Some zombies can spit with acid and this not only hurts

but also makes you dirty so other zombies will smell you.

Some semblance of an army still functions today.

Sometimes you can spot a helicopter dropping supplies

for survivors. However, soldiers hardly ever get in touch.

Visiting an army bunker can be extremely rewarding or

extremely painful. Who knows what's going on behind

those armored doors?

A firm backpack will help you to carry more items and

come back home more rarely.

At first red berries that grow everywhere will help you to

still hunger and thirst. Little by little you'll even get used

to their taste.

Common wooden chests will significantly increase space

for keeping stuff, for your convenience you can even

paint them different colors.

They say, there are huge city ruins to the north. To this

day thousands and thousands of zombies roam the

streets of this former glorious place.

Furnace uses logs and planks to operate. Always check

if there's enough fuel before you leave.

Many resources can be refined and produce more useful

materials: planks, building materials, weapon parts,

electronic circuits, etc.

Some recipes require things that cannot be made via

craft. Such parts can only be found.

Pay attention to your weapon condition. It might break in

the middle of a tough fight.

Electronic parts will come in handy when assembling a

radio and other electrical devices. Don't throw them

away.

You'll need these components when assembling

electrical devices.

Sometimes there are time-limited events on the map

where you can find something interesting.

Some zombies are slow. If you are about to be

surrounded by a Horde - it might be a good idea to run

away.

When going to dangerous locations be sure to take care

of your security and take food, first-aid kits and

everything else you need to survive.

Some zombies are so huge that try to smash you with

their weight. Run away as soon as you suspect

something is wrong.

To place most workbenches one will need a floor. The

more complex a workbench is, the more solid base you'll

need to install it.

Growing crops is a key to surviving nowadays. Consider

building a Garden Bed as soon as you can.

Meat can be eaten raw. But it will replenish much more

health if cooked on the fire.

You are spotted faster if you travel by car or run.

Visit a Watchtower to unlock hidden parts of the map.

Firearms are pretty loud and may attract unnecessary

attention. Use at your own risk.

Not all zombies are as terrible as imaged in popular

culture. Some of them can be killed even with bare

hands.

For unknown reasons, zombies sometimes form large

groups and wander in unknown directions. This

henomenon is called Horde. You'd better not stand in

its way.

Some animals, such as wolves, are aggressive when

hungry. Others run away if they see you.

It can be said that the witnesses of those events are still

alive. Shadows of the past, a.k.a. zombies. Years later,

they are wandering round the cities they have lived in.

The day when humanity collapsed. The virus took away

80% of the planet population. Later, 10% died in wars for

supplies and ammo.

At this time of the day, zombies are especially

distracting.

Assemble a radio to find Dealer and other dwellers of the

land.

Use a radio to learn the bunker code, get in touch with

the dealer and raiders. Look for other useful contacts at

the right frequency.

Some resources like rocks or wood can be found

anywhere on the ground. But to chop a tree or to break a

hard stone you will need tools.

Zombies and animals can smell you. Watch your hygiene

and take a shower on a regular basis.

Cold weapons inflict increased damage if you use them

smartly as long as the enemy can't see you.

Most zombies have poor senses. You can sometimes

sneak by a zombie horde undetected.

In supply drop spots there is always something useful:

food,clothes, and weapons. On the other hand, the spots

always attract other survivors and zombies.

Being cautious is never excessive if you encounter other

survivors. They are aggressive almost always.

We've been surviving in the wilderness for years and

we've learned a lot: we build our houses, grow plants and

make weapons.

Some regions are extremely cold. Get yourself some

warm clothes.

Some zombies changed during evolution and they turned

into terrible beasts. It's better to stay away from them.

Locations on the global map differ in their difficulty.

Green ones are the simplest, yellow ones are harder and

red ones are the most dangerous. But the more difficult

a location is, the more interesting things can be found

there.

In order to cut down a tree or obtain ore you'll need a

hatchet or a pickaxe. Fortunately, materials for simplest

tools can be found right on the ground.

Collect working parts of engines. You will need them if

you want to assemble a motorcycle or even an all-terrain

vehicle.

Traps and spikes will help you defend from zombies.

However, they are not that effective against other

survivors.

Soldiers were leaving bunkers in a hurry. There's still a

lot of parts, gasoline and other useful stuff there.

Years after the pandemic, survivors have developed

immunity to the virus. However, zombies can still bite

them and even tear off hands.

Wooden walls will be able to stop wild animals and

zombies, but they probably won't be helpful against

raiders and a Horde.

Don't throw empty bottles away. You can fill them up

again.

Don't throw empty bottles away. You can fill them up

with some liquid.

You can't drink water or fill your bottles in the puddle.

This water is contaminated. Use Rain Catcher.

For unknown reasons, the dead love it when it's cool.

That's why thick woods are much more dangerous than

small groves.

You can't say it's safe here. For some reason zombies

love when it's cool. That's why it's most dangerous in

thick woods. If you want to cut wood - search for

resources in small groves.

Never place workbenches and chests outside. Even a

casual passerby would love to steal your resources if

they are unprotected.

Upgrade the floor and walls to protect your house

against zombies, raiders and weather.

Camp. Sector 7

There are ashy zombies in the wastelands, their burnt

bodies survived the explosion.

Witnesses are talking of new zombie types behind the

Wall. The rumour is that the virus is always mutating

because of the high radiation level in the infected areas.

High radiation level in Sector 7 makes the virus mutate.

To prevent the spread of the virus strain, it is strictly

forbidden to take anything beyond the walls.

You must leave all personal belongings incuding clothes

at Sector 7 entry control. These isolation methods are

required for prevention of further virus mutations in the

area of high radiation.

There is an extremely high level of radiation behind

Sector 7 wall. You will need a suit with special protection

in order to avoid painful death of radiation.

Many survivors believe that some day they will leam the

truth on the outbreak of the epidemic. They say the key

to the secret may be found in the infected lands behind

the Wall.

The explosion made the virus mutate. Those few

survivors are forming squads to study anomalies. The

researchers are to do tons of work - there are new tasks

every day.

The Wall was built not long before the start of the global

epidemic. The reasons of the construction have not been

named.

chests on locations and will help you to welcome the

New Year in.

What is more powerful: hardened steel in the hands of a

skillful warrior or a common bullet? You can always find

this out in a competition with Mulan.

There are lots of chests left around that don't have

owners. Sometimes you can find some really rare stuff

there like green tea.

quality traditions of ancient masters. The Lonely Elder's

berries but it can be exchanged for something valuable

at the Supply Officer's.

and sizes, they can be found in chests on locations.

interesting, for example, rice seeds.

Sometimes strangers you encounter can give a task for

which you can get a good reward.

You can need a torch to find a path in the night forest or

owner. The Lonely Elder's chest might contain something

from the set.
