DayZis one of the most in-depth, community-driven survival games out there.
Looking for the most fun, terrifying zombie games on PS4 and PS5?
Look no further; we’ve got the best zombie-killing games here.
However, you’ll need more if you’d like to survive the world of DayZ.
They’ll wake up again fairly quickly, so confirm your kills when you’re able to.
It might seem brutal, but better safe than sorry.
As you might imagine, weapons become less effective as their condition deteriorates.
That makes it vital to keep them in a top-notch shape.
The way you do this can vary from weapon to weapon.
As such, your first half an hour will likely be rough.

Listen out for the clucking.
Even as you get further into your DayZ journey, chickens remain worth the detour when you hear them.
Dehydration can affect blood regeneration, so you really, really need to be vigilant with water.
By having Chlorine Tablets on hand, you’ll ensure a water supply almost anywhere on the map.
Drop a tablet into the container, and you’re golden.
The only guide you need about diseases in Dayz and how to cure them.
Having the right clothing means you largely don’t have to worry too much about the cold.
Hunter garments naturally offer the best insulation, and gloves, ski masks, and hats all help.
However, this isn’t the way to go.
Bases are cool, but they just invite players to raid them.
Take advantage of low-population areas, or even bury your loot somewhere only you know.
Unfortunately, unless the servers are fairly empty, this will get you shot pretty quickly.
Military bases in particular are snipers' playgrounds.
So avoid these areas if you’re able to, or do a quick smash-and-grab if you cant.
This shouldnt be as jarring as diving right into a near-capacity battlefield filled with merciless veterans.
