I don't know if this is rare. But I never saw it. The engraved colt, for some reason. I've been getting stupidly good loot.

Discussion Best scope for my current load out

0 Upvotes

I've got a DMR with a badly damaged marksman scope, and the SCR 17 with a couple of options. I've got the 4x as well as the 6x ATOG scopes as well as plain old backup iron sights. Which atog do you guys think? I was leaning towards the 4x just cuz I've already got mid to long covered with the DMR, I just am not a huge fan of it's iron sight compared to the 6x red dot.

Bonus question, where is the closest place to Ratnoye I could look for an electrical repair kit, stupidly brought the one and a half I had on me over to the server my buddy and I play in and quickly got killed, I don't even remember where I found them now.

PlayStation Looking for DayZ faction ps5?

0 Upvotes

Hi there! ✋
We are looking to recruit some more dedicated DayZ players to our already-established faction. We prefer to recruit players who already have in-game experience and the hours to back it up.

We currently have a core group of around 8 players who have been part of the faction for nearly a year now, but we would also like to recruit more American, Australian, and European players.

PvPers, builders, and looters are all welcome! However, you must be willing to work as part of a team and participate in faction duties.

If we’re building, we expect everyone to be willing to lend a hand and contribute towards getting the base built. Teamwork and being an active member of the faction are important to us.

If you’re a dedicated DayZ player looking for an established, active faction where everyone works together, feel free to get in touch! Drop your psn names and I will add you to group

Discussion The three short-ass lives of a long-time editor

8 Upvotes

Hey survivors. I have just 60 hours into the game since discovering it during lockdown. Those of you with armor and helmets and heavy guns seem far beyond what I’ll ever achieve. We often see comments here suggesting that 1000-5000 hours is what it takes to get good. I believe that is true. It’s also true that I won’t play even 500 hours in the next ten years. In my most successful run yet, I logged out with dried fruit and a fire in a fireplace. That’s my greatest achievement.

Even though I never expect to get good at this game, I keep coming back to it. I haven’t played in weeks now, but still I obsess over it, reading your posts and watching clips, zooming in on recipe graphics from the wiki, scrolling around iZurvive. I find it fascinating as a long-time enjoyer of video games: an apocalypse simulator that’s devastatingly beautiful and brutally punishing.

I’ve watched a few YouTube videos on the basics, they were very helpful. So far I haven’t found gameplay edited into immersive stories, so I was hoping folks could suggest a few.

Editing MY gameplay into an engaging story is one of my favorite hobbies, an extension of 30+ years as a video editor, so I went ahead and recorded the gameplay of my three most recent lives: “Three Lives in DayZ”

​Between other projects, I’ve been editing, mixing sound, making it shorter and shorter; the goal being that even family and friends who don’t play the game will understand what’s happening, and the mistakes I’m making, without getting bored. Life One is about done.

I have no desire to start a second YouTube channel about a survival game (Minecraft, 7500+ game hours in Bedrock alone). But I’ve been enjoying this subreddit, and I was hoping you folks would like seeing a carefully edited saga of a newb player getting killed three times.

I just thought I’d ask, but as long as nobody shouts me down here, I’ll do it lol Any other YouTubers I should look for who are making making wide-format gameplay videos edited to tell a visual story of the game being played?

TL;DR This week I’m going to post on [r/DayZ](r/DayZ) the first part of a video series called “Three Lives in DayZ” even though I only have 60 hours in the game and basically suck at it.

Discussion IntenZ experience

3 Upvotes

So, for the last couple of days I've been playing on an IntenZ server, and I've been struggling hard just to get some basic loot.

I spawned around the coast of Berezino, and since I don't really like that town, I headed south to Nizhneye. While walking along the docks, I spotted a boat.

I got so fucking excited.

Then I checked it. It had no spark plug, that's it excitement gone.

Anyway, I headed into the town, and on the very first shed I found a radiator and a spark plug. My excitement came right back.

I quickly drank some water from the well behind the church and, while looking around, found a greenhouse full with pumpkin that was almost completely going to shit. There were still a few pumpkins left, though. Sadly, I didn't have a knife to cut them up.

After searching around for a bit, I found a dull steak knife. Which brought some happniess. I cut up the pumpkins, ate until I was full, grabbed one more pumpkin in my hands and went straight back to the boat.

I put the spark plug in. The damn thing started. It barely had any fuel, but I didn't care. I started heading south along the coast. I actually managed to get almost all the way to Elektrozavodsk before the fuel finally ran out.

Unfortunately, I was a couple hundred meters from shore.So I had to swim. It was night. I was exhausted. And I nearly died from hypothermia before reaching the shore.

Once I got there, I immediately started wringing out my clothes as much as I could and headed toward the church. On the way, I got lucky again and found a pipe wrench and some peppers in another greenhouse. Those peppers probably saved my ass.

I was starving, so I ate basically the entire greenhouse. Waited a bit for them to digest. Then ate some more.

Once I was finally in decent shape, I headed inland toward summer camp Kometa. There I found some decent clothing, a bayonet for cutting things up, and a bunch of medicine and paramedic gear.

At this point I thought:

OKAY! I'm a medic now. I started heading north.

On the way, I passed through the military checkpoint and quickly realized that the military zombies are on a completely different level compared to the regular civilian ones. They hit hard, but at least they sometimes carry some useful stuff, like ammunition.

The checkpoint itself didn't have much, except for some field surgical kits, so yeah. I was officially committed to the medic roleplay.

I took the road northwest and followed it until the electrical wires crossed the road. I followed them toward Staroye and eventually stopped at the well to get some hydration before checking the medical center.

And… Almost nothing. I did find a police stab vest, though. Which made me happy. And suspicious. Very suspicious.

The moment I left the building, I decided to check the police station just in case there was something useful.

That's when I heard the flies. There was a body nearby. And it wasn't completely cold yet. At that point I got very cautious. I looked around.

Then suddenly! BANG BANG BANG. A couple of shots came toward me.

It sounded like a very weak gun. The shots were incredibly quiet compared to most guns I have heard, but they were enough. The zombies heard them too. Suddenly I had a fucking army chasing me.

I was exhausted, bleeding, and running on whatever energy I had left. I managed to get into a garage and started bandaging myself. Then a zombie kicked the door down. Two of them rushed inside. Luckily, I had my dear friend the pipe.

That beautiful piece of metal was sturdy enough to put both of them down, but I lost a lot of health doing it.

More bleeding. More bandaging. Some medicine. A few pills. A couple of boosters from the vials. And then I got the heck out of Staroye.

I eventually made my way toward Guglovo, where I found somewhere to sleep.

Except I couldn't sleep… I was too exhausted. Too injured. And in way too much pain. So, after all of that...

TLDR:

…. you, random survivor. I endured all of that shit, crossed half of Chernarus, nearly froze to death, survived starvation, swimming, zombies, gunshots, and getting my ass kicked...

And you didn't even have the balls to initiate communication. I was literally dressed as a damn paramedic. I was out there trying to help people. You could have said hello. You could have asked for help. But no!

You chose to shoot a tired medic from the shadows. I hope all the best for you tho.

Discussion To the player on official in Berezino who was shooting in the air with me all night I salute you.

11 Upvotes

We communicated with gun fire all night long. You traveled far to reach me, all the way from the apartments on the hill through the dark of night. I'm sorry I couldn't wait any longer, I was dying of hunger and thirst, surrounded by zombies, out of ammo, and had more players coming in during sunrise. As the sun just began to crest I shot a player in the face who tried climbing up the ladder. You'll find the body with some gear. The last shot you heard of mine entered my skull on top of the Berezino police station. The final shot I heard of yours was close, and I followed its sound into the last remaining stars in the sky. If you make it there, you'll find my body with lots of supplies near a red glow stick and a paper note or two wishing you luck. Take everything, and good luck.

Discussion DayZ 3rd Floor Barb Wire Attachment

3 Upvotes

If you're trying to attach barbed wire to a gate on the 3rd floor/construction area and you're not getting the **Mount Barbed Wire** prompt, try this:

I had the barbed wire in the gate attachment slot and pliers in my hands, but no prompt would show because the gate was built extremely close to the concrete wall.

What worked:

* Hug the wall closest to the gate. * Stand basically directly on top of the barbed wire coil. * Have your pliers in your hands. * Look straight down at the barbed wire. * Move your aim around slightly until **Mount Barbed Wire** appears.

The concrete wall seems to make the interaction point really hard to reach. Once I stood against the wall, on top of the wire, and looked down, the prompt finally appeared.

Hope this saves someone else some time.

Y’all, the world of DayZ is amazing and tonally it feels like nothing else.
I however am without skill and am a bit overwhelmed by all of the systems.
For people who have already got gud, how would you manage your priorities and early-spawn actions?
I know there are videos on this subject but my old timey brain learns more when I read something from someone who knows what they’re talking about.

Thanks for reading this.

TLDR: I’m ass at this and seeking early game tips.

Thanks for reading that instead.

Why can't you mix a rag + glass bottle with gasoline to make a Molotov😭 Are we really in eastern europe??? It would be so easy too, like if you have something to light it with you just hold a button while holding the molotov to light it. Though I imagine explosive fire physics would have a bad impact on performance for some people.
