Tips:
-As you know when you start out you always have a flash light and a battery and nothing else. First step is to tear your shirt into rags. just in case you encounter a zombie early on.

-Find something to eat. its hard to find something that is not rotten, but you need to feed yourself. stack up on sodas, canned food, cantinas, etc. (remember try not to get rotten food cuz it will cause food poisioning)

-You need to get your hands on a melee weapon. I highly suggest getting the axe due to the fact that its the best way to take down a zombie and it can open your canned food if you dont have a can opener.

-find yourself a backpack. essential if you want to carry items.

-when searching for clothes, always try to find clothing that camoflauges you with the grass and forest.

-Search for a medpack and a ammo case, it helps by providing more space in your inventory.

-When you are in a town, make it quick and scout it before rushing in. they're might be a zombie you didnt notice or other players in the town who will likely kill you.

-when traveling always use the forest and not the road, helps you blend in and players won't see you easily.

-if a zombie is chasing you, you can out run it or fight it, the best way to fight it is go in circles around it hitting it so it cant hit you (avoid him facing you). If there is multiple zombies i highly recomend you out run them.

-Find police stations, military bases, and airfields for good equipment and weapons. WARNING: Do not stay there for too long cuz everyone is trying to get there and will likely kill you on the spot.
