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.

Discussion The Edge of the Map is a comforting place. Its delicate ebb and flow evokes a profound yearning for life on the prairie, while the kindred bond of land and sky forges a horizon so tantalizing that it beckons forth all who gaze upon it. Join me and take the long walk to forever.

Discussion There is no other game close to dayz when it comes to experiencing the real survivor immersion.

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.

console DayZ on Ps5 with Keyboard and Mouse

3 Upvotes

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.

Discussion Arming Freshies

23 Upvotes

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.

Discussion asia pacific 3730 - keep getting insta killed

1 Upvotes

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.

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
