1. First you need to find a farm or cabin or other small civilian location.
1b. Then you loot it.
2. Then you head to a city(i.e; Stratford,Whitehorse,Seattle) and get more food and clothes(shred them for cloth to make bandages).



That's the basics.
Enjoy!

After you've done everything in Starting Out you should loot to military location like Confed. Bridge or Olympia Mil Base. Try to get a gun :p

-Save your guns for other players and mega zombies (sometimes only the former)
-Stabity Stab Stab
-If you must use gun on zombies use semiautomatic firing mode(abbreviated to "semi"

These are, in my opinion, the best guns in unturned.

Pistol- Cobra: High ammo capacity, Automatic firing,Civilian ammo,and barrel attachment capable
