or two normal hits takes them out. Also, skip the supermarkets you mentioned, they usually contain nothing at all
My first few to to things are hang around in corn fields and backs of string of houses, im after crowbar, screwdriver or knife, burlap sack, clothes, anything useful and after 5 min in areas mentioned i fill up with fruit or mushys..even rotten..rotten DOES not make u ill as quick as people think..eat 3 in quick successjon and 50/50 ill but why would you..eat in slow halves with few mins between stop when grumbly tum sign...rest as video...oh and the sack. Want rope and 3 sticks.. make burlap backpack thats good for ENTIRE GAME until find mountain/dry or 90one..then carry ur burlap.
dont drop a rope for space early game... put in your hands and craft a belt. now you can even stow your knife in it! later if you need it for fishing or backpack or what ever put the belt in your hands and craft it back into a rope.

also meat tenderizer and the big wrench can mine stones.

Bro that tip on the surrounding buildings with the loot of the PD is insane, ive never seen someone talking about this
Crazy huh! Very few check it, so it's almost always got something.
Minor point, but I always turn my rope into a rope belt. Gets the rope & knife out of your inventory, which saves 6 slots. If you end up needing the rope to make a bag or fish with or whatever else you can just untie it and use it for whatever you need, then turn it back into a belt when you're done. The tying & untying doesn't appear to affect the durof the rope as far as i can tell
Good thinking for sure!
Wish I seen this comment last night needed a rope to increase burlap sack just to make a rope belt instead and had to go back on the run for more rags
@brutuzumaki1632 Now at least you know for next time 🤙
“Cooking can be dangerous at times..”
You can craft a fireplace in a shed, dry off, get your heat buff, cook AND there’s no smoke trail to give yourself away.
Great info all around!
Thanks!

or even better
yuou can try gettin your hands on a gas stove and cooking utensil aka frying pan or pot

Even the best players do not get out of the coast consistently. It's all about luck. Game awareness increases the odds ever so slightly.

Great hunting/surviving! Hope I helped.
Great list!
That bit about temporary servers, I always saw them but I didn't know what it was about. Thanks for the heads up! Appreciated
No problem! Sometimes they will last a month or two at a time I believe. I still think they are worth checking out. I seem to have decent luck with them.
@@Nitno turns out the first three I tried were unreachable. Whatever that means, I'm guessing they were already pulled.
But, I'll keep trying
Not enough people are playing this game
Agreed, we did just hit a new highest player count, it really does deserve to be up there with the top 10 player count games though.
Don't they have more players now then over the last 10 years 🤔
Some people like to run and gun. Do not like to think hard when it comes to playing video games. This game is hardcore fans of survival.
My friend I was playing rust with never heard of dayz before. Never seen it or anything yet he’s been a hardcore gamer his whole life. Honestly it’s so sad.

Thanks for the kind words!
Another great informative video, thanks mate. Even though I have played DayZ for a while, there are still tips and tricks to learn.
Much appreciated. There really are. I even still find out some really niche tips that I didn't know sometimes.
Hey! New player here, found this useful and reinforced a lot of what I try to do, looking forward to part 2
Excellent!
Thanks man
Anytime!
Something huge I learned from u is opening inventory to loot stuff, I just got dayZ and had no idea on how to loot a sombie
Nice! Haha happy to help!
Lmao me to I spawn in 2 die to hunger
Hey! Great beginners guide, this kind of video really helped me get into DayZ, recently passed 1000 hours and it's probably my favourite game ever ❤
Wow 1k hours is solid! Lots of adventures.

Darn, I don't think I have ever even had that much stuff after playing 3 hours much less 30 minutes. 😂 enjoying the content.
Keep at it! Thanks for checking out the vid!
spawning in the rain at night with no knife nearby is almost certain death. love playing namalsk for its brutality
Namalak is wild. I don't suggest it for a new player... But I've met players that said they started on Namalak and only play it, probably taught them quick!

Excellent! Good luck out there. Every life is a learning experience!
You’re the bob ross of dayz nit. Thanks for the relaxing content
Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks and good idea. I do have some "loot route" videos.
@@Nitno cool! I'll be sure to check them out!
I find on console that stealth kills are easier in a full crouch run instead of slowing down. I struggled with them at first until I made that change.
Ahh good tip!
Would looove to see a part 2, only have around 850 hours so mostly struggle mid - late game with other players because I'm too kind
I think I'll make a part 2! Yep I know how you feel, I usually am more on the friendly side. After a certain point into the map its real hard to be friendly anymore.
@@Nitno do you have any idea when your going to release pt2?
The absolute best advice I ever received was - "Don't get attached to items & runs."
You will die in DayZ......A LOT! But that is part of the experience & it's really not that bad starting over because you learn new things each death & maybe this go will have better stuff or a more memorable experience.
Story time.
I will never forget the first time I ran into a friendly player.
We stuck together for almost 5 hours straight before a group of cannibals ambushed us, tied us up, took most of our gear & force fed us "fresh meat" before letting us go. My new friend couldn't handle the thought of being a cannibal & decided to crowbar himself while I was out looking for replacement gear.

Cooked is higher value food and no rads. Some players can't handle eating bugs because it's "gross". Some players can't handle eating any animal meat at all. Survivors will eat any cooked animal meat, including bugs.
I enjoyed this, it corroborated what I'd learnt watching streams of DayZ and taught me some new stuff too. Thank you.
Anytime John! Thanks for checking it out.
Since they last updated the loot distribution, I've noticed chlorine tabs are more prolific than the containers we use to keep water in. I the only time I even bother with a pump, is sometimes to fill a jerry can to store in my farm stash. Yes, I know, you don't need potable water to plant crops... but I usually plant in tier 4 and let them grow while I sort loot, clean weapons, etc... so it's convenient to have water on-hand for the hour or so.
Ahhh interesting
A really underrated food source is fruit tress tbh theres over 140 around the map at 1 time that's the main food source at the start i run a hardcore server and people struggle for food if there new to game but if your at least experienced you know fishing or hunting have the best results for food in my opinion
Yep fishing can really come in clutch
Great Vd! The biggest problem I hv is getting attacked by other players and losing all my gear. They come up behind you and start punching you.
Yes that's a problem in the spawn zones especially. It gets a bit less common the next town deeper in the map
0:50 Tin, bro. I am playing on a server with 25-50 players and didn't have PvP in a week 😂
3:30 I agree. I always find better loot on small towns. I looted Cherno hospital yesterday, and I only got a medical pack. But whenever I loot a field hospital I get a tons of medicin.
5:15 I sometimes make a swarm of zombies follow me (safe location like top of a car wreck or kill them with a sharpened stick from a window) then kill them and get enough food for a while.
SuspiciousFreshy! Good seeing ya in the comments. Agreed on all points.
Thanks for your help! I’m a noob in the game and had a lot of questions, after looking into your videos they aren’t so many! Keep on the good work 💪🏻😃
Great to hear! Good luck out there!
That garden plot is from those special souls who leave it behind for others ❤
True, the farmers of the world!
Love your how tos, even though I've played for months I always get something from them. One thing I've noticed though, is that you don't have to stand for the stealth kills, standing seems to be part of the animation. You do need to crouch again after the kill though. Maybe it's just me though. Thanks again, great vid, as always.
Good tip and thanks!
I like early game. It's more fun than being kitted out, trying not to lose it all.
Agreed, I like early and mid the best while playing it a bit risky
Personally I always make a rope from rags, try to get a burlap sack and three sticks after getting food/water
Good thinking for sure!
I just started dayz again. I always get hyped up and play it for like two weeks and then stop. I really need to give it time because something about it always brings me back. finally starting with modded servers and different maps as well as a new mindset and it feels good so far.
Nice to hear! Yeah it's really a game that takes time to break into, a lot of learning experiences, sometimes very frustrating. Glad to hear you keep coming back! That's what its all about.
Hey thanks for the tips. Hoping to get DayZ next month so these tips are very helpful. Would love a second vid
Thanks and sure thing!
Wonderful video. Love your vibe. I get so much out of watching you start fresh.
Thanks I appreciate that!
Really nice Video Nitno, keep up the good work
Thanks Sean, will do!
One thing that I always do is eat that first piece of fruit right away. There is no use holding on to it. It's not enough to keep you alive if you get in the red. It also usually adds a bit to your hydration level as well.
Great tip too! Thanks for the comment!
And you deprive the guy who kills you from the reward of a little bit of food.
@@edmartin875Absolutely. Fuck that guy.
On the other hand if I'm doing the killing how dare you deprive me of that food.
Nice video. I like the way you approach the game. I really enjoy watching you while im waiting for customers at work, thanks for the videos. 👍
Thanks Mike! Anytime.
Hey man - great vid. Good for new people, and for us who has played it for a while, we can still learn a few things too 😄👍
Thanks I appreciate that!
Never knew you can make a backpack with a Burlap sack, rope, and short sticks 😭😭 like man that’s the best tip I could’ve got thank you so much for making this vid Nitno, you’re gonna make some of runs so easy now
Probably my favorite bag!
One of the nice things about it besides being craftable is it being small. You have limited space to store stuff but it is not so noticeable to others. That means you aren't so heavy and thus your ARE more quiet and have more stamina.
Hey! And also solid video for beginners. I’ll forward this on to some pals that my buddy and I are trying to convince to join us. Cheers and keep up with the awesome!!
Awesome, love to hear it!
I alway spawn in an area that has like 4 houses and then starve trying to get to a city
Hmm that's no good.
1:15 one small detail you missed though specially for new players is first person only and third person servers are separate meaning if you gear up on a first person only server and later on join a third person one it will not carry over and you will start as a fresh spawn
Very good point and good thing to know! Thanks
Hey! Great vid, as always! Only just got into DayZ this last month so your vids have been a huge help.
Awesome, glad I could help. Good luck out there Survivor.
I appreciate your calm direction, thanks.
Anytime!
Great starter video. I'm only at 30 hours but trying to get better, especially at food and Z management. Fun as hell though!
Awesome to hear, stick with it! I still learn with every death. Each life is new opportunity!
Very nice video! Ever really want a giggle; find a BRAND NEW player (30 hours) and give them a loaded KA, Field Backpack and Medium Tent. Watch them just flip lmao.
Haha! 😄
Hey! I wish my starts were like that 😂 I just started playing but your videos have really help me so I don’t die on the coast and actually have fun playing 👍
Haha, yep not every run is like this :) enjoy!
DayZ Taught Me Real Survival Tips 💯
For sure!
Hey great fresh spawn vid. I would also add the color dots on the inventory quicker to know what ruined or not. I love following power lines it will allay take you somewhere.
Yep power lines are clutch!
I like power lines because you don't have to be right under them to follow them. I think they are safer than the roads, but even safer still when you follow them while in the nearby woods or brush. As long as you can see the power lines, you can follow them.
Definitely up for a Part 2!
Sounds like a plan!
Good vid! I don’t have DayZ (yet). Thinking about getting started! Looks fun to me!
Nice! Yeah it's a bit of a steep learning curve, but if you are stubborn with it and stick around, it really does get "easier".
Great video as always. Surprised you didn't check outhouses. They spawns lots of good stuff.
Good thinking I should do more of that!
Thanks. This was incredibly helpful to a new player.
@@Wrugoin13 awesome thanks for checking it out
Thank you, good to know about which places to loot, especialy in the start I always feel like I should check every single corner for something valuable.
Understandable! Yeah no problem. It's a fine balance, between getting the essentials and overstaying your welcome. Spawn town DayZ really is a different beast than a few towns deeper into the map.
Excellent vid. What a start! I think I'd have made a load of rags with that saw you left. And I was seriously worried your knife would break. Can't do anything without a sharp edge. But I'm rubbish at this game, just my thoughts. You could have made a bone knife on a boulder though I think?
Good thoughts. Yup for sure, also bone knife by just combining bones
I love these types of walkthrough videos I really think u should do more ! Love ur style man good job
Thanks! I'll keep that in mind for sure
Thank you i needed a video like this
Anytime!
This game is so good i cant stop playing PC first person officials
Niceee! Good luck out there Survivor!
The moment you made that burlap backpack and ran out I immediately got upset that you left Mr.Qluckers in the shed all alone.😂
Mr.Qluckers 😂
I've never played this game, its wild how in-depth everything is.. unreal.. I'm going to have to give this a go....and die... a lot lol
It's really a game that I learn the most other a death. Stick with it and it will click
Also boy howdy that mic sounds SO GOOD
Thanks my friend!
That it does!
Menn!! Thanks for this videos im a new player and im having some progress thanks to you!! Keep it up!!!
Thanks for the comment! Keep at it, good luck Survivor!
The detail I needed this
Thanks for checking it out!
Lets go. Thanks
for the intro vid
Anytime!
Elektro is surrounded by fruit tree orchards, you can get all the food and and water you need from fresh fruit.
Good thinking
Great intro video! Can't wait for thr next installment.
Thanks Dwayne!
20:13 I suggest climbing up the ladder since people often skip it. even tho there is a small chance for loot If no one grabs it I might as well. yeah the ladders are a bit dodgy but you can also scout a bit from up there
Good point! I must have gotten jaded by not finding things a couple times in a row. True there can be stuff up there though. 😁
And while scouting up there you become an easy to see target.
Hey, great vid. Look forward to P.2
Thanks!
Hey, would love to hear more on why you don't take certain loot.
Sure thing, that may be best for another video. This one I was just focused on knife, water, food.
Thanks, I'm a super noob trying to learn as much as possible.
@@commonweakness9060 sounds good! I've got lots of other beginner guides to scroll through as well 😁
Great video. I've just started playing DayZ, have like 10 hours in the game and struggle sometimes with the start phase. Sometimes it's water, sometimes it's food, sometimes zombies but this video shows the way. Looking forward for Part 2. I do have a question though, from how far can other players hear footsteps or noises like gun reloading, healing, etc???
Hmm I'm not sure the exact distance on reload. I want to say like 30 feet.
That is pretty awesome!
Thanks for checking it out!
Hey very well thought out vid luv it, will help new players alot.
Excellent!
Members only early access?! great video, super informative, and welll explained brother.
Got that VIP early access!
I do actually check sheds looking for that burlap sack, been trying to limit my backpack space to the improvised backpack.
Oh you found one just as I posted that xD
Burlap backpack is one of my favs!
a belt out of a rope is also a cool easy way to save 3 inventory slots early game.
also the best inventory slots to store your food is your stomach
Very good ideas for sure!
We have found out that if there is a rain and it stops, there are loads of apples on the ground. You might have apple trees next to you with nothing on the ground for you to pick, but after the rain you might be surprised of what you'll find! Probably rain knocks them down or something. Try it!
Interesting! Apple a day!
Great help, thanks
Thanks Howard!
Actually the knuckle duster is a blunt object but works really well fighting zombies. Usually 1 powerhit and one or two normal hits takes them out.
Also, skip the supermarkets you mentioned, they usually contain nothing at all
Good tips!
My first few to to things are hang around in corn fields and backs of string of houses, im after crowbar, screwdriver or knife, burlap sack, clothes, anything useful and after 5 min in areas mentioned i fill up with fruit or mushys..even rotten..rotten DOES not make u ill as quick as people think..eat 3 in quick successjon and 50/50 ill but why would you..eat in slow halves with few mins between stop when grumbly tum sign...rest as video...oh and the sack.
Want rope and 3 sticks.. make burlap backpack thats good for ENTIRE GAME until find mountain/dry or 90one..then carry ur burlap.
Good tips!
Hey great introduction, I’ve just downloaded the game
Thanks
Nice! Enjoy!
such a good video thanks bro
Anytime! Thanks for the comment!
dont drop a rope for space early game... put in your hands and craft a belt. now you can even stow your knife in it! later if you need it for fishing or backpack or what ever put the belt in your hands and craft it back into a rope.
Good tip!
