Test your skills on my hardcore DayZ server DayZCore - discord.com/invite/JcXRAWcAB6
i am 99% sure that if 2 player hit a zombie the zombie as more health. 2heavy + 1light to the head won't work when someone else hits the zombie. I think you should test that out, no one talks about it.
discord invite ain't working :/
At this point, these videos actually bring some nostalgia with them. Ive been watching Rav for so many years that I look forward to these tips and tricks videos now. Sometimes I learn a trick or two also
Thankyou man ❤️
@@RavPlays no. Thank YOU for the memories and the years of dedication! Much love Rav
Sometimes
@@strawhatmcgat1203 yeah, meaning not always but not never either. This time I learned 2 things from this video that I didn't know. #1 you can use the carnival face masks as kindling. #2 you can save a glow stick by getting in a car.
I really didn’t think I’d learn anything new as I’ve been watching dayz UA-cam videos for over 11 years and playing dayz on PlayStation since it’s day 1 release on console, however today I just learned that you can use the carnival mask as kindling! Who’d of thought? Who ever it was must of of that must of been desperate.
Keep up the good work rav
Thankyou man, I only recently learnt the carnival one too
Tip: you can log out standing up by using the throw item position. This makes it much quicker to cancel the log out and immediately fight without the sitting down animation.
just by pressing the bind? do you need to open the wheel? (i don't use wheel so idk if its even in it)
On Playstation it's square square with something in your hand (to assume the throw position), then you won't sit down while exiting.
@@AussieBushman oh amazing ty
Devs need to fix this
That's absolutely disgusting. I will be using it all the time now.
Damn I didn't know about the feathers from the down jackets, nice one!
My favorite pro tip that I don't see is that when in the woods and needing a fire, if you put only kindling and a short-term fuel type, (stick, rag, bark) the flame will go out which wont produce any visible smoke but will still allow you to use the coal to cook meat on a stick.
Yeah, for an incredibly short amount of time. Once the ashes drop from 100 degrees your meat will stop cooking. This isn't really a pro tip cus it'll only cook for another 14 seconds
@@iletyouwin561 Can you up me a tip then? Lets see if you can stump me.
This is more relevant and a recent change. It used to go cold quickly but since 1.26 the coals last much longer
@@iletyouwin561try again. Since 1.26 they stay hot longer
@@Chuklz70 again, still only about 15 seconds. Its been this way since at least 2018. I was just saying I would definitely not call this a "pro tip" unless you're starving and only have one or 2 pieces of meat. At that point, you're not much of a pro to begin with let's be honest. Food is way too abundant even in Sakhal to be starving that bad
I thought, no way there wouldn't be something I already know. But I didn't know you can use the carnival mask as kindling. Well played sir...
dayz vet here, at 4:44 i was confused af because i thought i knew every place in dayz but im pretty sure its pusto iirc. knew all of these but im still liking the vid
Garden plots. Digging up garden plots and putting seeds as you go. Especially if you are going to linger. Find some plots at the beginning of your loot run and start there so when you circle back you can check the status. This plot will tell you if you have another looter in the area if you come back to pulled veggies. You may even catch someone helping themselves to a snack.
I love your channel dude, your videos are entertaining and useful
2:30 Saw this tip couple of years ago. Have been checking since. Have not found a single thing.
16:50 best way of drying your clothes is to make a torch, drop it in the ground and then drop all your wet clothes. Depending, they will be dry in 20 seconds.
If you drag a generator into common spots like PD and Markets. Setting up a light and running the generator in the PD at night is a good way to lure people into a trap. The generator will often stay there for a long period of time because of how often it will keep being interacted with. Unless someone halls it off of coarse.
I use lanterns at night and drop them in front of people's front base gates to cast shadows as I camp doors. Road flares are great for this and then glow sticks are next in line. Throw them in people's bases as well so you can observe the shadows they will cast as well. A must have for Livonia bunker as well
Thanks for the tips Rav! I Just started playing dayZ again and these tips really helped!
The dashes on the ATOG scopes is a range finder. The length of the dash will tell you the shoulder width at distance. Center of chest. So you match the dash to the player your looking at to gage the distance on the fly. Remember this is dead Center of chest so you would have to adjust up for a head shot after you have gaged the distance
Woah I learned a heap of thangs this video 👀👀 legit game changing knowledge. The fish trap was INSANE
If your setting up shell bases and putting posts everywhere and you come back to them gone. Its more than likely someone doesn't want you there and they probably have a base or loot in the area. You should give this area a good once over. Checking big trees and pines around a township can be beneficial
I have tried the arm-band as a solo trick, still get KOS'd.
Something that has worked, I forget where I first heard the idea, but if someone is shooting or pushing up on you, yell "Wait Wait bro, its me its me" and it often buys you a few seconds to shoot or split while they process it 😂.
Arm bands as a solo works in a different way. It's very situational. And it might only work a small percentage of the time.
People who scout you first from a distance will sometimes hesitate to shoot and try to locate your team mate first.
Sometimes player {especially solo's} might even retreat without you even knowing they were there.
It's something you don't actively notice unless they occasionally talk to you thinking they might be outnumbered.
@benanders-g9sYou said that perfectly my friend 🤙🏼
Posts: Putting posts to block entrances to houses and sheds. This does so much. Just posts can give you a huge advantage as you play and die in a server. Posts help you know right off the bat if you have been in a town already. This can be important as a fresh spawn. You can store metal, planks , wire and barb wire for each set of posts. So this way when you find metal. Put up some posts and store it and move on. Eventually you will have metal everywhere you go. Then you can block of entire towns. I just keep doing this until I've blocked off big sections of towns all over map
I find it’s smart to wait to pour out water until you are actually at the well. Many times I’ve picked up a bottle dumped it and got side tracked by something and I end up finding chlorine tablets. You can always run back to a well but it’s time spent and this game take A LOT of time.
I have never lost a character to thirst.
I guess your advice is good, but its trivial at best.
@ I promise you people die from that stuff bro. Never me but people do.
@@Quxrk I'm aware that a character can be lost to thirst.
I'm saying that I haven't had that happen. I'm not exactly what you'd call a good video game player, but I have taken in and employed most of the survival tactics that this game has to offer.
I'd rather mess with all that and exploration than the idiotic gun fights.
My characters don't typically die from anything other than other asshole players.
@ that’s because the pve is easy as hell. Go play a pve server or something. There’s nothing to explore besides empty houses anyways. If you want cool locations go play pc on modded servers
@Quxrk Official suits me just fine......thanks.
I haven't got bored of the environment or exploration yet.
The other players being complete psycopaths, on the other hand, has long sense been played out.
I'm all for interactions with other players, but the odds of finding a civil player are so low that its not worth risking the interaction.
Dang! Great tips💪🏻 I just hit the 300 hour mark last night and the large majority of this stuff, I did not know. Thanks Dude!👊🏻👊🏻
I always learn something from your videos, that in itself deserves the like. Keep up the great work 👍
When i cant find i pot i go fishing and most of the time i get one. Fishing is personally my favorite way to get food . With the pot too you always got water available at a moments notice too really makes traveling easier.
I honestly didn't know that the carnival mask works as kindling. Thanks, Rav!
Use it or lose it. I use absolutely everything I find. Down to cutting up everything I find and don't use to make rags. As you loot a town. Use the rags to make fireplaces as you go in houses. If you want to be frugal just take 1 rag. Put it in the fireplace. Put something in the fire and take the rag out and fireplace will remain. You can turn a town into a temporary storage facility as you loot. Putting stuff you don't need in the fireplaces. At night you can go back thru and light fires back to back to lure people into a trap. I often run thru a town and cut a bunch of trees to add to fires as I go to get long night fires going.
The night vision scopes have a day time setting. You must remove the scope or nvg and hold it in your hand. You will have a prompt that will allow you to switch the mode of the scope from night to day.
You can make paper fires and rag fires with no sticks required. Just drop the rags on the ground. Hold a lighting device near them and it will prompt you to light the rags
Save your landmines for when you can combine it with a trip wire and grenade near the landmines. You want to set it up so that a player will hit one or the other causing both to blow up killing them. Landmines alone will only break a leg most of the time.
Explosive kits can be used with a combo of different explosives. So plastic explosives is not its only usage. You can use grenade, pox and smoke in the kits as well. You don't need a detonator either. Just grab you a kitchen timer or a clock to arm the device. Dupers on console will abuse plastic explosives so it will rarely be found. Christmas time it will be laying everywhere during event because dupers don't even pick it up anymore. So you can stock pile it during the event. Otherwise I use a different combo of explosives depending on the situation. So plastic is not your only option with the kits
You can repair Barb Wire with an electrical kit. You can repair badly damaged barbed wire a better condition to turn it into wire with pliers or repair damaged Barb with the electrical kit even if it's attached to a wall. You can also cut Barbed wire with a knife by melee attack.
Post: blocking off houses and sheds robs loot from everyone who does not carry a shovel. Over time this adds up. In the mean time just build wooden crates and fill them and drop them with loot you don't need to carry. The loot doesn't matter. It matters that you are storing it to control the loot table. I personally use I survive to ping all my drops like it's Stalker. If I return or not to the loot doesn't really matter.
ty I need to rewatch these vids from time to time
great content, as always. you are a gem .
Fair play there was a few things I didn't know.
I can repay for this knowledge by telling you it's; a lot, not alot
Fresh spawn areas or jump spawn locations people will often make stashes near them so they can jump from server to server and have storage. So check the woods near any spawn point. You may get instantly lucky
The hunter scope has 3 zoom settings. You would be surprised how many people I ran into that have played for a long time and did not know this lol
If you guys didn’t know you can also fill a water bottle if it’s raining hard enough. Hold it in your hand and aim straight up
Some great tips I didn't knew as a 2500h player
What a lovely Christmas gift. Cheers Rav!
Thankyou, hope you enjoyed your Christmas.
@@RavPlays same to you mate, may your fresh spawn always be spared from the terrible coast ghillies
You can also use a meat tenderizer to break small stones off of rocks
!!
This is news to me. I see these all the time but just leave them because they seem rather useless otherwise. Good tip 👏👏👏
@@Jim-pq9pm I had no idea ty never pick them up
Can also be used to build and it's silent.
If you find a car. Make it a habit to make as many crates as the vehicle can hold. You can store things in a crate and then store the crate in the car. This way you can quick drop a stash if your going to leave the car somewhere. Always take time to disassemble the car if your going to leave it for any length of time. Drop crates somewhere near. Tire iron 3 tires to lock them on. Keep a gas canister full of water in your stash. Take your radiator out and put it back in empty and lock the radiator in. Remove 1 unlocked tire and put it in stash. Remove battery and spark plug. Always keep an extra radiator in your stash along with tire repair kit, tire iron, wrench to lock doors in place, screw driver and lockpick to lock truck if your going to store anything nice in trunk
The First Tip, Right off the bat was Spicy 🌶️🔥
Just know you can repair plate carriers, balistic, stab, assult, feild, and tactical vest, with a leather sewing kit 11:24 P.S. please tell me if i missed one
9:20 found out by duckin around. This Was a life saver on so many occasions
Never let anyone ever convince you that holding onto a splint isn't worth it.. The splint can & has saved me many times.
- Not by allowing me to "escape" but to allow me to quickly reposition myself so when charlie pushes me, I can be in a different tree or room 25 feet away from where my leg bone was originally broken and more importantly where the enemy presumes I will be at.
Nice! Learned 4! Thanks!
You can also take aprt your fishing rod and use the long stick to cook your fish on a fire then when you're done, you can attach the rope again to remake your fishing rod 😊
Congrats on hitting 100k subs!
Thank you!!
congratulations on reaching 100k subs!
Thank you bro!
On cuts. I am not sure of the #’s, but I’ve experienced the blood infection more frequently on characters that I postponed bandaging. Nothing more sad to me than cutting my hand on the very first shrubs I tried to get a long stick from (before I’ve made hand wraps), then dying from sepsis less than 30 minutes later.
Even among veterans, navigating without a map, compass, and/or landmarks seems to be a challenge. Especially at night.
All 3 DayZ maps (I am unaware of every Workshop map) are in the Northern hemisphere, hence the angle 📐 of the Sun & the Moon are slightly South of you and your shadows are always pointing Northerly.
Even at night.
Trees & buildings also have this shadow mechanic.
Players’ own loss if they’re desperate enough to disable shadows for a few more FPS.
1. a buried wooden box lasts 2 weeks. How long does it last without burying it?
2. what do you need to do with the items to refresh the life counter? like gates, wooden boxes or a log driven into the ground for a flagpole?
1. 45 days, If you don't make any contact with her
2. You want to make the flag, the only thing that does is draw attention and if they throw objects on the ground, they have to stay on the ground for 8 hours so they can be recovered, but for me it's not worth it, there are too many resources.
@@DanielsOliveira1 but the boxes i didn't touch disappeared after around 2 weeks. that's 45 days in game, not real days, right? otherwise what's the point if unburied ones would be stored for 45 days, and buried ones only 14. I tried to find exact information on the internet, but I couldn't find it
@@DanielsOliveira1 I'm not building a complete flagpole. i just drive some logs into the ground to make it harder for the infected to run between them. however, i need to know if i need to periodically attach a log to each pole or if it's enough to just walk up to the pole and check what's lying around to update the pole's lifetime. the poles also disappeared about a week after i didn't touch them. i can't find specific information on this issue
Rav you're soooo close to 100k!!! Premature congratulations 👏 👀
Thankyou bro :)
@RavPlays it happened!
2:28 got me... You've earned my updoot
Saw this tip couple of years ago. Have been checking since. Have not found a single thing.
Making shell bases will help blend in your own base in an area. Keeping people guessing and busy may also end up getting them killed by 3rd parties while they try to raid a bunch of nothing burgers.
Subbed. Started playing again and this helped.
Thanks man, hope you have fun
I assume it's a glitch but often if I walk into a bear trap placed at the bottom of a hunting stand ladder, more precisely if I begin the climbing ladder process animation, the trap will glitch, and it won't break the leg, instead suffering just a little health damage. So keep that in mind ya bloody bastards setting those up! I'm sure it's the climbing animation that negates what ought to occur. Another trap glitch I've witnessed; placing a grenade tripwire trap at the top of the ladder of the camo netted towers, these traps failing to trip when a player disembarks the ladder at the top. If I had to guess it's the disembarking animation that interferes. So it would apply to any ladder a player is getting off.
So putting in or taking out ammo out of a mag actually damages the mag!?
Yeah, ruined my mag the other day.
congts for 100k subs
Thank you so much 😀
Ha! I've been waiting for this knowing the video has to be there soon
How do you end up digging worms using a big shovel?
I only get the create plot prompt from it
thanks for the tips brody
Love to see an official run. Dealing with cheaters and all. Survive for a week
I’m working on a video playing official for 100 days, I’m about a month out from completing it. It’s been a challenge, died a lot of times to some “dodgy” players
@RavPlays nice can't wait
I've got 100 more if you need some savage solo tips to really be a bane in a server.
The torch is the best way to dry clothes. Light a torch and drop it. Drop all your stuff on the torch and wait 45 seconds or so. Your clothes will be dry.
Rav we need an updated lore video for the game. Last was two uears ago and theyve given us so many changes and the new map to unpack for information.
I might have to revisit it
The only way ive kept loot safe off my person for any length of time was stashes.
Two full stacks of rags can be turned into rope which is very helpful if you are starving
Showed my wife this video and now she wants to play. I am eternally grateful. My gratitude has no bounds.
This tips and tricks video completely showcases what makes dayz great.
Well, she will until she realizes that the game is absolutely overflowing with murderous psycopaths.
Either that, or she'll just become one too.
Didnt know about the crates at airfield
Imagine you're a person who has just bought DayZ and thought you'd get some tips before playing ! This video would blow your mind ! 😂
It did mine, and i've been playing for almost 13 years !
Ahahah, it’s a game with alot of depth, I glad you found the video helpful
Been playing on equinox dayz pretty fun rp survival server
I guess its a 5% chance to catch a pot or Wellies... The first time I ever survived long enough to get some fishing going, my 1st cast I caught Wellies and the 2nd cast was a cooking pot.😂
I didn't do well in statistics, idk how to calculate the odds of that. 😂
But it was one of the most fun runs I ever had, I was north of the river in Livonia for days, with only 4 others on the server, and I was just having a fun camping/hiking trip learning the subtleties of the game and exploring.
I went down to the little military area south of Kolembrody and got killed by a guy that I shot unconcious... cus I didn't realize being unconscious was a thing yet, and he got up a minute later and hunted me down with my own shotgun I discarded 😂😂😂.
He said "You dropped this" and blasted me while I bandaging myself after a zombie fight. 😂😂😂
5%*5% = 0.25%. about 1 in 400 times
Thiss helped so much.
Log out tip missed: Go prone and turn to ur back with gun up and ready. Log out
I unfortunately logged in just before the safety net would have spawned me else where when the gas zone starts. I spawned in and within seconds heard the bombs falling. I had just enough materials to bury my important gear before I died of pox.
That’s so unlucky, hopefully you got your stuff back
22:34 this is a big deal to me. I never carry grenades because its not worth it getting shot and exploding
Can get a cooking pot by fishing in the water Wells on sakhal
THX, i didn't know that one.
That might come in handy.
Means you don't have to loot for a water container.
Cool vid but why do chicken's spawn? Do they spawn like fruit and mushrooms?
Stash in a tree. You got me
I was playing on a full server and some weird gas boom dropped, and I got cut and it started killing me
Those are the dynamic gas zones that target towns randomly.
Somehow i know 206 tips and tricks, does that mean im ready to go explore the wilderness in official server?
You can bury a stash in a cemetery plot and it leaves no sign of being there
There's a few areas that don't leave a trace. Unfortunately, console players don't have that advantage on the grave plots
Lighting paper on fire and adding wood to it rather than crafting a fireplace😊
What sickness do you get from eating wolves and Bears?
heavy metal poisoning=chelating tablets
If you don’t have a knife you can also use a crowbar to skin an animal. Don’t ask me how I know that
Slow down brother were in no rush😊
Please note onnly on, Sakhal you will need chelating tablets. Boiling womt work
in 2025 bohemia gonna change the zeds ai (they made a promise) ready for a new 2025688+ tricks? ;)
Always the Aviators 😎
ALWAYS
I knew every tip 😂
Bros a PRO
@RavPlays I watched it to see i was expecting 1 or 2 surprises 😆. Maybe to much dayz the last few years 😆 and watching you mr videos 😆. Plus I just moved to pc yesterday so many more dayz hours to come 😆.
@RavPlays I left my like on the video of course.
I’m 20 hrs in don’t know what to do lol
I fish all the time and I never caught a Compass
This is a perfect video for noobs to watch. It must've taken ages to compile? Well done, liked n subbed n will pin it in my discord for players :)
Thx
I still havent even made a fire. 😂
Only thing new I learned was vitamins last 5 min
I'm new to day z and found this very insightful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
They patched the trick where you can speed up the cooking process by heating it up in the smoking slot first ages ago, at least they said they did in the patch notes.
Also they definitely patched out the metal supressors alerting zombies. They will still be alerted to you through bullet impact sounds if you shoot the ground or wall next to them, but just firing up in the air will not alert them anymore.
Which patch note for the cooking ?
@aliciadorablee Not 100% sure. I know its been at least a year since theyve fixed it, but searching through all the updates i can't find the exact patch notes. I think it was around 1.16-1.20. It was labeled as a bug fix if i remember correctly.
Not a good sign when you realize that you know all of these tips.
Time for me to get a real life.
Why is the barely any loot on consoles like i cant find anything useful
