Going full hunter has tons of perks. Hunting loot spawns are awesome, chlorine tablets will save you the risks of visiting pumps, and every kill yields insane nutrition value. Plus, chilling by the fire, cooking your game, is just so calming in this otherwise scary game!
That exactly what I do, which is why I'm always on edge around camp areas, but I've not run into many people at them surprisingly, the loot in them easily covers most general needs
I keep trying to run like this on official, but so far I keep being KOSed by players when I stop to cook my meat :-/ Still, I love the survivalist vibe!
I dress up like negan and wait in the bush for someone when I see a player I shoot them in the leg to break it run over handcuff them and kill them with Lucille
Theres another type of animal you can hunt, its bipedal, and unlike other animals, its rather crafty and can be difficult to track down. Nutrition wise, its on par with some other animals, but the permanent buff it gives you is definately worth the effort.
Just add some things. Boar pelts can be used to craft a improvised back pack, same recipe of the burlap improvised one and same upgrade even. Most domestic animals can also be chased on foot, considering they do run away but only for a very short distance. Sheep actually run for about 5 meters or so before going back to their natural pace, making it also a perfect target to kill using meele if u're desperate.
i literally said "oh my GOD" when i saw that sponsor, that shit was so crazy to me. i wasnt expecting a sponsor in the first place, let alone such a fitting sponsor.
7:14 I remember my first encounter with wolves was when I was doing a complete circle of the map on the outskirts. Pitch black and looking for a spot to make a fire, I saw a fence to some camp or something and went in as I heard them howling around me. Big spooky stuff
You dont need fat to fried steaks. That was before. Just drop the steaks in your pam/Pot. Use water with the pot so you boiled the meat. You fish early in the morning you have more chances added to fish with a worm. You kill one of the big wolves. The white one there is a chance the rest will flee.
I enjoy the hunter life. So easy to live long time living of the land. Going into the towns or villages only set you up for ambush. I like having full hunter gear, best and a nice hide out to cook and store gear
Water bottle fish traps are very clutch if you can spare one. New players should really consider this if you are really struggling with food. Not tons of food but may be easier to manage if you are struggling making a pole.
I good gun I recommend to hunt deer in this game is the blaze (Only ever shot deer and goats with it so I dont really know what the damage is like on other animals) and since it has a single mode and a double mode to take down the kill faster. Although it is louder firing both shots at once but if you could quickly grab your meat, fat, pelt, ect and leave its a pretty good gun to hunt with.
This video is a masterpiece! Can’t like it enough. I shot a stag once after tracking it for almost a mile and man that was fun. Of course though, fishing is just the most peaceful thing next to a campfire
Great video dude! The game definetly need provide more depth to elemental craftings with different animal leather and such. Question: What is the holding animation in 2:44? Is that a custom one or im missing something from 1.20? Thanks!!
Yo Asmonidain! I am fan of yours! The animation around 2:44 I believe is simply the gun being pulled back against a surface, like if you bumped into a wall, in this case the tree... Honestly when I was in Free Camera view in VPP Admin Tools the character just sort of did that, but I thought it looked cool so kept it! Hah!
@@Nitno Same here. Yeah, seems to be just a "bug" of the freecam. For a moment I thought they had modified the weapon collision with 1.20 because it looks really natural. Keep it up dude!
The amount of food dropped from hunting depends on what weapon you use, for example the kitchen knife would work better than a crowbar. The butcher knife and hunting knife are top priorites to get the best amount of meat from your hunt.
Honestly, if you want to just keep the food/water up without worrying about it. Gather as much fruit as possible, especially dry fruit and store it in a stick shelter. This is the easiest way and laziest way to survive in Dayz.
Here's another video idea for you. How much damage does a vehicle take if it is behind a gate that gets blown by plastic explosives or a cooking pot bomb. Asking cus I wanna know if the guys who raided my base got away with my Ada or did they destroy it when they blew up the gate.
Nothing like finding a nice stag early on to fuel a trip across the map, personally liking either pioneer or longhorn for hunting for quiet shots(pioneer) or inventory size(longhorn in a holster) but I'm not against chasing a cow with an axe if i have too, and if I'm staying near the coast its fishing after chicken for bones
Thankyou for all your excellent DayZ guides. Please (if you haven't already) could you do a guide to DayZ servers? The differences between creating your own (free via steam), renting one and what the pros and cons are. Also why are servers restarted so often, how to avoid being kicked due to high latency etc. Cheers MJSsge
the thing i have found is that when you shoot an animal you lose part of the steaks but if you run an animal over with a car or truck then all the steaks are pristien
Krazno forest wolves are no joke 🤣 Tier 2 my ass IV had 3 back to back pack spawns, and brass knuckles. . . . . Come at me bro. Kill 3 per pack by melee and they run. My profit was 9 wolves. . . . I built a backpack and tent 🤣
@@Nitno it was 🤣 And the second pack caught me off guard 😂 the first pack ran off and I started harvesting a wolf, until one jumped past my head and I realized the hunt wasent over
Great video thanks. It's a crying shame that you can still only craft a backpack and a shelter with tanned leather. Why not a belt, a knife pouches or a canteen?
One thing i dislike about hunting deer in dayz is you get more meat for a headtshot but if i shot a deer in the head in real life my dad would have scolded me for a unclean kill and possibly a slow painful death, they need to make it so a clean heart shot gives more fat or something.
I just started dayz two months ago so please explain me are wild animals like bears deers stags boars and hares wolves are only in Livonia dlc or what?
Nope they are in Chernarus as well. Some heavily modded pvp servers might disable them like they also do with zombie numbers. Try to look for a more vanilla server.
@@Nitno Idk either since in the clip the guys seems to unload a akm mag into the bear :/. I'd play it safe and keep either a shotgun or another gun on me if I'd ever need it
@@Nitno yeah I'd like to see your paths or the bigger ones cuz I have 3k hours on cherno and just got Livonia and I feel new all over again getting lost it's kind of fun. Man the pvp on Livonia is crazy you run into people everywhere
Are there many animals on Namalsk? I put some frozen tin/cans near a stove yesterday and they disappeared. Is there a specific amount of time you can leave them near a heat source? Cheers 🍻
There are animals on Namalask, need to go deeper into the map most times to find them. The cans just leave near a fire, it should only take a couple minutes to defrost.
Any tips on weapons to use to not ruin the pelts? Do you need to use a specific calibre for each type of animal? If so a weapons guide would be good or if no specific calibre is required even just noting the guns you like to use for hunting would be a good help to beginners. Same with your gear and any items that may make things more efficient such as tackle boxes or specific items of clothing like the fishing hat to store hooks. 👍🏼
Does the way you kill a animail effect its % on the meat... I dont know of its true but when I punch out a chicken I think I get higher % meat then when I shoot it. Also when hunting big animails I try to get headshots. I have never magdumped a animail (besides wolves but I never cut them up and eat them) but does that also effect the meat% also when I kill a animail I usually keep the 5 highest % meat and its usually like 95+. I have gotten like 50% ones but its usually 1 or 2 pieces....
I’m not sure about how you kill it, but I know if your knife is damaged, it will yield less meat. So pristine yields the most meat. Badly damaged will get you the least amount of meat
Going full hunter has tons of perks. Hunting loot spawns are awesome, chlorine tablets will save you the risks of visiting pumps, and every kill yields insane nutrition value. Plus, chilling by the fire, cooking your game, is just so calming in this otherwise scary game!
It really is a great playstyle, fits so well.
That exactly what I do, which is why I'm always on edge around camp areas, but I've not run into many people at them surprisingly, the loot in them easily covers most general needs
My favorite way to play DayZ is always running full Hunter gear, and just living out in the forests. Boarskin backpack only for the drip.
Heck yeah it's so much more satisfying than living from can to can.
Leather backpack is a great bag. Resistance to water and it’s lighter than the combat backpack

You can also fishing in the fountain in town, even small/shallow puddles or rivers. That work 🤣
I thought they patched the fountains in town
Great Video Bro it helped a lot.
Thanks! Anytime!
DayZ needs different types of fish besides the ones we have! I would rather have fish than silly party masks! But to each is their own!
True, it would be exciting to have some rare fish to go for.
This video is a masterpiece! Can’t like it enough. I shot a stag once after tracking it for almost a mile and man that was fun. Of course though, fishing is just the most peaceful thing next to a campfire

Solid tip 💪
Always great videos brother!! 🎉 😊 hunting/fishing is VERY under rated in DayZ man. It can be the best way for food and even money on some servers
Very good point, some servers hunting/fishing money!

Totally agree, it can really set you up for a good run, taking out a large animal and cooking it all.
@@Nitno that's exactly what I try to do, then eat to make space for things i need while looking for better clothes/backpacks
Its 3-4 per Chicken since the update, not 1-2

Totally agree! Need more leather crafting.
You craft the largest bottle source besides jug with tanned leather. The Leather bottle…
@@Nukky_ That's a mod mate.
I’ve gotten 4 breasts off a chicken using steak knife, the object used to cut up the meat will determine the amount you get.
Good call!
Sometimes I just play dayz to see how many animals I can hunt
Yep! There is quite the variety.
Lol awesome sponsor for this video, hello fresh. Glad you are getting sponsors man, take care.
Thanks man! Hope you are well.
Is the bait a necessity to fish or just a nice to have?
Nice to have. For example on Namalsk you can't dig up worms, so you HAVE to fish without bait, but it can take much much longer.
One thing i dislike about hunting deer in dayz is you get more meat for a headtshot but if i shot a deer in the head in real life my dad would have scolded me for a unclean kill and possibly a slow painful death, they need to make it so a clean heart shot gives more fat or something.
Ah interesting! I could see that
I wish they had a canning machine.
That'd be a good idea!
On the server I play on animals are almost non existent. Does this guide go for servers as well?
should be, but some community servers turn down animal spawns to save hardware resources.
I wish you would have included nutritional values of food.
Wolf steak not as good as best steak on filling you up is it?
Bear steak seems to be the best. Yeah I don't do that deep of a dive, check out Wobo for a more analytic approach with numbers and stats.
@@Nitno I’ve watched a lot of Wobo. But it’s hard to watch his videos in sequence. I wish he had put them into playlists
In this most previous ipdate it seems as if they've decreased the animal spawns,aside from some chickens i haven't encountered any other animals.
That is odd! Are you playing an official server?
@@Nitno I am
@@bluewolf_jd7665 Ah okay, weird then huh!
@@Nitno Indeed,it sucks I really enjoyed setting up a base and then hunting to get food,call me weird but there's something really calming about it.

@@Nitno vanilla servers and chernarus thanks 👍
Would be nice to point out where to aim on the animals. Like gamer logic says headshots, but do you actually want to aim for the heart/lungs?
I do believe head preserves the most meat in dayz
Can the blaze kill a bear with a double headshot?
I want to say it would take more than that. I don't have the exact numbers
@@Nitno Idk either since in the clip the guys seems to unload a akm mag into the bear :/. I'd play it safe and keep either a shotgun or another gun on me if I'd ever need it
Nitno as an experienced cherno player that just got Livonia you should do loot routes on that map tooo!!!!!!

I've heard that you don't need to use food to break wolf aggro. Any item will have the same effect.
Interesting, possible! I'll have to test it more.
Didn't know fat prevented food from burning i thought it only increased/kept the nutritious value of items prepared
Ah yes, my apologies. This was changed in 1.17, in the past you would burn food without fat or water. Now it just removes nutrition. You are correct.
I got a question about the net trap, i just want to know when you get the trap? Like just drop it and come back after 5 mins or ?
Yeah it's closer to 10-15 minutes. Have to leave the area too.
Are there many animals on Namalsk?

Hmm just making sure, are you on a modded server that may have disabled/ reduced? If vanilla then I find most near wooded area
I be good on food but i always die because of water
Ah dang. I suggest filing up to full as a freshy at a well. Then keep your eye out for chlorine tabs often in hospitals to clean water with.
