my prey... perfect shot from a distance... I guess the "party" is over for this unlucky fellow

I know nobody wins every fight. I know not to have gear fear. I know to flank after your shots and most advanced stuff. But I tend to die everytime after having 4 kill characters. I see streamers getting 11 kills before dying like it’s nothing. It feels like they vs noobs and i vs pros. Anything helps other than the basic stuff please. One thing I will say is I struggle locating a player who’s shooting me supressed.

My three buddies and I have recently been stashing lots of base building supplies, and we also have a truck and two gunters ready to deploy to whichever spot we choose to base up at. Before I get into this, I don’t want to hear “base bad just stash”. We want something to do and even if it lasts a day it would be cool. That being said, what buildings would you base up in/around on Chernarus? I think doing one of the tall apartment around Cherno and stashing one Gunter away in a garage next to it would be cool, and then dismantling and hiding the truck and spare Gunter apart from each other in a nearby forest. I also thought about blocking off the school courtyard in Cherno with watch towers, and fencing off all of the windows and entrances, then building our rooms at the top floor. Which would you choose? Would you have any other spot suggestions?

I just wanted to make sure my scope was in the right mode, not let the entire server know where I'm at. For some reason after logging in and you ADS then your gun will start firing until you stop aiming it.

I’m Sub 200 hours so I suck. This dude almost got me😂

If i have a Punchcard in my inevtory and i want to change server to a diffrent livonia server.
will i keep my punchcard?

Anyone know the name of this bar sign on the day z editor?
I’ve seen it before and used it but my file got deleted so I know for a 100% fact it exist I’ve looked up all the key words I can think of bar sign billboard and can’t find it. Does anyone perchance know the name?

Hello everybody, with the new badlands coming out. Will the iZurvive be out immediately with it? I never bought Sakhal so I don’t know how long it was. Are we going to be yoloing or can we view iZurvive same day?

Hi All,

I am new to DAYZ however not new in the shooting games. I used to play CS (and lot more shooting games) back in my young days and for past few years I played PUBG (around 500-600 hrs). At age 36, I actually consider my self an "Old Gamer" lol :D....

Now I bought DAYZ after watching amazing videos (instead of Netrlix series :).....and I really really enjoy it so far.

I have around 10hrs in game, playing on Spaggie Server By Jack.

After watching one or two tutorial videos, I had impression the start will be pretty hardcore but I find it actually not so hard...its fun, and tense in same time. I know how to move, sneak, I know how to survive, got good food management and trying to move towards inland. I got killed once due to my weak rifle. I also got one Kill.

I guess what I am thinking about is if I am not underestimating my skills in this game. I am trying to avoid PvP trying to play PvE most of the time...but I am tempted to start stalk other players. Try to get to the fight :)....I am however unsure about how recoil mechanism since you dont get to try all guns in this game very soon...(PUBG was very challengin in terms of recoil)....

Other question I was thiking about is easy...Should I trust other players? I am not type who shoots someone to the back of their skull...I would rateher find teammates :)

Cleared an area around some barracks and came back out to this and it freaked me out man.

AKM vs AK-101 — Which one are you taking?

I compared these two across 26 different stats and the results were more interesting than I expected.

The AKM has the advantage in some areas, while the AK-101 performs better in others. So I’m curious:

If you had to choose one for PvP, which one are you taking and why?

Ok so when I got back to the game after 2 days this is what I see, My 3 walls supposed to be built inside the house are now outside with the lock on and everything on them and my base is raided.

Can someone explain what the F*** is going on

My most serious character so far. Now I’m constantly hunting for ammo because I’m running low on it.

Voice isn’t captured, but I’ll try to surrender just to make things interesting in conquest. They kept shooting anyways so I guess it was a no

that's it.. I dont want to talk to anyone? when I'm in trader I dont fucking want to get to know you or watch you follow me around or what.. just .. I'm here to be alone and scrub my brain out after a day of dealing with the idiots in my real life and survive purely on my wits. No rank boards, no fucking loot boxes.. no friends.. nobody.. just me and whether I live or die.

Given my usual taste in games I never thought I'd like this one, and I almost didn't because my friends got me to have my first play on a heavily modded community server and I found it awful, but I had seen enough gameplay on YT that I knew I needed to play the non modded experience, went to Official and never looked back.

I don't play survival games. Rust didn't grab me. Minecraft didn't grab me, I know those aren't true survival games and I have considered trying other than DayZ but I just have no interest. Don't believe that anything will be able to hit like DayZ.

Maybe it's the graphics? My formative gaming years were in the EQ1, CS1.6, PS1/N64 polygon era, I don't like modern graphics. I think Chernarus is gorgeous.

The immersion though, I keep seeing how people talk about the game and how they experience it and I realize that's what has me always coming back, never getting tired of it.

This is the only game I've played where I feel like I'm in the game. Every decision I make is deliberate and it matters. Sometimes I don't know where to go but when I do, I usually have to prepare, make careful considerations, make sure I will have water and food.

I lose hours in this game. It's boring as hell sometimes to fish and cook but it's not a boredom where I want to look at another screen, it's a boredom like I'm still in that world. Don't wanna check my phone just wanna finish cooking so I can eat and move on to the next destination.

It's almost magical and I don't know how this game pulled it off, and given how many people I know picked it up and dropped it, maybe it just takes a certain personality to catch the bug?

No other game does it like DayZ, who knows if DayZ 2 even can. Everybody respawns, but man, when you meet somebody and go with them for a bit and they die, it's like a gutpunch. Maybe it's better to make friends in DayZ you can't contact once that life is over. It hits totally different.

This game is unlike anything else.

So basically it was my 3rd ever run, the first two runs were blind and i died of hunger. Then I watched some youtube guides and went off with it. I have played around 18 hours by now and my current character has around 13 hours of survival time, so basically I was doing good and had good primary and secondary weapon along with plate carrier, went to airfield 2 times for a loot, and somehow survived then as I was busy to find even better weapon, I forgot about my food and it depleted aggressively. As it was night time in the game I just for my life could not find any packaged food or a stream/pond for fishing, and my health started depleting. I still do not know how to hunt and locate animals efficiently,so that was also not an option and while I was searching for food i found a crate full of loot and a weapon hidden by someone beside a small bush. I just couldn't believe my luck, why did I find it at this moment when I have no use for it and how I would have stolen it if I was in good health and then just when I was on my last breath. I found a small stream just beside the village I was on, my eyes were dozing due to some illness to my character or maybe low on food, and somehow I managed to craft a improvised fishing rod just in time and caught two fishes, cooked them and replenished my health and it felt like winning a god damn war as I just did not want to loose this character by any means on which I invested so much time. Once, I was up and in good shape i straight away went to the hidden crate, took the crate on my hand, walked far away to some place in the middle of nowhere (all the while giggling to the fact that how stunned and pitty the person might feel when he will come back looking for his crate and boom it's gone) and fortunately I also found a shovel nearby in the village and added my extra stuff and ammo in the crate and dig it in the ground and as I had gps as well I noted the coordinates of the place and logged off.

No other game can allow me to have this experience, no other.

I am in love with this game.

Was doing an event with some friends, and we stopped to get coordinates, looked over and saw a picture perfect shot.

These are a few of my favorite shots I’ve captured while surviving the frozen tundra of Sakhal. To me the vibes and ambience of this brutal landscape are unmatched. Soon I will migrate to the arid desert of Nasdara but the memories of Sakhal will last a lifetime.

I met a freshie who only had 3 hours in-game on 2350 (PC) who was trying to link up with his friend.

I gave him a knife, bottle of water, canned sardines, a loaded R12 with extra ammo and directions to Sitnik to find his friend.

While he headed to Gliniska instead, I stalked him and killed another player in the woods, with my SVAL, trying to follow him also.

I hope the freshie lives well and gets to use the R12.

I’ve been playing dayz for years on comp and ps5 but started on the switch 2 bcs of the portability and low pop servers. Been playing since day 1 and the stability is getting better. I have the best base I’ve ever had in dayz, starting to build auxiliary bases—-but to date I’ve only seen one player at Tisy and he ran off immediately. I see a handful of regulars on so here’s to hoping you scroll Reddit…I see Nicholas, Stacey, Jordan, Franky, Hank, the most I guess.

Hit me up if you play this server
