Learn to fend for yourself and survive the zombie virus in H1Z1.
Basic Tips
1 – Get on the map. The first question you ask yourself as soon as you appear in the world of H1Z1 is very simple: where the hell am I? Simply enter /loc to obtain coordinates that will help us locate ourselves. We are interested in the X and Z coordinates while the Y can be ignored since it only tells us the height at which we are. Thanks to this map you can get an idea of where you are located.
2 – Feed yourself. Blackberries give you +2 energy and +2 hydration, although the process of collecting them is somewhat laborious. You can also prepare animal traps near the banks, which will allow you to catch small animals or you can also hunt deer with a bow and arrow. As soon as you can, create a fire (in this link you have all the instructions) to cook the meat and boil the water. Once boiled, you can drink it and forget about the blackberries.
3 – Create basic objects. It is very easy to create a bow and a backpack as soon as you start the game. The best thing you can do when starting out is collect twigs, pressing E near trees and bushes, and once you add a piece of rag to the stick hit “Discover” to create your first bow. In the crafting tab you can now create a bow and arrows that will allow you to attack and defend yourself in the early stages of the game. It is also interesting to create animal traps (with a branch and four wooden boards) or a backpack with six rags. In this link you have all the help you need to create objects.
4 – Where to find materials. Metal objects can be obtained at gas stations, warehouses, vehicle repair shops, or near cars. If you get a metal bar you can use it to hit abandoned cars and get metal pieces. Wooden planks are made with pieces of wood that you can obtain by cutting down trees with an axe. To get rags, you can tear up shirts or caps that you find along the way. You can also get it from zombie corpses if you hit them with a sharp weapon.
5 – The first steps. Try to hang out with other people, whether they are friends or strangers, because you are just very easy prey. Look for all kinds of objects and supplies but be careful about entering the larger towns as there may be other players.
