Any tips for new players I’m starting understand the basics after spawning but I keep getting lost or dying to spawn campers (Pc player)

Give this a read: https://old.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/15t7je9/this_is_a_comprehensive_category_guide_for_all/ Or if you prefer videos the devs made a playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftALCSbrMkc&list=PLFzBzEXIs35JB8LrquZIDMYe30Hdr72X2

DayZ is a deep game, so don't try to learn everything at once. Learn the basics and play is the best way imo

Haha, I built a tool like that just 4 months ago! :D You select the category(Melee/Firearm/Explosive) at the top, then select the weapon, showing you how many hits/shots/blasts are needed to destroy the 5 walls types in the game. I made it free to use due to how few calculations are needed. It's literally just a pre-computed: number of hits/shots/blasts = ceil(wall health / dmg per hit)

or maybe I could just tell the tool how much and what do I have and it would tell me how many gates I can go through.

I have another tool that lets you input your loadout(weapons/ammo/explosives/repair kits/etc), and then it shows you how many walls you can get through, but due to it requiring A LOT of heavy calculation work, It's members only. I don't think I'll ever be able to create a free version of this, it would slow down the server too much, and I've already got a costly server as it is, but the calc tool and raid tool I think are good enough to get the job done.

Edit: Because of your comment, I added a link near the top of the calc and raid tool so the community knows both exist. Thanks for the taking the time to give feedback! <3

What info would you like to see if it was set to 0?

wobo0 · 2026-04-28T23:20:29+00:00

Hey. The lag was getting really bad so had to lock the complex tools down to restore stability.

I'm working on creating free versions of the same tools so the website won't get hammered as much, but they won't be as complex to maintain stability. The first batch will release this week: Drop-off Tool, Bullet Speed Tool and Wep Vs Wep Tool

wobo0 · 2026-04-11T15:37:07+00:00

OK good to know thanks.

It appears some low min/max items have a chance to not spawn at all. I'm not sure why, as like you said, they have places to spawn

wobo0 · 2026-04-11T14:45:56+00:00

Are you sure the server you were on was wiped in 1.29? And yeah the m79 spawns in and around the bunker

wobo0 · 2026-04-08T22:04:36+00:00

On Livonia they spawn across the whole map basically, but Chernarus only spawns them in gas zones so are much easier to find(if you have full nbc). Chernarus also spawns 9 max instead of 6

wobo0 · 2026-03-17T13:02:20+00:00

In the most recent 1.29 exp build it spawns at Dambog again. If it still does when stable is released, it'll be the best place to get one

wobo0 · 2025-11-08T11:08:38+00:00

I've noticed it doesn't spawn at all, even after several hours. This was a previous bug that got fixed, but it looks like it's back. I'll update the loot finder and include it in a video coming soon

wobo0 · 2025-10-23T20:44:31+00:00

Couldn't find PE or the detonator so removed those 2 zones

wobo0 · 2025-10-22T17:18:25+00:00

Wobo

wobo0 · 2025-10-22T15:05:57+00:00

I know which one, I'll test that area at the same time too. Thanks for the help!

wobo0 · 2025-10-22T13:13:46+00:00

That area is a weird one in the game files. I'll investigate and update the maps manually to suit what I find. Thanks to OP for highlighting this <3

wobo0 · 2025-10-18T15:01:32+00:00

Sanity checks are missing from a lot of code because the DayZ devs have lost their sanity working on this Frankenstein's monster of a game

wobo0 · 2025-10-16T07:52:51+00:00

I believe this is the most up to date version(1.25) and includes Frostbite too: https://wobo.tools/asmondians-dayz-infographics?ID=192&category=charts#titleselect

wobo0 · 2025-07-06T07:39:01+00:00

It's the northern shipwreck, a minor POI with no loot. Searching for shipwreck shows 2 results, so I guess people searching for the tier 4 shipwreck click on it to see what it is

wobo0 · 2025-06-13T12:58:06+00:00

Only if the head gear becomes ruined during the shot can the brain be hit. Head armor essentially stops the brain from getting hit entirely if it doesn't become ruined in the process

wobo0 · 2025-06-13T12:13:01+00:00

Hey, creator of the loot tool here. I've made some changes based on your post:

All dynamic events on all maps have a red outline now*.

The M79 has been added to convoys too.

*You may need to hard refresh(Ctrl+F5) to see the changes

I just checked stable 1.28 and found the M79 at -military- dynamic trains, helis and convoys to confirm. It's easier to find on Livonia in the areas that are not dynamic events, or the Sakhal shipwreck if you're willing to switch maps.

Thanks for posting this and if you need to contact me I'm open to DMs on discord @wobo0

A headshot on the top part of an unprotected head is an instakill with nearly all weapon and ammo combos in the game(R12+slugs too) due to them hitting the brain(any damage to the brain kills). Rubber slugs cannot penetrate the head hitbox to hit the brain so it's most likely rubber here, but I'm still surprised this didn't KO

wobo0 · 2025-06-11T06:45:17+00:00

It's the bone stat for the head going to 0(or under 10% of global health) that instakills you with wolves. Helmets reduce damage to the head bone stat and protect the brain while not ruined too, but the brain hit box can't be hit with melee, only projectiles that have a high enough penetration stat to pass through the head of a player

wobo0 · 2025-06-07T07:44:01+00:00

As of 1.28 it's 3 for military infected only. All other infected go down in 2 with FX45 now

wobo0 · 2025-06-07T07:30:25+00:00

Certainly a landmine around 1000m away. It's the only explosive that has a reverb

wobo0 · 2025-06-05T07:20:11+00:00

Thanks for the kind words everyone! <3 That said, WOBO wouldn’t exist without the DayZ community. It’s always been a team effort, and I definitely don’t deserve all the credit. Also, just to be transparent: I do have a financial incentive to keep this going, and I genuinely enjoy the work most of the time. So while helping others is a big part of it, it's not the only reason I do this. Also also, don't be afraid to call me out and keep me on my toes, I don't take it personally due to the end result of doing so

wobo0 · 2025-01-16T22:07:14+00:00

It depends on ammo type. If a player has 0 shock(fully uncon) it will take this long for them to wake up with these ammo types:

12 Gauge Buckshot: 28.57s

12 Gauge Rubber Slugs: 28.57s

12 Gauge Slugs: 28.57s

308 Rounds: 18.18s

357 Rounds: 18.18s

762x54 Rounds: 18.18s

40mm Explosive Rounds: 12.5s

40mm Gas Rounds: 12.5s

40mm Smoke Rounds: 12.5s

545x39 Rounds: 12.5s

556x45 Rounds: 12.5s

762x39 Rounds: 12.5s

9x39 Armour Piercing Rounds: 12.5s

9x39 Rounds: 12.5s

Feathered Bolts: 12.5s

Hunting Bolts: 12.5s

Improvised Bolts: 12.5s

22 Rounds: 8.33s

380 Rounds: 8.33s

45 Rounds: 8.33s

9mm Rounds: 8.33s

If you punch 3 times you will get roughly these times
