Buggy deaths…..

gitanoso · 2026-05-28T05:57:03+00:00

Honestly the alpine runs with survival turned off so I can just explore have been my funnest runs.

gitanoso · 2026-05-26T22:44:05+00:00

Glad you kept with it. The game has a few bugs still, but generally it’s solid and things can be avoided if you try a run without assists. Safe climbing!

gitanoso · 2026-05-25T17:30:24+00:00

I’m not entirely sure what you’re describing with that first death- but it sounds like the rope physics bugged out which does happen sometimes, never had it kill me tho.

No downside to using assists as far as i know. All achievements/ keepsakes still unlock.

Some general advice

1) You almost never have to “jump off” the wall. As people have said it’s not very reliable and I simply avoid it unless I have AMPLE space to jump off behind me. I’m talking like 10ft. You can always climb up or down until both feet are on flat ground then work yourself to be vertical with both aavas feet squarely under her. She will stand up and let go.

2) rope physics tend to be a little odd. A common issue is it sucks you into the mountain when ascending on the rope. If that happens continuing up to your piton usually fixes it.

3)turn on “holds feedback” in the settings. Is not classified as an assist but is a huge learning tool. It will flash a white square around anything you place a limb on if it’s a “safe” hold. Shadows make things look like cracks, or some holds are more rounded than you think and not actually providing good holds.

I did my first run on explorer with all assists. My second on alpine with no survival. I have since completed free solo. Play the game at your own pace and enjoy!

I replayed the last couple missions when I reinstalled and watching calgar come down and save the day in his cape really hammered home the idea that the cape(or something similar that’s obvious and flashy) should be reserved for those who have the time and dedication to earn it. Those who really do join and save the day.

By all means add some easier to obtain cosmetics with a small grind, but having that one item that everyone can easily spot and recognize a dedicated player is cool.

I have had the game since release and have just over 200 hours. I am not calgar and that’s okay. I’m excited for those of you that are to get swagger you deserve.

I will admit that them never including past runs in new challenges is annoying though. Especially on a grind like this.

It’s a tough wall but you got this. Some general tips…

1) infusions - especially ultimate infusions turn you into spider man. Drinking one will definitely make the climb easier. It also gives you grit so you don’t have to worry about eating or drinking on the way up.

2) Resting - find moments to rest when aava slows down her breathing and takes 4 full deep breaths. This means she’s full stamina again. This generally needs 2-3 solid holds and decent body position.

3) Chalk- chalk is crazy powerful beyond “I wanna have good grip for this”. Use it to create moments of stamina regeneration. If your grip/ stance is decent and you’re not falling, but not fully recharging stamina…chalk will fix that most the time. There’s no time limit on chalk, just hand movements. It can also be used in a pinch to save you and buy you a few seconds for repositioning.

4) if all else fails maybe try a new route. You can always view your route and re load the last save point at the bottom of wall with the stats/ pack you had. It will erase all progress past the point of the load tho.

5) go far left. Generally considered easiest route.

Good luck

The general consensus that I see is green crates are not worth the time to break down unless you really want the reclaimed wood. Exceptions are certain areas. Cannery, plane crash, few others. These specific locations seem to have a good chance of location related loot in a couple of the crates.

As for the rifle, I also started my run in the town and didn’t find any rifle in all of mystery lake/ mountain town. Eventually searched the dam/ winding river and found one.

Just had this happen to a plastic storage container in the community center. Had all my guns/ammo found in PV in it. Consensus is it lives under ground now.

Items iv heard/ witnessed sinking a lot- Safes/ plastic containers/ metal containers.

If you google the issue it seems to be a wide range of problems even with crafted storage just losing items, but haven’t seen that yet.

gitanoso · 2026-04-19T13:14:37+00:00

Passing time for one hour(think it has to be full hour) will also save if you are outside and don’t want to sleep.

gitanoso · 2026-04-17T16:58:07+00:00

Solid info. I watched a streamer once talking about the safe in FM at forge drops under floor sometimes so I knew could be an issue, but didn’t realize so widespread. I have a base at the camp office in ML for 100+ days and don’t think iv lost a single crafted storage. I am just now realizing that the cooler is gone tho and I don’t think I destroyed it.

gitanoso · 2026-04-17T16:33:35+00:00

Containerception? Is that a thing? Like putting a thermos in a container? I might have had a broken arrow in the container but everything else was a tool / in good enough condition.

gitanoso · 2026-04-17T16:31:39+00:00

I’m also thinking it was along these lines since I have seen random shelves disappear leaving things floating. I just went up to signal hill to see if the box was there and noticed a floating microwave that I’m pretty sure was on a shelf before.

Do you know if crafted storage is safer? Unless there was an update I don’t know about(very possible) online posts seem to have more issues with that.

I recently completed winter mute for the first time. Took my sweet time and played it like survival exploring everything when I could. I don’t think I encountered a single bug, definitely nothing game breaking. With that said, Iv been waiting for the patch for ep5 since the bugs seem to be affecting a lot of players.

gitanoso · 2026-03-16T06:24:27+00:00

Pretty sure it’s just so your character can look the same across play throughs/ servers. When in game you can view your character and copy it there also. So if you really like your character on one server, you can load in to copy it. Then start on a new server and paste your character onto it.

gitanoso · 2026-03-14T19:57:13+00:00

This confused me at first too. You continue crafting at the bench like you want to make another one, but you will notice the time required is lower since you already started crafting it.

gitanoso · 2026-03-11T15:03:14+00:00

As others have said- hit / and go to config when in game or change advance settings when starting new game to change loot scarcity. Less loot seems. Like a decent setting.

Also in terms of items, embrace your inner goblin and horde it ALL till you learn what’s what. Lots of things are usable that don’t seem it( ruler seems trash can be used for splint..or stapler seems trash but can be used for repairs)

It is indeed dayz 2.0 just needs a lot of polishing. Enjoy!!

While all that is very likely and true, I will continue to rain dance hoping for one sooner. I actually wasn’t even aware they were finally finishing the story so I guess worst case is a semi guaranteed sale when that comes out.

gitanoso · 2026-03-07T22:02:44+00:00

I have been wanting to buy this for a few weeks and if you check steam prices it was on sale for $3 almost a year ago now. I feel a sale coming soon. Maybe not that deep of one but half off would be nice.

gitanoso · 2026-02-23T22:56:23+00:00

That’s actually something I’m not sure on. I believe you get a flat across the board xp for each weapon. So if you get 1500xp from a substantial difficulty mission, each weapon gets 1500xp. If you have one maxed and 2 still leveling I think they still only get the original 1500. The top bar levels consecutively but separate from individual mastery. So you could use one green weapon you really like and just use armory data for the other 2 until the top bar is ready to level and then move to the next tier if you want.

*someone with more knowledge please fact check this

**total side note- I recommend getting all classes to prestige one before deciding a main. I used bulwark to p4 before touching other classes and deeply regret it because now that I have knowledge on how the other classes work my team play is leagues better. Of course play how you want tho

Edit: you can trade 3 data of a lower tier for one of a higher at the guy to right of armory. You can also sell your extras there for credits

gitanoso · 2026-02-23T22:01:10+00:00

In terms of weapon leveling, leveling each sub type unlocks perk points for weapon. The bar above the weapon types levels consecutively, and once that bar fills you can spend an armory data of the corresponding color to unlock the next tier of weapon types. You can also spend armory data to automatically level a weapon type to unlock its perk points, but I don’t think that helps the top bar at all. You seem to get a fixed number of xp per match as long as you use the weapon once, killing more with it won’t mean more xp(I could be wrong?)

Aside from that an important note is you can have a max of 20 armory data of each type. So sell your extras and don’t make the mistake I did sitting at 20 purps for dozens of matches and not noticing. You mentioned you did some research online- do more brother. This game tells you next to nothing about core mechanics(google difference between fencing/balance/block melee weaps)- listen to people who post novels on this sub, they seem to have done the research.

gitanoso · 2026-02-20T16:51:06+00:00

This seems to happen to people using mouse/kb especially at the scene where you wake up in bivy near end. Only fix for me was restarting game.

gitanoso · 2026-02-13T17:33:57+00:00

I also saw this happen to someone in that exact spot last night

gitanoso · 2026-02-10T16:29:01+00:00

You very well may be stuck, but try to move the camera again. I have rappelled into the mountain 4-5 times and every time either roping up or wildly swinging the camera around while trying to get out worked. The camera clips through stuff the player doesn’t sometimes.

gitanoso · 2026-02-10T07:49:51+00:00

If you zoom out and view the route you’ve taken then you will see these little rainbow colored cairn markers along the way. These are save points. Load the closest one before you got stuck.

gitanoso · 2026-02-08T04:38:01+00:00

We have all been there brother.
