There are no fancy mini-maps here.
However, hard does not mean impossible, as you’re going to tackle these challenges by applying various survival techniques. Chernarus has dynamic weather which can become a challenge in and of itself. Aside from various enemies that inhabit this world, you’ll need to fight mother nature herself! It’s not a battle royale but it can quickly become one unless you play with friends (or even find some). Forget about the sense of security because in the world of DayZ you are always in constant danger: infected citizens, predatory animals, and hostile players make up only a fraction of threats that exist for you.
