Spend a few lives getting used to how you can move safely around zombies and where certain items spawn. Once you know how to avoid zeds, then you can gear up and head north.

In fact, spend some time learning how to determine north at day or night, study the map. don't bother with the southern cities unless your on a low pop server. Then head north. There are several good loot sites spread out across the map, so you SHOULD be safe.

Remember this: You aren't safe anywhere.

That's not your gear in your bag, you are just holding it for some person in the future who will hopefully do you the courtesy of at least searching your body after they kill you.

Your "score" is how long you can go without that happening.

Welcome to Day-Z.

Take your time to read through this forum, there are many questions similar to yours allready answered.

And you can check out the GuideZ channel for the Quick Start guides, though they are intended for players who are a bit more used to zeds. Still, helpful stuff there.

Just learn the map! Where cities are, where good items are, just explore the map at the start man. Learn that thing like its your back yard.

Also dont be scared to check some youtube videos, tips,etc..

What I find to work well is when I spawn down south I will stay there ONLY until I find a gun and enough food/drink to get up north a little.

Balota and Cherno are not bad places to check out when you are starting off because if you die you dont lose anything and there is enough in those two places to get you started with a gun and some supplies. As soon as you have a gun and a few more things head up north! Explore!

Also practice going very slow in cities, playing it very stealth until you get a few things. And last but not least... SHOOT FIRST AGAINST HUMANS!! If they dont ask you "FRIEND OR ENEMY?" they most likely will shoot you, so dont be scared to play a little defensive to survive!

Good luck!

I would say "no" to this. You have nothing to lose: Run the heck around a city, gear up, and get the heck out. The longer you stay, the more likely you will die.

You can see how quick you can gear up in the Quick Start Cherno guide on the GuideZ channel.
