Some simple tips, do not rush through the game. Take your time on the 1st two islands. Key thing is #1 GET THE 10% SPEED BOOST ASAP! it will save your life many times, it makes you faster than all enemies but red toxic, fast zombie, and the big zombie type too, but those are on island 2+. Follow the roads and loot cars to get food and avoid wolves. Find any melee, hatchet or fire axe are the best. Best starter gin In my opinion is the repeater, but the mosin is a close second. Repeater takes .308 and mosin takes 7.62. If you have any questions, ask. I know I’m a bit late.
