How loud a town really is
Military tents spawn better guns. They also spawn more walkers. Farms are quieter if you only need food and a bow. Keep additional game information handy when you pick a first map.
The first gun you actually craft
A bow is silent. A pistol is not. Craft nails and a repair kit before you fall in love with a rare rifle. See related resources for extra notes on skill trees that speed crafting.
- Sights help. Magazines help more. Check additional guides if you keep dying with an empty chamber.
Fuel, cars, and a wall that lasts
A car is a storage box with a horn you should never use. Base near a well, not on the highway. Skim more game information before you plant a generator in a raided server.
- Claim a bed. Share a locker. Do not leave the only gas can on the porch. Open this resource when group ranks still confuse you.
