I bought the game yesterday, and teamed up with my friend (also a new player). We looted Cherno, well, what little loot was there and eventually headed north with the help of my friend on Skype who has a wall map of Chernarus :). It was all pretty interesting until after about half an hour of walking through the countryside I became sick and my friend fell unconscious due to dehydration. After 3 hours of being alive, we found no guns and barely any food or water. I was eventually clubbed to death by a zombie trying to figure out how to blood bag myself. Am I doing something wrong or is loot incredibly rare? Motorcycle helmets are more common than edible items. Guns are nowhere to be seen and I have to hike for half an hour to get anywhere. I feel that I'm not having as much fun as I should. What am I doing wrong?
