How to play DayZ: practical tips

For many years, the idea that the game for its success should be "polished to a shine" reigned supreme in geymdeve. Practice has repeatedly proven that ideally "polished", but dead in essence games quickly lose popularity, leaving in non-existence.

And the players themselves did not very welcome such projects, which resembled beautiful lacquer figures, immobile and boring in their splendor. A loud signal for the game players was the popularity of the MODs on the game "Stalker", Fallout and other projects. The gaming community urged that users be not only dispassionate extras, but also active participants in game development.

The result was the project DayZ. In fact, this is a "semi-finished product". The game is constantly under development, and the huge community of users is beta testers. Not surprisingly, this giant game world is constantly evolving and changing.

By the way, how to play DayZ? The fact is that the game is unique, because you need a partner to survive in it. The surrounding world in it constantly changes and lives according to its laws, and therefore one should know about certain rules of behavior in it.

Find a partner!

We did not accidentally talk about the need for a partner. Be sure to find another player, and for communication with him, you definitely need "Skype" or another messenger, since without communication in the real world it will be difficult for you to negotiate your plans in the game. Install, before playing in DayZ, Steam. Communication can be kept through it.

Why do I need a partner? First of all, together you can carry more supplies. So any campaign for a "hub" promises two or even three times more profit than if you went alone.

In addition, a reliable partner will protect your back. So the probability of a surprise attack will be much lower. As for the zombies, it will be much easier with them. Together, fighting off an aggressive crowd of evil spirits is much easier. In short, we just do not advise you to walk alone in Chernorussia.

Conclusion: before playing DayZ, be like on game forums or immediately cooperate with friends in the real world. So it will not only be easier, but also much more interesting.

Equipment - first of all!

If you do not have any serious equipment, do not even think of going to big cities! Zombies are full, so it's unlikely to get around them. If you have equipment and weapons, then you can fight back and escape.

But your main enemies in large depopulated cities will not be zombies, but other survivors (players). Especially those of them who are lucky enough to get hold of sniper rifles. Do not believe the high-spirited stories in the general chat: despite the benevolent tone, many of them would not mind driving you a bullet in the back to collect all your things. And to engage in looting is just more handy in large cities, where there are many secluded cottages. Who then can prove?

However, subject to the availability of normal weapons and a partner to attack you hardly anyone will. Going against an armed group is more expensive. But if you are alone, and you have some quality gear, you probably remove the sniper. Just one shot - and you lose everything. Since it's difficult to play DayZ, it will be very annoying.

By the way, more recently in the game you can even restore your clothes! Get a sewing kit that will help you. Drag it to the damaged garment element, then select the appropriate action from the drop-down menu.

We are looking for the "right" guns!

If you carefully read, you already realized that without weapons you can not survive. First, an ax will come down, but one should find something more serious as soon as possible. Axes, hammers and even screwdrivers can be attributed to relatively effective melee weapons. All this can be found in houses and fire units.

It must be said that firearms are the most effective. In the game there are many, for all tastes and preferences. In schools, you can often find pistols, but sometimes the abode of knowledge can reward you with a Mosin rifle or even M4A1. Be sure to check the roof!

It is best to search the military bases, where you can find almost all weapons, as well as barracks, since there is the most loot there. There is a base near the village of Pavlovo, as well as near Kamenka. In addition, there is a "Western military base." Be sure to check the base between the Choice and Cabanino. Check also the airfield near Bolot, Krasnostava and Grishino. And all the buildings near the airfields, in which you can sometimes find a lot of useful.

Among other things, it is useful to sprinkle on the stations: there you can rarely find weapons, but there are body armor.

Look after the weapon!

Theoretically, the weapons in the game wear out because of the stressful exploitation. And how to play DayZ if you do not have a serviceable cannon? For a long time you just will not last!

Now in DayZ there is a wonderful set for cleaning, Weapon Cleaning Kit. He can restore any cannon right up to the state of Worn. However, if it is repeatedly destroyed (Ruined), then with the set you will not get it. It can be used several times at once, so you will only need to buy it once to travel a couple of weeks around the game world.

Mask weapons

With the relatively recent patch in DayZ Standalone, a very useful option for painting weapons appeared. To do this, you need balloons with paints, from the mixture of which you can get a camouflage color. To perform this action, you need to take the can from the inventory, and then drag it to the rifle. To get a camouflage color, you need to do this several times.

Important! If you paint Mosin's rifle, you can not charge more than one cartridge in it. The developers promise to eliminate the bug in the very near future.

Medications - "our everything"

Do not miss the chance to get as many medicine kits and medicines as possible, even if they are simple bandages. Believe that after meeting with walking corpses or bandits, you will almost always need medical help. If you have nothing to stop bleeding, then your character will definitely die.

It is very insulting to get health problems due to some kind of game failure. If you do not have an anesthetic, but there is a broken leg, it's easier to immediately kill your character, rather than trying to crawl to the nearest hospital in about twenty kilometers. If you have morphine and stimulants, then you probably can walk.

Stuck in the textures?

Do you remember what we said at the very beginning of the article? Yes, the game often reminds that the development is far from over. Since most of our users prefer to play DayZ pirates, the problems are even more common.

For example, you can often get stuck in the textures of houses. And you can stay there until the death of the character. We can give you some useful tips that often help to avoid such an unpleasant outcome.

Let's list them:

• Use jumping;
• You can just run, rested on the wall nearest to you;
• Sometimes helps crawl with rushes;
• Exit the game server and log in again.

By the way, how to play DayZ through pirated servers? Their addresses you will find on the web, but we do not recommend using them. The game is already not too stable, and in this case even more so.

Simply put, try to move as much as possible inside the house, after which you will certainly get out of the ill-fated textures! Before you start playing DayZ, also examine the control keys to perform all these actions faster.

Save space in your backpack

If you've been playing for a long time, you've probably run into a lack of space in your backpack. We will not deal with the cause of this strange phenomenon, but rather discuss the principles of proper packing of things. As a rule, a lot of space is occupied by cartridges. We strongly recommend that you purchase cartridges in advance. If you store them there, they will take much less than just dragging them in your backpack.

Before playing DayZ Standalone, it's better to think over your equipment at once - save a lot of space.

If you stuffed too many things into the backpack, and nothing else gets into it, use the yellow boxes that will increase the space in the bag by several cells. Such boxes can be found in considerable numbers at fire stations. In them you can pack not only food, but also other necessary items.

Is there a better pastime than playing in DayZ? MOD is the best solution! If you are tired of the standard game, try to install some interesting modification.

Some additional tips

And again about medicines. They are best stored in the first aid kit. This approach will also help to slightly increase the number of slots in the backpack. We are looking for first aid kits in apartment houses (in the bathroom), as well as in hospitals and gas stations.

Are there any other ways to increase the amount of free space? To store the necessary things you can use not only a backpack, but also all pockets of your clothes. When choosing it, it is advisable to buy only the most capacious models (vests, for example), in which there is a maximum number of pockets.
