What is this compulsion to kill unarmed players? Cowardice?

Is it of any use?

There is no challenge to shooting an unarmed/minimally armed player. I won't do it. What might they have? A can of beans they cannot open and a flashlight? Huge threat, there. :rolleyes: But, keep it up, coastal targets (oops, I meant bandits) and see how it all works out!

Prone in a bush far from high traffic areas...

A compass is a huge help, and should be a priority.

I have been lost several times. One rule of thumb when really lost...go one direction. You will hit something eventually. Follow major roads/power lines, if necessary. As you are exploring, pay attention to the landscape. Is it trending upwards in elevation or downwards? That can clue you in as to direction, i.e. if you have been heading North and the terrain trends upwards, you can return South to by going downhill. Prevailing Westerlies - clouds move west to east.

Why, thank you! Great tune!

I'm an utter newb and have done pretty well so far. Encountered a guy at Balota who was sort of pinned by a zombie. Killed the zombie, waved at the guy, and went on my way. It did help that he just had a melee weapon and kept it on his back. Current character, got shot up by some jackass in Elektro. Since I didn't know where he was, I just ran... I had nothing of value but the starting equipment. Traveled 10's of kilometers barely able to see anything until I lucked upon one of those little hospital/clinics with some supplies. Fairly well kitted out, now. Kinda torn between heading over to help fresh spawns and being super wary of bandits. And the fresh spawns who could turn at a any moment. That's one of the most appealing aspects of this game for me...another player can be a good encounter or a nightmare, and you risk all of your goodies...

Thanks for the advice/help, folks. Much appreciated!

Found my first can opener, though, in that time! 8th or so respawn.

Kinda played it that way, open to choices... I have 9mm, 45 ACP, 7.62x39, 7.62x51, 12 gauge buckshot, .357, and in 8 or so respawns I have yet to see 5.56x45.

In the world I am finding every caliber in the game...except for what I can run.

Funny guy, dude up there^ Hilarious when you lmb and hear "click,click.click" :) I figured an airfield would have plenty of ammo. If not there...where?

Old song. Anyyway, two trips today to Balota...no ammo!

And some ammo, too! 2nd trip to Balota today. Picked clean.
