Quick item summary
Quick answer
The Ghillie Suit is the full-body ghillie camouflage option in DayZ. It is designed to conceal the survivor in natural environments and is best for stealth, sniping, scouting, and ambush playstyles. The tradeoff is that it uses the back slot, which means you cannot wear a backpack with it.
