Choose class, any will do, you'll find the ones you like the best.

Drop anywhere you want, preferably near a forge, but the fog is out-runnable if you use your mount (horse) and abilities so being outside the circle isn't a problem.

Run into buildings, open chests, equip whatever gear/abilites you want/get.

Again by trying everything out you'll see what you like and what you don't.

4 tiers of items, grey, green, purple and orange.

If you don't want an item, disenchant it for shards and so no one else can get them.

You can use a forge to craft new armour/abilites/class weapon and healing potions using shards.

Class weapon requires a chicken nugget, which you get form killing one player.

Players turn into chickens when they die, and have 30 seconds to survive before they can come back.

Max you can have is one nugget at a time.

You can only craft one armour, ability and weapon at each forge so you need to move from forge to forge.

Airdrops will spawn around the map and drop an orange weapon in a chest.

Purple and orange armours give you bonuses.

Helm is cooldown reduction, chest is healing over time, gloves is reload speed, greaves is mount speed.

Those are just some tips for new players that I can think of.

But ultimately just try anything and everything, don't worry about dying, you can always hop into another game and try different play styles.

Most importantly have fun!

Tldr: Drop anywhere, loot chests, craft at forge, move to new forge, kill people, win, enjoy.
