I read all the way through it and it kept referring to this basic equipment, 'your pistol, canteen' etc. I don't have any of those things. I start with pain pills, bandages and a torch. Was it an update that has taken that basic equipment away? Or is it a fault of my installation? Some other noobish questions that are optional answers are; Where can I find a weapon? I found a crowbar and equipped it but cannot hit infected with it? Is there a specific place I should go too to make friends to play with? I'm using the keypad to talk to people on the map for advise and no one responds, am I doing something wrong or are they not responding? Before all the 1337's here start getting aggressive, I do apologise. I'm just trying to get some bearings so I know what I'm slightly doing. Thank you for all support given here, thank you so much :)
