TIPS AND TRICKS FOR NEW PLAYERS

Here are some quick tips to help players new to the game:

  • You can block attacks by infected. Holding the Left Trigger to aim, and then walking backwards will block melee attacks from the front.

  • Use 'Y' for melee attacks. When aiming a melee attack, using the 'Y' button to attack deals a heavy blow that can stagger infected.

  • Combining the above 2 tips can allow you to quickly kill infected without taking any damage.

  • Always bandage your cuts. Cuts bleed. Bleeding kills you. Cuts also get infected. Infections are bad.

  • When bandages run out you can sterilize rags using alcohol tincture, iodine, or disinfectant spray. Rags can be made by combining almost any clothing item with a sharp object (saw, knife, hatchet, etc).

  • Guns don't help you survive. Eating a bullet is not a survival strategy. Shooting a bullet will attract infected like flies to faeces.

  • Don't drink water you haven't purified unless it comes from a pump. Chlorine tablets and boiling in a pot are the only ways to sterilize water.

  • You can use almost any tool to open a can of food.

  • A torch can be crafted from a stick (short or long) and rags. They can be upgraded by combining with fat and/or gasoline to burn longer. A torch will help keep you warm and will provide light.

  • Wet clothes make you cold, cold makes you burn calories faster and can make you sick. Wring your clothes out by moving them to your hands in the inventory screen, then exiting the inventory screen and holding 'Right Trigger'.

  • Ruined clothes provide no protection against infected or the cold. Fix your clothes using duct tape, sewing kits, and leather sewing kits. Different repair items work on different items. To repair: hold the repair kit in your hands in the inventory screen, then highlight your clothing items. If they are in need of repair, you will be able to hold 'B' to combine, and then hold 'Right Trigger' to repair them.
