Hopefully some of these tips helped you out! Stay safe and good luck surviving.

The last tip is honestly the best advice you can give to a newbie. People leave the game out of the frustration of being able to die in a moment's instance after looting for hours. Don't be afraid to die. Treat it like flappy bird: you know you're going to die eventually, the fun part is testing how far you can go.

My heart starts beating so hard when I get into pvp

I think the most important tips is really the last one. More I play less I'm scared. I used to die of hunger at the beginning, because I was too slow to explore the places, I was scared of zombies. Now I'm a bit better, but always loose my PVP. Next step is to be able to master the PVP or stay hidden and I should be good to survive a bit longer.

Best tip I have for any player is get better at hip fire. The time it takes to go from hip to ads is what causes a lot of people to lose gunfights. Practice with zombies and eventually you can start tagging them from 50-75m from the hip. Works in first or third person. Also get comfortable with full auto. If you can get your hip fire spread right a quick spray from any weapon will drop any player. Regardless if the plate carrier is on or off. Don’t be scared to push a sniper or a group. Most people panic if you push. If it’s a sniper they probably suck at close range hence why they are sniping people. Groups are a different breed, but most of the time groups have terrible call outs and bad commo between themselves. Try and get in between them and let them shoot themselves. If you kill one and they have arm bands on put that shit on and go ham. People will hesitate to shoot if they see a friendly arm band. Gives you a massive advantage. To be fair most of these tips are mediocre at best for a vet but for a new player this could take months to figure this stuff out. It’s easier to loot when they are all dead.

The press vest spawns in police stations, guard shacks, and police car wrecks. They might spawn in the residential buildings surrounding police stations too, but im not sure if they spawn specifically in all residential areas.

A really good tip is with damaged round is combin them with non damaged rounds and it will change them from damaged to not damaged

Best tip was #20 Syl. And I would add one tip - sometimes is beneficial to make friends instead of engagement in pvp.

Probably best lesson I ever learned was no matter how geared you are, all you need to do is get punched once with a heavy and it’s over

Would like to see a video at some point if possible of common spots where players tend to hang out whether it's for camping, scoping out a place before going in, flank routes, sightlines etc. I bet there's a few new spots that only a handful of players know since there hasn't been any map changes for a long time. (NWAF an exception for the future lol)

your last tip was so spot on that you earned yourself a subscriber!

Me n my team usually say “he’s in that building” Then begin to argue with each other about description alllll while fighting someone

In the new patch dosent the rag shoes use the same sound file as the starter shoes ?

Took these tips to my heart and fought of a online raid by almost 10 guys with my 2 buddys

Im relatively new to dayz, but im loving it so far. One of my lessons learned is , if you can see 1 person , assume there is actually 3. If you see 3 ppl assume there are actually 5. And there will always be a third party , Always. There will always be a player more patient than you, and there will always be a more aggro player than you. If you try to give the benefit of the doubt in every encounter, you will be taken advantage of. Ive met sone awesome , nice good ppl And some real slimy lame-o's lol.

Pro tip, stab vests and press/ballistic vests have the same protection against bullets, the stab however has worse melee protection.

Very helpful. The part I'm tired of is being solo

If anyone is looking for a custom server to play: DayZ Central is on all platforms and is a very good server. Factions, trader, better spawns, and much more.

Good luck finding a gun cleaning kit! in my 3 weeks playing a lot, I've only found ONE!

Useful tip, if you like official but don't like playing against cheaters, play livonia, I haven't ran into a cheater yet but encounter them constantly on chernarus

Syl is just a bandit believe me. 🤣

I remember one of my first times playing the game I was looting around and I turn a corner and get shot six times. My heart rate skyrocketed

Your Bar for me is hotel- I call the red brick with the counter/half house that comes up on izurvive as the blue mug icon the bar. Large hotel is the big ones in cities like cherno. The two story with a counter the bed in the one room I call the pub

Getting my ass kicked in a fast pace pvp server with a small map and gear every where. About two weeks and I feel soo much more comfortable and confident when I go into a official vanilla server.

PD window vault has been patched in 1.20 :(

I actually disagree with #19. On flat ground? Sure. But if you're shooting up or downhill, or engaging multiple targets at different ranges, zeroing can throw you off I recommend just getting used to eyeballing it. The only time zeroing really works is if you're shooting extremely long range at someone that's staying roughly the same distance from you (i.e. theyre in their base and you have LOS)

Good stuff, nice content. Good music and well mixed. Great tips!

bullet condition, at least in 1.19, doesnt affect if your gun will jam! just overall condition and magazine condition

A gun won’t jam if the mag and gun are in good condition. The bullets can be badly damaged but if the gun and mag are only worn it won’t jam

this video was very helpful thanks and shout out to polvo man, love his streams

10:33 I usually prefer to call them ,,Over there‘‘ 😂😂

I dont want the adrenaline to disappear tbh :D

Thanks for the tips I keep getting killed and I have mo idea that they were even there, very frustrating especially when I’m geared

very very nice go on my Mann

Worn, damaged, or badly damaged bullets no longer have an effect on jamming. However magazines and the gun itself still does. Just wanted to let you know. Great video though. GG

Saw one of your shorts and immediately subscribed

One false thing in here. The feet wraps will make the same amount of noise as the regular shoes (sneaker etc) you spawn wity. So no they are not more quiet (from 1.20 update)

Damaged bullets don’t have any effect on the gun jamming at all. The only thing that makes a difference is the mag and the gun itself

Idk if anyone doesn't know this as its common knowledge at this point (or should be) But with damaged ammo, you can 'fix' it by mixing it with another stack that is pristine

He said “point 308” 🤣. I know not everybody is a gun person but man that’s funny af

That gas can move knocked me smooth out lol

I needed this big time lol. Thank you!

Going into sticky situations the "step down" approach usually works out most of the time. Getting you a kill or getting to keep the thing's you've worked to gather for the last however long. If you think you can sprint then normal run. If you think you can run then crouch. If your crouching then you should be crawling. If your having to crawl your ass shouldn't be there anyway. Lol Sometimes letting an unsuspecting player pass by can be a bigger win for you. At least your not at the coast a couple minutes later and you didn't throw your pc across the room. All good things.😂

Improvised backpack. Every. Time. I also store my mosin in said back as much as I can because it's big. With an improvised suppressor.. Its even bigger and more obvious. You forgot about "Jamaican" house! We had random names for things like the grass Hill behind topolin HQ was "The Grassy Knowl" because of the amount of people that'd sit and snipe from the bushes into HQ Double blue id call glass or tech building depending who I'm on with As for death match servers I have always maintained its the best way to learn the game. You never know when you'll run into someone and will often forget the recoil or slow down when looting. Always always assume someone's watching you.

Gear Fear , often a mindset witch can lessen then fun you could be having.

Best Tip: PVP more. Nerves are the #1 killer.If your heart is pounding out of your chest...you will probably screw up. Problem with this game is the rampant KOS. So many heads with no interest in worthwhile interaction.

“Double blue” is glass factory to us

Newb here, started playing a few days ago and i love it. The PvE aspects are easy for me because ive got ridiculous hours in games like The Long Dark. My problem is the PvP. The controls are so confusing and I forget inputs when I'm in a firefight. The game is also kind of janky with movement. I've played FPS for decades, but this is very different. Not sure if they done it like that for realism? Seems you shouldn't have to hit 2 buttons for ADS and a 3rd to peek. Its just alot to get used to after playing a certain way for so long. I can survive on my ability to play survival games and being a ghost. However, as soon as i see someone its like I've never played a video game in my life. Its so strange. 😂

The plate carrier is so easy to find that I skip all other vests. Find some food and melee weapon and then I yeet myself to Cherno to Balota to Zeleno. Boom I'm fully geared.

Ultimate booby trap tips: place a landmine or bear trap right on the other side of your set tripwire. I do this because I personally have tripped tripwires and still had time to run away before the grenade killed me. Besides if they're wearing a plate carrier a landmine alone doesn't kill but if you put a grenade in the tripwire too theyre screwed. My favorite combo is the pox grenade tripwire and landmine... they get knocked uncon from the landmine and when they wake up its already too late if they don't have a pox antidote

beautifull ytou are a real pro man!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always wear a armband. This will make me look like I am in a team, even tho I am solo most of the time. I have found that some people dont shoot right away when seeing me. Also I try to talk to players when I am somewhat fresh. I also never reveal all my stuff and when I meet someone say I have no bullits or a gun even tho I might have a pistol or bullits. And I never get to attached to random players I meet and have some adventure with. Its part of the game to play with someone for 1 hour or something and then just lose them. Or they die whatever. It can suck but its all part of the fun never knowing what happened to the random person. Also I am the person who can run with someone for a hour and then I am like I am out, I run away and then like 10 minutes later I kill them hahaha, or I just vanish and just leave and never see them again. I also never reveal my real name. I usually say my name is Charly or Bob. Idk these 2 names are random but sometimes I forget that I was named Bob and I call out my friend as Bob and then they get confused...

Honestly thats why i just go nomad n keep the essentials. More likely to improve my survival chances. 'N patience....Jesus. dont know how many times just being patiently hidden saved my ass

Nice one syl 🦝🦝🦝🤙

Last night I log into my server on console, as soon as I got on I saw a guy in my area that I had logged in and I shot him and then there was three more I solo won against four people. Thanks for the tips

Thats some really really good tips 👌

gear fear is real

Point 308 was the most vile thing ive ever heard

This video was helpful. I play techs modded server 3-xbox and it’s PvP heavy. Lots of good snipers on there

Bohemia recently said bullet condition doesnt effect weapon jamming

Zombies over 300m in front of you arnt there for you they are there cos someone else is close to them or just past through

u give me a lot of information i click sub. Thank you bro.

its rare to be first so i claim this prize🥇

That's some slick rap game in the intro there. 😅

Came here because of shooting two shells from pump straight to dude's chest and getting killed with one shot lol

Unfortunately, on alot of servers you can only set traps in your base.

Awesome stuff man, thank you!

the building that looks like the "watermelon" building but is yellow and green we call the packer building

man need a tips vid for just surviving without pvp lol... i tried this game for 4 hours i couldnt find enough food to survive lol

damaged bullets don’t do anything, just the mag and gun 👍🏻

extremely important.

The press vest offers the same protection as the satb vest, with no slots and heavier of course

2500 hours in and I still get gear-fear. 🤣

Spent 3000+hour in this game. Number 20 is the hardest. Especially in Official server.

Why u never shown me theese :O We could rule so hard with thoose tips :3

At first i thought i was watching a Harry Mack video😂

Bullets can be badly damaged, it doesnt increase the chance of jamming the weapon. Only the gun and mag does.

I play on console and my biggest problem is the aiming. The dead zone in this game is awful and I have to move the analog stick like a whole quarter of an inch before my aim actually starts moving, and then I just sweep right over my target because the sensitivity is too fast even on the lowest settings. If I'm on an MnK enabled server (like most good community servers) I just do not stand a chance and it's pretty not fun. I'm pretty much reduced to playing on vanilla servers to avoid the mouse and key twitch shooters and then everyone's just always in party chat with their friends and KOS.

My advice is practice in pvp servers. You will learn quick when or when not to engage and most importantly how to move under the radar.

Be bold when you have nothing to lose. It's entirely possible to take out a couple or armed players if they're regrouping in dwelling.....with your fists. Keep the initiative on your side. Hiding like a rat with your heart beating out of your chest hoping someone walks into your firing sight sucks.

I call PD cop shop and the out houses thunder boxes

I love this game but I play on a laptop. It’s what I have. I stand zero chance to a guy right in front of me with buckshot. Simply having ethernet is enough to kill me.

Ive seen and done unspeakable things in this game

the green house the red one the one we killed that guy one time and that one tower

I've always heard double beige called fortress

honorable mention for me

Silver for me 🥈

7:23 - "Tisy is being camped everywhere." Not on official. Hardly anybody goes there anymore.

whoa, 4 thousand hours and I didn't know you could climb through PD windows, argggg, thanks for the tips

Here's a tip that's keeps me alive. Never rush into anything and stay hidden. Be a ghost.

Useful...unless the guy you run into in nw airfield combat logs...

I'd imagine putting a Rag on your face would stop the laughing from eating Human Flesh too?

My friends and I call it Christmas instead of watermelon lol

Totally not watching this after getting ambushed by 5 people

Damaged bullets does not matter they will not jam your gun

errrrh stealth / rag shoes are now using the same sound files as trainers so there quieter than boots thats but in no way quieter than sneakers / trainers

“Double blue” was not the right building I’m guessing?? I think everyone and their uncles call the building you made the bottle suppressor in double blue.

I heard damaged bullets no longer makes your gun jam?

Do you know if there is a way to report cheaters on official servers?

what about combat backpack, its the best one and u can look behind
