There's still quite a large player base that frequents the game, helping to keep the world alive and ever-evolving.

While many things have changed concerning DayZ, many of the DayZ tips available are still applicable. Players who are just starting their adventure will definitely want to look at the DayZ tips spread throughout this list.

To better help newbies and veterans alike navigate the dangerous world of DayZ and its undead inhabitants, this list has been updated for clarity, including better photos and information. Here's a look at how to play DayZ. Upon spawning into the world of Chernarus, players may find themselves a little overwhelmed.

There is a massive open-world standing before and everyone starts equipped with a few odd items that are basically unusable at this point in the game. No matter the type of food, survivors need a sharp object to either cut the can open or slice the chicken in quarters. The beach is the perfect location to search for a small stone. Once players have found their quarry, they can equip the stone and then select the option to craft an improvised knife.

This rock can be used as a weapon in a pinch, but is better at food-related tasks first. Anyone who is playing DayZ correctly will spend much of their time looting the game world.

Only a small bit of time will be spent actually fighting anyone. To prepare for a fight, though, survivors will need better-tier gear. So, learning loot locations should be a priority. First off, the Piano House, which has three doors and a piano on the first floor, usually has ammunition, guns, food, and clothing that spawn at random.

Next, players should check police stations for weapons, ammunition, and clothing. Finally, exploring military tents can yield high-end weapon attachments, food, military clothing, backpacks, and the occasional firearm. Survivors may not get lucky every time, but chances are high they'll find something useful each time they visit a new spot. Alternatively, some stake out one of these locations like the police station and ambush other players.

Of course, a game based around loot will have gear that is almost required of the player. First off, an improvised stone knife is always useful. Secondly, bandages and rags will save a player's life if they get into a scrap. Finally, a sawed-off IZH shotgun can work wonders. Why the shotgun? Well, besides fending off the occasional zombie and ambushing players in close-quarters, the sawed-off shotgun is useful if players have been ambushed.

Most bandits will request that players drop their weapons and gear immediately. Would be prisoners can then pull it quickly and blast away. Players wanting to utilize this trick will first need the shotgun itself and a hacksaw to saw off the barrel.

Finding both can be a bit troublesome. If they spend enough time looting Chernarus, they'll break a leg eventually. A broken leg in this game means players cannot walk, run, or even crouch, becoming stuck in the prone position. Survivors could use a wooden splint to repair the fractured limb, but a morphine injection is easier.

The item takes up just a single slot in the inventory, making it even more useful and conservative. Skalitsky Island is located just south of Krutoy Cap and spawns numerous weapons like the Mosin and the Shotgun. Located in the far northwest corner of the map, the Tisy Military base has the chance to spawn high tier loot. Skip to main content. Level up. Earn rewards. Your XP: 0. Updated: 14 Aug am.

As well as many houses and other residential buildings that will spawn food and water. Nearby most of the spawn points and along the coastline so it will be easy to find. As a potentially dangerous area, the best strategy would be to get in and out as fast as possible. More on this topic: dayz.
