Added “Armor is Useless” and made some edits
* ArmorIsUseless: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-zagged]], especially in comparison to the original [=DayZ=]. Many body armor vests come with additional inventory slots and do help protect you to a small degree against melee attacks, plus it helps that weight isn’t a factor in this game and thus you have zero reason to not wear a vest if you find one. However, against bullets you’ll still get shredded fast, meaning it’s the utility the vests provide that makes them useful instead of their original purpose: protection against firearms.

** Melee combat in general is this. As fun as it sounds to hack zombies to death with a fire axe or beat them to death with a shovel, your clothing/equipment will take damage and the highest possible block rate for preventing damage with a melee weapon is a mere 35%. Even if you can replenish health over time, replacing damaged clothes to keep yourself from freezing and becoming sick relies heavily on finding decent loot, and the last thing you want is to be stuck in houses for a long period of time just to warm yourself up since you still have to worry about hunger and dehydration.

Besides using a common ammo type (7.62x54) and being found as early as the first island, its long range and high damage makes it easy to take down targets from a safe distance.

** Hunting animals for food requires a lot of moving parts to work: a knife, axe, matches, and a long ranged weapon. Shooting animals from a distance is difficult (unless it’s an improvised bow or crossbow, both of which fire arrows silently), you cannot flay animal carcasses without a knife, not having an axe makes you dependent on random loot to set up a bonfire kit, and without matches you cannot cook the meat to prevent your character from getting sick and becoming unable to heal health. However, once you have everything in place, killing deer and/or rabbits rewards you with meat that fills a great deal of your hunger bar as well as a small portion of your thirst.

With its rapid fire speed; high damage; and usage of a common ammo type found everywhere (12 cal. shot shells), it can mop up any target that your new primary firearm(s) failed to kill, making it a powerful burst damage firearm against dangerous individual enemies. Only the tank zombie can survive an initial two-round burst at close range, but even then this firearm is a good choice against it.
** Several mundane items that don't seem to be useful at first (a hacksaw, matches, newspaper, among others)
** The “Sprinter” perk, which gives you a mere 10% boost in running speed, allows you to outrun regular zombies as well as hostile bandits. It also allows you to match the running speed of many [[EliteZombie elite zombies]] (granted you aren’t carrying a heavy weapon), meaning only the tank; gray-hooded crawler; and the red hazmat zombie can outrun you at that point. Also, being able to run faster means reaching your destination faster, making it easier to find food/water/loot at a quicker rate before your character succumbs to poor health.
** Knives may deal the lowest amount of damage in game and have terrible blocking chances, but their true usefulness is the utility they provide for hunting. You can craft arrows for an improvised bow as well as crossbow by carving wooden sticks, plus a knife is necessary for flaying an animal carcass. Once you established a base, can chop trees down for wood with an axe, and have an improvised bow or crossbow, you can hunt animals for above average hunger recovery as well as a near limitless ammo supply so long as the knife remains intact.
** The Mosin Nagant rifle. Besides using a common ammo type (7.62x54) and being found as early as the first island, its long range and high damage makes it easy to take down targets from a safe distance. It has its flaws, namely a slow reloading speed and is tied for the slowest run penalty amongst firearms, but attaching a bandolier solves the reload speed problem and a PU Scope can give the already fast aiming speed on the rifle a lighting quick focus between shots. You can even use a hacksaw to turn it into a sidearm, allowing you to use the high damage while equipping an even more high-powered firearm as your primary, albeit it suffers degradation in performance as a result.
** The IZH-43 double barrel shotgun is a fine choice starting off, but from the second island on you’ll face larger zombie mobs as well as bandits who now have firearms at their disposal. This makes it seem like a terrible choice to continue holding due to slow and frequent reloading, but using a hacksaw shortens the barrel and allows you to hold the shotgun as a sidearm. With its rapid fire speed; high damage; and usage of a common ammo type found everywhere (12 cal. shot shells), it can mop up any target that your new primary firearm(s) failed to kill, making it a powerful burst damage firearm against dangerous individual enemies.

** Hazmat Zombies: Combined with Boomer Zombies, they come in green and red variants - both of which spill a massive amount of poisonous liquids when killed. However, the red variant is much faster; leaks poison in their trail; and makes a larger explosion when killed. If you come into contact with the poison, your character becomes sick and cannot regenerate health until cured (either using tetracycline or having your hunger/thirst/body temperature gauges nearly filled).
** Hunters: The crawler zombies. While the regular ones can be matched speed-wise if you have the “Sprinter” perk unlocked, the grey-hooded variant cannot be outrun.
** Screamers: Slow, barely moving zombies wearing a white lab coat who yell out loud if they see a human (either you or an NPC) and attracts the attention of all zombies within a wide area. They also automatically wake up any Possum zombies within the area.

* CatchYourDeathOfCold: If your body temperature gauge drops to zero, your character becomes sick and can no longer regenerate health, even if they have sufficient food/water to prevent starvation and dehydration. And unlike getting sick by being poisoned by hazmat zombies, tetracycline will not be effective if you cannot warm yourself up since you’ll just become sick shortly after; you have to find a way to warm yourself up or suffer the consequences. And if it starts to rain; snow; or nighttime begins, the temperature drops even further, making it imperative for you to find good quality clothing/equipment that is warm since your beginning gear won’t cut it at later islands.
** Zombie attacks have a good chance of damaging your clothes, making it important to find guns/bows and fight from a distance so you can keep your clothes in good condition.
** Getting hit by gunfire will also damage your clothing. Wearing body armor will shield most of the damage from your clothing, but its rare to find one (though the character Aika starts off with a press vest).
** Drinking whiskey and using heat packs will raise your body temperature by a small amount.
** Staying inside buildings/structures with roofs will raise your body temperature unless your clothing is too damaged. The “Sweet Home” perk gives a 50% boost to raising your body temperature when unlocked, though Lee starts off with this perk as well if you select him.

[[https://www.bohemia.net/games/minidayz Mini DAYZ: Zombie Survival]] is a [[ReformulatedGame reformulated]] offline, 16-bit top-down version of its bigger [[SurvivalSandbox post-apocalyptic zombie-survival simulation]] brother ''VideoGame/DayZ'', developed by the same company Bohemia Interactive.
Much like ''[=DayZ=]'', the player has to survive in a fictional world after ab outbreak of an [[TheVirus unknown infection]]. Of course, there are a few differences that separate it from its brother game:
*NonPlayerCharacter NPC Survivors are in lieu of an MMO-based server. They still function the same way as their ''[=DayZ=]'' counterparts, be it in the form of a neutral party, an ally, or pesky bandits.
* You can do tasks with survivor parties (normally in the form of a FetchQuest for specific supplies) in exchange for other supplies or co-ordinations to special places.
*{{Broken Bridge}}s. The world is divided into four different islands and the first three have boats to access a new island (but requires certain items to fix them). One you use them, [[PointOfNoReturn you can't return to the other islands]].
Currently, a sequel is in the [[https://minidayz.com/blog/mini-dayz-future-and-further-development developments]].
Needs more wiki love.
