You have to unbox the ammo by taking it into your hand, then coming out inventory screen and hold RT 5.56 is for the M4 to get magazine out of gun, put gun on floor (vicinity) and then highlight the magazine and press Y

or the order you do it! bark from tree sharpened stick in hand combine I think

the drills don't always work. Although mine have everytime I've done it. I think they are meant to be a hit and miss object so doesn't work 100% of the time meaning you need to craft another one.

took me about an hour to figure it out. but it's pretty simple once you do it once. My advice is don't do it out in the open as it draws a lot of attention I had 3 people try an sneak up on me on my 1st fire! I did a step by step guide in New player discussion bit on how to cook Oh you already commented on it haha

The way forward is chickens (and other animals). You just need a knife to skin it after which will give you 2 chicken breast which you can then cook with a fire. Much easier than scavaging food especially at the start

I ran into a building that had 4 in one room the other day!!

Glad it's all back up and running! Did you guys fix the magazine loading? If not mine is somehow now magically working!! woohoo full auto here I come!!

the fireman axe can be used... bit overkill for a can of tuna :)

I'm guessing you guys aren't playing the trial? there is no character saving on the trial play.

I actually find the US servers are the most stable for me... I'm also in the UK

I always try to help people. Problem is the etiquette of meeting people. If you run up to someone with an axe or knife in hand you are likely to get shot. If you stand at distance then you are probably safe, well with me anyway. I am yet to shoot at someone who hasn't attacked or shot at me first. I always give new players food and water if I have it as well as weapons.

I agree. i havent even found it yet but even if I did I'd still use the map on my phone as I play so I can try and get my bearings. No cheats only winners.

because there is a map... you just have to find it.

I didn't say anything about PvE or PVP, it is all part and parcel of the game. I think as far as PvE goes it is hard to survive at the start but that's how it should be, the PVP aspect is also hard but enjoyable in my opinion as it's the unknown variable in it all

So many people saying the game is too hard, we need a map, the hunger dehydration rate is too much etc etc. if you need/want these things then dare I say you are playing the wrong game. This game is different to any other survival game I've played, it's meant to be hard! If you want an easy survival game go play PUBG or something that way you don't have to worry about starvation, disease or even zombies... I love this game even in its current state on the Xbox, as I know it will only get better. There is something about it that really gets your adrenaline going when you haven't seen another person for ages and suddenly you are confronted with someone in front of you, with no idea if they are friendly or if they have ammo in the gun in their hand.... You don't get that uncomfortable awkward feeling in any other game I've played where you have to decide to be friendly at the cost of your life or to be a barst*rd and just KoS. Don't get me wrong it's glitchy as hell at the moment but if the fundamentals of the game aren't to your liking I suggest you find another game.
