DayZ Coast to Inland
A first-life route that prioritizes calories over a plate carrier.
Coast
Fruit, clothes, a melee, a bag. Do not fight a geared player for a can of beans.
Inland
Hunting, wells, and better loot. Military is optional until you can survive the walk.
Vehicles
Parts are a quest. A car is a magnet. Bikes and feet are valid.
PVE vs PVP servers
Community PvE exists if official is too cruel. Read the motd.
