No loot

[JonSch581 1]

I played this game probably 10 years ago and there were plenty of items to find. I recently installed it on Xbox and I can't get past the initial spawn cities without dying. I was in a larger town and only managed to get 2 cans of food but had nothing to open them with. Why are items so scarce now and will you ever change it?

It depends on the servers your playing on, sometimes it be like that haha. As for the not finding knifes remember you can find sledgehammer,meat tenderizer,crowbar,pickaxe to mine large rocks to collect stones. Using those same rocks you can turn your stones into knifes, now you can open your cans. As for the good loot I've come to realize you just gotta stick to the trees early game once you get your essentials and head to a spot on the map that has military tents, military barracks, police stations, etc. Good luck 👍

Use the "Izurvive" online map, if you don't already know it, it helps a lot, especially if you don't know the game well. The fruits of the trees should be your first quest, simple to find, and give you some energy/liquid. Then in the houses you can find boxes with a tear-off opening. You can eat dog and cat food, you know that right? Also other types of food with tear-off opening. With this you manage to stay alive and recover some energy.
Especially when you're new, remember that vitamin pills give you immunity to disease for eating raw meat, as long as you have the pill symbol. It's convenient and fast if you find them when you're just born, you can eat chickens and animals without just having to cook them. Avoid unfamiliar meat, I've been sick even from fully sated and on vitamin pills (I did it for testing).
Later, in my opinion, animal meat was reduced too much, it no longer deserves to go hunting, rather it deserves to go fishing. On the coast you could find hooks and fishing rods (which you could also build, the former with animal bones and the latter with rope and stick). With a knife you find the worms and with everything you fish. Carp or mackerel give a fair nutritional value.
