Rules of DayZ

  • To be killed on sight, you must be in sight.
  • Saying “friendly” does not make other people friendly.
  • Look unimportant, bandits may be low on ammo.
  • If it looks like it’s going to break your leg, it will break your leg.
  • Always take people’s pants, they may be hiding a pistol.
  • Gunfights in pine trees are never a good idea.
  • Nobody in Cherno is friendly.
  • Not everyone who kills you is a hacker.
  • Everyone punches like Mike Tyson.
  • You will never find food when you need food.
  • Ladders are not your friend.
  • Never trust anyone but your friends and Frankie!
