In this DayZ guide, we will show you all the important information about the blood type table, healing & how to regain your blood quickly. This article was freshly updated for version 1.19.
What's the matter with the blood? Blood in DayZ is not directly connected to the life bar, but makes you stronger or weaker, faster or slower, colored or gray, depending on your status. If you have low blood levels, you will also suffer continuous shock damage that deletes your existence. You can lose blood due to wounds and diseases in the game.
There are so many blood types in DayZ. In fact, the blood type chart is just like in the real world. Because DayZ does not combine any blood type. If you know which blood types are compatible in real life, you will also know how it works in DayZ -- if not, then here is a blood type table:
| Receiver | Donor | |||||||
| 0- | 0+ | A- | A+ | B- | B+ | AB- | AB+ | |
| 0- | ||||||||
| 0+ | ||||||||
| A- | ||||||||
| A+ | ||||||||
| B- | ||||||||
| B+ | ||||||||
| AB- | ||||||||
| AB+ | ||||||||
What you need for blood bags: In order to make blood bags that your friends or you really heal, you have to gather some items. You will find each of these medical items in large quantities:
First, you test yourself and your recipient or donor using a rapid blood type test. You can check whether you are compatible or not in the blood type chart above. It is also sufficient if you draw your blood, since update 1.14. The filled blood bag will then show you which blood type you have in DayZ.
If your blood type is compatible, you grab the collection set and draw blood from yourself or your friend. But before you administer it, you have to combine it with an IV starter kit to create a blood bag IV.
What happens if the blood type is wrong? If you accidentally - or intentionally - give your friend the wrong blood type via transfusion, the consequences are serious. Such an error is fatal in most cases. The recipient keeps losing blood until he ends up dying.

There is more than one way to regenerate blood in DayZ and you certainly don't need a blood type chart for this -- so listen: In addition to the blood bag, you still have the option to escape from any fighting, to wait, and to eat enough. There are different types of food. The healing process begins even with low satiety and thirst-quenching of your character.
The fuller the symbols of food and liquid, the faster you heal yourself. Here you can see how big the difference is on the spectrum. Note that the maximum saturation is 7500 and the maximum liquid is 5000:

What are the benefits of a saline bag: A saline solution or saline bag IV is another way to replenish your blood level in DayZ. The pack instantly heals up some of your health points and blood and makes it easier for your digital body to regenerate more blood. A Saline-Bag-IV or saline solution can also give you relief from dehydration -- even if only slightly.
