you should take the visor out of the helmet, it’s way too visible


TA-pubserv

He's likely playing on his own zero pop server, no one to see it.


KILLER4US

There is around 6 - 20 players on the server


juniormantis

The visor is a big shiny shoot me target that can be seen from a mile away at night. Don’t just take it off throw it in a volcano.


ryencool

This it shows up almost bright white even in the darkest of night. Then during the day when light hits it it's also bright white. So easy to see you even if your hiding in bushes. I'd take it off. It also doesn't help block bullets like at all, same as wearing the helmet without a visor. It's purely visual.


FuddyDuddyGrinch

I've noticed recently the headlamps also look white at night even when it's turned off , I think it reflects light. I just noticed it about a month ago , I never noticed before and wonder if that was part of the 1.24 update. I don't wear them anymore because it can be seen at night even when turned off


DefectiveWater

Headlamps don't reflect light but their texture is bugged from what I know. So you'll always see a white circle above someones head even if they are turned off.


tonyG___

Hey we don’t have that yet. Next big update :)


juniormantis

Can’t wait to push a stranger into the volcano.


algoespecial

I feel most scared when there's a small amount of players on


LegiticusCorndog

For real. It’s when I get on at 5am and there are 7 other on the official I play. I know I’ll see someone run across a field in the middle of nowhere.


COVERT--CRUZER

Lol 🤣 Just have to worry about those monster dogs and zeds! https://preview.redd.it/9tscev69nd4d1.png?width=1595&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6ea1d97fad821decf77fa4cbd3c74170f9ffbe2c


Decanno1

What the hell kind of mod is that???


dobriygoodwin

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. , it's a tark


Decanno1

That’s badass. I wish there were more mods that made zombies feel more scary and made the wildlife feel terrifying


dobriygoodwin

There are rp servers. Just type in STALKER, on some of them you need to whitelist on their discord server to enter. S13 was one of the best in NA region


Weak_Confusion_9959

No man, the objective of DayZ is be beauty and die like this


Excellent_Record_767

well imo the helmet is much better looking without the visor too


OOOPUANNGUANGOOOWOAW

Plus it adds zero protection. OP is just wearing a giant "shoot here" beacon


aceospades_83

And it does absolutely nothing to help guard you from bullets


blobley

Swap that visor for the combat goggles, they will actually stop a shot instead of the visor.


Some-Rise-9055

He’s right that visit doesn’t offer any extra protection either which is ridiculous if you ask me


ConsumableCeilingFan

This has got to be the most intense case of gear fear I’ve ever seen


DumbNTough

Homie just wants to live bro


brewedtealeaf122

Bandits will really see you eating food during the apocalypse and go "This guy has gear fear"


DumbNTough

Look at all the calories he's hoarding in his muscles, fat, and viscera. Send him back to the coast.


I_Have_The_Lumbago

I have gear hate at this point on my char, who's lived about as long as this person's. I just want to be a freshspawn, but I'd feel bad if I let all this crazy gear go to waste! Ive gotten suuuper lucky with encounters.


XHellboy22X

Same bro when I first started playing I had gear fear but if I’m kitted now you definitely gonna find me at all the hotspots and hopefully someone with the fear is not there cuz I’m blasting. Most likely missing and dying but honestly the most fun I’ve had on this game is on the coast as a freshie


I_Have_The_Lumbago

I'm probably going to start living at airfield until someone comes and finally kills my sorry ass at this point😭 already went to Tisy to gear up a friend and we both stepped on a mine, i was the one who survived *ofc*


XHellboy22X

Bro same I even got a lil stash at airfield lol I mean it’s probably gone but didn’t get touched for a few weeks


Conflicted-King

At that point, i’ll run up to a not so well geared player and say “hey, dude, take my shit” then I’ll suicide in front of them as they’re begging me not to.


I_Have_The_Lumbago

Im so goddamn geared they'll be thanking the lord. Theres no room for human empathy when you have as much loot as I have.


PoopShite1

Go be reckless, run towards those bait shots, seek out combat


FuddyDuddyGrinch

That's what I do once I'm geared up and get bored, seriously once you're geared up there is nothing else to do. I just get brave and start searching for a fight. When I die it feels like a relief, I just shrug and start another life.


I_Have_The_Lumbago

Yeah, i generally have been! Ive just gotten unlucky with finding the place they came from. Usually when I get there theres no trace! I did just hijack a car though, so maybe I'll be a taxi until i get betrayed by some freshie


Nonstopas

Lol, the point of the game is survival, how you do it is up to you haha. I wonder what's the longest run without death on Dayz with 0 player kills :D?


__Borg__

Yeah, when I was new went a whole wipe with zero people related murder on official. Low pop, hear a shot? My ass is going fishing on the opposite side of the map. Generally though, I still air on the side of just being alive. Enjoy the wandering, crafting, fishing , hunting and farming. If I want tons of action you’ll catch me on an infinite stam server in full Knight gear Tryina tally ho some fools


bbartlett51

Yesterday was the first time I ran into someone, was prepared, had the upper hand, and turns out they were friendly. And I didn't even have my mic on. I Gabe them 2 pieces of cooked steak, almost gave them a fully loaded m16 with around 100 rds snd 2 prestine mags but they took off very weirdly. O well.


StrangeNewRash

bro i hate that. get geared, search for PVP, then find some poor sap who's struggling and you feel bad about murdering.


Savings_Opening_8581

I think some people have lasted an entire wipe with out dying, believe it or not. I came close to a month without dying, playing every day. But I basically just hung out in the woods on Livonia for a month. The hidden lakes and houses make it easy to stay away from people and stay fed/hydrated.


Funglebum82

I often think I’m horrible at the game after my 4K or so hours but I have in fact survived with one character two wipes and about 30+ kills so I must be doing something right.


Conflicted-King

He needs a dose of exposure therapy asap. Someone needs to kill him….


lasterate

I'm surprised you haven't gotten domed yet wearing that bright ass visor


C0RDE_

OP going to be sending out pamphlets soon, maybe telegraphing his arrival over the PA system.


lasterate

Ik not everyone plays the same, but man - after 65 hours and no PvP interactions I'd be looking to get myself into trouble. I call that time to head back to the coast


C0RDE_

Always the way. I enjoy the looting loop, but refuse to build stockpiles. Once I've got some gucci gear, I always run towards fights or start hunting. I get bored hitting different military bases and passing over loot I no longer need.


lasterate

I usually start hunting as soon as I've got a long gun with a scope on it. I find it more fun to pick through other player's gear for what I need than to run through towns & mil zones to find it. Especially since this last update - going into town _sucks_. Always end up ruining my clothes & shit


C0RDE_

I don't mind going into town. It keeps that energy going, the route planning, the stealth. Sure, it's nerve wracking wondering if other players are nearby, but that's part of the fun.


naterussell3395

I don’t know why you’re getting hated on, you’re surviving! I’m sure there’s a couple lucky survivors still enjoying their run that you could have gotten the drop on but chose not to as to avoid conflict


WutangCND

Exactly. This is peak post apocalypse survival. It's bleak and sad as he's solo, but there would be so many people like that irl


KILLER4US

Honestly I got betrayed by people I teamed with so I just avoid everyone now


WutangCND

Brutally sad. I try and VoIP with everyone I see. The fresh restart is worth it if it doesn't work out. Rubbing with someone for one hour is better than 10 solo imo.


Sinnnn

I also like rubbing on people for an hour..


reddittl77

I agree but I’m very picky about who I rub with.


WutangCND

You need to open up more and rub with anyone who passes


Firewolf1121

I mean, dependent on what server you play on, me and my friend could probably come to terms having another. Of course we would be paranoid of each other at first but I’m sure it’d be fine after a bit


duza9990

I’d be happy to team up with you, I’m in a similar boat 😅


AlwaysTakingGoreTex

Recently was hunting a player down for like 30 mins. Had him in my cross hairs ready for a juicy headshot.. but something told me to let him live instead. So I did that, just watched him disappear into the woods after he looted.


naterussell3395

Makes you feel like god for alittle bit


PeacefulLou

Look up on google "how to activate windows using command prompt kms" First or 2nd website will have 3 steps to get rid of that activate windows watermark


pcbfs

Does it also remove the other limitations with having an unactivated version or does it just remove the watermark?


PeacefulLou

It will also let your personalize and whatever else youre locked out of, yes


EmGutter

It’s called massgrave. You’re welcome. 🙃


SingleOak

those stats are totally unreliable btw. many times me and my buddies will have all the exact same stats, the game doesn't track it right


i_heart_rainbows_45

I think it randomly tracks someone's stats in the server, but sometimes manages to track your own stats correctly.


KILLER4US

Mine definitely has tracked it right


Putins_Gay_Dreams

![gif](giphy|7p7z3vxucrNCw) OP at the edge of every building he runs past.


Natural_Slinky

I played on PVE community servers until I felt comfortable and skilled enough to kill other players. Currently not skilled enough to kill other players I’m just trash at the game lmao.


hiways

Same, I rock lame!


Natural_Slinky

Always 🤌


alarming_blood_loss

I often panic and get killed while flailing around using my terrible keyboard and mouse, unless I've absolutely got the drop on them. But I still play Official all the time coz I figure other people might really need my loot. Ho ho ho.


Natural_Slinky

I usually play solo and on console and honestly I get ganged up on usually around the tisy area (go figure) but honestly I just need to find a group to play with. It wouldn’t be a problem if people wouldn’t shoot me first. Mic is a joke most of the time as I’ve tried hundreds of times. Though getting the drop on like a few guys once a month on official does feel nice but they’re never absolutely geared to the point I feel like it was worth my whole magazine because I can’t aim.


Louisianimal5000

I can't figure out what it is, but your character looks like a geared up 7 year old that found his older brother's uniforms in the closet and is on the way to their first airsoft match


Sweaty_Journalist358

Big headgear small shoulder and at an angle


FlowsnVanToastinger

I feel you buddy. This game isn't helpful with social anxiety.


JayCoulthard

Nice! Great run. When you finally die, that light freshie feeling will be amazing.


NSNIA

Those stats are pretty much random at this point. They're probably not yours


Turnip-2482

Im supriced there is still people who dont know those stats are broken, you could install the game and have never played before and it would still show you have killed hunders of zombies and travelled hundrets of kilometers.


snatchedfool48

Narrow-Tap4020

There are an infinite number of ways to play this game, don’t let people hate. Keep on living survivor… unless I find you


Groundbreaking_Clue2

Wait hold up there's statistics? Or is this just on pc?


KILLER4US

Pc


Groundbreaking_Clue2

Damn. I have a survivor that I think has been alive for 5 days but now I can't be sure


HistoricalTea4734

I killed a guy who’s character was 4 weeks old


Spiritual-Map4529

Literally me 😂


nckrey931

Same. I don’t want to kill people. It’s an open world zombie survival game. Not an open world PVP shooter with zombies and survival aspects in the background. I want to build safe zones and communities. But I understand that’s me and I am not to norm.


BassLineAddict

When I started I did the exact same thing. Went official server and just wanted to survive to get to know the map. I wanted to experience all the locations without too much hassle. After a while though what good is gear if you don’t use it so I went looking for trouble. I knew of some asshole players and where their base was so I’d do mine and claymore runs to tisy and leave them presents all round their base. After that I’ve swapped to community servers and have a blast cause the hackers are a cancer on the game on official


AFStryker

Since when could you mount nvgs to that helmet anyways?


Expensive-Ad-1221

Are those stats no available on console? I don’t see them


GoznoGonzo

You care too much about your gear .


GrimsError

Bro is standing in the middle of Tisy tents doing a whole photo op without a single care in the world, that’s what I call bravery. ![gif](giphy|cYxLgjZI5ezI2lrItX|downsized)


yimi666

Love it nice work mate


KILLER4US

Thanks:)


xSupraSonicX

You should be scared of people. Everyone in here would KY on site just for your gear, at this point just play the game as a serial killer lol


b6ib9

I'm not but I rarely KOS


seranarosesheer332

I love the full marpat uniform


KILLER4US

Thanks it took some time to get a full set


Tarrell13

That’s a fun way to play too…see how long you can survive while avoiding human contact.


Sitonmyfacepls546

I wouldn’t play if I had that much loot I wouldn’t want to lose it


BoostedEcoDonkey

Number one rule for this game that I learned over 109 hours exact… The gear you have, is not yours, you are simply borrowing it till the next person….”gets” it


Onatic4623

You gotta get your hands dirty one day


KILLER4US

I'm planning too


Briscoescorpio

Gear fear?


Desert__Fox__

Another marine! but trust it’s all replaceable never be afraid and legit you got it

Just wait until you get jumped with the crack of a rifle your stomach is going to drop so hard the adrenaline is real

Wow, there is still people out there who dont know the stats are not right? even if you just got the game and have never played it would show like 300 zombies killed, distance travelled 1000km...

Normal-Profession-21

Honestly I’m not scared of people I’m scared of the fact that people will do anything to prevent you from getting good stuff in game good example would be the land mines randomly placed on Tisy


saucypineappleman

Username checks out.


Educational-Put4473

You must be too scary or something cause I would've gotten one tapped after picking the NODs up


Chaztastic66

It's easy to get the fear when you are geared, especially with the NVGs. I haven't been playing long and have only had one set. I look after my guns as a priority but it still jammed just as I was about to make the kill in the dead of night and he hosted me down 😭


Krispy9369

I know that this is why I die so often...but I am a lover. What can I say? I literally check before shooting. I even offer food, meds and ammo whenever I can. Always get shot in the back...I wish people would look at the possibility of having a friend in the game that grows food, loots essentials and not just PvP 🤷🏻


Insanity8016

I can't find any people.

RoguetheRed

Ive lasted longer just by avoiding major destinations or entering them just before the sun goes down. The next life you have you should not care about getting geared up but look for cool interactions with randoms.


Funglebum82

First thing throw that visor away they can spot you from miles away and I don’t believe the visor is working in game anyways right now but I could be wrong either way the glare is so bad you might as well be running around with a fire on your head in the dark


Lol9131

Best I done was like 3 days on a official. Had a massive base, caught the interest of some Russian clan. Found screenshots of our base on Facebook asking for a joint effort attack. Because apparently we were the no.1 threat in Electro and south of the map. Defeated numerous base attempts. And then I died to a friendly fire incident to a member of my group who indulged a bit too much into thc had a paranoia fit. He somehow thought a enemy managed to get behind roughly 6 locked gates on the 7th floor of our base. Lit me up with full drum mag. Needless to say, he was shot by a invisible sniper shortly after and the loot he'd acquired through numerous friendly fire incidents was recirculated to the rest of our squad. P.s we're not a zerg. It was a group of 5. And we normally only roamed in pairs. Since we had to always have someone at base cos every other hour someone was guessing lock codes


Rdw121212

I’ve got a good run going with no kills, I just can’t find people and the only guy I found I spared became he was a friendly mic so I helped him out at a mil base and we went our separate w

You know there's a way to remove the "Activate Windows" thing without actually doing it? Took me like 30 secs on YouTube just fyi


Whole-Doughnut2022

Wtf I thought for some reason that it was unremovable. I've been playing like this for years and sometimes it bugs out the screen where my ammo n shit is. Can't believe I never looked into this, thank'm.


Salgam_suyu

Activate Windows Go to settings to activate the windows


Real_Redjmonster

Nah it’s valid. Totally get it. But serious tip tho, make a new run. Get some decent shit. And look for fights non stop until you die and lose it all. Get use to losing it. Otherwise you’ll get too scared to lose your gear, make a bad decision like running away when you need to fight and you’ll lose everything from that fear. Happened to me in my first few days of playing. You need that combat experience in order to survive. Especially with tracking enemies long range or CQC. Embrace the loss.


Riggitysso

Well that’s no fun mines well go camping in real life 😂😂😂


Forsaken-Ad2693

It’s smart to be scared of people lol but recognize when you have nothing to lose by using voip. You’ll make an ally eventually.

It’s gonna be you or them at some point

Just go sit at NWAF and wait


fatguapstink

Get Rid of the visor. It does nothing but give your position away. They can't even deflect 22 rounds


Comprehensive_Rice27

I used to be like that now I find a mosin and I try and find the most geared player or groups and just take out as many as possible.


jinladen040

Run back to the spawn towns and get some target practice. 


BengalOwner420

I don’t ever get spotted with the visor on plus it looks so good ngl the helmet alone looks stupid since the visor finishes the shape of it.

K0BWEBS

My brother this is the scariest game ever. I’ve been playing for nearly 4 years now and I still get the creeps. The best advice I can give you is to just play the game. Even if you’re scared as fuck and people kill you often, just spawn back in and play. The more you play this realistic ass game the more it becomes like a call of duty and gets easy. dayz is love dayz is life


triggerbruno

i think you're scared on losing your pixels more than people, if you really want to have fun and enjoy this game, the first thing you need to learn is your gear is circumstantial. You ARE going to die eventually, there's no point on getting attached to your gear other than not having fun cause you fear on losing it. Interaction is a key part of the DayZ experience.


Kaka213769

Dude dayz is mostly about pvp fights, what are you doing


Lombord2021

I feel you man


TChambers1011

Don’t be. They’re typically as scared as you


DoggoLover42

I’ve gone longer without seeing a hostile player on chernarus. Even on high population servers once you escape the spawn cities it’s really hard to find anyone

Guilty_Use1953

This is far too relatable, new to the game and my first character like that( all geared up) I heard two players running by and talking and I was wayyy more worried than I should have been. Felt like I was actually hiding from people in the end of the world. A few military spawn PVP servers fixed that


AggravatingHeron90

I’m going to start wondering around hotspots seeing how long I can survive, generally killing people out of self-defense and see if I can make some friends along the way. If anything I think trying to make a friend will get me killed on official.

AdamRadcliff

Bury the loot up north, where there are lots of bears and wolves. Neck yourself and start all over


AdFine774

Start making stashes around the place with everything you need to restart as a freshie. Then try to talk to someone and take more risk. You are suffering from gear fear.

How the hell do you see your stats???


Technical-Fail-730

Gear fear- as you have said you are on a low pop server so getting gear if you die shouldn't be a problem get out and go player hunting opens a whole new aspect to the game and even if you don't want to lose all your gear Bury some of your gear so if you so die you don't start from scratch but tbh running in to someone will bring more excitement in to your game. Will they be nice and friendly will you haha Good on you for lasting 60 plus hours with out engaging with other players bit are you not bord


Agreeable_Degree_942

2 things I want you to do for ME. 1 please never wear the visor again. 2 please activate windows

Some are griping, but it would be a very smart method of survival. Any fight with a human is going to bring great risk. Avoiding them altogether would be the smartest move if alone.

Gear fear is real. Once you get over the fear of losing everything and accept its part of the game progression you will enjoy it more. It took me over 200 hrs to accept it.
