I was about to make the same suggestion. it makes sense as nobody would be walking around with an axe as a primary weapon when he has a rifle. Pistols and melee weapons are like short range weapons anyway

Sadly I tried running out of there and the canada 2 option but both didn't work as the game failed to save after i reached "civilisation" so i respawned and got killed within 10 mins by zombies while laying prone at night, learnt a new lesson without much loss

But won't starting without a gun make it even easier for beanie thieves? I won't be surprised if some players kill unarmed ppl

It really depends on personal luck, I found a M1014 in the hangar and at the control tower, an AK74

i found a knife once in the power plant outside electro

Num 0 too

Just got one last night. Couldn't pitch it in a field too. the ground must be damn flat it seems

3: Single use/short use portable gas burners for warming water 4: Single use heat packs that keep you warm on the go for a certain time limit 5: Running for a long time increases your body heat for a while but increases your hunger rate

Started playing dayz a few days ago and was still just north of cherno before the server restarted me at electro at night! That session was intense, lots of ppl shooting and flares all over the place. I eventually sneaked by patch of beach near the docks which were pitch dark. I intend to go further north today as I ran into bandits at the power plant. Luckily they were poor shots and I missed them in the hills

Wow, I go to sleep and there's 2 patches when I wake up. Good job!

Looks like the new patch adds more ways you can die from

Ok 1st was a noobish unfortunate accident after I fell from the outer staircase at Rog. So I respawned at Cherno and rushed to Rog. On the way, was shot at by bandits 5 times near the power plant at electro, wasn't hit and lost them in the hilly woods....I reached Rog and fortunately nobody looted the body so I was able to retrieve most of my stuff but due to a bug, i lost my ALICE pack.... so after looting the ruin castle, i found a bino! So I descended the hill towards kamyshovo and lay prone onto some rocks to scan the town with my new bino... next thing I knew, I glitched through the rock and broke my legs! Now I know what they meant when they say ROCKS ARE DEADLY! Damn dead again in less than an hour..... But guessed what? I respawned just outside kamyshovo and took me moments to reach my corpse.... so a good tip I guess is to try and die in hidden but easily identifiable places XD I just need to get a new pack and NVG now

you could use game booster (external 3rd party program) to see if it helps

I was lucky to find mine on a player corpse in the bushes. I found one in the power plant near electro
