- I picked up another game with a pretty punishing early learning curve. I wanted to share what worked for me to get started successfully in DayZ. I hope this video helps you enjoy the game as well!

just started playing 2 days ago, nice refreshener. 12:05 i've found double clicking is a bit faster but it can sort rather wonky, but that can always be done later when you're somewhere safer :)
Perfect thanks I'll definitely try this. Pinning your comment for others.
Use the guts and a knife to make a rope. Then use the bones to make a knife and a fishing hook. Use the knife to dig up a worm. Combine the worm with the hook to make bait, Then cut a long stick and combine it with the rope to make a fishing pole. Combine the bait and the fishing pole and than find yourself a body of water. Fish filets are some of the best most filling foods in the game. Use your best knife when cutting up fish and animals to get the most out of the food you harvest. Duller knives = less of the food remaining once you have cut up your harvest.
Didn't know that about dull knife and food loss. Thanks.
Holding right mouse click and backing up blocks zombie melee attacks. So Strike the zombie once or twice and them back up while blocking to refill your stamina. After the zombie does it's two hand heavy attack start your attacks again. repeat until it's dead. This will prevent your clothes getting ruined, you getting cuts, and taking health damage.
I was just going to post this, good advice for sure.
Is there a way to block while moving backwards slowly, i seen it somebody do this but i don't remember how. Pls help
@@KronosOnTheBeat Hold Ctrl while backing up to slow down.
Mooooo! "I'm 99% sure that's a dear" haha
City boy.
Great Video, especially server choosing. Other pro tips: two rocks combine to make a stone knife. stone knife can prepare a chicken. use knife to gather dark bark. dark bark and short stick combine to make a firestarting handdrill. dark bark and sticks combine to make fireplace. both will be in same menu. You will probably need another stone knife by now so make more than one when you can. Gather long stick and sharpen with stone knife. Prepare chicken with stone knife. prepare makeshift handwrappings with stone knife so you do not get sick from blood from chicken or Z's when you eat. Combine stone knife and clothing to craft rags for that purpose. handdrill combined with fireplace to make fire. Put chicken or what ever you kill on the sharp stick and cook over fire. You will learn so much more to survive , when you at least stop dying of starvation, in this game. Do NOT eat the dead People or Z's.
After watching your guide, I think the possibility of buying on Steam and playing it is more probable than before. I like how you broke it down from the very beginning vs all these ongoing story lines many other content creators have (which is of course good for established players). I am just looking to get my foot in the door. This was perfect for helping me do so!
Agreed. Great commentary, with great detail in regard to both beginner tips and gameplay experience. Thank you for this, Grey Beard.
This video helped so much, I never made it further than 30 minutes in. Would either die of starvation or get killed by zombies. Played all day and haven’t died yet 😂
I bought this game Friday night, and so far, the zombies are the hardest part. I've ran into a few assholes, but them zombies, fuuuuck.
Bought this game then refunded it, you've spurned my interest again, I'll rebuy, it looked overwhelming to me, I now feel encouraged thanks 👍
Great starter guide. There's so much information you've got to learn and he's done an excellent job at trying to convey it quickly. My personal tip: Prepare to die A LOT at the start and don't be too tied to gear ("gear fear").
Thanks so much for your compliment!!! It's hard (impossible) to fit everything in quickly. Good tip!
Think of it like "borrowing" gear. You will eventually get one tapped and not hear a thing. Better to not get too attached.
@@reasonwarrior One tap and hearing nothing could be a suppressed sniper from outside hearing range that got a head shot. Or it could be the sign of a possible hacker killing you with his Glock from 600 yards.
Double click items to transfer them to your inventory. Great video!
Pro tip: when drinking you get better hydration levels when you drink from a container vs your hand. So when at a well if you have a bottle, pot, or cantine fill it then immediately drink from it till full then fill again before leaving.
If you see a tent set up in the street ALWAYS check the inventory. When I find a barrel or a storage container I always put it in a visible area close to where I’m looting and anything I don’t keep I will put in the storage so new items can spawn in and the items I do t need have a place to go so others can take them.
Nice... When u build a camp fire u have to wait for the ash pile to appear around the bottom... Basically let it heat up for 30 seconds or so
The .22 LR Mk II pistol has a built-in suppressor so it is very quiet. It's like it is built for killing zombies. It will kill players with several shots but it does not do well against armor.
You can use ANY water source to wash your hands, water pump, water bottle, ocean, river, lake, scummy pond, ANY water source.
You may get cuts on your hands when vaulting fences, so gloves are nice to have. You can craft gloves from rags, also shoes and face masks. The crafted gloves and shoes have relatively short durability but handy in a pinch. IDK durability of face mask. Crafted shoes are very, very quiet. Good when sneaking.
Animal or human guts can be used to craft rope which can then be used to craft fishing line. Fishhooks (low durability) can also be crafted from bone. A long stick can be a fishing rod. Dig up a few worms, combine a hook and a worm then combine that to the line on a fishing rod and you can now catch fish from any open water, creek, river, pond, lake, ocean. Ocean fish are mackerel, fresh water fish are carp. Each fish will give you 2 fish steaks. With a fishing rod you only need an open water source, and you will always have food available to you. When fishing you may "catch" some loot, some good, some bad. Sometimes a fish will get away with eating your worm. Dig up more. If the fishing is not going well in one spot, move a few feet/yards/meters left or right.
Good video. Sometimes when entering a building it is good to close the door behind you so your "six" is safe.
15:00 it’s important to mention why we empty the bottle, never drink anything unless it’s from the fountain or you can get cholera and your character will die
i loved how you heard the moo n called it a deer :P
Just got the game and was feeling a bit overwhelmed 😅 this video helped me out so much lol, was crouch walking everywhere and not making it far before I died. Now I feel more comfortable and been able to make it further than the first small town I find. Thank you 🙏
I sat on this game for a whole year. I finally decided to play. Man it’s the best game ever made. So much to do. With that said. I need partners. Let’s play together
@@greyjones1892I'm the same. It's in my steam library but only played 2 hours and gave up, just didn't know what to do
@@greyjones1892still looking for people to play with? Been thinking bout buying it just got a pc
@@greyjones1892 me too but way longer than a year, I noticed the "kill an infected" achievement was only 24% of players which really shows how common it is for people to buy then not play it or die a few times to starvation and zombies then give up.
Just started yesterday, thanks for the help
taught me quite a bit , thanks for the video will make my experience more enjoyabel
Love to hear it!! Get in there!
Things like matches, bottles of alcohol etc you can combine to consolidate into one slot. Might lose out on condition (the same way you do with ammo) but still useful.
Thank you sir it really helps new players like me
Just starting out on this. Most helpful. 👍
*moooo
Grey beard- I think it’s a deer😂
My best moment
and proceeds chasing the "deer" with an axe :D
no matter if it was a deer.. If he managed to kill deer with an axe im quiting my 6K hours Dayz game XD
1. Trust No One
2. Gear Fear
3. Adapt and Overcome
If have bloody hands you must wash them before drinking with your hands. If you have gloves it doesn't matter.
Amazing video! There's just one thing i would recommend - there's a really simple strategy how to beat a zombie without getting hurt and risking losing some of your health, be sure to check it out, much better than just trading hits :) also works well if youre under attack of 2-3 zombies. will be helpful im sure :) anyway thank you for helping me get back into the basics!
I'll try to describe to make you spent less time on that. You hold right click and backing off. They are coming at you and usually throws 2 normal and 1 heavy hit. Since youre backing, you avoid all those hits and you hit them with your heavy right after they miss their heavy. with a bit of training and proper timing you can kill more zombies at once :)
Drinking from a bottle will fill you up much faster, drink until you see the “digestion” icon show up.
good video thanks! Subbed!
Nice into for new players!
Gunna send it to my brother :)
Great tutorial!
double clicking makes it quicker to pick stuff up or transfer things :) Also Alarm Clocks are the worst because they look like a can of food :P
Double click items to move them to inventory faster if you have room
I once spawned with a flare next to a house with a chicken, knife and a can of pipsi....best start i have ever had
I’ve had the game in my library for about 2 years never played. Nobody wants to play. But this video has helped me understand the game to re install it. Hoping to play when my kid goes to nap lol
Many players team up. Teaming with strangers can be dangerous to your health. Some players will team with a random player, search a town for loot as a team, maybe sharing what one does not want/need, then kill their partner to get his loot. Two finders, one keeper. Lowest of the low in my book.
For the faster looting when switching coat or pants it's F as long as you have capacy to take it all just keep hitting F
Awesome guide!! Super small thing I thought I'd add. Your plosives are a little pronounced in your mic, I'm not sure what your recording set up is but if you grab a pop filter and/or have your mic off to the side of your mouth, say 45 deg. ish then it will help avoid some of the "p" plosives. Just food for thought, mic sounds great otherwise.
Very helpful video even tho I play on a console but again very useful information. I’m a beginner so this helped me out a ton
Awesome I'm glad to hear it! I should have made it clear this was on PC.
@@GreyBeardGamingYT I saw that it was PC but still decided to watch cause it was still very much helpful indeed. Looking forward to watching more of your videos
you can use sharpening stones to sharpen your sharp edges
"a deer"! 😂😂 it was the mooiest cow ive ever heard.
I can't explain it I really can't.
Use the guts x3 to craft a rope, 5hen add sticks to craft burlap sack
Double click left mouse in your inventory to fast move items ;)
If you do find a bottle and are at a fountain use the bottle to drink from rather than the fountain as it is much faster and always drink till you see the belly full icon as will keep you hydrated for much longer.
Yeaaaaaaah I am on team double click now.
@@user-hs1ih8yv6v When you find a water bottle or canteen dump any water they may have then fill with clean water.
You just filled your water bottle and started drinking with your hands again. Why not drink from you filled water bottle then refill it ? I think it is faster that way. Am I wrong ?
Very informative i am beginner and i hope to play with you one day if you play with your subscribers.
been watching videos for a while and decided to give it a go... tough game! can never find the damn water pump and end up dying. just got the game so I guess there is a learning curve
Big learning curve!! Good luck 🤞
There is an online map of Chanarus called Isurvive. Put it on another monitor or a phone. Water pumps are marked along with a ton of other places.
Yo, game is today installed. I just start. So, thanks for help m8.
Great video, thank you!! It's so hard to me to find food, I've survived 37 minutes with only an apple and some kind of cookies...
Fruit and veggies are low value food but good in a pinch. If you cook the fruit/veggie it will be a better value food. If you see an orchard, jog near each tree, then give it about 10 minutes and check each tree for spawned fruit. You can use that wait period to search for more food in houses and such. This can be repeated since you just passed each tree again and you may find some mushrooms where you have already been. I toss any rotten fruit I find out of the orchard.
Any input on playing this on ps4/ps5? I am super Interested now and looks like a awesome game has everything I like all in 1 game
Double click items to fast move them into inv
I had quite an interesting experience my first time playing DayZ. I ended up getting into fights with players in a factory and killed them all with a stick… later on I ambushed a dude with said stick and killed him in a greenhouse which he was full of loot. As I was looting someone came up behind me and we started punching each other and both fell unconscious at the same time… I woke up before him and grabbed his knife and stabbed his neck while he laid there. Later died from being cornered in a house by a group of zombies… loving this game so far, so unforgiving.
Sounds like a movie honestly. That kind of emergent gameplay is what DayZ is all about.
So a guy who had a knife came up behind you and started punching you instead of stabbing you? Seems kind of sus
thnk you i didnt know how to use items before and i needed your video to understand annything of this game lol no toturioal from them self so really whattafuck on that cause there a lot of keybindings
You can combine the two box of matches.
Awesome tip! Thanks
cow mooing ... thats actually a deer 99% sure :DDDDD
Hahaha yeah... My finest moment
double click on an item to fast move it
The food and water last a long time you were not even hungry or need water chasing the bull,how long does hydration or being fed last
The more active you are the faster it goes. I never travel in a sprint. Sprinting uses stamina which I may need. I sprint only in an effort to save my life. Epi pens are good for this too. Epi pens allow you to sprint for 1 minute with not stamina use. IDK what Epi pens are supposed to be used for, but most user players use them in an emergency sprint.
@@edmartin875 wow i csnt believe i did even realize that
Is this game play same on PS5? and was there a update make it worth buying today?
I know nothing of PS5 (I do Xbox) and am not up on updates, but the game is basically the same on PC and Consoles.
Is there a way to save your progress?
Why do not block the zombies punching
part 2 ?
What is with the barred up doors?
No access. Period. Controls the route of the "maze". House looks big from outside but inside is only 2 rooms and maybe a hall.
why are you letting zombies hit you ? if you walk backwards you can defend every attack without risking being touched
BOY WHAT KINDA DEER YOU GOT WHERE YOURE FROM LMFAOOOO
City deer ?
lol I can barley keep myself feed much less the rest
Chickens are easy to kill. Other livestock can be killed but is harder. Wild game can also be killed and eaten, even wolves. If you find or make a fishing pole, line, and hook, you can catch fish (food) when near open water. Essentially, fishing gear can keep you fed until that death dealing bullet finds you.
Cant you search cupboards and stuff?
Strangely no there are a few things you can open but most loot is just laying around.
Does loot respawn?
I believe so yes.
Sometimes but it usually takes several hours real time.
Just brought tbis game im on a ps5 and the lagging is unbearable.
Oof yeah I dunno how it is on console I've only played on PC
Why put badly damaged shoes on to replace your pristine ones….😮
great video man but perhaps you could edit out the contant clearing of your throat instead :)
Lol sorry I've been sick for weeks.
Gray Beard, you have such a calm and educating voice. How can you make an intense game like DayZ sound so educational? Please stick to Payroll and Employee Benefits seminars.
Yeah wasn't trying to be super excited just trying to teach the basics of the game. Hope it wasn't too bad. Cheers
@@GreyBeardGamingYT Nah im jk, I watched the entire video and enjoyed it. Despite being a ~10 year DayZ vet.
@@GTR24 awesome!! It's definitely for beginners but if you enjoyed me thinking a cow was a deer I'm glad
This was a horrible start
This game looks so ungodly boring imo
It's better with a friend and on high population. But on a high pop it can be very frustrating as well.
Acquired taste for sure. It took me a bit of hours to understand the appeal to dayz
Sounds like you have already decided not to play. I promise the players will not miss you.
Classic ten hour dayz player thinking hes a professional
Played for about 4 hours after days of trying to learn the game, logged out, logged back in 5 hours later to "you are dead" so it's safe to say this game is dogshit
Totally fair haha I didn't like it either for ages. I think it's in a better place now but still lots to be desired.
@GreyBeardGamingYT gave it a second try, enjoyed the 8 hours I was alive made great progress, signed on the next day with half my inventory gone and spawned back on the coast after hours of making my way to the mainland, died because I had all my food taken by the game. Games complete horseshit no clue how people gaslight themselves into liking it
That sucks. I have played a good bit on XBox servers and PC servers and have never had that happen. Sorry to hear it. The learning curve for Dayz is steep but well worth it once you really start to understand the basics and learn the best places to find the loot you need to survive.@@gamerknowledge539
bro why you keep getting mad everytime you die.. it's pvp.. go play Rust on PVE if you want to log back in real time and not be dead @@gamerknowledge539
@gamerknowledge539 I'm guessing you didn't choose the same server your character was in for that 8 hours...you have to log back in to the same server if you want to keep your progress in that server. Basically you started a new character when you change servers.
Just a note to anyone watching this video, this guy is a novice who should really learn the game before trying to teach..😅
He is sharing what he has learned, while you just badmouth him. I noticed he was new too. But I just corrected or expanded on what he said and added a few tips of my own in the comments. Pleas pardon me for thinking ill of you.
@@edmartin875 actually I didn’t bad mouth him, I made a comment by my own judgment on playing dayz….freedom of speech my good fellow..
Just thinking maybe if you are new to the game you shouldn't be making tutorials for it? This was terrible and anyone with 50 or more hrs in the game will know it. So many bad things.
I was having fun with it and it seems beginners have found the video useful and wanted to go check out the game which is pretty great.
Imagine thinking anyone cares about this comment.
Just thinking maybe you badmouthing him is not helping anyone, at least he is trying to help total noobs. IMO he wins, you lose.
@@christiaanivaliente7652 I care. He is trying to help. What are you doing ?
Once you mistaken a bull/cow sound for a deer, then i stopped watching...
Your privilege. No one will even try to stop you, since you are so perfect you have never made a mistake. So, tell us your secret, how do manage to never die in this game ?
@edmartin875 you should probably get out more or go back to grade school if you haven't learned basic animal sounds.
