You may get some random new spawns to "befriend" you but more likely they will cause more grief for u attracting zombies and being dead the whole time without much game knowledge. players who are not new spawns and have some game experience already will more likely be more interested in a murder count from killing you and taking your gear than being your friend. also if you offer them all of the gear you mentioned before they will look at it in 2 ways either 1) he has all that gear? hes gonna kill me if i give him chance. 2) if hes willing to give me all that he must have awsome gear ill kill him and find out. both are lose for you :P so your greatest chance is shoot,kill=live :)
