It's no good: I'll have to talk about the backpack. It's a world of meagre rationing, so you should search every building you're comfortable entering, but ensure your gun's drawn and you clear the area of any zombies before looting: you can hunt through bodies or stashes (piles of cans on the ground). Keep to a stroll, because excessive movement requires food. You might recognise a landmark, but generally picking a direction and walking in it is the best way to begin your adventure. It's always on the coast, and mostly towards the South. So where are you and what do you need to do? I can't help you with the first as the game spawns you in a different location each time. It does mean your sight is dismal, though. I actually prefer walking at night, because you can make out people if they're firing guns or setting off flares a tad more easily. Game time corresponds to real-world time. The most important thing here is the Zombie count: Chernarus is a big world, so actually the higher the better. On the top right there's debug information. All this is in short supply, so only do them when the icons are flashing or you'll be wasting it. Food replenishes hunger, which sneaks down during the day, and blood with is lost through fighting. The ones to worry about are Drink, Blood and Food: they'll flash red when you're short on each item. "G" brings up the backpack, which is a confusing mess and I'll get back to it later.
"F" cycles what your primary weapon is, swapping out the gun for a flare. Enter brings up some contextual items, like Eat, Drink, Bandage, as well as interacting with things in the world like doors, loot stashes and dead bodies. With that done, familiaraise yourself with the controls: "Num Pad Enter" puts you in third-person, which I find invaluable when scanning the world for the undead.
The zombies are speedy and run in zig-zags. Hell, you'll even respawn in the same position.įirst I'd head into the options menu then "game options" and pull the "aiming deadzone" slider to zero. Decisions are tracked across all servers, so leaving one won't wipe the blood on your hands. It's hard because the onus is on you: there's no missions other than to survive, no direction other than the one you choose. Relax: these are normal feelings in the world of DayZ. You're alone, the controls are a bit Arma-ish (read: shoonky and unforgiving), you probably don't know where you are or where to go. Well done, and don't say I didn't warn you. So I'll assume you've made it and you're in a server. If you want to chase Owen through the woods and steal his beans, this is your best opportunity to do so.
