I've been playing Apocalypse Rising for a bit and I've learnt a few things that work and a few that don't. This guide mainly focuses on surviving the first few days, but there are some general tips.
1. Scavenge from the get go. As soon as you spawn, find a small barn, or a small group of houses (Not a village/town) and look for food. Once you're more experienced and you have better weapons, then you can scavenge in bigger places.
2. Find a (decent) weapon. Once you have at least 2 food and 2 drink items, search for a better gun and ammo. The makarov pistol isn't powerful, and you'll likely lose most fights unless you use it well.
3. Effective zombie killing tactics. If you find a melee weapon (E.g, a knife, hatchet or crowbar), use that to take out zombies, unless they come in numbers greater than about 3. One accurate swing to the head takes them out easily, you just need speed and timing.
4. Stay away from 'bandits'. If you happen to confront another player, assume them to be a hostile (Some players choose to call them 'bandits'), especially if you're weak. If you have a larger weapon, like a rifle, you could try to take them on, but make sure you know what you're doing. Upon dying, you lose EVERYTHING.
5. Make good use of food and water. Wait until your hunger/thirst bars get to the red area (Or close) before you consume anything. If you want to clean out your inventory to make way for other items, consume it, don't drop it!
6. Attempt to get into a group. Early on in the game, try to join someone's group. Having a partner (Or just someone trustworthy to talk to) is always beneficial. In fact, I may not have made it out of a gun fight with some bandits if I didn't have a friend flanking them.
7. You can walk, you know. Avoid sprinting unless you're attempting to stay hidden or you're just running from people/zombies. Sprinting drains your thirst and hunger faster, so use it wisely.
And finally, one tip I must encourage you to read fully...
8. Players crowd to important areas. Most players try to head to large cities like Kin or landmarks like the prison quite often. A lot of these players will be tough, smart and they'll have powerful weapons. At the same time, zombies will spawn in greater numbers, and there are more hiding places for them. Don't head to these places unless you are fully equipped for a fight with both people and zombies. The benefit of visiting these places is that better/rarer items and weapons spawn there. Just be careful, because otherwise you could lose something as soon as you pick it up!
Well, I guess that's all I have for now. Thanks for reading and happy surviving! |

| Apoc Rising is more of a giant deathmatch instead of a survival game. |

"Stay away from 'bandits'. If you happen to confront another player, assume them to be a hostile"
so your guide comes down to "kill everyone and don't use teamwork because winning is more important than having fun" |

| @222304, No, my guide comes down to 'wait until you can handle yourself to confront players, or you may end up dying'. It's happened a lot of times to me, and I've learned from it. |

| @Gina, I shoot players if I have to, not if they look as if they've just spawned. I have a terrible aim, so I don't shoot much at all, anyway. |
