Snipers are a huge problem in all shooters, and it’s no different in DayZ. You have to watch out for other players waiting for you on building roofs, bushes, or hills. However, there is a solution. The best way to hide is with a Ghillie Suit, and in this guide, we’ll run you through how to make a Ghillie Suit in DayZ.
With a single bullet, you can lose all the loot you’ve been collecting for hours. Or vice versa, you can have another player’s treasure with a single bullet. How you use it is up to you, but it’s essential to learn how to craft a Ghillie Suit in DayZ to best protect yourself.
This is where the popular survival game’s liberating mechanics come into play. You can craft each piece separately, or you can produce the whole set at once. Read on to find out the items you need for the Ghillie Suit.
How to Craft Ghillie Suit in DayZ
To craft a Ghillie Suit in DayZ, you’ll need 10 Burlap Strips and 4 Netting for a complete set. Players can get Burlap Strips by cutting Burlap Sack with a knife or any other sharp tool. You can find these sacks in industrial buildings or hangars.
You will have to spend a little more time to get the 4 Netting you need. You can collect nets around boats at the coast. Some of the boats in the game can be found in these areas: Drakon, Three Valleys, Balota, Rify, Kamyshovo, and Berezhki.
Once you find the materials you need, you can make your Ghillie Suit. Follow the steps below to craft it:
- Open your inventory and find the Burlap Strips
- Drag it to Netting
- Select the option to craft the suit in the drop-down menu.
There is an important detail you should not forget about the Ghillie Suit. You will not be able to wear a backpack while wearing this outfit.
If you don’t want to make the Ghillie Suit complete set, you can craft any of its four different pieces. The materials you need for all pieces are different from each other.
| Piece | Items | Coverage | Disadvantage |
| Ghillie Top | 6 Burlap Strips and 3 Netting | Upper body | Your legs will still be visible |
| Ghillie Bushrag | 4 Burlap Strips and 2 Netting | Shoulders | You can’t wear a backpack |
| Ghillie Hood | 2 Burlap Strips and 1 Netting | Head | Your body will still be visible |
| Ghillie Gun Wrap | 2 Burlap Strips and 1 Netting | Guns | Your body will still be visible |
With your new Ghille Suit, you’re better prepared to take on the treacherous world of DayZ. However, you best be equipped to cure sickness in case anything goes wrong out there.
