As a veteran dayz player this brings me back to the good old days. Where everything was new and exciting. PvP gave me the biggest adrenaline rushes. What I would do to go back and relive the glory days. Hope you stick to it man
Yes please, more Day Z. Like Project Zomboid, it’s a very weird game with huge mechanics and huge jank, loads of potential and yet an odd lack of end game you don’t make for yourself. But it’s a *great* game to watch people play!
10:00 This. So much this. Your friend is an observant DayZ player. I've been using this knowledge for years for to find grenades for raids. I don't play fully vanilla anymore but on lightly modded servers this works even better. Vanilla has too much trash loot in the loot pool. With unaltered loot tables in vanilla, you see more bucket hats than anything else, as you might have noticed. Rocket never was very good at loot optimization. You can have a Survival game that doesn't crush your soul by half of your deaths being from killing every zed in Berezino, searching every house on the way up the hill to the summer camp, and finding zero food but twenty bucket hats. I look forward to more DayZ content. You're being trained well.
39:43 always put on the best armor you can find (maybe exclduing chainmal), the extra stamina you gain from not having a vest is no use to you when a single bullet to the chest can kill you. Same goes for any military helmets. The armor you left was a modded version of a plate carrier that protects you just as much and just cant be repaired
A little tip, you can close the doors on zombies if you don’t wanna fight all of them. Also zombies can only really climb fences, so get high ground to fight off a hoard.
Great video! Glad that old wisdom nugget led us back to that firefighter axe, too funny. Had a great time playing along, thanks again to your community for having me. It had been ~2 years since I had played DayZ and ~1 since playing any games so I think we managed a desperate first time experience quite well, hah. After a few more runs in DayZ the tone of these videos might shift dramatically- let's do it! Also, Dark and Darker when?
I figure it's a good time to try other games a little when we're 6 months into a wipe for EFT. We'll still be on EFT next week with a couple vids coming soon, and maybe a little Dark & Darker.
I fell in love with your vids a couple months back, and binged your Tour de Fence vids. I'm glad you're giving Dayz a try! ❤ Looking forward to any content you can come up with!!
Yes the explosion was a gas canister, from someone who has thousands of hours in day z and maybe only a couple hundred in Tarkov its really entertaining watching something I have a base understanding about. Instead of always relying on you to explain throughout the video like in your Tarkov series that I enjoy watching. Loving the content bye the way.
Great video, please do more. Your style of showing the item and its stats make the viewing experience that much better. Plus, as a viewer and someone who has never played the game, it makes understanding the game that much easier too.
If you are considering playing modded I would recommend The Labs servers if you want Tarkov themed Dayz server. My second suggestion would be the Rearmed servers, however these servers are usually best played with at least a three man since large groups usually roam these servers.
@@SwampFoxTV Yup basically they took most of the items directly from Tarkov and put them in Dayz. It is a server that was created by a pretty popular Dayz RUclipsr called Nezar.
I love watching folks jump into dayz for the first time, I hope you enjoy your time with it. Careful, it can be addictive once you discover all the community servers and mods.
Also, a bit of unsolicited advice: there are many freshie tutorials on youtube that can give you a quick run down on survival techniques and I totally recommend all fresh dayz players to give them a watch. They really go a long way.
Some good learning experiences there. That last encounter was unfortunate, especially with single shot guns. I love seeing you learn and experience new, to you, games and seeing more duo Aethos runs, would be awesome. DayZ is a game I've only very very lightly dabbled in, so I will learn from your (mis) adventures. haha Keep on rockin Swamp.
YES i watched this vod on twitch and im happy to see the video for it. MORE DayZ content! MORE! Just a tip when it comes to melee.. the zombies attack in a pattern.. they lunge and then do a overhanded two hand attack.. then theres a space for an attack.. so block and wait for the zombie to do the double handed attack then its your turn for an attack.. then repeat.. never attack at a zombie until they do the two handed attack.. they will keep doing one handed lunges and keep hitting you while you try to swing on them.. so let them lunge.. let them do the two handed attack.. THEN swing on them.. youll avoid getting hit.. works perfectly. Its all about timing.
As someone who thought DayZ would be for them and immediately closed it and requested a refund when some random person tried to talk to me, this is awesome to watch!
What a journey! YES! This story has to be told. aethos seems a great duo to learn the ropes with I am looking forward to the story of 2 knives Timmy playing out for sure
Awesome to see you play another game I play besides Tarkov! DayZ is all about the people you meet rather than the one you fight. Fighting and Surviving together! Great Video!
Absolutely more DayZ! One of my favourite Tarkov creators playing DayZ is absolutely amazing. Now, if we can get SourSweet to play Tarkov I'd be well happy 😂
@@SwampFoxTV I absolutely did! I think you picked it up quite well. It's got a lot of nuance. Your biddy seems like the best sort of person to learn from so kudos to him as well.
fox, i would love to play some tarkov or dayz with you man. you seem super chill and fun to run around with. also, i love your content, i found you recently and have been watching you consistently for the past few months. keep entertaining man!
Found out that this game started as a mod off of Arma. This is huge because in a recent OperatorDeruski (sorry about the spelling) video he shows how these games started all the modern mainstream games.
have you heard of ghosts of tabor? its pretty much tarkov in vr. also love your videos man there my favourite thing to watch atm. keep up the amazing work.
Yeah that's fair. I think your character can be continued over multiple sessions but I get it's just not the same vs playing faster paced games on short time
I'd love to see you play Scum sometime! You would feel pretty at home with the gunplay I think but it has the DayZ survival experience that is actually super fleshed out with a whole metabolism system and stuff. Current state of the game is a little iffy so maybe wait until it goes to 1.0 (current version is 0.95) because the latest update changed how zombies spawn and it is kind of crap at the moment but as soon as they get that fixed I can not recommend Scum enough to anyone looking for a great survival game with some pieces of the Tarkov experience.
The melee jank is a core DayZ feature, you just need to master it's intricacies. With practice you'll stop missing your swings and successfully block attacks. Not that you'll need it much once you get a silenced .22 for zombie killing, or better yet, get a feel for how to avoid their aggro in the first place. Keep in mind DayZ was made after a mod from a tactical military sim, not an action adventure game with smooth combat finishers and stealth takedowns.
@@SwampFoxTV I can imagine. If you enjoy it enough it would be cool to see more DayZ from you. Your experience makes me feel very nostalgic for when I was new to the game myself.
Pls make more of this kinds of videos if by Chance u can collab with sour sweet (his a RUclipsr in dayz pls collab with him) one of the greatest videos i have watched in ur channel make More pls🎉
Im watching this cause I love your videos. But you got to play scum they have added a million updates and its better than Dayz in like every way and has way more to it.
Cant do DayZ anymore the Jank just doesnt work for me anymore. Dates the game so much it loses its shine. SCUM does it better, but is a bit of a bug fest and has its own Jank. Be nice if some developer makes a massive open world survival game with the depth of DayZ but on a modern gen engine. it surprises me that no one has yet. it would be HUGE.
What did you think? Should we play/make more videos for DayZ?
Check out my duo parter! -----> twitch.tv/aethos
Yes, and I’ll gladly help Sherpa you around
Yes
This Tarkov fan enjoyed it 👍
Yes
More DayZ please. It just might get the Devs to fix the damn zombie combat
Aethos seems like a chill dude, good duo
Yeah for sure. We've had a lot of success as a duo in EFT before this as well
As a veteran dayz player this brings me back to the good old days. Where everything was new and exciting. PvP gave me the biggest adrenaline rushes. What I would do to go back and relive the glory days. Hope you stick to it man
Ha, same for me with EFT when I watch other new players. This was a fun adventure so I'll try it again
Yes please, more Day Z.
Like Project Zomboid, it’s a very weird game with huge mechanics and huge jank, loads of potential and yet an odd lack of end game you don’t make for yourself.
But it’s a *great* game to watch people play!
Ha, seems like a fair review from my limited experience. Zomboid looks fun too
@@SwampFoxTV are you going to play more I would love to see it
Glad you're branching out!
Dayz is a massive timesink, so enjoy it before you suddenly have 1000 hours!
I enjoyed it before I had 10 hours :D
@@SwampFoxTV Do you ever play with viewers?
I haven't touched Dayz in a good couple of years, but wouldn't mind giving it a try again
@@kaare37 I do Tarkov scav raids with viewers. Usually my PMC raids and other games are solo or a planned duo with other streamers

More of this SwampFox! love seeing DayZ through a new players eyes makes me miss the discovery and wonder of it all
I fell in love with your vids a couple months back, and binged your Tour de Fence vids. I'm glad you're giving Dayz a try! ❤ Looking forward to any content you can come up with!!
Aayy, thank you
Took a break from tarkov about a month ago and started playing some community dayz servers. What took me so damn long. I’m hooked
Soo fun!
Yes the explosion was a gas canister, from someone who has thousands of hours in day z and maybe only a couple hundred in Tarkov its really entertaining watching something I have a base understanding about. Instead of always relying on you to explain throughout the video like in your Tarkov series that I enjoy watching. Loving the content bye the way.
Swampfox: drop a unpin nade
Me: definitely your first dayz experience 😂
Hope you enjoy that survival masterpiece 😊
G is for grenade I thought :D
Great video, please do more. Your style of showing the item and its stats make the viewing experience that much better. Plus, as a viewer and someone who has never played the game, it makes understanding the game that much easier too.
Thank you for the feedback!
46:26 i am pretty sure you have the same gun chambered in 762x54mmR in Tarkov, i believe its called the mp18
If you are considering playing modded I would recommend The Labs servers if you want Tarkov themed Dayz server. My second suggestion would be the Rearmed servers, however these servers are usually best played with at least a three man since large groups usually roam these servers.
The Tarkov crossover sounds interesting
@@SwampFoxTV Yup basically they took most of the items directly from Tarkov and put them in Dayz. It is a server that was created by a pretty popular Dayz RUclipsr called Nezar.
I clicked on this faster than my dad left me
👀
Milk must be off by now
Sorry son, back in a few dayz - see what I did there...
How did you clean on the video before it came out?
Same
9:56 your teammate is actually GOATED 🙏🏼
Yup 😎
I've been waiting a long time for this and I'm here for it.
I reccomend playing modded dayz as well because sometimes it can be a better experience than vanilla
I'll see what's out there over time I'm sure 👍
I love watching folks jump into dayz for the first time, I hope you enjoy your time with it. Careful, it can be addictive once you discover all the community servers and mods.

Thanks - yeah I wanted a pretty organic playthrough for this one but will look into some of those before doing any solo runs
Some good learning experiences there. That last encounter was unfortunate, especially with single shot guns.
I love seeing you learn and experience new, to you, games and seeing more duo Aethos runs, would be awesome. DayZ is a game I've only very very lightly dabbled in, so I will learn from your (mis) adventures. haha Keep on rockin Swamp.

Two knife Timmy will return
Wow ... crazy !!!
Awesome to see you play another game I play besides Tarkov! DayZ is all about the people you meet rather than the one you fight. Fighting and Surviving together! Great Video!
Yeah, makes sense, and thanks for watching!
its good to know im not the only one who runs around for hours and just gets slapped down in this game lol. love your content, keep trying on Dayz
I remember when you asked if you should make a DayZ video. Real glad you got this experience and thanks for sharing with the rest of us!!
Aayy thanks for watching!
Absolutely more DayZ! One of my favourite Tarkov creators playing DayZ is absolutely amazing. Now, if we can get SourSweet to play Tarkov I'd be well happy 😂
Ha, seems like a cool person, watched a few vids. Hope you enjoyed this first adventure!
If we could manage to get a SourSweet + SwampFoxTV collab I'd be the happiest man alive!
@@SwampFoxTV I absolutely did! I think you picked it up quite well. It's got a lot of nuance. Your biddy seems like the best sort of person to learn from so kudos to him as well.

fox, i would love to play some tarkov or dayz with you man. you seem super chill and fun to run around with. also, i love your content, i found you recently and have been watching you consistently for the past few months. keep entertaining man!
DayZ is one of the games i was thinking about getting into for a long time, maybe one day, it does seem like something i would enjoy
It's a good time
I didn't get to catch these live, but I watched the vods. I really hope you do more DayZ content in the future!
Good to know, thanks for watching!
49:03 you can just walk off, it does basically no fall damage
That burtal... I really want to see more now, the vibes are on point.
Glad you liked it!
keep it up swamp! cant wait for the new tarkov budget film!
Big one coming for the new wipe
For reasons I can't articulate.. this hooked me more than Rust did.. even with the jankness.. Keep it coming bossman
Aayy, glad you liked it
Found out that this game started as a mod off of Arma. This is huge because in a recent OperatorDeruski (sorry about the spelling) video he shows how these games started all the modern mainstream games.
Nice, I'll check it out
Fantastic editing, loved the way you chose to end it :D
Thank you!
Love this kind of content. Keep up the Dayz
Aayy, thanks for watching
Love your videos man, so well done
Thank you!
HELL YEAH
dayZ is such a cool game, I totally encourage you to keep playing it if you're getting enjoyiment out of it, especially with friends!
It was fun. I'm nowhere near ready to solo in it but I'd play with Aethos again :D
3:38 exactly
Ha, good to know
@@SwampFoxTV while it does explode, it does barely any damage to the person that killed you
Stoked for more swampfox content.
Asyy, hope you liked it
Welcome to the team. Dayz is that game.
Great to see DayZ Swamp❤
Thanks, hope you like the vid!
Man what a banger of a video.
Thank you!
have you heard of ghosts of tabor? its pretty much tarkov in vr. also love your videos man there my favourite thing to watch atm. keep up the amazing work.
Hey thanks. I don't have a VR setup but I may try that game in the future
Love Dayz great video 💜
Thank you 👍
Holy moly
Glad you are running with us now.
Ha, I'll try it again for sure and we'll see how it goes 👍
Yes more dayz! My favorite game lol subbed
Finally this man tries dayz, imagine the movies he could make with this game!
Yeah, interesting to think about
id love too see more dayz content from you!!!
Nice, and thanks for watching!
amazing! love more dayZ vids pls!!
Thanks for the feedback!
YES!!!!! Welcome to the Dark side.
Great video man! Pls more
Aayy, will do
16:19 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So glad your playing DayZ.
I enjoyed the duo. Not sure I'm ready for a solo run though haha. Fun game so far
i wanna see more of this
Best RUclipsr on the best game
Dude omg finally i gasped when i saw this posted
Aayy, hope you enjoyed the vid
My only problem with DayZ is i prefer to be shooting somewhat quick with limited time to game as a father and ammo is next to impossible to find.
Yeah that's fair. I think your character can be continued over multiple sessions but I get it's just not the same vs playing faster paced games on short time
0:18 definitely weird you had never played DayZ before!! Especially as a boomer 🤷🏻♂️😎
Better late than never I suppose!
I definitely want more content on DayZ
Hope you enjoyed the vid!
That looks really stressful and clunky.
god i wish my first dayz experience was in this version of dayz. i came over from the mod the day the standalone got released and it was so clunky
yeah, seems like it's come a long way from what I can tell
Hell yea SwampFox in DAYZ!!!!!
Aayy hope you like it
LETS FUCKING GO DAYZ CONTENT dont tease me man i hope u play alot more
swampfox narration on a dayz video yes
Aayyy
What a pleasant surprise! Would love for DayZ content if its something you enjoy!
Noted!
You should definitely keep branching out
You should definitely play more Dayz
I'm sure we will
Fabtastic 🎉

DayZ!! Let's goooo!!
Hope you like it!
What server is this? I don't remember vanilla DayZ having PPSHs and Vepr
Think you'd enjoy Star Citizen
Never tried it, but people keep asking me to play so I'll look into it and see
We need more days
Noted!
Bro I love you 😂❤
❤
DAYZ FTW
Brutal game
Indeed
Awesome
Looks like a cool server. What server is this?
It was solid. I don't remember which tbh 😳

Yeah, I figured this to generally be the case. I think I'm spoiled by flushed out melee combat by Mount & Blade and similar

Hope you like it!
@@SwampFoxTV indeed I will!
whats the server it looks like the type of server ive been looking for
I am pretty sure that it is Karma Krew chernarus
You should lay dark and darker
I plan to check it out this week!
would love to see mor day z
Good to know!
Moar DayZ!
Aayy, glad you liked it
An over under?? Lmao you mean a blaze?
Give Scum a try as well please!
I might after 1.0 👍
play on the Tarkov like servers
I might give it a look
If anyone could make me like a game that I think is bad, of course it’s swampfoxtv (: ❤️🔥
Ha, hope you enjoyed the vid

Yes indeed
