Found this post on Reddit. Should be useful to new players, like me:

That's nice except farming cloth without a knife takes forever, zombies hardly ever drop those bags. And I still have yet to see any scrap metal anywhere.

No way you're getting all that done before you get murdered.
 
I love the pvp, even if its sometimes frustrating with KOS it adds to the tention.
Zombies are still easy mode and wolfs meh.
But bears, i hate those fuckers.
They keep cominy after you even if i run trough houses and jump on cars like a frikin freerunner.
Its like 2 hits and you dead.

If your a EU player its acrually better to be on a US server, when you guys are asleep i can loot in peace.
And the timeframe we can play together is fun.

Bears are like the zombies from the DayZ mod, except they kill you with two hits and follow you through everything. If one aggros on you and you don't have a gun to kill it you're dead. :/

I shot you, but I didn't fire until someone from your group fired. You also had your bow drawn on one of us.

*edit* you were still standing after the first shot, you dropped at the second shot (mine).

It is true, I did have my bow drawn. I'll see you guys tonight, please don't KOS "PhreakerGAF" :)

Anyone else experiencing bugs where other players are invisible to you but they see you ? Or that they are standing in one place staticly, you can kill them, but they are actually walking around, not standing in that spot, have had this bug multiple times, and died because of not seeing the enemy. Not a cheat though, as i have had this with friends multiple times, not sure if it is server specific, really annoying, lost a AR-15 with 60 bullets to some Lithuanians this way ;(

Yeah bears are no joke. I was getting chased by one that got me down to 18% when this dude decides to kill me instead of getting far away. I spawned nearby and got my stuff and his lol.

Hahaha nice. I spawned and had one chasing me at nighttime through the woods. I found a cabin and thought I was safe when I closed the door. Looked for supplies in it and all of a sudden I get hit and see the bear behind me/hit again and dead.

Looking for some gaffers to play with so I joined the steam group. Do you guys mainly use BeEatNU's teamspeak or using in game chat?

Here's my quick getting started guide.

  1. shred pants
  2. shred shirt
  3. make satchel
  4. find sticks
  5. make bow
  6. make arrows
  7. pick dozens of blackberries

That should get you set up enough to where you're a bit of a threat and ready to go.

Thanks for the tip. I'm hoping to pick this game up this weekend.

This is probably a stupid question, but if you shred your pants and shirt does the character model actually reflect that you have no clothes on? I've never noticed this on anyone's stream yet?

Listen here sonny jim. Iv(we've) been building bases for a long time. Its all about making a plan and working with what youve got.
Idea
Outcome

People are just throwing shit around and not even trying. But whatever. Honestly its better not having a base.
Bases are fine for large groups that'll have at least 3 people on at any given moment.

There's a base white(ish) shirt and blue jeans when you're not wearing anything.

I would also recommend building a machete pretty quickly, all you need is sheet metal which spawns at construction sites commonly.

2x Sheet Metal
2x Wood Plank

It's a real 2000/2000 machete that can cut down trees.

Sheet metal can also be made by melting broken metal items into metal bars in a furnace.

A base is a beacon for any passing by. Making it a focal point for confrontation. Breaking in is super easy or they could just build around your base. Taking down doors is easy with the right tools(even metal ones). Or they can just jump the wall.


For right now the best bet is to make stashes around the map and make note of them.

Punji spikes are extremely helpful for this, you can overlap punji spikes over and over and anyone trying to break down a wall will die before they are capable of doing so.
 
game doesn't let me shred pants? the counter goes but i only get the 4 cloth from shredding the shirt

Do you have anything in your pants?
=P


Seperate. I lost my prone key while trying to rebind it to left ctrl. What do I need to type in? Control, left_ctrl, ctrl? Haven't been able to figure it out.
