DayZ field wiki · Start
No jump
There is no jump button
Short answer
DayZ does not jump. You vault, you climb, you get stuck. Space is melee, not a hop.
Also: jump · spacebar · no jump in dayz
How it works
The game will not hop a fence because you tapped space. Vaulting is a hold and a check. Space from a raised fist is a punch.
What to do
Learn vault. Learn the window. Learn that a curb can eat you. See melee for the punch.
Don't
Don't bind jump from another game and then blame the bush.
