What To Do First When You Spawn – DayZ Beginner Guide (2025)

New to DayZ and wondering what to do first when you spawn? This beginner guide walks you through the essentials: how to find your bearings, get food and water, craft basic tools, and survive your first hour. The focus is on gameplay itself, set on the most played DayZ map: Chernarus. I’ve skipped some details to keep the video from being too long, and also because I believe some things are best experienced for the first time yourself ;] I hope you enjoy the video. Either way, let me know in the comments, and if you’d like to see more, a like or subscribe would help me a lot. I’m already working on a new DayZ Journeys series, so make sure you don’t miss it!

No need to press it again, that's an extra step I'm doing out of the habit – the catch is automatic.
