Tip 202; Git Gud

If any new players are looking at this and thinking about picking the game up; First off I highly recommend. Haters are gonna say it’s the buggiest game on the market but I just haven’t seen that side of it, maybe it’s because I play on a slightly modded hardcore server but it runs extremely well - better than I thought. Second, walk into it expecting to go through a whole new “Dark Souls” learning curve and if you’ve never been through something like a souls game just steel yourself for an unforgiving challenge. You’re going to starve, you’re going to dehydrate, you’re going to get lost, you’re gonna lose your gear, you’re gonna die. Simply the nature of the beast and unfortunately before you can properly prevent a mistake, you will have to make it, die and then learn from it. First time I got some actual gear and food to survive, I skinned a chicken, shortly after I took a sip from my water bottle with bloody hands - got cholera. The hospital was picked clean of pills. Died shortly after. Never recovered my shit. First time I ever made it inland to get the REAL loot, I got scratched by a zombie.. no biggie though because I had rags - non-disinfected rags. Bam, got a wound infection. High fever and blurry vision with constant water loss, not a hospital for literally kilometers. Ended up using the one chambered round in my handgun to end the run there. Bring your perseverance because this game is all about learning from your mistakes, but I love the challenge and it’s a hell of a vibe when you’re playing, alone in the quiet just listening to the howling wind in a hollow world, it’s wicked and can get your heart to race when you get yourself into some trouble. Thanks for listening to my TED Talk. PS. My tip: look up the iZurvive map for your preferred map you play on. It’ll become your best friend.

i have a good tip for you, the best item in the game: multivitamins. people ignore these, but when consumed and the pill icon appears, you are resistant to the main 3 viruses. you can drink from rivers, eat/drink with blood on your hands, withstand the rain, eat raw meat etc. and be completely free of risk of infection!!

Tip: Bears and wolves can't follow you into water.

"Do not disarm a landmine with a shovel" - proceeds with an animation looking like straight out of an old Jackass video. God I love this game.

“You always spawn facing North” I didn’t know that. Thanks.

900+ hours here. Still gonna watch cause it's lunch break and I wish I was home playing.

If you're standing next to a fire to dry out, remove your clothes and drop them next to you. They will dry much faster. Standing by a fire until a + appears next to your temp will make you more resilient to the cold. If you roll your car, a wrench (not the adj one) will right it again (not tested this myself yet). Instead of carrying 10 blades, carry 1 and a sharpening stone. Putting a mag in your hand and holding R will reload it providing you have the right ammo in your inventory.

Always face north when spawning! Thank you! Sincerely, frequent bambi

You can eat most of a fruit/vegetable and still cut out the seeds from the last bite. This works on cooked vegetables as well.

Tips: 1) if your holding down a building when someone is trying to kill you place a glow stick or light on the bottom of the stairs so when they are about to push you, you can see they’re shadow coming up. 2) if someone is about to come kill you, do the laying down emote and pretend your dead. It will look like your dead. (Works better when there’s dead zombies by you or other dead players) 3) if your running into a gun fight and have a sniper or extra gun on you, drop it into a bush or somewhere, where you will remember. That way if you die in the fight you can run back to the extra gun. Pointless to fight with multiple guns when only using one. (Works best when your close to a spawn point)

sliding down a ladder will cut you, wearing gloves will prevent this.

One of my favorite things I found out, climb on a car ruin (the ones you find randomly around) and you can kill zombies on top of it's hood but they can't hit you. Just don't fall off!

Even players with thousands of hours be like 'Oh shit I didnt know you could do that?' Great Video

Bout to sit and watch this for 15 even though I’ve got months of game time

if ur in pvp with someone and u know hes cut. Dont push him eventually he'll have to bandage and as soon as u hear the bandage noise? PUSH him immediately. Until u hear that noise though wait and be ready cuz he has no choice now but to bandage or rush u

‘Clouds always head east’ - potentially the most crucial tip.

Rav you forgot the number one tip Aviator Glasses automatically make you more badass then everyone else

You can walk/run half-sideways with W+A / W+D and use freelook to look directly behind you. That way you can see when a zombie following you is attacking you, and if you run right as the zombie is attacking, they will not hit you. You could theoretically run from them indefinitely if you didn't die of hunger, thirst or of the cold :)

6:03 The biggest fish I ever caught IRL, was when I showed up with zero bait, lol. I used a small piece of plastic litter, and caught the tiniest fish. Then I used that to caught a medium sized flounder. Then I used that to catch the biggest 2 catfish I've ever seen in my life. This was over 40 years ago when I was 14 though, so I have no idea how much anything weighed.

When you have a year and a half experience but still learn things

Nothing is for keeps in dayz, allways getting better with each life. All we can do is delay our deaths a lil bit longer each time we learn somthing.

I've filled water bottles with gasoline, poured it into a car, filled up with water again and drunk it. I've never disinfected a water bottle. Just empty and refill with clean water. And I have never gotten sick. If it's just luck idk, but then I'm the luckiest guy in the world 😂

Just started playing this game today and I’m so lost lmao. This helps a bit tho

Thank you for sharing these tips. I learned a lot, and just started playing DayZ again a few days ago. I have not played in many years. Keep up the great work and throw some more tips and stuff in new ones. Be safe bud.

Thank you so much for making these! DayZ can be overwhelming for noobs like me

Thank you for this video!!! I am just starting this grand adventure of a game this week and this is invaluable information! I can finally live past my first hour these days!!

Shows how much thought went into the game tbh

Thanks for the smoke nade tip. I've had times where this would have been useful.

I have always dumped the water from a bottle but never knew you could still get sick from not disinfecting it thank you guess I have been lucky

I don’t have the ability to play this game. But I do enjoy watching other people play. It’s nice knowing the tips. Thanks.

Oh hey, they changed the ump45 animation to include the h&k slap. Your character just pulled back the charging handle once before they changed it. Thats amazing. Also, the reload of the ump is slightly faster than the mp5, because the character doesn't regrab the mag after it is released. You just pull it out in one motion.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I know it could not have been an easy task but it was done well and it was extremely helpful again thx. 🙌🏼💯✊🏼

Hello rav, I recently bought dayz and I've already used a ton of these tips. I love your dayz content!!! Keep posting brother!!!!

Love you rav you are very reliable and I always love new tips and tricks videos

Switched around the EGD and the M6 grenade images! Great video as always though!

Thanks rav, this will definitely help out my gameplay 👍🏻

The detail in this game to keep you alive is amazing.

Ruined Heat packs can also be added to cooking pots with water in them, boil the water and you can reuse the heat packs. Dismantle your gas stove/cooking pot/fuel can after use, as server crashes and restarts will 99% of the time delete the contents.

Brooo,nice videos helped a lot. Big respect to you!

Thank you I needed that last one most of all, great video!

Garden limes gives unlimited stam when held in hands.. randomly came across that recently

The clouds going east is gonna help alot

Thanks for all the tips man! I played a lot of Arma DayZ, looking forward to learning Standalone :D

Nice 1. I'm still coming across new players, so this info is good for them 👍

You can throw meat to distract wolfs, not sure about bears.

That tip where you hack off the end of a shotgun will come in handy as well as firing both barrels at the same time. I usually use the double barrel when I'm attempting to ambush someone (do what I have to do to survive). I'll be able to save more space and have the double barrel as a backup instead of my main armament. 10/10 Rav.

Top notch video, man. I'm a newer player but have killed a lot more than I've been killed. I learned a lot in this video. Thank you for taking the time to make it

THESE TIPS REALLY FRICKING HELP, THANK YOU!

this just sounds like a guide to how to survive irl lol

Taking off shoes makes you nearly silent is huge for gaining the drop on someone

Some good new tips for me as got around 100hours so didn’t know quite a handful, great vid mate cheers

Watched over a 1,000 hours of day z gameplay, I finally have it! Started playing a few days ago and instantly went braindead. Know most of it but been trying to meet up with my twin brother irl in day z and haven't reached each other yet. But think I've found a way with the sun and compass.

open your boot and hood when driving to reduce or stop damage depending on the bullet type if someone tries shooting you from front or behind

This is actually so helpful my homies are gonna flip lol

This was so great , I rewatched it immediately Thanks for the great content

That video was amazing! Thank you so much

I remember when I used the sound strategy to bait something like 10 zombies from the front of a PD

I just started playing and this is going to help me a LOTT!!

really helpful because i just got this game no more than 2 days ago and was really struggling with like basic things.

Just got the game to play with my friends, thanks for the catch up, you earned a sub

The amount of times I said "Ohh thats good to know" and "Wow I'm dumb"

lightin a fire in a house is the best decoy one can have. Many geared players will actually go for houses with smokin chimneys slowin down to peek through the windows which gives you free loot if youre sittin a couple hundred m out with a mosin

wow, been playing Dayz for a long time and that last tip really was a lifesaver, I didn't know that!

Great vid dude super helpful

3:13 this is no longer a good idea, as if you just let it bleed you will now get wound infections. This can be prevented by bandaging the cut with a disinfected bandage, but you will quickly end up with no bandages. *Bandages can be disinfected with alcoholic tincture and iodine tincture*

About finding water in bottles and canteens, DO NOT spill it if you have no other option of calming your thirst (such as decent supply of sodas or other canteen/bottle). It's better to risk getting cholera then dying for sure because of dehydration.

I've been playing DayZ for a couple of years now, Im blown away from how much I learned from this vid. Burying dead zombies? Seriously? I try to avoid killing them around my base but sometimes it's unavoidable

Played back when it was in shambles and honestly having to watch this again to learn what they’ve added and fixed 😭😂

About the repairing stuff, you forgot to mention that the rider jacket requires a leather kit to repair.

Needed something to watch while I wash the dishes... this will do nicely

Great stuff. Really recommend turning the music volume down a tad and/or your voice volume up a tad. I found myself having to struggle to hear some of your vocals at times.

Thanks for that bonus tip. I guess that explains how I got randomly sick. I also didn't know that your blood could clot in the game.

You should do a melee weapons tier list

If starting a new life make sure to keep an eye out for pumpkin patches. Find a knife and harvest as many as you can take. Now run to a big town baby!

Thorough. Great video. Thanks.

Brilliant tips and information buddy, explained very well 👍🏼. Keep up the good work.

I’m Brand fire new to Day-Z, this Vid has just become my bible 😅

11:12 aviators make your cooler LoLz Let’s go.... haha

Great tips bro 👍!

That last tip is a life saver!! I just died from drinking from a “pristine water bottle” lol i even emptied it out and refilled it and i kept losing health until i died 😅 NOW i know to disinfect lol banks man! There's so many tiny things to remember that make a big difference 💪

Keep making these!! Love them!!

Tip 202 Bandana can be used as rags They also make no sound when healing

thanks man very helpful !

Very helpful, thank you!

You can reload magazines in your hand without having to drag the bullets into the combine portion of the hands

These tips are good and all but I can never find loot and starve before I can make it to the next town. Everywhere is always swept clean -__-

hey, I was having doubts about this game but until I watched your review it changed my mind!

great tips buddy, thank you

Only thing i learned from this is about the blood test kit on a bag of blood Well done

Click a random dayz tips video, notice 6 minutes in that we have the same name. Subscribed

The leather tip is super helpful, j thought you needed a barrel and water to tan the hide with lime. Gonna try this right away!

Thanks man!

You can place a campfire in a fireplace. Bears will attack the players that run. So if your with someone during a bear attack stay still.

Tip pressing the button to pick up off the ground will sometimes put items in a pot so check your pot before boiling water I accidentally boiled 2 full magazines

Thank you ! Love the content

Thank you for the help I'm just starting and this has helped me out so much

Day = Completed ❤

I don’t know if this is a tip really but I found an extra backpack and I have been just carrying it in my hands but I fill it with stuff too.

This was very helpful thank you
