I spawn for the first time in DayZ’s Frostline DLC shivering in a field. It’s too cold for me to be outside in cropped hiking pants and a t-shirt and yet here I am. If I don't warm up soon, I’ll die. I look out across the frigid wasteland and spot a couple of huts jutting out against the sky.
There’s no time for a cautious approach. My thirst and hunger bars are draining but the biggest threat here is the bitter cold, not the zombies scattered across the Sakhal coastline. I find a warm hat and a pair of gloves which makes me slightly less likely to freeze to death, but then I have another issue: I’m famished, thirsty and, based on the constant sniffling of my character, sick.
