[GUIDE] Vehicles & Repair (2024)

Vehicles & Repair

Introduction

This guide will address every possible aspect of vehicles in DayZ. Why do you need vehicles? Obviously to transport yourself from point A to point B faster and usually safer than on foot. Vehicles also serve as storage space and can hold good amount of items in them, making them a must have for any serious organized group of survivors in DayZ.

Repair requirements and repair parts

Each vehicle will require certain set of parts applied on it to make it functional. Some parts like "Engine Parts" are essential while other like "Windscreen Glass" are completely optional and only provide visual change.

Repair parts types

All vehicle parts are found within Industrial buildings which range from large factories to small industrial shacks. The only exception is Jerry can which along with Industrial buildings can be found in farms and barns. Here is complete list of vehicle repair parts available in DayZ:

Wheeled vehicles repair

Minimal set of repair parts to make wheeled vehicle work is 4 "Car Wheels" (2 for bikes) and 1 "Jerry Can", this will let you drive the vehicle, but beware, having broken engine (ENG icon in top left) will burn your car along with anyone inside after few minor bumps or bullet hits, driving such vehicle is suicidal. To repair engine you obviously need "Engine Parts" which is quite difficult to find but will make your vehicle fully usable. Rest of repair parts on wheeled vehicles are "Fueltank Parts" and "Scrap Metal" (used to repair body) but these are mostly optional though having broken fuel tank will make your car leak fuel after bullet hits. As it mentioned before installing "Windscreen Glass" (you usually need several of these) is completely optional and will not give your car anything other than visual changes. Lets summarize:

Required:

- Car Wheels (х4 or х2 for bikes)

- Jerry Can

Strongly recommended:

- Engine Parts

Advised to have:

- Fueltank parts

- Scrap metal (to repair Body)

Optional:

- Windscreen Glass (several of these)
