In one case I ran all the way to Vybor and through a few towns without attracting attention and staying away from a player. There I got an enfield and makarov. Feeling motivated I went to the airfield and found an M4A1.(Lost it to some ninja bandit) Was pretty simple to evade zombies if taken slow. Many complain about Elecktro and Cherno, but the only real problem there would be the players, not the zombies. Just need to take things slower. Even so, thanks to the line of sight I rolled around in prone on a hill through some bushes and actually lost a zombie that aggro'd me.
