What to do in the game dayz. Character statuses in DayZ Standalone. Food and chemical poisoning

For many years, game development was dominated by the idea that a game must be “polished to a shine” to be successful. Practice has repeatedly proven that perfectly “polished” but essentially dead games quickly lose popularity and fade into oblivion.

And the players themselves did not particularly welcome such projects, which resembled beautiful lacquer figurines, motionless and boring in their splendor. The popularity of MODs for the game “Stalker”, Fallout and other projects became a loud signal for game developers. The gaming community strongly demanded that users be able to be not only dispassionate extras, but also active participants in the development of the game.

The result was the DayZ project. In fact, it is a “semi-finished product”. The game is constantly under development, and a gigantic community of users are beta testers. It's no surprise that this giant game world is constantly evolving and changing.

By the way, how to play DayZ? The thing is that the game is unique because you need a partner to survive in it. The world around her is constantly changing and lives according to its own laws, and therefore you should know about some rules of behavior in it.

Find a partner!

It was not by chance that we talked about the need for a partner. Be sure to find another player, and to communicate with him you definitely need Skype or another messenger, since without communication in the real world it will be difficult for you to agree on your plans in the game. Install before playing DayZ, Steam. You can also keep in touch through him.

Why do you need a partner? First of all, the two of you will be able to carry more supplies. So any trip for “swag” promises two or even three times more profit than if you went alone.

Plus, a reliable partner will have your back. Therefore, the likelihood of a surprise attack will be much lower. As for zombies, it will be much easier with them. It's much easier to fight off an aggressive crowd of evil spirits together. In a word, we definitely do not advise you to walk alone in Chernarus.

Conclusion: before playing DayZ, visit the game forums or immediately cooperate with friends in the real world. This will not only be easier, but also much more interesting.

Equipment comes first!

If you don’t have more or less serious equipment, don’t even think about going to big cities! There are a lot of zombies there, so it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to get around them. If you have equipment and weapons, you will be able to fight back and escape.

But your main enemies in large depopulated cities will not be zombies, but other survivors (players). Especially those of them who were lucky enough to get hold of sniper rifles. Don’t believe the lofty tales in the general chat: despite the benevolent tone, many of them are not averse to putting a bullet in your back and then taking all your things. And it’s more convenient to engage in looting in big cities, where there are many secluded nooks. Who can prove what then?

However, provided you have a normal weapon and a partner, it is unlikely that anyone will attack you. It costs more to go against an armed group. But if you are alone, and you have some high-quality gear, a sniper will probably shoot you. Just one shot and you will lose everything. Since DayZ is quite difficult to play, this will be quite disappointing.

By the way, recently you can even restore your clothes in the game! Buy a sewing kit to help you with this. Drag it onto the damaged item of clothing, then select the appropriate action from the drop-down menu.

We are looking for the “right” guns!

If you read carefully, you already realized that you cannot survive without weapons. An ax will do first, but you should find something more serious as quickly as possible. Axes, hammers and even screwdrivers can be considered relatively effective melee weapons. You can find all this in residential buildings and fire stations.

It must be said that firearms are the most effective. There is a lot of it in the game, for all tastes and preferences. Pistols are most often found in schools, but sometimes the Abode of Knowledge may reward you or even an M4A1. Be sure to check the roofs!

It is best to search military bases, where you can find almost all types of weapons, as well as barracks, since that is where the most loot can be found. There is a base near the village of Pavlovo, and also near Kamenka. In addition, there is a "Western Military Base". Be sure to check out the base between Vybor and Kabanino. Also check out the airfields near Bolot, Krasnostav and Grishino. And also all the buildings near airfields, in which you can sometimes find a lot of useful things.

Among other things, it can be useful to search around train stations: you can rarely find weapons there, but there are bulletproof vests there.

Take care of your weapon!

Theoretically, weapons in the game wear out due to intense use. How can you play DayZ if you don't have a working gun? You definitely won't last long!

DayZ currently has a great cleaning kit, the Weapon Cleaning Kit. He can restore any gun up to Worn condition. However, if it is repeatedly destroyed (Ruined), then nothing will work with the set. It can be used several times at once, so you only need to buy it once to travel around the game world for a couple of weeks.

Weapon camouflage

With a relatively recent patch in DayZ Standalone, a very useful feature has appeared. To do this, you need spray paint cans, from a mixture of which you can get a camouflage color. To perform this action, you need to take the can from your inventory and then drag it onto the rifle. To get a camouflage color, you need to do this several times.

Important! If you paint a Mosin rifle, it cannot be loaded with more than one round. The developers vow to fix the bug as soon as possible.

Medicines are “our everything”

Don't miss the chance to get as many first aid kits and medicines as possible, even if it's just simple bandages. Believe me, after an encounter with walking corpses or bandits, you will almost always need medical attention. If you have nothing to stop the bleeding, then your character will definitely die.

It is very disappointing to get health problems due to some kind of game glitch. If you don’t have a painkiller, it’s easier to immediately kill your character than to try to crawl to the nearest hospital, twenty kilometers away. If you have morphine and stimulants, you will probably be able to get there.

Stuck on textures?

Remember what we talked about at the very beginning of the article? Yes, the game often reminds us that development is far from finished. Since most of our users prefer to play the DayZ pirate game, problems are even more common.

For example, you can often simply get stuck right in the textures of houses. Moreover, you can stay there until the character’s death. We can give you some useful tips that can often help you avoid such an unpleasant outcome.

Let's list them:

• use running jumps;
• you can simply run, running against the wall of the house closest to you;
• sometimes crawling with rolls helps;
• Log out of the game server and log in again.

By the way, how to play DayZ through pirated servers? You will find their addresses on the Internet, but we do not recommend using them. The game is already not very stable, and even more so in this case.

Simply put, try to move around inside the house as actively as possible, after which you will certainly be able to get out of the unfortunate textures! Before you start playing DayZ, also learn the control keys in order to perform all these actions faster.

Save space in your backpack

If you've been playing for a long time, you've probably run out of space in your backpack. We will not deal with the cause of this strange phenomenon, but rather discuss the principles of proper arrangement of things. As a rule, cartridges take up a lot of space. We strongly recommend purchasing ammo boxes in advance. If you store them there, they will take up much less space than simply carrying them in a backpack.

Before playing DayZ Standalone, it is better to immediately think about your equipment - you will save a lot of space.

If you've stuffed your backpack with too much stuff and you can no longer fit anything extra, use yellow boxes, which will allow you to increase the space in your bag by several cells. Such boxes can be found in significant quantities at fire stations. They can be used to pack not only food, but also other necessary items.

What better way to spend your time than playing DayZ? MOD is the best solution! If you are tired of the standard game, try installing some interesting modification.

And once again about medications. It is best to store them in a first aid kit. This approach will also help to slightly increase the number of slots in the backpack. We are looking for first aid kits in residential buildings (in the bathroom), as well as in hospitals and gas stations.

Are there other ways to increase the amount of free space? To store the necessary things, you can use not only a backpack, but also all the pockets of your clothes. When choosing it, it is advisable to buy only the most spacious models (vests, for example), which have the maximum number of pockets.

Here's how to play DayZ Standalone!

With translation of all possible statuses into Russian and indication of maximum values ​​for these statuses. Now we have taken on the character’s Health and Diseases, here we will also try to analyze everything in as much detail as possible. You will learn how to treat diseases and keep your character in fighting order. In this guide, even the most experienced players will be able to find something new for themselves...

Health Status (Healthy)

One of the character statuses in DayZ Standalone. It reflects the overall physical well-being of the player. The character appears in excellent health with full health (5000 units).

This figure decreases when getting into troubles such as gunshot wounds, bites (still in the process of implementation), blows, hunger, dehydration, overheating, illness, etc.

It is worth paying attention to statistics and character statuses, and maintaining health at a high level. After losing units of health, the character’s vision deteriorates, objects begin to blur, and the stronger, the more health is lost (it is recommended to enable the Post Processing option in the graphics settings, since when it is turned off, this important indicator of the character’s state disappears).

Losing all health results in death. Restoring health is only possible through the process of Natural Regeneration, which is triggered under certain conditions: the character must be full of energy (light green "ENERGIZED" indicator), water (from green to light green "HYDRATED" indicator) and have a full blood level. If these conditions are met, the “HEALING” indicator appears in the inventory. Once regeneration is complete and you reach full health, this indicator will change to “HEALTHY”. This point is very important, since in a state of full health the character can endure more damage.

Bleeding does not reduce health units. It is also possible to have a full amount of blood and low health.

Stomach is another character status in DayZ Standalone, closely related to Health.

Has 3 values: Water, Energy and Capacity.

We have already discussed Water and Energy, do not forget that in order to maintain health it is very important to constantly maintain these indicators at the highest level, otherwise the character will not only suffer from hunger and thirst (which in itself can lead to death), but will also be more vulnerable.

The stomach capacity is 1000 units. If it is overfilled, vomiting will begin (resulting in dehydration and hunger).

Character Diseases in DayZ Standalone

In DayZ Standalone, you can suffer from several diseases at once. Fortunately, many of the diseases go away on their own if certain conditions are met.

Important: Some of the symptoms of different diseases overlap, so be careful when using different types of treatment.

Below are all possible diseases.

Binge eating

• Causes: Eating too much food and/or water
• Symptoms: Vomiting
• Treatment: Active movement/running helps with mild overeating. You also need to stop drinking/eating until the “STUFFED” status disappears.

Stage/Status	Time interval	Effect	Symptoms
	Unknown	3500 - 2500	“My stomach feels stuffed” - My stomach is full, “I feel over-fed” - I feel fattened
	Unknown	4000 - 3500	My stomach feels much more full than normal” - My stomach feels fuller than usual “My stomach feels absolutely stuffed” - My stomach is completely filled “I am close to vomiting” - I am close to vomiting
	Unknown	More than 4000	“I think I’m going to vomit” - I think I’m going to vomit, “I’m going to vomit” - I’m starting to vomit

Food and chemical poisoning

The player becomes ill after consuming life-threatening foods/chemicals. The disease occurs in several stages. If you follow some rules, the disease will go away on its own, of course, only after the player fully experiences all the delights of the disease in Chernarus. The main rule in this case is to replenish energy and water losses with food and drink.

Mild food poisoning

• Causes: Eating Burnt Meat (% probability unknown), Rotten Fruit (50%) or Alcoholic Tincture (75%).
• Symptoms: Strange taste in the mouth, nausea.
• Treatment: Activated Carbon tablets, taken at any time, will alleviate the disease. During recovery, the "SICK" status will remain for several minutes, but the effects of the disease on the character will cease to have effect. You can also drink water. It's less effective, but slightly more effective than eating food. If symptoms of blood loss appear (gray screen), then it is worth using Saline Solution. If water and energy levels are high, then this disease passes easily.

Average food poisoning

• Causes: Eating Burnt Meat (% probability unknown), Rotten Fruit (5%), poisonous Berries or Alcoholic Tincture (20%).
• Symptoms: The same as for Mild food poisoning, with the addition of vomiting.
• Treatment: Same as for Mild Food Poisoning, but also requires more water and food to recover, and the chance of needing Saline increases.

Severe food poisoning

• Causes: Eating Rotten Meat.
• Symptoms: The same as for Moderate food poisoning, with the addition of vomiting and colic.
• Treatment: Tetracycline.

Chemical poisoning

• Causes: Consumption of Disinfectant (100%) and poisoned food.
• Symptoms: Same as for Severe food poisoning, very frequent vomiting.
• Treatment: There is no proven treatment. The character does not recover, but death can be avoided. The condition can be alleviated by constantly replenishing the character's water level and energy. If blood loss is inevitable in this case, apply Physical Solution. Attention: this is a serious disease with a high risk of character death; it is very difficult to recover without the help of other players. There is a high risk of loss of consciousness; the use of saline solution is necessary very often. The character's water level should remain high (HYDRATED), but the stomach should not be full. Inducing vomiting will NOT help cure chemical poisoning.

Infection (not implemented in patch 0.59)

A character becomes infected with an infectious disease after being bitten or scratched by a zombie. If a bite or scratch is not treated in a timely manner, the infected wound will go through 4 stages, each of which is more severe than the previous one. There is a chance to recover from the infection without the use of medications, but it is not great. At the same time, during this illness the chance of dying from dehydration is very high.

• Symptoms: The wound is itchy (Initial stage), The wound is infected (Advanced stage), Weakness (Severe stage) and Dehydration.
• Treatment: At the initial stage - Cleansing wounds with Alcohol Tincture. At any stage - Tetracycline.

There are also plans to transmit infection as a result of using unsterile/non-disinfected dressings (bandages or patches) or drinking contaminated water and loot.

Hemolytic Reaction

The body's reaction to transfusion of an incompatible blood type. Very dangerous and fatal in 100% of cases. The character loses consciousness and death occurs. Check blood type compatibility before transfusion. A safer option for replenishing blood that has no side effects is Saline.

Each character appears with a specific blood type, which is obtained randomly and does not change until the character dies. To transfer blood from one character to another, you need to make sure they are compatible. To do this, use a Blood Testing Kit to determine the blood types of both the donor and recipient.

Prion Brain Disease (Kuru)

May occur after eating human meat. It is not fatal, but the result of the disease is hysterical laughter/crying every few minutes, which can give away both the player’s location and the very fact of cannibalism. Another unpleasant “bonus” is sudden convulsions, during which it is very difficult to aim.

Incurable. Does not have status indicators. The “SICK” status when consuming human meat means that food poisoning has been added to Kur. Have fun, cannibal!

Cholera - Under development

Occurs when drinking untreated water.

After the character is born, immediately run away from the spawn point. These are very dangerous places for those who managed to survive and find weapons for themselves and just want to have some fun. Spawn points and villages near the sea are the most frequently killed places, a counter-strike zone, so to speak, although you have nothing and you are a cap)).
If you managed to survive and escaped from the spawn point, then you should follow the red arrows that are in the picture or a similar path. There is a simple logic here - you need to reach more or less calm and not particularly crowded points in the middle of the map. You should not go into places marked with yellow circles, unless of course you want to be killed by some bushwhacker.

Did you all make it to Tulga? The first thing you need to do is find a blue column and get drunk by quickly pressing the button on it F no less than 20 times, the status should appear hydrated, this means that the character is drunk and thirst will not bother him. If you were able to find a can of water along the way, then it is better to leave it until a better time; in the future, your character will still want to drink and in order not to die, you will drink it. A flask or bottle would be very useful, you can fill them and carry them with you, you can fill them in the rain, pumps or lakes.

Finding food is much more difficult. If you see lying kiwis, bananas, tomatoes, zucchini that were abandoned by ill-wishers. They satisfy hunger for a short time, but in a good case, getting infected with some kind of gastrointestinal disease or dying is the easiest thing. Canned or tuna is a priority. If you find canned food, it’s too early to rejoice; you still need to open it with something. For canned food, an ax, a can opener, an ax, a bayonet, in a word, a sharp object, are suitable.

The backpack should contain the most necessary items for survival, a minimum of food. All things that you can carry must be placed in your backpack and clothing pockets. To begin with, we select clothes for the largest number of slots, and a little later we will select them according to color.

Where can I get weapons?

If you are still alive and are somewhere in the middle of Chernarus, then you should have both food and water, and new clothes. In this style of game you can play for a very long time, for example, loot the surroundings of the Old and New Cathedral, for example once a day. Especially when you have an ax in your hands to kill the zombies that are chasing you. This option was the most optimal for reality, but we are in the game DayZ Standalone, so we’ll take a little risk and go in search of weapons. Shooting zombies from a distance is much more enjoyable and safer than shooting with an axe.

Typically, weapons spawn at airfields and military bases (military). Such bases and airfields are always in someone’s sights, either evil bandits, or a fellow survivalist, it doesn’t matter. So, entry and exit to the base should be very fast. They entered, took weapons and left at the speed of sound. Delay for a long time can affect your health, it is a good case or death. Everyone lacks ammo, everyone has guns, everyone is afraid of losing their lives.

And so, you are practically a top looter, with a top gun and a backpack full of food and drinks. This is where the game of survival begins. In the game DayZ Standalone, no one will give you any tasks - you need to complete this, and then this, and then this. In this game, whatever you want, that is, anything, you can go back to the shore to help the poor caps, save them from suffering in this cruel world, if you don’t do that, then you can sit and catch all sorts of snipers on caps or other bushwhackers , you can go all over the map, you can also return to military bases or airfields to get a dose of adrenaline, and put on military clothes.

What should be the tactics?

What should we do - this is already clear) How to do it? Who is guilty?

First, you need to print out the map of Chernarusia so as not to jump through windows and look online.

To stop the bleeding, you need bandages or rags, well, we don’t have the first, then all that remains is to take off the very first shirt and tear it into rags.

If you run into a village, then draw a route in your head in advance, which way you will run away. Let me give you a small example: when you were looting Tulga, a zombie accosted you. The surest option is to run away in the direction of Msta, this is on our way, and the zombie will very soon lag behind you.

It is best to loot very large buildings. As a rule, there is very little or no loot in small houses. Almost all the loot is in huge houses. If you have captured large buildings, you should not stop at small ones, it is better to run to the next city.

A lot of loot can be found in locked garages, no need to miss them.

Half-dark cities are best skipped. As soon as you ran into the city and saw open doors, the absence of zombies and loot. It’s easier not to spend money searching for loot in the city, if it’s clear that someone has already robbed it before you, it’s easier to run to another one. There will be no loot until the server restart, and there is no respawn of items in the DayZ Standalone game yet.

You shouldn’t eat or drink water in cities, and you shouldn’t fiddle around in your backpack for a long time. In such places there is a very high probability that you can meet someone else and get a booth during lunch or which water to drink today - Fanta or Coke? We collected some goodies and quickly headed into the forest. Before you enter the city, it is recommended to empty your backpack of unnecessary trash for new loot. I'm going to eat food and drink water, if my stomach is full, then the notification line will tell you about it.

As soon as you enter the city, follow the signs to know your exact location and where the road you are on may lead to. If you can't find the signs, the sun is in the east in the morning, in the south in the afternoon, and in the west in the evening. clouds always move in one direction from west to east.

It may seem that the demanding player can no longer be surprised by sandboxes on the theme of the end of the world or the dead who have risen from the dead and wander around our world in search of fresh blood. What do you need to do in such games? Run away from monsters, try to survive, collect more food and tools, develop and gain new skills. But hardly DayZ Standalone will seem like a cliche to you, like many other representatives of this genre of games. The number of dead sometimes makes one's eyes wide open; the main emphasis is placed on the process of avoiding thirst, hunger, masking sores, and increasing resistance against infection emanating from the fangs of the creatures.

Trying to run away from his pursuers, falling from high-rise buildings, breaking his legs and losing his hero due to unbearable pain shock and infectious infections, the player must also be wary of “good people” who are not against hitting you on the head with something heavy in order to take away grub even for novice survivalists.

For many users, in particular in the Ru area, it has become popular to gather groups, handcuffing new Persians, taking their blood, using them as tractors.

Many after the apocalypse might have thought that this phenomenon seemed too large-scale. But DayZ Standalone was created, first of all, in the form of a role-playing survival platform, where a person who finds himself in a real mess must alone find a way out, save himself from suffering, and defeat life itself.

Over time, an unpleasant surprise will happen: you will catch a deadly infection, or zombies will deal with you. It is almost impossible to win here, but if you use and provide mutual assistance, faith in a positive outcome gradually appears. Of course, it is worth paying tribute to your role, fulfilling your own mission, because it is not at all necessary to turn into a bloody avenger-maniac.

First steps

1. Search for clothes, unloading, backpacks.

The character will need a sufficient amount of food, water supplies and medicine, since many foods tend to increase the desire to drink or lead to various diseases.

Search buildings, get into police stations or military control zones. No need to focus on firearms - this game is not a typical online shooter, so you can shoot around randomly. At the very beginning, a limited amount of ammunition will be provided; it is best to resort to using an ax or a long hook.

1. Get ready to resolve conflicts in a “quiet” way.

A miniature pistol with a silencer installed and a knife, just in case of a fire emergency, will serve as an excellent weapon that will not attract attention from ill-wishers. Every loud shot can cost you your life. In addition, get a body armor and a helmet, because movement speed does not play a big role, but if you reduce the damage caused, it will be much easier to survive.

Having decided to start a battle, be prepared for the fact that your opponent’s allies may “dangle” your equipment. Speed ​​of action plays an important role in this matter.

1. Don't forget about the dangers posed by diseases.

You should not eat food that has spoiled; disinfect water using special tablets or activated carbon; you should also not drink from easily accessible springs.

Always have some juice or sparkling water with you, as an independent supply will always come in handy in case of sudden fights or the need to run.

Medicines in this game cost more than gold, so the minimum effective expenditure of quick aid can save your character from death more than once.

1. Collect things in the Swamps, a military base or in a large village.

It should be noted that the possibility of death in places where there are a lot of all kinds of ingredients and useful things is increased, even for an experienced player it is sometimes extremely difficult to survive in these conditions. The easiest way is to gather a group of several people and then go hunting.

Of course, you shouldn’t create an entire army in the game, but mutual assistance and proper distribution of responsibilities among roles is the key to success.

1. Create an excellent first aid kit.

If you have the necessary supply of antibiotics, splints and painkillers, you will be able to help yourself at any time and remain able to move forward. Precious things in the game are blood bags and morphine.

1. Arm warriors for specific situations.

For close combat, it is necessary to equip the fighter with a powerful pump-action shotgun and a good cleaver; if you need to fight at medium distances, a rifle with a long-range sight and an SMG gun will come in handy. If you plan to engage in battles with other survivors, use machine guns or sniper equipment.

Actions at a later stage

1. Explore the territory, gather a team of allies or an entire army to keep order, help newcomers or, on the contrary, bring them pain and shame. A little later, set up your own camp, build a workshop to repair vehicles, plant a vegetable garden to grow food.
2. Have fun getting kinky. Conducting reconnaissance in the very depths of the map, overthrow zombie invasions with only one type of weapon, gather a company of novice players and completely destroy locations. Take orders for hunting activities, find unique types of weapons and sell them.
3. Form your own center that will deal with blood transfusions. Conduct a hunt for everything that does not stand still, gain the authority of a black transplantologist or attackers with an original and striking difference (for example, a decorated helmet). Simply put, in DayZ Standalone you can become distinguished and widely respected without much effort and imagination.

Think broadly and do not try to engage exclusively in one thing, for example, fleecing your neighbor or asserting yourself with the help of others who are less capable or experienced.

In the future, the creators plan to significantly update and expand the action game, making the world open, where zombies would act exclusively as a backdrop for the surroundings. Well, let's wait...
