Really need help

[TheMedic 58]

So after four days of trying and dying I eventually made it into a high value barn where I FINALLY found some supplies and a hatchet; I could finally defend myself. I decided to not go to far as I was planning to leave and logged off behind a pile of hay on the upper area. When I came back my character for some reason was spawned at the top of ceiling causing me to fall to my death.

I've tried a couple times since then to get to a high value barn or home but each time I die by player or zed. Would any kind person be willing to bequeath me a hatchet so I can get going again? PM please, any details do not need to be spread to any possible bandits.

I am not going to come to you to give you a hatchet, but what i can do is give you some tips :)

1. you got nothing on you, Go to ELEKTROGORSK its the best town, Dont care about being silent or if you have zombies after you, Zombies will usually bug themselfs in the buildings, so if you run trough buildings you will loose them, Just spring while looking around for players.

2. Go to the supermarket first, pick up what you need, such as Alice bags, food, soda, Tools and perhaps a weapon in the storage behind the desk.

3. Cross the street over into the appartments, just crouch run trough all the rooms in it, stand up when you walk up the stairs so you dont loose speed, then crouch again when youre finished walking up or down the stairs.

4. If you successfully survived that, then run to the firestation North of supermarket and west of supermarket, they are really easy to get to, but beware, there are usually people there, but you can find good weapons in firestations like Akm, Ak47, m4Sd, mp5sd, gps, ammo and such.

5. if you are outside a town and you have alot of zombies after you, just run trough a dense forest, they will stop at a tree and klusterfuck at eachother while you run out of their reach. ive used this method several times, and it works each time.

6. Raid the hospital in Elektro, its close to the supermarket and Appartments, you can see the hospital because it has large windows close to the sidewalk, break the Glass all the way to the left, when you do this all the other glass will break too, loot the cardboard boxes, there is usually 10 Bandages, 5 morphine, 5 epi-pens, 5 blood bags, 5 painkillers and the rare Antibiotics.

7. if you need ammo, go to balota medical/millitary camp. its close to the road just outside balote towards Chernogorsk, the Balota airfield is close to the camp. The zombies there drop ammo, and the 4 deer stands spawn ammo and food. watch out for players closeby.

8. Dont take your chances on killing someone who has already seen you, i have died several times because i tried to kill someone that i knew had already seen me. also if youre in a firefight with a bandit and he suddenly stops moving and you cant kill him, run and hide closeby, and keep visual contanct. People ALT+F4 then reconnect to kill you.

Hope you enjoy your stay here :)

Would it be frowned upon to "respawn" until in such a position? I'm currently stuck north of Komarovo and that trip could take awhile.

Managed to move from Komarovo to Balota and successfully raided the medium value industrial building near the dock/wharf. I ended up with some ammo, bandages, a hatchet, and a few other items. Time to quietly move on to the airfield when attendance is low on a nearby server.

I figured after I had armed up then maybe go take on Elektro buuuuuuut in the mean time there's other places to go and other items to raid. Can zeds run through hangars at the airfields?

Yeah :)

deerstands are your best friends in the early game.

One way in, one way out at the deer stands; wouldn't that trap you if zeds start climbing the ladder and you have no weapon?
