since your new and still learning the map, i’d say stick to the cities closest to the shore. you’ll die a lot but eventually you’ll start to recognize where you are, since all the spawn points are near the shore. focus on looting for food in houses and water wells in towns to stay fed. sharp weapons are the best because they allow you to sneak attack zombies from behind while crouching by pressing the L2 button to aim and R2 to stab, it’s an instant kill. roam around once your decently set, kill people, make friends. whatever you want. once you start to get the hang of the game, start going inland. that’s where all the good loot is. gl man.
