In version 0.53 of DayZ‘s standalone one user found out how to easily and efficiently craft natural leather clothing. The stitched-together look of the natural leather will give your zombie-apocalypse survivor a Daniel Boone look to die for.
YouTuber k3nst3 dropped some info-bombs in a moderate seven-and-a-half minute video where he details how to gather up the materials, craft the clothing items and make good on the frontiersman look. Check out the video below.
So in case you have to keep the audio low for whatever reason, or you’re suffering from hearing impairment, the gist of the video is pretty simple…
You can get four tan leather pieces by hunting and killing deer. You can also get up to three tan leather pieces from killing cows. You’ll need a knife to carve the leather out of the hides of the dead animals.
Additionally, you’ll need a decent sewing kit so you can craft the natural leather into wearable clothing.
One of the really neat items crafted in the video is a leather vest. What makes it so neat? Well, the leather vest enables you to carry 12 items as it has 12 slots and can be worn over other clothing items. The only downside to the vest is that it suffers from some clipping issues. I guess we can expect that to be fixed in later builds.
You can also craft some natural leather pants but you’ll only get two usable slots out of the stitched-leather pants. And no, sadly they aren’t cheek-less chaps so if you wanted to be a Prince doppelganger you’ll have to find some other pants to fulfill that fantasy.
You can learn more about DayZ or pick up a digital copy of the game by paying a visit to the official website. And keep on rocking that natural leather look. If you can nab a six-shooter and gruff up your voice on the mic, you’ll be a natural shoe-in for a Red Dead Redemption role-play.
