So as every begginer you join a singleplayer map . For begginers , you shold play on easy mode because it's good for you .
Once you joined , start searching for some loot : Food , Water , Tools , Weapons , Medicine and Clothes . They can be found in cities , military bases , airfields and at the docks.Be aware of Dead Zones . If you don't have a gasmask and some filters you're not safe there .
Gasmasks and filters can be found at the military bases . On Russia map you should go to the Liberator (Safe Zone ) where you will find
NPC's wich are gonna trade with you or give you quests . Some of them aren't going to give you quests so in case they don't give you quests don't ask why . Begginers can also do the easy achievments,but first , do the turorial .
I hope you found this guide useful and i wish you luck !
