Well... I apologize for a repost, but my other thread was closed, so I thought I'd repost, correct my mistake, and hope for the best so that I can continue to update this to help out mainly newer players, but maybe help out some casual players and even vets. Maybe not so much the vets, but hope you enjoy!

I see a lot of people asking for help or tips, so I thought I'd make this. If you don't like a tip, let me know! I might even alter my play style because of it Remember these are the rules I play by. If you want to bend a few, be my guest, after all, DayZ wouldn't be the same if we all played the same way! Here are my personal rules:


-Don't let people aim at you.
-Don't try to scream friendly to someone firing at you and don't ask if they are friendly. If they are friendly, they won't fire.
-Don't have 100% trust in anyone. Yes, anyone.
-Never let anyone know how many people you're playing with. If you're alone, don't let them know that.
-Don't store all of your ammo, morphine, bandages, etc. in one place. If one gets ruined, they all get ruined.
-If you neglect to follow the one above, you can split ruined or damaged ammo to make it pristine again. Keep on splitting until you seclude the one damaged one, drop it, then recombine the rest.
-Have your gun out whenever possible. You always want the jump on other players, or to be able to fire if fired upon, but sometimes you just have to run away from the Usain Bolt zeds.
-Don't fire at anything you can't hit.
-DO NOT PANIC! I can not stress this enough, if you panic, you WILL miss your shots.
-Don't get pissed when you lose your gear. Quickly get your gear back! (15 min despawn)
-Do not disconnect in high population areas such as mid-city.
-DO NOT disconnect when unconscious or. You will be dead when you log in.
-Make sure to zero your sights, you will miss if you don't accurately zero. [Page Up/Down]
-Go for the head if possible. Headshots don't ruin the gear, so you can loot it!
-Don't follow the above in gun fights if they're returning fire.
-Listen for shots. Memorize the sounds and guesstimate the distance.
-Don't rush m4's. If they have a rifle (excluding the SKS) RUSH! Run circles and hit them. Exploit their weakness.
-Don't be afraid for a last resort sprint to the forest!
-Watch your six.
-When watching your back, DON'T TURN AROUND. Use your number pad to turn your head.
-If you don't want to ruin someone's gear, try handcuffing them. You'll be able to access their gear and take it.
-If someone gets you with the previous one, get on your knees and hold W. You'll break out.
-You can trick someone by using disinfectant spray on food. It will poison them.
-If you're going for long range, try to stabilize yourself before firing. Things like crouching/prone, leaning, catching breath all work.
-Always be aware of where you are. It can help you find your way to new cities. Maps such as DayZDB or iZurvive can be really helpful as they have both English and Russian city names to help you find your way around.
-If you are a fresh spawn, don't be afraid to rush someone with a gun. One punch to the head can get them unconscious, exposing all of their gear for you to take. After all, you have nothing to lose if you die.
-You can't shoot through metal stairs in ATC Towers or firehouses, the same applies for any military-grade walls.
-If you have a mouse with extra bindable keys, it is a good idea to bind some keys to those. Here are some suggestions by TTG user "DedicatedNova"
CAPS LOCK for direct chat with other players.
ALT to look around quickly
Num. Pad Enter to switch from 1st to 3rd person (vice versa)
The last could either be V to jump, or TAB for inventory or something. Maybe even a number to quickly switch to an axe or something.
-If you have spare backpack slots, you can put your melee weapon in your backpack to conceal yourself better and seem more friendly. The same goes with handguns with chest holsters.
-Take yellow protector cases and ammo boxes whenever possible. Ammo boxes hold up to 10 ammo stacks, whereas yellow protector cases hold up to 6 of any type of item. Both only take 4 inventory slots, so it's in your interest to get them. However if you have too many, it can cause a fair amount of desync due to loading all of your items in.
-Long ranged scopes (when damaged) seem to be offset to the left. To correct this, you can shoot slightly to the right of your target.
-Lowering your FOV will reduce your peripheral vision, but will cause you to be much closer to your sights, allowing you to take distant shots easier.
-Water purification tablets and blood bags are virtually useless. You can use blood bags in some instances, but for the time, you should use your extra medkit slots on bandages, IV start kits, saline bags, morphine, epi-pens, alcohol tincture, charcoal tabs, antibiotics and painkillers.
-When prone, rolling will have no noise whatsoever. If you do it too much, however, your character will begin to breath heavily. Give it a moment to regenerate your stamina, then you can be silent once again.
-Most people consider people wearing items on their face (masks, gasmasks, respirator, etc.) to look like bandits. Wearing these will almost always get you KOS'd.
-Ballistic helmets can save you from 1 bullet to the head. Rather than being insta-killed, you will instead be unconscious. Make sure you have a buddy nearby with a defib or epipen.
-Bayonets are completely useless at the moment. You can put them on your gun and use them as a free space can opener as you can open cans with it without taking it off of your weapon.
-Opening your bipod when not in prone will decrease your accuracy.
-Keep your ammo and clips at the top of your inventory for quick reloading and clip filling.
-Don't eat when your character says "stuffed" or your character will throw up, causing you to lose your healthy, hydrated, energized, and stuffed icons, due to your stomach being emptied out.

Want a suppressor? Here are the pros and cons:
PROS: no muzzle flash, reduces distance of shot being heard.
CONS: less accurate, more bullet drop, less damage.


All of this is from past mistakes and experiences. As you play, I'm sure you'll come up with rules of your own, so feel free to share them below or tell me some rules you think otherwise of.

After this, I guess that's the end of my tips. Here's my temporary website, it's about 90% leeched, but I made it for me and my friends. It's not supposed to look fancy, just a quick reference. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
