A Noobs Tale

[Wetardo 1]

Hello everyone. Been playing for a few days now and after dying numerous times, my current life is finally successful for once! Woohoo I learned. Hopefully the format is ok but im at work typing this on my phome. Hope ya enjoy and it brings back memories.

Anyways, after dying a couple times yesterday to basement dwellers shooting unarmed fresh spawns in cherno, I respawned near electro for the first time so decided to check it out. I had nothing to lose so figured what the hell, why sneak and crawl through the zombie hordes and just run like hell.

After attracting the attention of a good 20 plus zombies I finally found the store, hospital, church, and managed to lose my flesh eating friends. Lucky for me they are pretty dumb. Came out unscathed too, still sitting at 12 k blood :)

Score ! Plenty of food , water bottles, the essentials except a hunting knife which I couldnt find. Plenty of shotgun shells and various ammo plus a 1911 pistol to help with unwanted attention. I keep hearing or reading I should say how electro is deadly but I came out well stocked and in a good mood. Things were lookin good for once !

My journey northwest started as I booked out of town with another horde giving chase but eventually I lose them and come across a barn. After 3 undead get even deader I come out with a double barrel shotty and head on my way again toward the nw airfield.

After looting various tree stands and barns along the way with no decent loot except a backpack for more space I sort of see a vehicle on the road ahead of me. A bit nervous I sneak closer wondering if anything nasty is nearby. Hearing and seeing nothing I run up next to the bus as I've never seen one before. My mouse pointer turns into a steering wheel. Click. Fuck yeah ! Got me a bus which speeds up the travel by a lot :)

Next stop is a nearby town to refill my water and hopefully find some more food as I'm down to one can left. I sneak into the church first as they usually have good supplies and a zed spots me. Oh well its only one and I wait for it to get close before blowing its head off.

Uh oh. That was A LOT louder than my 45. 5 more show up. Then 5 more. And more. Ok I better start shooting. Blam Blam reload Blam Blam reload. Damn I'm down to a few shots after piling a good 20 bodies or so through the church pews. Ok time to run for it I think. 2 more shots to clear a path for my exit and I'm gone. Wounded and bleeding I'm back on my bus with the pedal to the floor.

Just outside of town where I almost died I spot a downed chopper on the side of the road. I read about these. Suposed to have good loot. Park it and get out. My plan was to crawl and not get spotted by the roaming dead but well, plans don't always go as planned.

4 slugs left. 8 zombies chasing me around the chopper and bus. Damn it. Ok 4 zombies and no ammo left. Damn. Oh wait this just might work out. Upon turning the bus around and getting it up to speed, a Lil road rage , and 4 more to my body count I cleared the chopper site of threats.

I was a bit disapointed with my loot from my first chopper spawn but I ended up with some silenced submachine gun. Starts with a b or something. Oh well I got a couple hundred bullets now, all I cared about. Next stop was the tree stand near the airport. Uneventful.

Sweeeeeet. I made it. Wow. Bigger than I thought too. Time to check out those big ass hangar bays.

Booooooring. An ak 74, flares, garbage ect ect. Next bay nothing good either....misc ammo and flares or smoke grenades. Disapointed again I take off as quickly as I can to get to tje buildings on the other side. Prolly wasn't the best idea but I did it anyways. It was 5 am and i wanted to get it over with. As yoiu can imagine. Zombies. Lots of em. And tjey are heading my way.

Just before I made myself a tasty target, my graphics started bugging out. Was getting this weird hmmm how to describe it. Like trees and buildings were turning to white pixels and that's it. Not wanting to battle the undead with half my screen fucked, I take off running back to my bus. Drive it into the woods and log off.

My adventure continues when I get home and my girl let's me play :P

The suppressed SMG you came across at the heli crash was probably a Bizon.

[Wetardo 1]

Ah yeah a bizon. That's it. Pretty nice cuz of the silenced and it is my first military weapon. I'm sitting at like 5 k blood and the white screen is definately not cuz of it. It's just not gray. It's more of a non transparent white mass of pixels that are suposed to be colored in. I really need to find me a hunting knife so i can cook some meat before I die......again.

There's tons of different graphical glitches right now. They are common at airfields and big cities (I get them in Berezino a lot). Sometimes adjusting the graphical setting will fix them.

and if that doesn't work. Try flushing a few times (not guaranteed to work): Hold Left shift +click numpad minus. then type flush. Make sure your hidden as well you basicly flush all the graphics. For me its usually 3-7 times if not screw the loot

[Wetardo 1]

the flush trick didnt work , nor did changing my graphic settings. it seems to only glitch out when im facing south. On a side note, I'm still alive and runnin around lookin for stuff. Got a few questions this time around though.

My bus wasnt there when i logged in today. someone stole it i assume? thought i hid it pretty well.

These military camps that i read about with nvg and range finders and guille suits. The map i use ( android app ) doesnt seem to mark them. any hints trips and or tricks to find the cool stuff ?

Did you rejoin the same server you played on when you had the bus? Vehicles will not move with you between servers.
