Players can cook meals, boil water, and light things on fire when they know how to use it correctly. There are a variety of methods for starting fires, some more straightforward than others, just as there are in the real world. How to build a campfire in DayZ and what it can be used for are covered below.
Depending on what players have managed to scavenge, some of the ways to craft a campfire in DayZ are much easier than others. To create a fire, you will need three items: kindling, fuel, and a fire-starter. Once you have all of these materials in your inventory, you can use the fire-starter to light the kindling and then continually add fuel to the now-lit campfire.
In DayZ, the most common kindling items are paper, rags, and bark, and to acquire them, you typically need a sharp tool or knife. Crafting rags is as easy as chopping up clothes lying around, while gathering bark is as easy as going up to a tree with a sharp instrument. Players will be able to remove tree bark when a prompt appears. After collecting tinder, the next thing is to find the fire-source.
General information about materials, which can be used for creating fire in DayZ:
Tools of the Job Color Coordinates Energy Saver Road Hazard
The Hand Drill Kit is a good alternative if you are having problems scavenging for matches, lighters, or road flares inside buildings. Combine some Bark with a short stick to create a Hand Drill Kit. All you have to do is walk up to any bush on the map, scavenge a Long Stick, and break it in half to obtain a Short Stick. You won't have to steal any more firestarting tools once you make this Hand Drill Kit.
With the kindling obtained, any of the above-mentioned objects can be used to start a campfire. The problem is that we don't have enough gasoline to keep this fire going for very long.
A fireplace can be crafted with only two components: kindling and fuel, which can be anything from a short stick to firewood. The players can create and place the fireplace by combining the objects in their inventory. Any fire-starter will suffice. Players who don't want to make the effort of creating a fireplace can still light a fire in DayZ by laying out the kindling on the ground and lighting it with a fire starter, as mentioned earlier.
Starting and sustaining a fire is so common among players in DayZ; it is now time to learn the numerous uses of fire.
It is now time for the players to light up their fire and cook them some delicious meat, hopefully not human. As with everything in DayZ, there are several ways to cook food. One is by roasting the meat using a stick over an open flame. This is achieved by making a Sharpened Stick through the joining of a Knife and a Long Stick. Items needed in this scenario for cooking meat over an open fire include the Sharpened Stick, meat, and kindling.
After that, players can prepare food in DayZ by putting a Cooking Tripod and a Cooking Pot or Frying Pan over the fire. Using three sticks- two short and one long, players can craft a cooking tripod, and cooking pots are found all over the place. After the players attach the Cooking Tripod to the fire, they can use it to hang their Cooking Pot and prepare meals this way.
Cooking food in DayZ is risky because the extreme light and smoke can easily give out your position. One of the ways to mitigate the risk would be to find a hideout, well away from any highly concentrated areas in the map.
Now that you know how to start a Fire in Dayz, apply this guide and continue to take advantage of everything this game offers.
