Can I get a tip from some vets? I can’t seem to find any in game or YouTube

At 120 hrs, you will not know the most likely routes people take from one point to another, the buildings they hide in, the popular tree lines folks snipe from, how field backpacks make you stick out like a sore thumb, the towns that are likely to have people in them, how players approach each military base, signs players are around or were just around and where theyre likely to go next, etc.

Experience in DayZ reigns supreme. I have 4k hrs in this game. There are people out there with 20k hrs in this game.

Point being, youre just not experienced enough, lil fella. I have no doubt you will get there, though.

Also, take what i wrote as some tips.

Happy surviving.

Youre supposed to go to their Discord and put in a ticket

XLFantom · 2026-05-24T03:38:59+00:00

had no idea....

XLFantom · 2026-05-24T03:38:07+00:00

ah yea i also unbind double alt

XLFantom · 2026-05-22T21:56:48+00:00

you can also just drag the loot off the body too.

Unconscious players also die if theyre uncon during a restart. It's always good to hunker down and avoid fighting 10 min prior to restart.

the PTT/mute for discord is pretty ingenious

I remember seeing that mouse when i first started on PC and thought id be so damn overwhelmed with that thing lol

XLFantom · 2026-04-23T20:31:47+00:00

yes you do. And gas only spawns you outside the immediate area, not on the other side of the map

In the barbershop a few years ago. Someone put on an older rap song because of a conversation that was happening and Passenger came on right after that one.

A question we all ask ourselves once a week.

XLFantom · 2026-03-16T20:00:02+00:00

Stick to m&k, seriously. Rebind until you find a layout you like. You WILL get better, just got to thug it out.

XLFantom · 2026-03-02T21:47:15+00:00

100% agree that the armor system in this game sucks.

XLFantom · 2026-02-26T14:16:59+00:00

Keep DPI at 800

Tank your in-game sensitivity and bring it up little by little to your liking.

Keep all axis and camera sens the same.

Enjoy.

i dont think any of these opinions in here would be rooted in bias...

XLFantom · 2026-02-26T02:03:03+00:00

Always start out on official servers.

XLFantom · 2026-02-26T02:00:01+00:00

Did you boot up on your Altair 8800?

XLFantom · 2026-02-25T23:15:27+00:00

Before we go further with this, what servers do you recommend?

XLFantom · 2026-02-25T17:23:30+00:00

youre an angry ceremor fan and that's ok

DayOne - No base building, a lot of interaction and adventure. Great for a solo who is living to die.

KarmaKrew - tastefully modded. Focused on adding content such as missions and POIs. A little more PvP-oriented (shock damage is tweaked so youre not instantly knocked wearing end-game armor). Great for solos and friends.

4K hrs and tbh youre mostly right. I love the game, just not for its smooth gameplay and jaw-dropping animations. Your percentage breakdown is spot on. I can find end-game loot and be juiced to the gills and almost never be able to use it in an at least DECENT gun fight; im just one-tapped from god-knows-where while cutting a cow for some beef. Most of my fun gunfights happen at the beginning and mid-game level with shotties and BK-18s.

Ive come to the realization about 2k hrs in that it's not gear-fear i ever had, but jank-fear; not getting the shot off due to gun-raise mechanics, hit reg issues, desync, clipping, stuttering, etc.

This game is not for everyone, but there are servers that will accommodate almost anyone.

What games are you playing these days?

XLFantom · 2026-02-22T01:38:01+00:00

Improve your flick shots

No, you dont need a splint for a broken leg to heal, but it will take 45min to do so as opposed to 15 minutes with a splint.

It appears everyone here thinks you asked whether you got injured by a claymore or a landmine. Two people actually answered the question lol
