A Hunter's Survival Guide

[h2]Survival Guide - Author unknown[/h2]

[h3]You will die… A lot.[/h3]
If you want to die less than usual (even though it’s pretty fun) here’s a survival book we found in the bunker when clearing out a hunter's stash. What happened to the hunter? That’s not important.

Tip #1
Equip your gun and load them with ammo. Sounds silly? You'll be surprised.
Every time you respawn, reload the ammo. Moved on to a new area? You guessed it, reload the ammo. There is nothing worse than engaging in combat and you’re out of bullets, spending reload time being attacked!



Tip #2
Believe it or not, not being greedy helps reduce the number of deaths.
Do you really need that boar meat? Whenever you think “Just one more kill!”, “I can squeeze one more thing to my backpack”, shut that thought down and get to the extraction point.



Tip #3
Which brings me on to tip number 3. We ALL love to hoard, right? WRONG! Use those meds to heal up when you can. Keep an eye on those stats, don’t carry too much and be overweight and most importantly, survive.



Tip #4
Start off with smaller raids.
We’ve all run into raids in the past, getting shot one direction by numerous Bandits while getting chewed up by ghouls in the other, which usually means it’s game over. Settle for small raids, kill a couple of bandits, finish the good deed of the day and be done with it.



Tip #5
Whenever you enter a map the first thing you should do is to check where the extraction points are. This gives you a head start with which direction you should take in a short lived safe environment. If you right click on the map, you can even place a marker to where you need to go.



Tip #6
Sleep it off.
So, you don’t have a bed of your own? Share with one of your fellow hunters. Replenish and get back out there.



Tip #7
The mouse wheel.
This one can be easily missed but use the mouse wheel for different options when you see the popup tooltip.



Tip #8
We mentioned ammo earlier but here’s a secret, there is ammo in enemy guns (I know, obvious!) unload the ammo once you’ve killed your enemy. Don’t waste those bullets!



Tip #9
Make sure to look around your corners as your view is blocked by environmental obstacles. You never know where an enemy is hiding! And that’s the story of how I got a scar on my face.



Tip #10
Enemy’s enemy is friend, or is it?
*SPOILER ALERT*
Absolutely, not! Personally, I say if it moves, shoot it. Unless it’s Igor, I will leave that up to your conscience. However, if you do find an entire army that won’t shoot unless you shoot first it’s best to hold back. Tricky, but who says survival is easy, eh.



On that note, happy hunting folks!
