perforin 11 Posted July 16, 2012 Wait a second...I thought we were supposed to start with a pistol in our packs?All I get is,a backpack,a flashlight,painkillers,and a bandage.How am I supposed to beat down a zombie with a flashlight?You mean I have to find a gun,searching around in the darkness,with nothing but a flashlight for defence?

govnogaming 52 Posted July 16, 2012 It'll take you 10 minutes to find a gun in Cherno or Elektro. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baked Beans Baby 2 Posted July 16, 2012 I am a new player also, I spawned near Elektro and then I quickly looted the market and the pub, then went to the firestation, in less than 15 minutes I've got plenty food and drink, a makarov, an akm and some medical supplies and now I am good to go. Just try to be as stealthy as you can when you first start off and go prone a lot to ensure no zombies will aggro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DAS1337 20 Posted July 16, 2012 You should spend more time looking for weapons and less time complaining on the forums about not having a weapon =D...You should spend more time helping new players rather than insulting them. It does not make you look cool.To the OP. I would suggest playing on an altered time server, so that you can see where you are going. I've been playing for quite a while and I never play on a dark server. It's dumb. See that Rocket? That part of the game is dumb. Fix it please.Anyways, and yes Rocket, keep reading. Players should be spawned with melee weapons. Not hatchets, but something that you can defend yourselves with. As survivors, we should have had some means to survive to this point. It only makes sense and it gives new players something that they can defend themselves with. No one really wants to run around with only a melee weapon, but at least it's something. Right now, you get nothing. You don't get food either. So, basically, you need to run through buildings with back exits to slow zombies down and try to lose their line of sight around buildings. They will sometimes stop and search around. I would also suggest crouch running when you are fleeing other zombies, but there are more fairly close to you. They usually can't hit you much when you are moving because they have to stop to swing at you. Just try not to aggro other Zeds while you're trying to get away.Don't forget to bandage yourself when bleeding... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
