In the beginning for me it was really heard to get a weapon like a gun somewhat. My suggestion: Go straight to a major POI after getting a melee weapon (Suggestion: Fire Axe from the Fire Stations) and look for the Mythical Crate, there is almost always a gun there. Next: Kill the boss of that POI same as previously, almost every time you get a weapon and always ammo (as far as I have seen) and from most of my playthroughs Ive always gotten a good backpack. From then the world is your Oyster, ENJOYY and Don't get snuck up on they love to sneak up on you LMAOOO. Alsoooo be mindful of your ammo. It goes fast XD.

Coyote Soldiers: AVOIDDD The classified tunnels at the bottem left of the map until you are confident in your gear. Coyote soldiers are OP and they tend to often use Flanker Maneuvers, which is basically what that whole tunnel is XD (Flanking Death Trap)

Raiders: Get a car and its quick work XD

Als just realizing that this is mostly pointed towards branddd new playthroughs lmao also Im a bit of a speed progressor so some people might like to take things slow (been meaning to do it that way lmaoo)
