Squeamy's DayZ NOOB test run on Xbox Series X: Will he survive?

This is a test run of DayZ on Xbox Series X. After watching a few videos of gameplay and about two hours of fumbling around in the PC and Xbox version, I decided to record a test run and see if I could survive for an hour this time. Still have some bugs to work out and may switch back to the PC version because I am not a fan of the inventory system on Xbox. However, it could just be due to my own stupidity.Show more

DayZ is a multiplayer-only survival video game developed and published by Bohemia Interactive. It is the standalone game based on the mod of the same name for ARMA 2. Following a five-year-long early access period for Windows, the game was officially released in December 2018, and was released for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in 2019.

The game places the player in the fictional post-Soviet Republic of Chernarus, the original setting of ARMA 2, where a mysterious plague has turned most of the population into violent "infected". As a survivor, the player must scavenge the world for food, water, weapons and medicine, while killing or avoiding the infected, and killing, avoiding, or cooperating with other players in an effort to survive the outbreak.

The goal of DayZ is to stay alive and healthy during the conditions of the zombie outbreak that have befallen the in-game world. The player spawns near the coast, equipped with only simple clothes, a glow stick, half of a bandage, and a piece of fruit, and must begin exploring the large 225 km2 (87 sq mi) landscape of the fictional former Soviet Republic of Chernarus to investigate locations such as houses, barns, and apartments to scavenge supplies.
