The items you have picked along the way while playing DayZ can be accessed in your Inventory. However, to effectively use the inventory, you need to know how to rotate and turn the items in inventory in DayZ.
So, how do you rotate and turn items in inventory in DayZ? Turning items in inventory in DayZ will vary depending on your console. If you are using a PC, you will hit the space bar as you drag an item to your backpack. This action will allow you to manipulate the items such that they can fit into the slots available.
If you are using other consoles, you may not be able to use this feature, but I hope that Bohemia Interactive will add it in the future. Thus, while using other consoles, combine the matching ammo types and, if possible, put some bullets in your weapon to create space.
If you want to know how to use and maneuver items in inventory in DayZ, this is the ultimate guide for you. I will help you know how to rotate and turn items in inventory, how to use a combination lock, what an ESP is, and how to make a gate in DayZ. Read through the rest of the sections to find out all the answers you need.
The inventory screen gives you the ability to manipulate the items you possess. However, you need to know to manage your inventory space and use the items stored in it. Therefore, how do you rotate and turn items in inventory in DayZ?
If you are a PC user, you can use the space bar to rotate or turn items. However, if you are using other consoles, click on the gear you want to adjust and the R key to rotate and turn items in inventory in DayZ. While doing the above, ensure you have enough space for the item you are rotating.
Knowing how to rotate and turn items is vital to ensure you have what you need when going to raid. The inventory slots will vary depending on the kind of clothing you have and whether or not you have a backpack. Also, these clothes will have a varying number of slots depending on their number of pockets, affecting their arrangement.
In addition to rotating and turning items, the inventory tab is also helpful if you want to view items on the ground in your vicinity. You can also use this tab to pick or use these items in crafting. While on this screen, you can choose to eat foods, drink beverages, craft items, and use or manage your supplies.
Lastly, you can also use this screen to assign items to the Hotbar at the bottom of your screen such that you can access them quickly with just a single keypress and drag the desired item to your chosen slot, from one to ten at the bottom of the screen. The available slots will depend on the clothing you have on, but, if an item of clothing has more slots, it will contribute to more slots to the Hotbar.
How Do You Use a Combination Lock in DayZ?
The combination lock enables players to lock the door. However, how do you use it in DayZ?
To use the combination lock, turn it right thrice and stop at the First digit. Next, turn left one fully and pass the first number and stop at the second. Finally, turn right, stop at the third digit and pull the shackle.
Generally, the Combination lock features two variants. The first variant is the cyan cable lock, which comprises three discs of ten digits, 0 through 9. This variant has its total possible combinations numbering 1000. The second variant is the red cable lock, which comprises four discs, each having ten digits, 0 through 9. The red cable lock features 10000 possible combinations.
To crack the three combination lock, you will follow the general process of using the combination lock. Start by turning the lock until the numbers read right-side up. Next, roll the left-most dial to line up the first number of your combination with the scored hash mark. You can then roll the middle dial until an appropriate number lines up with the one on the left. Once done, repeat these steps with the rightmost number.
If, as a player, you do not have the combination, you can still open the combination lock by pulling the shackle gently and holding it in place, then turn the dial in a clockwise direction while listening carefully until you hear a lock click sound.
When doing the above, be keen to start with some good pressure and become gentle as you spin the dial until you feel the resistance. You will know you are pulling too hard if the dial catches the numbers often.
However, it is impossible to break a combination lock in DayZ. Destroying the lock means destroying the wall, bullets, grenades, and melee. Also, you cannot shoot the combo locks. This means that if you want to drop the combo lock, you will have to destroy the panels, upper and lower walls, and bottom skeleton, and the combo lock will drop.
What Is ESP on DayZ?
As a DayZ player, understanding various hacks is vital to give you a competitive advantage over your enemies. In this section, I discuss more about ESP and how to use it in DayZ.
The Extra Sensory Perception, ESP, comprises a wide range of hacks useful in exploiting a game. These hacks unveil to the player knowledge about other gamers that naturally, they would not know.
ESP hacks are not a single package but comprise a category of hacks that are effective when used together. ESP will provide you with other players’ name tags, player box, distance, weapon, explosives, explosive warning, health, rank, and visibility.
The ESP name tags show the name of the players in the game. This hack is both valuable to enemies and allies and bears different color codes in each case. The enemy tags will be red, while allies will have either blue or white tags. For special groups like NPCs, their tags will bear the label NPC.
As the name suggests, the player box ESP creates a player’s hitbox outline. This, just like the name tag, is useful for both allies and enemies. The player boxes for enemies are usually red, while those of allies are white or blue. A player can set their Said play boxes into 2D or 3D.
To up your shooting games, knowing how far your friends and allies are is vital; therefore, you will need the distance ESP. The distance ESPs is useful in marking the distance from the player. They utilize numbers that appear above or below the play. However, these ESPs are not color-coded, and they apply to all enemies.
As a player engages in fights, they can track their war tools including their weapons and explosives. To aid in this is the weapon ESP, which displays the name, position, and distance of the weapons a player drops.
On the other hand, the explosives ESP marks the name and location of the explosives; hence, useful to both hackers and anti-hackers. It also marks out Auto-turrets, First Aid kits, and warlord boxes, despite not falling under the explosives category.
The explosive warning serves as a useful hack to ensure the player’s safety. This hack alerts the player of their proximity to a mine or grenade. The warning, which reads DANGER: EXPLOSIVE NEAR YOU, usually pops below the game score bar.
Health is another top consideration when playing DayZ and knowing how much your allies or enemies remain with will help you know how to navigate around and allocate resources.
To aid in tracking the health of your friend and enemies, you need the health ESP. This ESP can pop as a text or in the health bars. Its measurement is in HP and AP, with each player having a maximum of 100.
If players get infected or have powerups, their HP/AP will increase and extend outside the border. Infected players in DayZ refer to all the victims of the NEMEXIS virus, which results from typical scratches and bites. Such victims are usually aggressive and lack a sense of reason. The health ESP is also helpful in detecting invisible GMs that you cannot see usually.
The rank ESP shows the players’ ranks. Like the health ESP, it is also useful in detecting the invisible GMs present in the game. As the name suggests, the visibility check ESP aids visibility.
It does this by turning the ESP boxes, names, and lines into a different color, such as red for not visible, green for visible, and amber, orange, or yellow for spawn shield. This color change tells whether a player can be shot and is helpful to closet hackers.
Finally, since hacking is not encouraged, you should report hackers for immediate action. While doing this, ensure that the hacker you are reporting is hacking lest you get banned. Also, you should note that helping a hacker or enjoying their benefits is illegal according to Nexon Terms of Service and can result in suspension or total ban from the game.
How To Make a Gate in DayZ?
If you recently found a spot in Chernarus that you want to settle in or are just afraid that anyone might come and kill you in the structure you just claimed, then you need a gate. Read to know how to make a gate in DayZ and increase your chances of survival.
First, you should understand that gates are a part of the fencing system and locking it with a four-digit combination is ideal for keeping survivors at bay. The tools you will need to make the gate include a shovel, hammer, hacksaw, hatchet, nails, pliers, planks, metal wire, sheet metal, rope and sticks, and a combination lock, especially if using a public server.
Given that you need a fence kit to make the gate, I will start by creating one. To make a fence kit, place a rope on the ground and drag the sticks on top of it. From the recipe list, select the fence kit and put it in your inventory to ensure installation at the desired location.
Once the fence kit is complete, you can make the gate on PC by selecting this kit and finding a suitable ground location. Next, left click and hold till the animation ends, then attach the two logs to the fence kit.
Using the shovel, select the Build Base option to create pillars from the logs. On your now new structure, proceed to attach the planks using the nails. From here, shift your focus to the lower frame and place the hammer in your hands, then left-click to build and repeat this step for the upper frame.
On this frame, you can continue attaching more planks, after which you will build the upper and lower wooden walls. Afterward, attach the wire to the structure and use the pliers to build the gate. To complete the gate, attach the combination lock, and you can rest knowing that you are safe.
If you are using Xbox One or other consoles, the above process of making a gate is more or less the same, requiring crafting and materials. Also, there is not much difference when constructing a metal gate as you will go through the same process, and, instead of planks, you will use sheets. Lastly, given that the metal gate is an upgrade, you expect the structure to have more resistance and protection.
Wrap Up
When playing DayZ, knowing your way around and surviving your enemies is paramount. Some of the things you will need in this case include inventory items and how the ability to effectively use them, a combo lock for added security, and a gate. You will also need ESP hacks for competitiveness against your enemies, but you should be keen when using them lest you get a ban or suspension.
The gate is an important addition, given that you will be living in a dangerous locality in DayZ, containing wild animals and enemies. Building the gate is a lengthy process and will vary slightly depending on your console, but you can achieve it in a short time with the steps I have provided above. While doing this, you should note that the type of gate you select is vital to your security, making the metal gate a top consideration for most players.
