Intro
What is DayZ?
DayZ is a zombie survival game where you... Well ya... Have to survive as long as possible. Zombies most likely try to kill you, so are bandits. You can deside to team up and survive, or to play solo and help or kill other people. The map is huge... And with huge I mean 225 square meter. You also have various items, from a sawing kit to a good ol' zombie boomstick.
Currently the game doesn't have vehicles (Confirmed future update) And only one zombie (more coming, also confirmed)
What to do?
Thats your choice. Team op or solo? Bandit or hero? (see characters). Wandering around or looting in the dangerous city's? Every single decision is a difference between life or death. The smallest decision to take that small screwdrive, or save some space in your inventory. You basicly actuall just loot stuff or get beter stuff, find zombies or other.
Where can I get it
Short and simple answer...
Steam™ for only 23.99 Euro ($33.27 £19.71). In my opinion its worth Every... Single... Penny
Alpha version
Currently its still in alpha and a stuffload of bugs can be found. Like zombies not giving a forget about doors, they walk trough it. They will update and fix bugs later, but it can be very annoying to play with tons of bugs.
Surviving
With other words: The whole game, is this the main thing to actually do. Average life expactation: 1 hour and 9 minits. I already survived 3 hours. And still alive baby!
Anyways, Surviving is the key of this game, Bieing well fet and hydrated. Making sure you have enough medical supplies. And ofcourse...
WEAPONSBlood/Medical
Blood is one of the bodily stats of the player in DayZ Standalone. The major stat that affects a survivors ability to survive now is health.
Bleeding
Bleeding commonly occurs when a player is unjured by zombies (aka Zeds) but can also happen due to gunshot wounds or other inflicted injure (Ex. Falling). When bleeding, a player will recieve various warning messages (Ex. "I feel hot blood dripping of my clothes") indicating that he/she is bleeding, the point of injury or bleeding is usually visible when exemining the body.
When bleeding, immediate treatment using a bandage or a rag must be done to prevent further blood loss, its side-effects, unconciousness and a lastly death. Longer term treatment should include the player staying well feed and hidrated, to naturally regenerate blood. One may still recieve a saline bag or a transfusion from a donor to boost thier blood levels more rapidly.
Loss of blood may vary depending on the type of injury, the following are list of inflicted injuries in order of most severe to the least in terms of blood loss.
•Projectile or gunshot wounds, larger caliber bullets (Ex. Buckshot (Shotgun)) inflict heavier damage plus severe bleeding.
•Slice wounds or that caused by hatchets or knives.
•Blunt force.
•Zombie atacks (got atacked, survived 5 minutes and found a survivor. He was friendly enough to apply bandage :) )
•Poisoning, Thirst or hunger.
Blood levels and Effects
Unlike in the DayZ
mod, there is no indication of the actual blood velues in standalone, so the following blood levels are assumed with explained symptoms.
•
High - Clear and well saturated vision.
•
Moderate - Will see slightly less saturated colors (Ive almost played the whole game like that), may experience blurry vision but may still see at far distances
•
Low - May randomly fall unconscious, will see an obvious amount of de-saturation of colors, may experience blurry vision but with reduced ability to disthinguish at short distances
•
Severe - May easily and often fall in and out of conciousness, little to no saturation of colors, may experience significant amount of blurred vision such that distinguishing objects at more that 50M may be extremely difficult.
Stop Bleeding
Before using a bandage, an injured player must first determine if they are bleeding or not. Bleeding may be indicated by a blinking white medical crosssymbol over a player's blood icon in the HUD. Bleeding may also be shown as a stream of blood gushing from a player, altrough this is not always present, as in the case of broken bones. A low level of blood wich may be indicative if bleeding, may be shown by a general desaturation of a player's screen.
Bandaging oneself
A player may use a bandage either on themselves or on another player. Before applying a bandage, it is recommended to clear the area of threats or allow enough time to administer a bandage safely, for obvious reasons. To apply a bandage to oneself, the inventory must be opened [TAB] (Default) and there must be a bandage or rag present . By right-clicking a bandage and selecting "Bandage myself" From the menu that appears. Bandaging takes approximatly ten seconds, during wich player cannot move without 'breaking' the animation wich means having a bandage or rage again.
Bandaging others
To bandage another plyer, one must be within range for the context option "Apply Bandage" toappear when using the context menu (Middle mouse button for default action, scroll for context menu and backspace to cancel). To bandage others, the bandage must be placed in the hand slot.
Regaining Blood
Blood can be regained trough various methods:
•Naturally
•Eating
•Donor blood transfusion
•Saline bag IV (Revives unconscious player: 500 blood)(not much at all)
Natural Regeneration
A player will naturally regenerate blood if he is kept well-energized and hydrated. As a result, his blood will increase as soon as the following requierments are met:
Slow Regeneration (1 blood/second): • Energy > 3500 (Dark green: "Energized" stat)
• Water > 3000 (No "thirsty" stat)
Full Regeneration (3 Blood/second): •Energy > 5000 (Light green "Energized" stat)
•Water > 2500 (Dark green "Hydrated" stat)

Blood type chartBlood can also be donated using blood bags but this may be very dangerous because both donators and client need a matching blood type. So here is a chart.
Characters
Characters in DayZ Standalone are Survivirs that are player con
trolled by the computer (AI) It isimportant to know your friend and foe if you plan to survive in chernarus+
Survivors
Every player in DayZ Standalone begins as a minimally equipped survivor in the nation of chernarus after a virus has struck the populace and the CDF has collapsed, players are free to make a back story for thier character. With only rudimentary gear, it's essential to loot supplies and arms to survive against basic needs like hunger and thirst, as well as hostile enemies
Starting Equipment
Starting equipment consist of:
• 1 Flashlight
• 1 Alkaline Battery (9V)
• Selected Clothes
Combat
One of the first things every survivir usually spends time aquiring is a weapon. Weapons in DayZ range from melee weapons such as Pipe Wrench, to powerful rifles and explosives. Proper weapon selection depends on what player intends to use it for, and more importantly, on what is available.
Zombies
Zombies are infected humans that wander about cities and towns aimlessly. They will key in on movement and sound
(Buggy as forget. They can see you like a mile away. But anyways) Once alerted to the presence of a player, they will begin to cream
(Random screams can be heard without a zombie near. These screams short but annoying as forget) run towars and attack that player. Zombies can open
(Don't give a forget about) Doors
(They walk trough) swim and climb ladders
(but can't get on stairs ;) ) but the can easily be defeated unless in large numbers.
Zombies can be very dangerous if not handled properly. Becoming trapped in a small area by zombies is possible, and loud weapons can easily exacerbate a zombie problem. Zombies can cause beeding, broken bones, unconsciousness and death. They also tackle players who attempt to run past them.
Survivors
Survivors are other human players in the game. All players start out as normal survivors, but some may become bandits or heroes depending on how they treat fellow survivors.
Wether or not one should tust survivors can be a tricky question; it is foten difficultto tell ahead of time whether or not a survivor is in your need of your last can of bacon. If the player does decide to approach another survivor the proper way to do so is to say or type "Friendly" in direct chat (NEVER EVER use voice in side chat) to let other players know that you do not intend to kill him. When holding a weapon it is polite to lower [SPACEBAR] (Default) Looking at a friendly survivor. Don't expect everyone to repect "Friendly", and it is advisable to still cautious around "Friendly" players.
Bandits
Bandits are players in DayZ Standalone who have murdered other survivors. When one looks at a bandit at close range, a heartbeat should be audible; the faster and loader the heartbeat, the more murders the bandit has commited recently. It is inadvisable to trust bandits; in fact, most players have adopted a "kill on sight" (KOS) policy with regads to the bandit community
Heroes
A hero's goal is to help other survivors by giving them food, Tools and Medical assistance. They won't usually Attack you unless you eather suprise them or make them uncomfortable, but be warned: They are far from bieing pacifists and will defend themselves.
Items
To keep it short and simple.
here is an item list with all needed explanation.
Crafting
Crafting is an ability all players can perform in DayZ standalone in wich they may combine or transform or transform one or multiple items to produce a new item or change a state of an item.
Crafting can be performed by right clicking an item or dragging an item over another, in wich case a menu will appear showing possible actions.

Navigation
Navigating Chernarus+ in DayZ Standalone is one of the most important skills on can aquire. There are multiple methods for navigation. The easiest is just watching the movement of clouds, sun and starts.
If you have not yet found a compass in-game, then here are some techniques to find north.
Northern Start
Especially During the night, it can be hard to orientate and very hard to know wich direcation you're walking. Since you can't use shadows, you'll need to rly on the starts. Here is how to do so.
• Find the
Big Dipper constellation.
• Draw a line from the two bottom stars and keep drawing this line upward (around 5 times).
• The next star you'll get is
Polaris, the
Northern star.
The Clouds
The clouds in Chernarus always travel from west to east. To find north, face toward the direction that the cloads are traveling, then turn 90 degrees to the left. Now there is north.
The Sun
Simply. The never is north. When its noon, The sun's posision is east, Midday its south. and in the evening. Its west.
Status Effects and Treatments
Bleeding
Bleeding only has a single stage, but the amount of blood you lose is still based on how badly you're bleeding.
The cure - Bandage or Rags
Hunger
Hunger goes trough 3 stages: Hungy, Very hungry and starving
The cure - Eating food, Or for smaller gains drinking soda.
Thirst
Thirst goes trough 3 stages of dehydration: Light, Medium and heavy. It's worth noting that when you spawn, you're already in light dehydration, so one of your top priorities should be finding water or soda. Unlike hunger, the status text in your inventory doesn't change when you reach the worst stage, so be sure to pay attention to the symptoms in your chat
The cure - Drinking water or soda.
Foot injury
A foot injury is caused by running without shoes. While moving around, youcause damage to your feet based on the terrain you're moving on, and how fast you're moving. While wearing shoes, The damage is absorbed by lowering thier condition.
The cure - No known cure at this time, but also no known negative inpact
Broken Bones
Broken Bones can be caused by either bieing shot by another playern hit by a zombie or falling from great height
The cure - Morphine Auto Injector or Wooden Splints (look at the crafting guide for more information)
Food Poisoning
To lazy to explain, jut don't eat rotten fruit.
The cure - Eating Charcoal tablets or vomiting
Hemolytic Poisoning
A Hemolytic reactiong is caused by recieving a blood tansfusion with incompable blood types. A blood transfusion only adds 1000 blood while a saline bag IV add 500 blood, so a transfusion should only be used in emergencies, or after confirmed compability - Because a Hemolytic recation is going to kill you
The Cure - No known cure at this moment.
