Just don’t get too close otherwise, they might see you. Try crouching because it will allow you to sneak around them in plain sight. For instance, if you see a group of zombies ahead that will definitely see you if you try going ahead, then it’s better to enter into the stealth mode by crouching. Sometimes it is best not to draw unnecessary attention. Previously said, when you crouch, you enter in a stealth mode, and stealth can help you a lot in this game. After you kill your prey, use your stone ax on the corpse to skin it. Crouching puts you in a stealth mode, and while undetected, you will deal bonus damage. When you see a deer, make sure to crouch. To take down a deer and a beer, you will need a ranged weapon. You can outrun animals like chicken, rabbit, and pig, and you can kill them with your melee weapon. On top of that, chickens are the best source of feathers. These animals are the best source of meat. You will also find a zombie bear and a zombie dog, and you are advised to stay away from these. There are five types of wild animals you can find: chicken, pig, rabbit, deer, and beer. While collecting things on your way to the city, you will stumble upon wild animals. After you have got your waypoint set, start walking towards it.


Finding a city ensures you fresh supplies every time you visit. Try finding 0.0 coordinates, and when you find them, make a waypoint by pressing right-click on that same spot or press a set button on the console. Move your cursor and you will see coordinates change depending on your cursor’s position. Looking at the map you can see the coordinates in the upper part. You can open the map by pressing M on your keyboard, or if you play on console, open your inventory, and press R1, until you find the map.


I would recommend placing a bedroll in an abandoned house if you found one. Otherwise, you will re-spawn somewhere random, and you would lose a lot of time walking back to that same spot to get your stuff. Having a bedroll placed makes you re-spawn on that same spot. When you craft a bedroll, make sure to place it as soon as possible: the world is a dangerous place and you will die a lot.
