DayZ, tips for beginners?

[Preditor]

Well for starters, run away from the coast, you may find some stuff, but if your there, thats where everyone is, and most likely will shoot at you, ive had dayz for a while now, and ive learned that if your alone, its kill or be killed. i wont lie, ive done some messed up stuff in that game, ive killed, stole and i did what had to be done, cause if you dont, well you might as well kill your self. make sure you find night vision goggles, i have some, and they really help. ive stayed alive for a while now on a m1o14 with slugs. night vision goggles are probably the most important thing in the game. cause if your on a night server. your in trouble. always team up with a friend if you can. one time me and my friend took on a group of bandits and one. thanks to night vision goggles of course. but the main point of survival in dayz is to always asume that your in someones sights. good luck, and let me know if you wanna play. i play it on a different steam acount though. :p
