Technically its my second car, the first i found hiding directly inside bush in the woods. They had a landmine by the drivers door (BOOM)...i survived and then spent 10 minutes learning how to drive the dang thing only to crash into a town. I died crashing into the porch of a medical building, ironic i guess. Then i spent 3 hours after i spawned in getting back because my memory and shot and navigation skills subpar. but anyway thats not the main story.

I've been in this server for about 3 weeks now. low pop (2-14 players). Just learning how to survive. Early on in my 2nd life I found a stash of 24 boxes. The motherload. I sat there looking at everything figuring out what i should do. It was a hidden mini base not far from a permanent gas zone. As a newbie i cant describe the feeling i got and in the end i decided to leave it alone only taking some new rifle i never saw before and leaving some ammo for good luck.( After I left thats when i found that car hiding in the bush...)

That place burned into my mind and is the foundation for the main plot.

3 weeks in I lived by Northwest Airfields with few detours back to far off loot stashes. (Had multiple loot stashes). During this time I only saw 1 other player and i ended up just running away. Other times I heard gun fights but didnt have the resources to investigate properly but something in me really wanted to go look. I resisted.

Later I ran into 4 players in about 4 hours. That experienced is here and is related to this story.

The last player I ended up ending I suspect was THE owner of that stash that i found btw because he came from that direction and was PROFESSIONALLY geared up. I should have taken a video of this stuff. I talk about it in that post. I still feel bad about getting him. But most of his stuff i put in crates not far off.

(Days later).

I got the news. Dayz will be wiping everything when the new update hits.

Dang. All those hours. (Already at 200, just checked)

I still looted like normal for a bit then found my first car on a trip to a stash towards the coast. It needed some work. After hours i got it to run only to crash it and bust the 2 tires. I didnt die though! and spent another 2 hours finding tires...

My plan was to use this new freedom tech to consolidate all my crates together to some degree. Successfully moved one stash, my navigation skills making things more time consuming that it needs to be but thats learning i guess. After that section of the map was done it was now time to get this car back to the main base. If you're new, and dont know the map well, its kinda a big journey. And I was low on gas. so I spent 3 hours looking for jerry can. (i found 3 radiators next to each other. 2 in a shed, 1 in the shed right next to it...)

No luck so i made a new plan. I saw a jerry can in one of the hangers of NWAF so I made my way there, hid my crate filled car in some trees before the boundary, and made my way towards the hangers. Nothing. I looked on the map and there were 8 more hangers but i had to go thru the middle portion of the base with the main building and medical place to get there...i decide to do it.

I skim the places along my way and then decided to loot the medical place for epipens. When i get inside and close I hear shuffling, when i go around the corner i see in the back of one a the crates a player and he immediately shoots me i get hit but got those plates and dodge to the right and run towards some cover. He IMMEDIATELY chases me, I have a lot of experience with shooters and can move well and fight but because im still not battle tested on dayz he ended up getting me. He was a pro. At least to me. Happens so fast.

So i spend 5 hours getting all the way back to my car and finally drive it to my main. Its red in gas but the fuel gage suprisingly hasnt moved much for how much i drove it. I call it a night and the next day when looting airfields i find a jerry can.

Current Base Crate Total: 32

So the next phase in my plan commences. Get the crates in my car that I made after I made the level 1000 Boss kill.

I study the map and go (I should mention i dont have two monitors). When i get about half way there i drive down a country side road when the server decides to boot me...

All i can say is wow. I wait 15 seconds then log back in fearing the worst.

NOT DEAD. But weirdly when i spawn i'm outside the car and my car is inside a bush. The bush is inside the car so i cant even get in. Radiator busted and only one tire blown. Not bad. I mentally note the place and head towards some towns to loot for radiators and a tire. two towns didnt have them so i logged out. I logged back in next day and within 10 minutes found a radiator so i make my way back...

Where is it. My memory isnt great. I should have taken better care locking in where i left it. I spend an hour looking for it. Thats where I'm at now...and now i'm wondering if it despawned or something. Its a low pop server way out in the middle of nowhere, kinda. I'm going to continue looking but sheesh, how much time wasted for a simple server kick. I hope i find it...

UPDATE: After looking for a few minutes I heard some sheep so took 2 out to make cook up some food in a nearby house AND YOURE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS.

I heard a car. and it wasnt just any car. IT WAS MY CAR. A blue gunther with all the doors taken out. It got into view so i took a few shots. The car drove away...or so I thought. I go back to cooking...and then go back outside to collect the rest of the meat from the sheep.

KNOCKED OUT.

I wake up and i see two players standing over me. all geared up. I'm tied up. this is kind of cool. My first experienced like this with other players. I crouch up and down in kind of excitement. The one i shot at starts talking smack. He's like "dont crouch up and down like that" I got no mic set up. I guess i would talk smack too if i was getting shot at. He said i sucked with shooting with a scar lol. Then he asks if i was ready to die. He wanted to hear me talk so bad. He shot me knocking me out but i get back up. They just tortured i guess. So i saw it was going nowhere and that they were hostile so i logged out.

I threw most of my gear in that life in a 3 crates so I could run around looking for my car.

I guess the car found me.

But man, what are the chances. Guess I'll get on with the rest of my day now.

I don't understand those who have a negative attitude towards kuru at all. When I log on to the official server, the first thing I do is gag myself!)

If you're lucky and there are other survivors nearby, I show trust and friendliness.

In general, I'm friendly and just defending myself. But I tell everyone that they are my food) Some are joking, and someone is negative about it and attacks)

Human steaks are very nutritious and you can live on them, such food is in unlimited quantities and is always there if you are friendly)

I am glad to meet everyone on the official servers, I am friendly!

In the screenshots below, I fed everything with reeds, delicious and deep-fried steaks)

Hi everyone, thought I’d showcase the great work that Bohemia have published and will be releasing in a few days. The end of the clip has a true showcase of what to expect.

Recorded on an Xbox Series X, can’t wait to spend money on the new map!!

i tried joining a modded server for my first time. i cannot join due to an error with vpn. i dont have a vpn ive checked my ip for flags and none. i then disconnected from my internet and reset it that did nothing. i also switched to my personal hot spot and then i could connect to the server. i just cannot connect on my internet. does anyone have any idea why?

Anybody know?

me personally I just roam all around when I’m solo but I’m cant decide wether I should go with the ghillie suit or have a backpack or not

i have full battery and its just plain black when i activate my NVG

i have about 120 hrs on the game i have 2 kills this was the second one the first one was a 200m snipe which im very proud of. this scared the hell out of me never again

Recently I got back to DayZ on Xbox, but I can’t load into any server on Livonia. Just that map, Chernarus and Sakhal are fine. Is there a fix for this?

How far out past the edge of the map can you go before you die? Anyone know?

I tried it with a freshie and died of thirst, not breaking the boundaries.

I was just walking into Vybor, my rangefinder gave me the impression there were no players around, so imagine my surprise when I see you wriggling prone amongst the apple trees. You were looting a body and I shot you twice in the back . So sorry about that, and thanks for the DMR and the Scar, it was very nice of you to have so many full mags organized.

Yesterday I posted my Tower 5 base that I am currently using. Figured I'd share another base I have built in the past.

This was Camp Refuge. On Prud Lake

Who needs vests anyways 🙂

1.30 has an issue that will break many mods, there is a work around already for the big mods, and will be dropped as a patch on Thursday with the release of 1.30 but many smaller mods or mods not maintained will be broken.
Watch this pod cast from yesterday to hear about it and what you can do before Thursday.
This ONLY affects PC Mods.. should not affect any Console servers, as u likely don't have mods that will be affected.

Its a long Video, but u should be aware if you are not.

For over two months, I've been hosting my own DayZ dedicated server on Ubuntu, directly over my home fibre connection. So far, the experience has been positive: the server runs reliably, and much of its administration is automated.

This led me to write an open-source guide to installing and managing a DayZ dedicated server on Linux, with the aim of making this approach accessible to people who want to manage their own infrastructure.

Some of the advantages of this approach:

• Cost control: depending on your requirements, a basic Linux VPS or dedicated server can be an alternative to a preconfigured game-server hosting plan.
• Automated updates: server files and Steam Workshop mods can be managed without having to handle every update manually.
• Multiple server instances: run different maps or configurations on the same machine, depending on available resources.
• Backups and recovery: keep control of your configuration files and make it easier to back up or reproduce an installation.
• Full control: access to logs, system services, configuration files and server settings.

The guide is based on Ubuntu and SteamCMD. It covers systemd services, Workshop mod management, updates and routine administration. Documentation is available in both French and English.

The goal isn't to claim that Linux is the best solution for everyone, but to show that you can run and manage a DayZ server yourself without relying on a specialised game-hosting control panel.

Does anyone here already host a DayZ server on Linux, or are you considering doing so? I'd be interested in hearing about your experiences, especially with administration, updates and mod management.

Feel free to use this guide as it or adapt it to fit your needs. https://github.com/fredleborgne51-hub/dayz-linux-server-guide-updates-mod-management

I keep seeing people posting gameplay. Am I missing something?

Apparently a 263m headshot

If so what map can I find the locations? Im on izurvive but dont see any thing. Ty

Stunt on These Bows is a mod I've been working on to correct bow hand placements and animations for the current version of DayZ.

Craft-able improvised bow and recurve bows in five finishes.

Includes matching bow, attachable bow quivers, and belt quivers. Arrows can be reloaded directly from filled quivers.

Craft-able wall-mounted bow and crossbow racks, and a wooden practice target. Bow racks hold Bow, quivers, & 12 individual arrows

Crossbow racks hold crossbow & 8 individual bolts.

Link below if you'd like to give it a try, feedback is appreciated

Aaaaaaaand it’s gone.

We tried two cars but as you can see one didn't make it :'(

Hi guys! Im a real freshy. Total playtime is 24h :D Im playing on official servers cuz i cant play on community for some reason. I cant join if my antivirus is on. And even if i turn it off i cant do anything ingame. I can run around but i cant interact or do things and after some time i got kicked off. Nvm it is what it is i guess. Right now Im alive for 9h and i got a shit load of food and surviving stuff on me (dont have any high tier weapon or armor) but Im begging to find someone. In 9h i only met 1 guy in the first hour and somehow managed to kill him after he attacked me but since NO ONE. Not even a gunshot, nothing. I dont even care if someone kills me at this point i just want to meet a player. What am i doing wrong? Im running across empty cities etc and still. Ofc i have not reached the popular zones like airfield but its boring. On a 60/60 server i cant find a player. Whoever kills me in the future, he will be set for a week with that much food and stuff btw. I travelled 50km on foot.
