Since update 1.12 there are over 40 different foods and drinks in DayZ, but which food is actually the best?
We’ll show you: In this guide to DayZ we will answer your questions like: Which food makes you most full? How much do you actually have to drink until you are fully hydrated? How much hunger such a beverage can actually eliminate, and much more! In the end, you will know which food and drinks are the best!
So you will be full! The best food in DayZ
You have to know that! In the current version 1.14 of DayZ you can only consume a certain amount of food and water.
- Max energy: 7500
- Max. Water: 5000
A bottle of water, for example, does not fill up any food, but gives you 1000 water. The same applies to the somewhat bulky canteen (Canteen). If you drink from the well once, you will get around 300 water.
