1. If you have broken a bone and have no morphine, expect to be killed by zombies or players. If this happens, just respawn because if you hit this point you are fucked. 2. Find an in-game map (It's an item) as fast as possible for all players on your squad in addition to a watch and compass if possible. This makes a rendezvous with other players much easier and gives you reference points without having to alt+tab and look at the website map. If you aggro a zombie and have no weapon, run into a building because zombies can only walk in buildings and it makes getting away much easier. Side Note: It does not take 20 minutes to re-spawn, go back to the lobby when you get the death message and then re-enter the server. 3. Zombies spawning in front of or near players is fairy rare unless you are inside a building and this glitch is being worked on. Please LOOK UP tips to play a game before playing it, especially in this case. If you don't know what you're doing and don't know some intermediate mechanics of the game system, you are going to get fucked repeatedly in DayZ. Dying is going to happen, and losing good gear still happens because of bugs occasionally. This game is the definition of survival and that's why we play it, you're going to be under a lot of stress and shit happens.
