DayZ is one of the most popular survival games and continues to stand out for its realism. If you get sick or injured in this game, you need to be treated. Otherwise, you can lose your character very quickly. Our topic today is broken bones, which are one of those injuries. Let’s take a look together at how to fix a broken leg in DayZ.

New updates not only fix the game but also add new content. With update 1.10, you can now break your bones in DayZ. If you don’t want to be easy prey for zombies and your enemies afterward, you should get your leg treated immediately.

How to Fix a Broken Leg in DayZ

If you jump from a high place, your legs may break depending on the height. Since you can’t run in this situation, you should put on a splint as soon as possible. And you should have a place to rest, because it’ll take time for your bones to knit together.

Follow these steps to treat broken bones in DayZ:

  1. Collect one bandage and two short sticks.
  2. Craft a Splint for your broken bones.
  3. Apply the Splint to your leg.
  4. Rest a while without fighting.

You need to follow these steps to start running again. Remember that broken bones take some time to heal. You won’t see the effect immediately when you take a medicine, like with the diseases in DayZ. If you don’t know how to craft a splint in DayZ, keep reading.

You can make a splint with two sticks and four bandages.

How to Make a Splint in DayZ

You won’t need splints unless you break your bones in DayZ. In this case, you can make it immediately with some material. Materials you’ll need to make a splint in DayZ:

  • 4 x Rags and 2 x Short Sticks
  • (Or) 1 x Bandage and 1 x Short Stick

You can easily find these materials all over the map that you need for almost everything. When you have enough material, follow these steps to make a splint:

  1. Open your inventory and equip two short sticks.
  2. Then combine the bandage or four rags with the sticks.
  3. Close your inventory and select “Craft Splint” from the crafting menu.
  4. After crafting the splint, open your inventory again. You’ll see it in the Vicinity section.
  5. Choose the splint and apply it to your leg.

You can now wait for your fractures to heal and your bones to fuse. Calm down and rest well during this waiting period, which lasts twice as long without a splint. In order for broken bones to heal completely in DayZ, you need to reach the following values:

  • 5000 Health
  • 5000 Blood
  • 4000 Food
  • 2600 Water

Keep in mind that you will not be able to run even if you do a splint until your bones are fully healed. But at the same time, you can drive and climb.
