Hunger | Status effects DayZ - ArmA 2 mod Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Hunger (indicated by a flashing hunger gauge) will cause you to lose 20 blood units per minute. It's a slow, but very consequent process, so it's better to avoid it, which shouldn't be all that difficult. Hanger can be satisfied with canned goods and cooked meat.
CANNED GOODS Where to find: all buildings, killed zombies or other players Rareness: common How to use: press [RMB] and choose Eat food in the inventory window Blood restored: 200 from each can | |
ROASTED MEAT Where to find: dead animals, other players Rareness: - How to use: press [RMB] and choose Eat food in the inventory window Blood restored: 800 from each can |
Canned food is easiest to find in shops, while meat you have to find yourself. For that you will need a weapon, hunting knife, hatched and matches.
Firstly, you will have to hunt down an animal. The animals you can meet in DayZ are:
- Chicken (1 meat)
- Rabbits (1 meat)
- Goats (3 meat)
- Pigs/boars (4 meat)
- Sheep (5 meat
- Cows (8 meat)
After you hunt down an animal, the Gut animal option will appear on its corpse. After you gut it, Take Raw Meat should show up. In order to take the meat, you need to have a proper amount of free slots in your inventory (you can't take a given amount of meat, only all of it at once).
Afterwards approach a tree, open your inventory and [RMB] on the hatchet, choosing Harvest Wood.
A wood pile will appear in your inventory. Now press the RMB on the matches and choose Make Fireplace. Afterwards you need to use the mouse wheel to open the fireplace menu and choose to light the fire.
After starting the fireplace, jut use the default action Cook meat to cook all the meat that you have in your inventory.
