DayZ Xbox One Campfire Guide, I'm the Firestarter Achievement

When it comes to cooking food in DayZ Xbox One edition, campfires are essential. This guide goes over the three core ways to start them and how to unlock the “I’m the firestarter” achievement within the game. The description for that is “Ignited fire using a matchbox, a road flare and a hand drill.” You can watch the video on this below, or follow the written instructions.

Requirements: Knife, Axe, Rags (similar burning material), a forest.

Creating a campfire
-Wood, taken from tree using an axe.
-Rags, spawn with or cut up clothing for.
=Combine Wood piece and rags to create campfire.

Matchbox
-You'll need to find a matchbox, these are common in standard houses. You just generally need to find a matchbox for it. Once you find one, create a campfire as shown above. Take the matchbox in hands, go over the campfire and hold RT to light it.

Flare
-You spawn with it, take it in the hand, ignite it. Then go over the campfire and hold RT to light it.

Hand Drill
-Go to a bush, cut it down using a sharp object. You'll get a long stick, use a knife on that stick to split it. Take the split wood pieces, combine it with bark. Tree bark is obtained by using a knife on a tree. Combine the split wood piece and the bark. Then go over the campfire and hold RT to light it.
