They call this 'a predecessor to the Battle Royale genre'

Just thought I'd bump this for any new users that may want to venture into DayZ now that it's on Gamepass.

I'll post a mini guide if people are interested as at the start it can be tricky, and the inventory isn't exactly easy to use.

The one thing I will say is that, you should use the community servers, on the first page. Anything called Loot Smoke or !DNOS are servers that have high loot counts and more importantly high food counts, because food and water are of most importance at start.

One other important note is that in December it introduced a rather hard ass disease system:

- If you pick up a bottle of water DO NOT DRINK IT! if you hold in hand and look at floor you can empty it out. If you drink it you'll die, you have to refill at the various water pumps in each town.

-Similarly don't drink water from lakes or again you'll die. The only safe water is from pumps. You can find chlorine tablets in medical buildings/randomly that you can use to make all water safe.

- Don't eat raw meat, you'll die too.

- Don't eat people you kill, you won't die if you cook them but your character will laugh like a nut job forever with no cure (unless you get killed, end yourself)

- Try to stay out of the Rain, it will make your food go down faster and if your clothes get wet you can get a cold, you'll sneeze and cough, it can also be transmitted to other humans you come into contact with. You treat with Codein and/or vitamins. You need to eat food, then take either to cure. You can wring your clothes out by holding in hand.

There is a high threshold to this game, when you die, you lose everything and start all over again. Many just give up but after a few hours, you get into the swing of things (and accept you gonna die a lot at start). Hold down on D-pad to talk to others in proximity chat. Try to not kill new spawns and maybe, just maybe some of you will like it.

Population on Official Servers in EU already up......for now....
