yesterday i played for the first time, walked into a bunker and found shoes, it was all i had, i turned around and a bald dude started punching me aggressively in the face, stole my shoes and i never saw him again. love this game
Highly recommend the server Dayz+. It is console only, has a very active community, with a discord, factions, Raid weekends, supply drops and much much more!!!!! Way more fun than any official server
@@tylerrichens2894 is it boosted loot? How is it different from official in technical aspects like that? I'm looking for a cool servers man a duper has destroyed the server I've been on
Great to see this video for console. PC gets all of attention from experienced UA-camrs. I have over 4000 hours on DayZ. Over 2k on console (where I started) and right at 2k on PC. I do still play console with my son's. Console DayZ deserves more attention. It's a Great version of the game!
Unofficial servers are best for beginners if you can find a +loot server, on these servers you'll find the same loot in the same places but at an increased amount so you not only get to know where different things can spawn faster but you should survive long enough to get to know the locations more
@@mrp7228 for the majority of people theyll never play after dying from starvation twice, there's a reason games usually release without a survival mode only to add it when people are more knowledgable.
Hey, just a few pieces of additional info for anyone interested. To elaborate on Ghosting: DayZ introduced a system long ago that prevents loading into specific places when you server jump, so don’t worry about protecting bases. No one can re-login to the middle of one. What I was trying to illustrate was, if you’re tracking someone or you’re in a standoff, they can switch server, causing them to log back in to a new spawn point. They then run back to your location and flank. But I in no way meant they can spawn directly behind you, only they can spawn somewhere new and travel to your location. This is especially troublesome when you're scouting out bases and think you've trapped the defenders inside. There was an excellent video of someone doing it in a stream like a month ago but for the life of me I can’t find it! Would appreciate a link if anyone comes across it =] Feel free to comment a server you recommend. I have a beginner's guide: ua-cam.com/video/cz6MHE16foo/v-deo.html Will add more info here if I think of it. Thank you for watching!
This is such a good video. I just started on ps5 and have been all over UA-cam trying to learn and make it easier for me. This definitely helped way more than other beginner videos. Thanks

Official is good for a slow paced hardcore survival adventure. I like the fact loot is scarse it makes it harder to survive and makes high end gear really valuable.
Cool to see someone helping the community. Just one thing, the official servers dont let you server hop where you were, it puts you in a random part of the map near the coast. ( :

A very helpful video, my buddy and I recently bought this game and have been getting fairly good experience from every new respawn but other times can be very frustrated due to the lack of our understanding and well.. fresh players who try to kill on sight rather than try and RP, could've robbed me, put a gun in my face etc or asked to trade some supplies etc lol nothing more frustrating than getting killed right out of the gate when you have little to nothing worth killing someone over lol. I get it kill or be killed but it really doesn't have to be like that, good to know we can find some community servers with ppl who won't kill you for an apple 🤣
I'm about 4 weeks in mate and I find all the official server's %95 percent will just kill or shoot you on sight it's very frustrating get off the coast as soon as you can is what helped me you can avoid players a lot easier even no they are fully kitted out,its to busy/hostile in the city's and have a fue go to's on community that old mate mentions in this video I wish I found his when I started because it gives you freedom to learn the game and enjoy it instead of being on edge all the time and dying :) go a pve only on community and you will learn the game much quickly,as what can take day's in official I've done in a fue hours on the pve community ones it's great
I really wish I could get you a million subs! Your videos are always very engaging and very informative...thank you and keep it up! I will continue to support your channel! thank you once again!!!! I'm very new to DayZ (a week old) and i've found my way around thanks to you. All i'm missing now is a buddy I can build a base with!
Getting into console dayz and fully wishing I had a pc, im happy to work with what I’ve got but the mod maps are so appealing as opposed to the grey dank look of the standards. Love the video, easy sub for ya.
Thank you!! And I understand that, it's definitely fun to go onto the other servers, but I still spend 90% of my time on regular Chenarus ha hopefully they bring mods to the console too. I can see it happening console-wide in the future personally
This was a great guide to showcase the servers menu. I also appreciate the little note you mentioned on how it’s our story and how we can do whatever we want with it. Definitely subscribing material.
Finally console gets some love! Great video! I'm a noob starting today this helped a lot! But I must say their inventory system needs a whole overhaul it's very confusing?! Got killed many of times messing around my inventory trying to just figure out how to stick things in certain pockets or a quick backpacks and yeah but still fun game overall just wish the inventory was a little easier!!
Lived in a base wipe to wipe with no raids or losses on official. It's all about where you build. Learn the quiet spots and get good at running a long way to get top tier loot.
@@vamperxDs Yeah the NE corner of the map is generally the quietest. Belyana Polyana is quiet and has a 2 story house you can build in to avoid swimmers. Lots of good spots in the woods south of there along the first mountain ridge. I'm making videos on my channel and I'll include something about good hiding spots.
@@RK-zh5vj hahah Now i only need some m8s on Console to play With i dont mind soloing but everyone i meet Is either hostile or already in a larger group
Sorry, I didn't see this! But yeah, absolutely location can make a huge difference. I find bases near the SW generally go unnoticed, especially if you get one on the right side of the hills/mountains =]
I've only ever played community/custom servers. I've had crazy experiences and stories from these amazing servers. From hard, I mean unforgiving survival servers with low low loot spawns to crazy large storage capacity gear and tons of high tier loot but expensive base building and vehicls. Oh and crazy hard zombies or bear hoards and extremely tanky mutant bears. Weeks and months of fun
Bear hordes, I just feel like they're two words I never want to see together haha but I totally get it. Community servers let you somewhat customise your game depending on how you feel. It's great to have the option!
Yeah. I can't speak on how officel server experience is since I haven't played them since arma 2 dayz mod. But I'm not knocking them down as a fun, action packed heart bearing experience on their own. Heck. Managing stamina has been something I've not had to experience on community servers and it stress me out. XD
@@snowwann273 I switch between them mostly but I'm currently playing official now for the holiday update, it's added a few things such as Santa hat/beard and sleighs instead of helicopter crash sites ha
I could have sworn the ghosting exploit was fixed years ago when they made you log in and be in a random spawn instead of where you logged out at. It was a major pain in the arse not getting to log back in at the spot you logged out if you zwit he'd servers but was being used to stop logging out while outside a base swapping servers then logging back in inside the base...then swap to be outside the base with all your ill gotten loot.
Honestly just got started in dayz and recommend to start in community/military spawn servers. Really got me use to how my health works, moving things in and out of my inventory, gun play etc I’ve been playing official servers more now that I actually know how to operate basic things in the game
I generally just hop from server to server on official. Haven’t died for 4 days now so I’m doing pretty okay. Looking from where I came from a couple years ago, I’m proud of how far I’ve come.
Highly recommend the server Dayz+. It is console only, has a very active community, with a discord, factions, Raid weekends, supply drops and much much more!!!!!
I find some community servers where the owners and their friends play don't follow their own server rules...they break the rules but if you do your banned
The ghosting thing happened to me just last week, they logged out, got a new respawn and then got me from behind. My friend caught them running down from some trees, but there was literally no way for them to escape so when he told me I was confused. Luckily my friend headshot him and I got my gear back later on, but it's annoying!
I don't understand this. If you are on official and you change server you spawn into a respawn zone, not where you logged out at, so this makes no sense.
@@rustyrebar123 It makes perfect sense, it's even explained multiple times throughout the comment section including in a pinned comment. You're just not understanding what is being said...
PS4 The Blizzardline RP server is awesome. This will be a Sakhal(Frostline) map. Tons of different jobs, ranking system, discord shop, THE LARGEST in game trader, great community, and active owners.
Server reset mid April. I believe the 19th. Let's goooo!! Almost at 1000 hours gametime. Found players and made a crew, and built bases and raided a few insane ones. I cant wait to be on all day on the server reset day to get a jump on the AUGs and M4s
I remember the first time I played DayZ in console, oh man I didn't got to railed but only for the reason I was good in shooters lol, how the guns did work and I didn't knew how the hell to shoot them got me killed, it was a good experience learning all without knowing was the vest way for me I really enjoyed it, learning of my mistakes.
SUGGESTION: Would love to see a sort of walkthrough guide with narration on what you are doing and why on how to achieve some of the basics from a fresh spawn as a newb ( find food, get a weapon to defend yourself, stabilize, and then next steps )!!! ABOUT ME: My dudes I just picked up dayz this week. I feel so fucking lost haha. I swear 90% of the time I die either due to lack of food and the other 10% is to zombies as I almost never find a decent mele weapon and have NEVER found ammo for any guns ( only found a actual gun a hand full of times and no ammo ). Edit: btw discovered you just recently and like the content! Very well made and high quality! Hope you grow the channel!
Hey, thank you for the nice comment! I actually have a beginner's guide that should hopefully help you out! It tells you pretty much everything you need to know, including how to get weapons, what buildings to go in for food and a bunch of other stuff that may help. If you have any specific questions I don't address there, I'll try and help out as well if you ask me here. Guide: ua-cam.com/video/cz6MHE16foo/v-deo.html
Man is this gonna be helpful, I’ve only ever loaded in once, and recently re-downloaded the game again (From game pass). I had to make sure to subscribe!!!, I watched a few of your other beginner guides and they seem very helpful. Just one question, can you use keyboard and mouse on a console even if the server doesn’t have the Icon? (On official servers)
I'm going to say that multiple accounts would be more likely the reason for ghosting. The chances of getting a respawn near and travel before the person just leaves are very slim.
It mostly happens when they're defending bases, rather than general encounters, so people are there trying to raid for quite a while. But I'm definitely not saying it's not down to multiple accounts too, either way it can be a problem! =]
Try 12 x loot and food on community servers, it's low on players and a great server! I literally have top tier weopens, gear and almost full inventory of food in first hour of playing cuz it first spawned me in military barracks and then I made my way south I think and found houses with food and then hit coastline and found tons of food but crashed row boats on the shore of the coastline
I've been playing this game for 3 days now religiously. So far I've changed clothes a lot,built about 7 fires,ate a bunch of food and found an abundant amount of ammo... no guns though lol
Thanks for the advice man I honestly have had such a hard time playing the game because the map is so big and there's no way to orientate where I'm going when you start so I started playing on community servers with mods just to get familiarized with the gear Because every time I played on a official server I would get a good amount of gear and then die because I can't find food.......
just got the game and first time spawning i walk into a warehouse found a belt and boots tried working the inventory then suddenly a bald woman with no clothes on came up and started aggresivley punching me she then stole my boots belt and my clothes revied me and then punched me in the dick and ran off. This game is fucking great
Me personally how I learned how to play the game was more of figuring out what does what in a high pop server and then moving on to official and all the other stuff cuz it's easier to do stuff in the community servers.
When I first started playing dayz I started on console playing on official servers and that shit is brutal I remember searching for a gun for like an hour only to get domed 10 minutes later lol good times tho
Having pre planned routes help. I usually head straight to borek, nidek, lipina, then I make myself comfortable at Nadbór. That’s after finding the basics to survive at the starting towns like brena and tarnow.
Hello Pal. Thanx for the Vid. I'm a Vigor player and been watching DayZ content for a while. The prob is they are all PC users. I hated using a mouse and keyboard 25 years ago and still hate it. In fact now Im old and have sausage fingers I'm worse now. I suppose the DayZ on console will be the same if it's XB or PS. Its just a case of deciding which proprietary games you want to play and how their online charging $$$ is. BTW I play Vigor on Switch. I bought it Jan 2020 for Zelda BoTW. Best money I ever spent. Did 5 to 600 hours and it got me released from the Pub addiction. I'll give you a sub and see what else you have. Thanx again!
Thank you for your comment! I have a lot more videos planned that should cover everything: PC, XB and PS. Also, I just got Astral Chain for my Switch and it's really fun. BoTW is one of the best games I've ever played thoughh
It's fine I'm thousands and thousands of hours in and I still appear to suck ha Nah, you'll definitely get there. Once you can get the basics down the rest falls into place =]
Thank you! Official servers are around 12 hours, unless they have issues behind the scenes then they'll shorten that time to around 8. And community can be whatever the owner sets, so they're super varied. But it's usually 6 hours average.
I think that's an issue the Devs are supposedly aware of. No idea when they'll get around to fixing it though, it's been a while now. Currently the suggestion is to search for the white favourite star in the server lists.
@@AlwaysStreams yeah it has been a long time. Not longer than a year, but sometime early in 2021 it happened. I remember uninstalling thinking it was in my end. Minor issue, but will be elated when it is eventually fixed.
@@je3229 Tbh there are a few things I'd like to see them fix on both console and Xbox. I sometimes can't loot people when I kill them still😅 it's been 5 years
@@je3229 it happened to me after I added too many servers to my favourites, had to go through each individual page of community and unfavourite every single one to get it working again once I favourite over 8 servers they disappear again
Well I question I still need to know if you throw yourself on a nade will it shorten the blast radious, not that I've encountered it just as the game seems quite realistic Im interested to know :) good luck and no doubt I'll be back in the comments looking for tips :)
I think the PVE community servers would be the best place to start - especially fairly high pop as a lot of them have people who are keen to help out and coach people... just be careful you haven't accidentally picked up some hardcore Syberia/Namalsk mods - which are great fun, but not really for the beginner!
@@AlwaysStreams do you know any servers where I can get high tier military loot and good food for xbox? That's also pve? I wanna test all the weapons gear etc.
@@ctc4392 If you type PVE or friendly in, there are some great ones that come up. I don't know any specifically off the top but I'll check next time I load up the xbox
Me and my group of friends started on Official. We went to community, and found that a lot of the players aren't great. They're so dependent on base ping and UAV's, that a standard gun fight they fail.
Thank you so incredibly much for this video, this is the only thing I needed help with. The whole Server thing confuses the total heck out of me. i want to just jump on and press play. And I just want to play the original regular game exactly how the developers intending it to be played. I don’t understand what I’m looking at when I see all the servers and little Icons. I’m just not used to the whole Server idea as a I never played Minecraft or anything with multiple server options.
Hey pal! Just a quick question please? Which community server do u suggest in xbox or ps4 for new player that find issues with food, like I've been playing 4 hours straight on an official server and the main reason I kept dying was lack of food, i just need a good server that has players and most importantly medium loot so I don't starve to death lol, best of luck pal, you're doing a great job.
Thank you! You should be able to type in the word food to the filter and servers with more food and loot should come up. They usually have like x5 or x90(for example) in the title too. It should help. Food is a nightmare at the start!
Dude you deserve ALL the subs and likes. And may all who dislike step on Legos every night for the rest of eternity in the afterlife. I feel so stupid for only recently grinding out the entire learning curve that is DayZ. I've owned the game since release on console and known about it for far longer, I just never gave it the chance. These videos of yours have literally fast forwarded my learning curve exponentially.
🤣🤣🤣 thank you, and I'm glad they've helped, genuinely. I almost shelved the game myself way back when, it's such an easy thing to want to do at first because it's designed to kill you from every angle, but I'm so glad I didn't.
@@AlwaysStreams exactly! That game literally wants you to struggle and die. Over and over. That's what kept me away, but now it's what keeps me coming back. This game has more substance and attention to detail than 99.99% of the games I've played in the past 20 years lol
@@R-UBBERD-UCK Yeah, once you get used to it and know how to lock them up, they're just an annoyance. I say this, I was KO'd by about 14 military zombies like three days ago after my improvised suppressor gave out. I thought I had one more silenced shot in it 🥲

Thank you! And I find the majority of official servers don't usually have that many bases on them, certainly not active ones. I think people learn t heir lesson about how easy raids are on them very quickly ha
You should really do a review of Barba Rija hard-core server for Playstation. It's EXTREMELY hard to just survive. Experienced DayZ players will struggle. It really is a great challenge.
I recently just started playing on Xbox and I was wondering is there any quick ways to maybe turn on the MNK without using mouse and keyboard? Like how destiny has the floating cursor icon or is it just stuck whether you’re playing on Consol? And also, do you recommend any cheap mouse and keyboard wireless for Xbox?
I’ve found some cool servers but there’s only like 4 in EU that ever have high player count on my series x! Just looking to have some mad adventures haha 😆 ive never even built a base and I’ve played for a year
I’ve been playing on strictly one official server, had a base on it for almost a year now, only been harassed by a handful of freshies, never been raided to this day so… yeah, if I stayed on the community server that I was playing on, which is now closed down and decided to build my base there, I would have lost everything and had to start on another server again.I’d honestly say official servers are the way to go, on a community server, you are relying on somebody else to keep an expensive server running… if they suddenly decide to close the server down, poof, your progress and your loot is gone. On official, they are permanent unless stated otherwise.
Official wipes more than some community. They also recently deleted a bunch including the one I was on haha. The risks are the same. And now with duping back it's pretty much impossible to keep a big base in a city.
NCRP CHERNARUS season 14 is where it’s at for Xbox! Best server I’ve been on in 4 years! Great community of hero’s villains and crazy rp characters we got factions solos base raiding everything! Admins get back to you at a reasonable time usually they’re on it with help or questions if you want an experience on Xbox consoles come over to NCRP!!!!!
@@tortuga9223 slightly boosted loot ie you’ll find ak and m4s but you’ll still have to look. Lars and vsds are Helis only. Traders at altar plus safe zone there. 2 settlements and like 8 or 9 factions at the min. Nights is half hour and loot is still basically like official only that you will more likely find decent guns in nwaf and tisy but you’ll still have to hunt for mags ammo etc. check it out man you need to join the discord to get whitelisted. Purge is at weekends so that’s when raiding can be done. Once a week they do a black market trader to sell weed for discord money and other things. And then there is weekly hard point events also
Thank you! I also have a video specifically for PC players posted at the same time. It's mostly the same but talks a bit about modded servers and so on😁 but I'm glad you liked it
Bro think you so much, I just got the game for ps4 like a few days ago. And if I am not dying from Thirst I am dying from hunger. Official servers can be so hard on getting food and other 💩 just to have fun and play. lol I never new what community servers was for. I will try it out 2night. I just want to explore relax and Have fun
I'm glad it helped! Also just so you know I posted a video last week recommending specific community servers for PlayStation, so if you don't find one yourself it might help you out =]
Yeahhh, it's annoying. But make sure you read my pinned comment about ghosting. If they've been silent for a while, they're probably running to your location so you can use this to your advantage!
Yeah, DayZ problems ha but if you get on a base-heavy server you can raid others and get most of your stuff back so I never mind being raided Or there are some community servers with base damage turned off(and tents), so theoretically you can last larger. Just make sure no one can climb in from vehicles or boosting. Glitching is something we can't fight against really, but doubling walls can actually help with this a lot in my experience. They then get trapped between walls ha! You might know all this anyway, but just in case, maybe it helps
Ok about the server resets I have noticed I'll be in a house or building I already looted than the reset happens when I log back in most of the time there will be loot again and most of the time it's not the same loot. I was on a server the other day needed a gun badly looted a house I logged out than back in and there was a pistol right there
i like the concept of the video. Giving new players pointers on servers. good shit. But I cant get behind the official slander. Official servers may be a little intimidating to a new player but great times can be had there. Some of my most memorable moments have happened on official servers. But community is great too.
I mean, I recommended it in the end😅 but generally speaking almost all the veteran players I speak with will stick to community servers. I don't know many who routinely use official. But I didn't say they were awful or anything =]
@@AlwaysStreams Fine I will say it…… official servers are absolute TRASH!!! I have spent hours recently trying to get back into the game after a break. The essential items do not spawn at a acceptable rate. I am playing with two friends and we can’t find lighters, matches, knives, stones, canned food, plastic bottles!?!

I'm very new to DayZ (a week old) and i've found my way around thanks to you. All i'm missing now is a buddy I can build a base with!
Getting into console dayz and fully wishing I had a pc, im happy to work with what I’ve got but the mod maps are so appealing as opposed to the grey dank look of the standards. Love the video, easy sub for ya.
Thank you!! And I understand that, it's definitely fun to go onto the other servers, but I still spend 90% of my time on regular Chenarus ha hopefully they bring mods to the console too. I can see it happening console-wide in the future personally
Such an underrated channel!!
Thank you so much!
Been playing for ages and didn't know a lot of that. Very helpful video, good job.
I'm really glad to hear! Thank you for the comment =]
This was a great guide to showcase the servers menu. I also appreciate the little note you mentioned on how it’s our story and how we can do whatever we want with it. Definitely subscribing material.
Thanks for doing this for console. I finally got a series s and this was a big help. Great job!
Thank you! I always try and cover console too. I play as much console as I do PC so I'll always include it =]
Finally console gets some love! Great video! I'm a noob starting today this helped a lot! But I must say their inventory system needs a whole overhaul it's very confusing?! Got killed many of times messing around my inventory trying to just figure out how to stick things in certain pockets or a quick backpacks and yeah but still fun game overall just wish the inventory was a little easier!!
Yeah, you can use a mouse and a keyboard to make it easier, but failing that, eventually you'll get used to it and just go through it a lot quicker =]
Huge help as usual 👍🏻
Thanks for the info my guy, this was really helpful and well laid out.
Thank you for the comment! =]
Lived in a base wipe to wipe with no raids or losses on official. It's all about where you build. Learn the quiet spots and get good at running a long way to get top tier loot.
U got some Spots? Im New and could use a spot
@@vamperxDs Yeah the NE corner of the map is generally the quietest. Belyana Polyana is quiet and has a 2 story house you can build in to avoid swimmers. Lots of good spots in the woods south of there along the first mountain ridge. I'm making videos on my channel and I'll include something about good hiding spots.
@@RK-zh5vj hahah Now i only need some m8s on Console to play With i dont mind soloing but everyone i meet Is either hostile or already in a larger group
@@vamperxDs I play on xbox, if you're on there shoot me a message, my GT is Gts4tw
Sorry, I didn't see this! But yeah, absolutely location can make a huge difference. I find bases near the SW generally go unnoticed, especially if you get one on the right side of the hills/mountains =]
I live in western canada and my only server options were Miami and New York. Good to know i can find better ones closer to me.
New to dayz. Been watching your beginner’s videos. Truly helped me! TY 🤜🏼🤛🏼
I've only ever played community/custom servers. I've had crazy experiences and stories from these amazing servers.
From hard, I mean unforgiving survival servers with low low loot spawns to crazy large storage capacity gear and tons of high tier loot but expensive base building and vehicls. Oh and crazy hard zombies or bear hoards and extremely tanky mutant bears.
Weeks and months of fun
Bear hordes, I just feel like they're two words I never want to see together haha but I totally get it. Community servers let you somewhat customise your game depending on how you feel. It's great to have the option!
Yeah. I can't speak on how officel server experience is since I haven't played them since arma 2 dayz mod. But I'm not knocking them down as a fun, action packed heart bearing experience on their own. Heck. Managing stamina has been something I've not had to experience on community servers and it stress me out. XD
@@snowwann273 I switch between them mostly but I'm currently playing official now for the holiday update, it's added a few things such as Santa hat/beard and sleighs instead of helicopter crash sites ha
Oh that's really neat! @AlwaysStreams
this surely helped me change and better my way to continue playing dayz! thank you
I could have sworn the ghosting exploit was fixed years ago when they made you log in and be in a random spawn instead of where you logged out at. It was a major pain in the arse not getting to log back in at the spot you logged out if you zwit he'd servers but was being used to stop logging out while outside a base swapping servers then logging back in inside the base...then swap to be outside the base with all your ill gotten loot.
It is, I explain in a very short video that appears in the top right as I mention it, I wasn't exactly clear in this one =]
Great vid, Lot of info for new players.
Honestly just got started in dayz and recommend to start in community/military spawn servers. Really got me use to how my health works, moving things in and out of my inventory, gun play etc
I’ve been playing official servers more now that I actually know how to operate basic things in the game
I generally just hop from server to server on official. Haven’t died for 4 days now so I’m doing pretty okay. Looking from where I came from a couple years ago, I’m proud of how far I’ve come.
You play on xbox?
@@justinsinclair2665 nah, I play on playstation. And I ended up dying like a week after this comment was left lmao.
@Sherlock Bones is there crossplatform ?
Highly recommend the server Dayz+. It is console only, has a very active community, with a discord, factions, Raid weekends, supply drops and much much more!!!!!
I find some community servers where the owners and their friends play don't follow their own server rules...they break the rules but if you do your banned
Is that common?
The ghosting thing happened to me just last week, they logged out, got a new respawn and then got me from behind. My friend caught them running down from some trees, but there was literally no way for them to escape so when he told me I was confused. Luckily my friend headshot him and I got my gear back later on, but it's annoying!
It's a pain 😅
I don't understand this. If you are on official and you change server you spawn into a respawn zone, not where you logged out at, so this makes no sense.
@@rustyrebar123 It makes perfect sense, it's even explained multiple times throughout the comment section including in a pinned comment. You're just not understanding what is being said...
PS4 The Blizzardline RP server is awesome. This will be a Sakhal(Frostline) map. Tons of different jobs, ranking system, discord shop, THE LARGEST in game trader, great community, and active owners.
Super, super, super helpful as a new player.
Thanks for making this.
Glad you liked it!
Just came across your channel. Top marks dude,subbed without blinking. Makes a nice change watchingfrom the console players being educated
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it enough to sub!
Server reset mid April. I believe the 19th. Let's goooo!! Almost at 1000 hours gametime. Found players and made a crew, and built bases and raided a few insane ones. I cant wait to be on all day on the server reset day to get a jump on the AUGs and M4s
I remember the first time I played DayZ in console, oh man I didn't got to railed but only for the reason I was good in shooters lol, how the guns did work and I didn't knew how the hell to shoot them got me killed, it was a good experience learning all without knowing was the vest way for me I really enjoyed it, learning of my mistakes.
Haha, I hope it goes well!
@@AlwaysStreams it was lol, but damn the discrimination against no mics killed the fun for me.
@@narvol503unique gotta get a mic my man
Dude thanks your vids are amazing
Glad you like them! Thank you!
SUGGESTION: Would love to see a sort of walkthrough guide with narration on what you are doing and why on how to achieve some of the basics from a fresh spawn as a newb ( find food, get a weapon to defend yourself, stabilize, and then next steps )!!!
ABOUT ME: My dudes I just picked up dayz this week. I feel so fucking lost haha. I swear 90% of the time I die either due to lack of food and the other 10% is to zombies as I almost never find a decent mele weapon and have NEVER found ammo for any guns ( only found a actual gun a hand full of times and no ammo ).
Edit: btw discovered you just recently and like the content! Very well made and high quality! Hope you grow the channel!
Hey, thank you for the nice comment! I actually have a beginner's guide that should hopefully help you out! It tells you pretty much everything you need to know, including how to get weapons, what buildings to go in for food and a bunch of other stuff that may help. If you have any specific questions I don't address there, I'll try and help out as well if you ask me here.
Guide: ua-cam.com/video/cz6MHE16foo/v-deo.html
Man is this gonna be helpful, I’ve only ever loaded in once, and recently re-downloaded the game again (From game pass). I had to make sure to subscribe!!!, I watched a few of your other beginner guides and they seem very helpful. Just one question, can you use keyboard and mouse on a console even if the server doesn’t have the Icon? (On official servers)
These are very helpful videos. Thanks! :)
Clutch!! Helped me out a lot!!
I'm going to say that multiple accounts would be more likely the reason for ghosting. The chances of getting a respawn near and travel before the person just leaves are very slim.
It mostly happens when they're defending bases, rather than general encounters, so people are there trying to raid for quite a while. But I'm definitely not saying it's not down to multiple accounts too, either way it can be a problem! =]
Cheers lad good luck with channel
I just found you and am loving you I’m not very good at dayz (not a lot of hours) you explain things very well
Thank you! I hope it all helps you =]
Try 12 x loot and food on community servers, it's low on players and a great server! I literally have top tier weopens, gear and almost full inventory of food in first hour of playing cuz it first spawned me in military barracks and then I made my way south I think and found houses with food and then hit coastline and found tons of food but crashed row boats on the shore of the coastline
Thank you for teaching me
I've been playing this game for 3 days now religiously. So far I've changed clothes a lot,built about 7 fires,ate a bunch of food and found an abundant amount of ammo... no guns though lol
I have a guide on how to find guns if needed, few months back =]
Thanks for the advice man I honestly have had such a hard time playing the game because the map is so big and there's no way to orientate where I'm going when you start so I started playing on community servers with mods just to get familiarized with the gear Because every time I played on a official server I would get a good amount of gear and then die because I can't find food.......
Official can be difficult, absolutely. Community servers are so much fun ngl
Good guide! Best of luck to your channel. Got my subscription
Thank you!
Thanks for the tips!!
just got the game and first time spawning i walk into a warehouse found a belt and boots tried working the inventory then suddenly a bald woman with no clothes on came up and started aggresivley punching me she then stole my boots belt and my clothes revied me and then punched me in the dick and ran off. This game is fucking great
😂😂😂😂 I mean, welcome to DayZ
You just made a new subscriber 👌 keep the content coming
Thank you!
Me personally how I learned how to play the game was more of figuring out what does what in a high pop server and then moving on to official and all the other stuff cuz it's easier to do stuff in the community servers.
Thanks for the good info
excellent info, just subbed🙌
Thank you! =D
Just subbed, great video!
Thank you!
Very informative. Thank you.
When I first started playing dayz I started on console playing on official servers and that shit is brutal I remember searching for a gun for like an hour only to get domed 10 minutes later lol good times tho
Same 😂
Having pre planned routes help. I usually head straight to borek, nidek, lipina, then I make myself comfortable at Nadbór. That’s after finding the basics to survive at the starting towns like brena and tarnow.
good explaination. i want to play for sure now ! thanks
Glad it helped =]
def grabbing this .
I have a idea let's all play on the fast night server. Lots of stuff laying around and mot many zombies. Plus as it's stated fast nights!
Definitely could work for some people.
Great video 👍👍👍
“From The Ashes” for a hard survival and a raid only weekend. PvP anytime
Hello Pal. Thanx for the Vid. I'm a Vigor player and been watching DayZ content for a while. The prob is they are all PC users. I hated using a mouse and keyboard 25 years ago and still hate it. In fact now Im old and have sausage fingers I'm worse now. I suppose the DayZ on console will be the same if it's XB or PS. Its just a case of deciding which proprietary games you want to play and how their online charging $$$ is. BTW I play Vigor on Switch. I bought it Jan 2020 for Zelda BoTW. Best money I ever spent. Did 5 to 600 hours and it got me released from the Pub addiction. I'll give you a sub and see what else you have. Thanx again!
Thank you for your comment! I have a lot more videos planned that should cover everything: PC, XB and PS.
Also, I just got Astral Chain for my Switch and it's really fun. BoTW is one of the best games I've ever played thoughh
Thanks for your content, I’m a complete newb and its really helping, although i still appear to suck!
It's fine I'm thousands and thousands of hours in and I still appear to suck ha Nah, you'll definitely get there. Once you can get the basics down the rest falls into place =]
Learn the basics of surving first
Good video 👍 do you how how many hours are between each server restart been trying to figure that out for awhile now
Thank you! Official servers are around 12 hours, unless they have issues behind the scenes then they'll shorten that time to around 8. And community can be whatever the owner sets, so they're super varied. But it's usually 6 hours average.
Favoriting servers hasn’t worked console for me for about a year. I just had to learn what all of my servers were.
I think that's an issue the Devs are supposedly aware of. No idea when they'll get around to fixing it though, it's been a while now. Currently the suggestion is to search for the white favourite star in the server lists.
@@AlwaysStreams yeah it has been a long time. Not longer than a year, but sometime early in 2021 it happened. I remember uninstalling thinking it was in my end. Minor issue, but will be elated when it is eventually fixed.
@@je3229 Tbh there are a few things I'd like to see them fix on both console and Xbox. I sometimes can't loot people when I kill them still😅 it's been 5 years
@@je3229 it happened to me after I added too many servers to my favourites, had to go through each individual page of community and unfavourite every single one to get it working again once I favourite over 8 servers they disappear again
@@keanegamesthis is interesting. I’m going to look into this.
Dropped a like and a sub as I just started this game and this has been really useful.
Goodluck with it! There's a beginners guide too if you ever need any more help.
Watched them both buddy, just an idea for future videos maybe a mythbusters kinda thing may already have been done but carry on 1k subs soon!
@@kenziemckenzie5099 I genuinely didn't even consider that. Thank you for your idea!
Well I question I still need to know if you throw yourself on a nade will it shorten the blast radious, not that I've encountered it just as the game seems quite realistic Im interested to know :) good luck and no doubt I'll be back in the comments looking for tips :)
@@kenziemckenzie5099 I could definitely find that out! Ha thank you and you're always welcome 🙂
I think the PVE community servers would be the best place to start - especially fairly high pop as a lot of them have people who are keen to help out and coach people... just be careful you haven't accidentally picked up some hardcore Syberia/Namalsk mods - which are great fun, but not really for the beginner!
Well done and subbed...
Thank you!
Incredible content - thank you, I’ll be keeping an eye on uploads and I’d love to play sometime.
Thank you for the comment! I'll probably set up a server sometime after Christmas so people can hop on with me should anyone want to play together =]
@@AlwaysStreams do you know any servers where I can get high tier military loot and good food for xbox? That's also pve? I wanna test all the weapons gear etc.
@@ctc4392 If you type PVE or friendly in, there are some great ones that come up. I don't know any specifically off the top but I'll check next time I load up the xbox
I created a new character on a temporary offical server, this character will not transfer to another offical server
"Meeting up with friends isn't as quick and easy as you would like"
Because dayz has always made that simple XD
Haha yeahhhhh
Me and my group of friends started on Official. We went to community, and found that a lot of the players aren't great. They're so dependent on base ping and UAV's, that a standard gun fight they fail.
Thank you so incredibly much for this video, this is the only thing I needed help with.
The whole Server thing confuses the total heck out of me. i want to just jump on and press play. And I just want to play the original regular game exactly how the developers intending it to be played. I don’t understand what I’m looking at when I see all the servers and little Icons. I’m just not used to the whole Server idea as a I never played Minecraft or anything with multiple server options.
Then just click any server on the official list. That's how it's meant to be played and they're all servers made by the developers =]
@@AlwaysStreams thank you so much for this video and your help
@@KiLLJOY1056 no problem! =]
thanks for video
Hey pal! Just a quick question please? Which community server do u suggest in xbox or ps4 for new player that find issues with food, like I've been playing 4 hours straight on an official server and the main reason I kept dying was lack of food, i just need a good server that has players and most importantly medium loot so I don't starve to death lol, best of luck pal, you're doing a great job.
Thank you! You should be able to type in the word food to the filter and servers with more food and loot should come up. They usually have like x5 or x90(for example) in the title too. It should help. Food is a nightmare at the start!
@@AlwaysStreams much love bro
Dude you deserve ALL the subs and likes. And may all who dislike step on Legos every night for the rest of eternity in the afterlife. I feel so stupid for only recently grinding out the entire learning curve that is DayZ. I've owned the game since release on console and known about it for far longer, I just never gave it the chance. These videos of yours have literally fast forwarded my learning curve exponentially.
🤣🤣🤣 thank you, and I'm glad they've helped, genuinely. I almost shelved the game myself way back when, it's such an easy thing to want to do at first because it's designed to kill you from every angle, but I'm so glad I didn't.
@@AlwaysStreams exactly! That game literally wants you to struggle and die. Over and over. That's what kept me away, but now it's what keeps me coming back. This game has more substance and attention to detail than 99.99% of the games I've played in the past 20 years lol
@@R-UBBERD-UCK Absolutely, I always refer to it as a hardcore survival game, with emphasis on the hard XD
@@AlwaysStreams well i think what cracks me up the most is the zombies. they’re so irrelevant.
@@R-UBBERD-UCK Yeah, once you get used to it and know how to lock them up, they're just an annoyance. I say this, I was KO'd by about 14 military zombies like three days ago after my improvised suppressor gave out. I thought I had one more silenced shot in it 🥲
When you join a different server it relocates you to a random spot though…
I posted about it: "To elaborate on Ghosting: DayZ introduced a system long ago that prevents loading into specific places when you server jump, so don’t worry about protecting bases. No one can re-login to the middle of one. What I was trying to illustrate was, if you’re tracking someone or you’re in a standoff, they can switch server, causing them to log back in to a new spawn point. They then run back to your location and flank. But I in no way meant they can spawn directly behind you, only they can spawn somewhere new and travel to your location. This is especially troublesome when you're scouting out bases and think you've trapped the defenders inside. There was an excellent video of someone doing it in a stream like a month ago but for the life of me I can’t find it! Would appreciate a link if anyone comes across it =]"
Great video! I really wish there was a good server on Xbox with no bases and medium or high pop 😢
Thank you! And I find the majority of official servers don't usually have that many bases on them, certainly not active ones. I think people learn t heir lesson about how easy raids are on them very quickly ha
@@AlwaysStreams very good point! A buried stash is a much smarter idea
Good vid. Is it playable on PS4 do you know?! Mate of mine bought it after I told him some stories about me playing it on PC!
It can get a bit laggy when driving/near large bases but lots of the footage in this video was recorded on it =]
You should really do a review of Barba Rija hard-core server for Playstation. It's EXTREMELY hard to just survive. Experienced DayZ players will struggle. It really is a great challenge.
Is this still a thing?
Thanks 👍
I recently just started playing on Xbox and I was wondering is there any quick ways to maybe turn on the MNK without using mouse and keyboard? Like how destiny has the floating cursor icon or is it just stuck whether you’re playing on Consol? And also, do you recommend any cheap mouse and keyboard wireless for Xbox?
I’ve found some cool servers but there’s only like 4 in EU that ever have high player count on my series x! Just looking to have some mad adventures haha 😆 ive never even built a base and I’ve played for a year
I’ve been playing on strictly one official server, had a base on it for almost a year now, only been harassed by a handful of freshies, never been raided to this day so… yeah, if I stayed on the community server that I was playing on, which is now closed down and decided to build my base there, I would have lost everything and had to start on another server again.I’d honestly say official servers are the way to go, on a community server, you are relying on somebody else to keep an expensive server running… if they suddenly decide to close the server down, poof, your progress and your loot is gone. On official, they are permanent unless stated otherwise.
Official wipes more than some community. They also recently deleted a bunch including the one I was on haha. The risks are the same. And now with duping back it's pretty much impossible to keep a big base in a city.
@@RK-zh5vj Only build a base in cities (minus loot) if you want some war fun. I too think official is better and I'm a 4 year dayz player
Can someone teach me how to build a base? I got down the survival part just need help with base building and learning map
Any new player looking for a community server for PlayStation join The Collapse it’s pvp/pve and raids are only on weekends plus there is a trader
I have server recommendation videos for PS, you can post it in the comments there too.
Me myself I like finding empty servers bc I’m not one to take getting shot in the head lightly
Community servers can have wipes, official cant. So if anything, its much more likely to run into crazy guys on official
Officials wipe =]

I'm going to get it
NCRP CHERNARUS season 14 is where it’s at for Xbox! Best server I’ve been on in 4 years! Great community of hero’s villains and crazy rp characters we got factions solos base raiding everything! Admins get back to you at a reasonable time usually they’re on it with help or questions if you want an experience on Xbox consoles come over to NCRP!!!!!
Pretty sure I did a video with this in, I still play it =]
I’ll give you a shot homie🤙🏼
Dayzend on ps5 no better server plays like official with a few changes
What kind of changes?
@@tortuga9223 slightly boosted loot ie you’ll find ak and m4s but you’ll still have to look. Lars and vsds are Helis only. Traders at altar plus safe zone there. 2 settlements and like 8 or 9 factions at the min. Nights is half hour and loot is still basically like official only that you will more likely find decent guns in nwaf and tisy but you’ll still have to hunt for mags ammo etc. check it out man you need to join the discord to get whitelisted. Purge is at weekends so that’s when raiding can be done. Once a week they do a black market trader to sell weed for discord money and other things. And then there is weekly hard point events also
Great video! good info even for PC players.
Thank you! I also have a video specifically for PC players posted at the same time. It's mostly the same but talks a bit about modded servers and so on😁 but I'm glad you liked it
Literally only 1% of players play on official with any regularity but in my oppinion they are the best
Need friends to play with on ps4 😭
Bro think you so much, I just got the game for ps4 like a few days ago. And if I am not dying from Thirst I am dying from hunger. Official servers can be so hard on getting food and other 💩 just to have fun and play. lol I never new what community servers was for. I will try it out 2night. I just want to explore relax and Have fun
I'm glad it helped! Also just so you know I posted a video last week recommending specific community servers for PlayStation, so if you don't find one yourself it might help you out =]
@@AlwaysStreams thank you sir I will check it out
Countless sus deaths just got answered. Ghosted lol
Yeahhh, it's annoying. But make sure you read my pinned comment about ghosting. If they've been silent for a while, they're probably running to your location so you can use this to your advantage!
I’m kinda sick of building up bases then Having them wiped a few weeks later lol
Yeah, DayZ problems ha but if you get on a base-heavy server you can raid others and get most of your stuff back so I never mind being raided
Or there are some community servers with base damage turned off(and tents), so theoretically you can last larger. Just make sure no one can climb in from vehicles or boosting. Glitching is something we can't fight against really, but doubling walls can actually help with this a lot in my experience. They then get trapped between walls ha! You might know all this anyway, but just in case, maybe it helps
@@AlwaysStreams yeah I think I’ll have to look for a server like that instead of playing on the official ones, thanks for that advice Man 👍
Thanks for the video and I have a question is dayz cross playable like can ps4 play with Xbox and pc just wondering if you you know thanks again
@@joecarriere8897 There's no crossplay and as far as I know there never will be unfortunately.
Ok about the server resets I have noticed I'll be in a house or building I already looted than the reset happens when I log back in most of the time there will be loot again and most of the time it's not the same loot. I was on a server the other day needed a gun badly looted a house I logged out than back in and there was a pistol right there
i like the concept of the video. Giving new players pointers on servers. good shit. But I cant get behind the official slander. Official servers may be a little intimidating to a new player but great times can be had there. Some of my most memorable moments have happened on official servers. But community is great too.
I mean, I recommended it in the end😅 but generally speaking almost all the veteran players I speak with will stick to community servers. I don't know many who routinely use official. But I didn't say they were awful or anything =]
@@AlwaysStreams Fine I will say it…… official servers are absolute TRASH!!! I have spent hours recently trying to get back into the game after a break. The essential items do not spawn at a acceptable rate. I am playing with two friends and we can’t find lighters, matches, knives, stones, canned food, plastic bottles!?! If one person was able to succeed the other 2 failed and respawned at a different location. Extremely rough start…. and I played ark official servers for years.🤨
Dude 600 subs are u kidding me u should have 200x that
