Games with permadeath — wherein you start over completely when you die — provide certain stakes to a gaming session. Rather than reloading your last save after you die, you lose all your gear, you lose all your progress, and you essentially lose all the time you’ve spent playing up to that point. For a while now (a couple years, to be honest) I’ve been thinking about a way to up those stakes, to go a step beyond perma-death: perma-permadeath, where dying means you don’t just lose your stuff, you lose the game itself. Forever. Survival Week on RPS seems like an apt time to finally give it a try.

So, today I’ll play DayZ, and if I die, I won’t simply start over. I’ll stop playing DayZ, and I won’t play it again. For the rest of my life. For real.

Granted, this still may not sound like whole lot in the way of stakes. There are and will be tons of other games to play, and it’s not like I’m going to chuck out my entire computer and start, like, reading books or something. Still, I love DayZ. It’s my favorite game of the past few years, and according to Steam, I’ve sunk 250 hours into it. What’s more, as a games writer, if someone were to contact me (as Graham did) about writing a paid piece on DayZ, not only will I be losing out on that pay, I’ll have to explain that I can’t play it because I promised the Internet I wouldn’t, which makes me sound like a fucking idiot. So, there are financial stakes, as well as whatever you call stakes that make you look like a complete moron. Mostly, though, if I die in today’s session, I’ll be losing a game I truly enjoy, forever, and that feels pretty heavy.

I came up with a couple ground rules to make sure I don’t just squat safely in the woods eating berries for the day and then declare myself a winner. The servers I play on need to be at least half-full so there are other players around. I’ll also make myself visit two big cities, one in the north and one in the south, forcing me to cover a good bit of ground and enter areas in which zombies and players are likely. Once I’ve visited those two cities, which will take at least a few hours, I can call it quits and start playing normally again.

I take a deep breath, wonder why I’m doing this, and then spawn in as a freshie on a server with 21 people on it. I quickly get my bearings: over my shoulder, I spot an island with a lighthouse on it. That’s Drakon, which means I’m in the south, close to Electro. Good news! I’m on the outskirts of my first big city without having taken a step. I perform the perfunctory DayZ bambi business by stuffing my shirt into my pants and tearing it into rags, then hustle toward Electro.

The first few buildings I loot provide me with gloves and a red children’s backpack. There’s also a water pump nearby, and I start filling my belly, spinning the third-person camera around to watch my own back as I drink. I immediately spot a creeper zombie fast approaching, perfectly framed by the pump. Naturally, I can’t cancel the drinking animation, because this game is still so damn incomplete, so I’m forced to sit there, serenely sipping water and watching as my potential ever-death closes in.

I recite some calming words aloud as I watch, something like “Stop drinking stop drinking STOP DRINKING COME ON STOP DRINKING YOU FUCK,” but to no avail: the creeper, and a second upright zombie who’s joined him, are pummeling the blood out of me by the time I can straighten up and flee. I manage to lose them and bandage myself in the bushes. Cripes. I run along the beach to the other side of Electro, somehow becoming soaked in the process despite never stepping in water. Ah, early-access.

After calming down — I was legitimately sweating — I continue. I find a black cap, a tin of tuna, and a can of peaches, the last of which needs a sharp tool to open it. A pajama zombie chases me from a house I’m looting, though I find a machete in a shed so I can return and hack him to un-death. I open my food and take a long interrupted drink from another pump. I’m now energized and hydrated. All things considered, not a terrible start.

While checking out a few more buildings, I run into a shed and find myself face to face with another player. I’m so utterly shocked and terrified I don’t even remember to take a screenshot, but this is what he looks like to my wide, panicked eyes:

In truth, he’s just wearing a boonie hat and blue checkered shirt, his hands balled into fists but not holding a weapon. Another freshie. “Hey there,” I say above the sound of my pounding heart. He says something back, probably “Hello” or “Hey” but possibly “I am going to murder you so you can never play DayZ again!” In my freaked-out state, I can’t be sure. Two zombies lurch into the building, and we both run out and head in different directions. I decide to consider my visit to Electro complete, and dash north into the woods. I’m sweating, my heart is still pounding, and I’m whirling my camera around me so fast I’m getting sick. I’m halfway up the hill when the server restarts, giving me a moment to sit back in my chair and exhale. This is genuinely nerve-wracking.

I join a new server, a chilly one. Being cold is a gameplay feature now, though I’m not entirely sure what the negative effects are. I head up the road, aiming toward the small town of Pusta, alone except for the words “I am promptly cooling off, I am rapidly cooling off,” repeating endlessly in the corner of my screen. Hey, it’s better than having to suffer through global chat.

I force myself to slow down a bit. Rushing is my natural instinct in DayZ, and now it’s doubled: the sooner I get to the northern city of Novo the sooner I can stop playing with this stupid, terrifying perma-permadeath rule I’m forcing on myself. But running headlong isn’t a good survival tactic. I slow down, examine my surroundings, and carefully check the road ahead. I stop to search a row of trees for apples, finding only two rotten ones. I spend some time watching an elk, appreciating its gentle beauty. Of course, if I had gun I would kill it and if I had matches I would cook and eat it, but I don’t have those things. So, I appreciate its gentle beauty.

I soon reach Pusta, where a few buildings offer up a hoodie, a cowboy hat, a nearly full canteen, a bag of rice, a can of spaghetti, an orange, and a can of soda. I’m doing very well on the nourishment front: I could probably make it all the way north without having to eat again. As I’m looting I start noticing major server lag: doors are opening a few seconds after I poke them, or not opening at all. I can’t move things around in my inventory, and I’m also rubber-banding: being teleported back inside buildings moments after I’ve left them.

It’s foolish, then, that I choose to engage a charging zombie. I swing repeatedly at his face, hitting absolutely nothing — lag again — and at one point my character switches from holding his machete to holding his canteen. I don’t even know what the hell kind of glitch that is. Naturally, the zombie is unaffected by the shitty server and he peppers me with blows. Bleeding again, and my new hoodie completely ruined, I use my last rag to patch myself up. It appears I’m not the only one annoyed by the lag: the server list has quickly dropped to nine players, so I ditch.

On a new server with about twenty players, I make my way to Mogilevka, a mid-sized town. I don’t want to enter it: with no rags to use as bandages, zombies are a danger. The game tells me I’m so cold I’m shaking, and dark clouds have formed overhead. I’m worried about being soaked by rain and getting hypothermia. I raid the outlying buildings, finding a proper backpack to replace my small one and a bandana to tear into rags. I find a quiet spot to eat and drink what I’ve collected, then run out of town when a zombie finally spots me.

Eating my rice has left me parched so I stop halfway to Vyshnoye to use a water pump next to a couple of buildings, which is guarded by a single zombie. I cut him to the ground, but he lurches back up and swipes at me. I connect with his head again as he claws at me, and I hear my character cry out. Great, my arm is broken, and I’m bleeding. Well, I cut some branches earlier, so I can use one rag to craft a splint and use the other to…

No. No. Somehow, the punch that broke my arm also ruined the rags I had in my pants. Not only is that utter bullshit, but it’s compounded by my own rookie blunder: I didn’t separate my rags into different spots in my inventory, which might have at least saved one rag so I could stop my bleeding. My hoodie is ruined and can’t be turned into rags, either. I quickly search the two buildings near the pump, my panic rising. Nothing. Shit. Shit. I’m in the middle of nowhere and I have no bandages. I’m going to bleed to death. I’m going to fucking bleed to death.

Mogilevka. It’s my only chance. Vyshnoye is probably a hair closer but I think it’s uphill from here, so I’ve got to reach Mogilevka before I bleed out. Squirting blood as my screen begins to lose color, I sprint back down the hill, my heart in my throat. This can’t be the end. I’ll find something. I peel off my pants (a neat trick while sprinting) to see if, maybe-maybe-maybe they patched the game so you can turn pants into rags. No luck. In my underwear and backpack, my heart in my throat, I run. Mogilevka is growing closer. My screen is going white. I run.

I reach the town. I burst into one building, getting hung up on the swinging door for what feels like an eternity. I desperately scour the rooms. Food, everywhere, but no clothing. I run back outside and make for the large building at the end of the street. A bandana, a shirt, a first-aid kit, anything, anything, anything, don’t let it end like this, punched in the arm by a stupid fucking zombie. I sprint down the street, race up the front steps, throw open the door, run into the hall, turn left into the room, frantically scanning for

Many, many feelings. First and foremost, crippling embarrassment. How could I have forgotten to separate my rags? Why even bother with that pump when I wasn’t dying of thirst? How could I let a zombie, of all things, kill me? Granted, it’s preferable to being shot in the face as some squeaky-voiced kid shouts racial slurs, but it’s such a lame way to go. Somehow, despite playing with additional stakes, I wasn’t being additionally careful. Fuck.

Second? Seriously, fuck.

My third reaction you can probably guess: “Okay. Let’s just pretend this didn’t happen. They just wanted a column about DayZ. It doesn’t have to be this one. Write something else. No one needs to know. No one needs to know!”

Thing is, I’ve never been as tense and nervous playing a game in my life as I was in those last few minutes, and despite losing a great game from my life, I think it’s worth documenting that. The rising panic as I realized I was in real trouble, the pulse-pounding run back to town, the dreadful knowledge that my last few seconds were ticking away, the frantic search for something to save my life knowing I’d never, ever have another one. I’ve never felt anything like it in a game before. Action games, horror games, competitive multiplayer games… nothing has ever come close. This was about as real as it’s ever gotten. It was terrible. It was fun. And, of course, I genuinely lost something.

There’s one remaining problem. How can someone reading this know, really know, that I’m never going to play DayZ again? Unfortunately, you can’t. There’s no real way to prove that I’m serious, that I’m being genuine, that I’m simply not going to play the game again, so I’ll just have to tell you this and hope you believe me: I won’t. Not ever. That was the deal. That was the experiment. That was my last game of DayZ. That was it.

Here are a bunch of DayZ Standalone hints, tips and tricks to help you get started and survive.

- General Tips -

• Stop bleeding - Look for shirts as they can be torn into rags that stop bleeding. Right click a shirt and click 'tear into rags' to do it. Rags can stack up to 6 in your inventory, so combine them by hovering them over other rags to save space.

  (Note: To get rid of the groaning noises your character makes after bandaging a wound, you need to re-join the server.)

• Using your flashlight - When you first spawn, you get a flashlight (torch) and a battery. Go into your inventory (TAB) and drag the battery over the flashlight, then click combine. Now you can drag the flashlight onto your hotbar, and use it by pressing SPACE BAR to take it out, and then hitting F twice to turn it on.

  Beware that flashlights are currently very easy to spot (they can be seen through buildings) so use them with caution, and only when you have to. Running around with a flashlight on all the time is asking for someone to shoot you on sight.

• Raising and lowering your weapon - As noted in the previous tip, use the SPACE BAR to raise and lower whatever is in your hands. When running around with a weapon, lowering it allows you to run faster, but still have it where if you saw another player, you could raise it quickly.

  Running around with a raised weapon is also a good way to get instantly killed on site, so consider keeping it lowered to not seem as threatening. Also, if you switch your weapon/item while it's raised, you will stop running. If you do it while the weapon/item is lowered, you will keep running.

• Vaulting - Press V to vault over and climb over obstacles.
• Zooming in - Hold down right click to zoom in and get a better view of your surroundings. With a long range scope, you can also zoom further in by holding right click after you zoom in with the scope.
• Looking around - Hold ALT to look around without changing direction while running. You should be using this constantly to scan your surroundings, as someone could be hiding around every corner.
• Zeroing in and out - With some of the weapons, you have the ability to zero in or out your weapon for more accuracy at range. For example on the M4 the default number is 200 as indicated on the top right of your UI.

  This range is good for close - medium range combat. You can change zeroing by hitting the PG UP and PG DOWN keys on your keyboard.

• Looting faster - You can loot a lot faster than dragging each item into your inventory by double clicking items.
• Already looted - If the doors are open on a building, it means it has already been looted.
• Looting at the start - When you first spawn, it is best to move inland to start looting. Many bandits and other players are in the starting towns, making loot very hard to come by. Following a road inland, and finding a town to loot may be the better option.
• Hard to see loot - Unlike the DayZ mod, many times loot in this game is harder to see. (Especially ammo.) Make sure you check carefully when looting. Some loot can also spawn under beds or shelves and on top as well.
• Hunger and thirst - Keep in mind that you can drink something to restore some hunger, and eat something to restore some thirst if you can't find one or the other. Obviously the effect is diminished, but if you're hungry, and have nothing but soda, drinking the soda will reduce some of your hunger.
• Food source in the wild - If you can't find any food, take note that a recent update added berries that you can pick from bushes around Chernarus. Look for medium sized bushes and crouch near them (to get some cover) then hit F to search for berries. You can search multiple times. You can also search apple trees for apples.
• Ammo management - You don't need to carry a bunch of clips and clog your inventory. One or two clips should be enough, and when you find other clips, drag them into your inventory, and then right click them to empty the ammo out, and throw away the empty mag.

  Once you find an ammo box, you can store the ammo there, and load ammo straight into your magazine by detaching the mag into your inventory, and dragging the ammo over it. This way you save a lot of space. Also, to create bigger ammo stacks, find a 60 clip, load your ammo into it, then empty it. You should have a stack of 60 bullets in your inventory.

• Ammo boxes, protector cases, and Medicine boxes - Ammo boxes, medicine boxes and protector cases let you carry more loot. When you want to use one, first click the X in your inventory to put away whatever is in your hands, and drag the box into your hands.

  The contents of the box will be shown at the bottom. Be careful not to drag the box into 'vicinity' as you can easily lose the box if the server restarts at the same time. (Servers currently restart without warning.)

• Map of Chernarus - Exploring without a map will get you lost quickly in this game. To open a map, hit shift + tab and look for the 'DayZ Essentials Map' in the guides section on the steam overlay. You can also check out the map here.
• Improving frame rate - Go to Documents > DayZ and open DayZ.cfg in Notepad. Then change GPU_MaxFramesAhead and GPU_DetectedFramesAhead to = 1. Disabling ambient occlusion, and lowering object detail is also great for increasing your framerate. Scene complexity can also be huge in improving your framerate.

  In order to change this, go to Documents > DayZ > Your computers Profile Name, and then open the first file (your profile name) in notepad. Look for sceneComplexity, and change it to around 100000 - 150000 for a big FPS boost. (Mine is currently set at sceneComplexity=130000)

  Note that this setting may change in future updates.

• Alt+tab warning - Don't alt tab with a weapon in your hand, when you alt tab back, your weapon will fire by itself giving away your position.


• Don't get tricked - Currently, finding a gun in DayZ is easier than finding ammo. So some people may use these guns to try to hold you up, without any ammo. Thankfully, you can tell if a persons weapon has a clip or not. Here is a pistol with a magazine, and here is one without.
• Handcuffing - You can handcuff someone by putting the handcuffs into your hands, walking up behind them, and pressing F.
• Stealth - This may be obvious, but it should be mentioned, when running around, avoid running on roads and out in the open, prevent exposing yourself by sticking to tree lines, and hugging walls when exploring.

  Also, when arriving at a town to explore, before you move in, scout out the town from the outskirts to see if anyone else is looting that town. Most of the time, getting the jump on someone in DayZ is the most important tool for survival.

• Killing zombies - Zombies can be deadly in DayZ. Always aim for the head when trying to kill one, as even using just your fists, a few good hints to the head can take a zombie down. You can tell whether a zombie is dead by looking at how it fell on the ground.

  Face down means it's still alive, and face up means it's dead. The best weapon for killing zombies is currently the Fire axe, it kills them in one hit, no headshot needed. Note that this is different from the regular axe.

• Escaping zombies - If you catch aggro from zombies, it may be tough to escape them as in recent updates they run pretty fast and can catch up to you instantly if you slow down. A good way to lose zombies is to run through buildings. Inside buildings, zombies can only walk, so it's a great way to lose them.
• Axe combat tip - If you are having trouble swinging your axe, it may be in the wrong position. Press spacebar once to change the stance and then try swinging. (When your character is holding the axe on their left, instead of up high, that is the correct position. The other position makes it so you are blocking.)


Thirst - Look for water pumps in each city or town if your character is thirsty. You can spam F to drink until the character status indicates that you are full.
Be careful not to drink too much, as it will cause you to vomit and possibly become sick. You can also fill up water bottles or canteens at a water pump by dragging it into your hands and then using mouse scroll to scroll to 'Fill Bottle' next to the water pump.
Food makes you thirsty - Keep in mind that eating some foods like rice will dehydrate you. So it's best to eat before you drink.
Rotten food - Be careful not to consume any rotten food, as it will instantly make you sick. If you do get sick you will start to vomit. Try to drink some water after, and lay down a bit (by pressing Z) to recover. You may pass out, and die.
Low blood - When you are low on blood, you can tell by looking at the colors on your screen. If they are washed out and grey, you need blood. When your screen is vibrant and colorful, that means you are full on blood.
Sprinting - When you constantly sprint, you get dehydrated and hungry faster.
Healthy status - When your character gets enough food and drink, the inventory status will indicate that you are 'healthy'. This means you are regenerating health and blood.
A good way to do this is to eat a bunch of food, then drink a bunch at a water pump until your character is full. (You will see a message like 'I feel completely full' on the bottom left of your screen.)
Headache - If your character is complaining that their head hurts, drink some water or take some painkillers.
Opening cans of food - Some food requires a can opener, but you can also use knives, axes, and other tools to open the food. Although using a can opener is best because you don't lose any food.
Broken Leg Splint - Rags / Bandages can also be used to make a splint that will heal a broken leg. You will need some sticks (not wood) and 3 rags to create a splint.
Respawning - If you want to kill your character and restart for any reason, the best way is to climb up to a large hill, or building and jump off.



Status	Cure
Bleeding	Bandages, rags
Low blood	Blood Bags, Saline Bag
Broken leg	Morphine, Sticks + Rags/Bandages
Unconsciousness	Epi-Pen, Saline Bag

Infected wound	Alcohol tincture, antibiotics

Blood transfusions - When giving a blood transfusion, the blood must be compatible, check this table for reference.
Medical database - For more information about medical procedures in DayZ, check out this database.


Navigating at night - You can use the star constellations to find north at night. Two stars from the Big Dipper point straight at the North Star.
Navigating during the day - The wind always moves east, so look for the movement of the clouds.
Use road signs - Every town and city has a road sign at the entrance, so look for the signs then go to the map and look for the location to find where you are.
Compass tip - Instead of taking out the compass, switching to first person, and then raising it, you can just right click the compass in your inventory and inspect it.
