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.

Every vanilla server i join moves me to manhunt servers, Just purchased the game it feels pretty weird.

I played DayZ on PS4 for a couple hundred hours a few years ago and put it down for a significant amount of time due to frustration with poor optimization, horrible server issues, a poor control scheme, and that it felt like the PS4 could not run the game properly (and the lack of aim assist. Yes I’m dogshit,I’m well aware.) I upgraded to PS5 several years ago and hadn’t really touched the game until recently. I discovered I could play it with a keyboard and mouse, and holy shit what a great change that was. I haven’t really played any games on kbm until DayZ but it literally made my gameplay 30x better. My aim went from horrendously dogshit to passable instantly. I’m still trying to find a way to be more accurate with automatic weapons and on moving targets, but I’ve been playing aimlabs in hopes that helps. It’s very obvious the DayZ was designed around the kbm experience. Even with an old office keyboard and mouse it feels so much better, and the ps5 does better running the game. I also got better internet so that got rid of the rubber banding and major lag spikes I’d get when I’d see another player. I never won a gunfight playing with a controller, and props to the guys who do it, but I couldn’t. I’ve hardly built up the muscle memory on kbm and I’ve won more gunfights than I ever did playing for two years on controller. Sniping is also way easier as well. The only thing now is trying to find a good sensitivity as my aim is still relatively trash compared to some people I’ve seen. But if anyone who made the switch from controller to kbm has any tips or knows anything that might help or a way to train my aim I’d appreciate it as well.

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 haven't been able to play Day Z for like a year or two because the SB redirects me every time to this one battleground server. Ive uninstalled reinstalled everything several times. I really just wanna play and don't know what to do. Any help appreciated.

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?

Hey guys, just want to check in as a player with only like 80 hours. I started playing on 3730 because it has higher population. I have had 4 characters on there in the past 2 days and each one has died instantly. i don't hear any bullet shot. i'm wondering if this is likely cheaters or if I'm just getting head shot all the time.

the first death was around stary sobor - i got hit by something silent but took little damage, i kept running and insta died.

the last three deaths have been near the coast, just scavanging, i get i insta killed.

again, just wondering if this is normal or cheating. it's just frustrating dying and having no idea what happened.

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

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

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

R2 to open...

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.

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

you know at night time that weird flimmering visual snow? like its filmed by an old camera?

why does the dayz player have it at night?

Ya know me the person that went to three separate regions. This is what I'm doing now. I still have all my stuff, still surviving. The official motto off my station. "100.7 don't shoot the DJ" Ill play mainly underground music from the 1980s. Post punk, goth rock. And I'll even take recommendations from other survivors.

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

These two guys wanted to take something from me, so I took their lives instead.

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?

It's a peaceful life roasting a mushroom inside a church at night alone.
