Ep.161 NEW YEAR, NEW SURVIVOR! DayZ Resolutions, Tactical PVP Goals & The 2026 Bingo Card

Welcome to the first proper DayZ podcast of 2026! We’re shaking off the holiday cobwebs and looking ahead at what we want to achieve in the wasteland this year. Whether it's becoming a more lethal marksman or finally checking off a "Human Steak" box on a card, we’ve got big plans for the apocalypse.

We dive into our personal goals, tactical improvements, and the return of a certain high-stakes community challenge.

🎙️ Our 2026 Survival Resolutions:

• Dave’s Tactical Overhaul: Dave breaks down his plan to become a ghost in the woods. He’s focusing on better player spotting, advanced tracking techniques, and finally mastering long-distance PVP engagements.

• The Bingo Card Returns: Andy is back with a brand new DayZ Bingo Card for the year! What ridiculous challenges have made the cut this time?

• The 2025 Audit: We look back at last year’s card. Did Andy actually finish it, or are there some "un-looted" boxes still haunting him?

• Setting Your Own Goals: How to keep the game fresh after thousands of hours—tips for setting your own survival milestones.
