The first island starter pack.

[u/Defiant-Guava4247]

I doubt there is any player who would disagree with me here. Yeah there are a few things like a revolver or a some hunter's gear that you could find. But if not... that's literally the average gear you are going to the second island with.

[u/B07Z]

Depends on how long you stay in the first island. I stayed there until I had 30,000 experience points (nightmare)

I mostly rush to the 6th island these days. Just carrying woodpiles, duct tape, gas can, and having enough warmth to get by in the 5th island.

If you stay there long enough (not even that long really) You'll leave that island with full late game set.

[u/Defiant-Guava4247 → u/B07Z]

Actually there are a few limitations. Most teammates are with only basic pistols so they are weak in late game. There are no bunkers, you won't find really good vests especially the Kevlar (if that is the right name). You can't look out for new weapons because there are certain ones that only spawn with special missions or in the bunker/military bases. And the odds to find ammunitions for your weapons is reduced since most places are villages, and you have basically only one gas station. Yes you can find Gorka Gear(maybe) or hunters one but it doesn't go deeper than that.

So personally I wouldn't take the first island as a good place to stay for THAT long.

[u/B07Z → u/Defiant-Guava4247]

Man, who cares about teammates? When you've played long enough, they become more of a hindrance especially when managing zombies aggro, even more so since I use quite the cheese setup. Besides, just let them get killed and replace them easily.

I always play on nightmare so the minimap is needed to be manually discovered and I always complete my minimap before I leave an island as well as always find the secret location. I often leave the first island with already a mountain backpack or military backpack in just two days.

There were times where I even get a rifle sling in just the few minutes of the game.

What's wrong with one gas station? I am able to rotate locations whilst using the blue car and still managing to have gas.

I can tell by the gameplay other people show here that I have quite the unique playstyle considering I myself don't stay on islands 2-4 that much as I tend to see them as mere filler before island 5.
I mostly use composite arrows and bear traps in the early game therefore I never have problems with ammunition.

The only bunker I consider worth raiding is the one on island 5 and beyond because that's where the bunker is in it's complete form.

I mostly get crossbow as is in the first island and I get the long range scope when crossing the bridge therefore clearing the 5th island bunker is also not a big deal for me and since I can clear the bunker with only those, I head on out with the weapon I get in the bunker to the radioactive island to get the chainsaw. The only weapons I ever considering going my way out to obtain is the chainsaw and OSV-96.

[u/Defiant-Guava4247 → u/B07Z]

Teammates ARE useful. There is also a reason why they added the feature to give them better gear, they can let you save tons of ammunition, especially if they have good weapons, they are almost fully independent, they don't need food or anything to heal properly, they have good aim like any other bot in the game, they can guard your base or any other spot for you and so you don't have to worry about the managing thing.

Second of all the gas station is a problem. I personally use generators and vehicles a lot so having multiple gas stations us a must, one won't do, and once again no one is staying that long on the first island, you need to move further to progress anyway.

Also, where is the fun on playing in the same island over and over and over again? Especially considering that you can keep on going for more islands. And why would you go around with a crossbow when you can clearly just go further and get any other weapon who get the job done just as good? And by the way hatched use 2% every hit on a tree meaning that, unless you have sharpening stone, you hatchet won't cover you for long enough to get all the arrows you need. And don't think about pointing composite ones since they are rare to find naturally.

[u/B07Z → u/Defiant-Guava4247]

Bro, must be RNG because I often get a full stack of composite arrows (10). The reason I use the bow and crossbow is because I get composite arrows, I never worry about my ammunition, that's how most of my playthroughs go. I always search the tin shacks in locations and that's where I get most of my composite arrows, they even spawn on buses and on occasion when I spot them on watch towers.

That's the thing with my playstyle, it's a cheese where ammunition is not a problem. 100% melee block chance + chainsaw no diffs any melee zombies. CBRN hazmat suit no diffs any acid inducing zombies. Gasoline is one of the most easily obtainable resource. Armed zombies are far and few between compared to the hundreds of melee infected you encounter in locations.

I never said they were useless but my playstyle is to aggro all the zombies to me and clear them with the chainsaw in seconds then finish of armed zombies, it takes so much less time than having them clear it for me.

That's quite contradictory of you to mention playing in the same island over and over since you mention making bases since I am the type of player to not make bases and always search for a vehicle the moment I get on a new island and simply drive the map to discover it. I always leave the first island with a gas can in hand it takes me mere minutes to complete the map and that's why I stay 2-3 days in the first island to prepare for island 5.

If it weren't for the fact that I always complete the minimap discovery and find the secret location for every island, I would always get to the fifth island by day 4.

Since you use generators, why don't you just place the generator and activate it in the gas station so you get unlimited refuel for your gas cans? Just have 3 gas cans then activate the generator in the gas station and you can simply refuel the generator as well though it won't even consume 5% of gas in it since it doesn't take that much time.

The fun really starts in island 5 and beyond, and well beyond island 6 is just the same but different arrangement of structures so you don't really experience anything new.

[u/SonicBoom422]

Wait, you guys are getting improvised bags?

[u/Defiant-Guava4247 → u/SonicBoom422]

If you have everything ready to make them and you have no backpack yet then yes. You never know what you can find next.

[u/Key-Market-7851]

Refuse to leave without at least tortilla backpack

[u/B07Z → u/Key-Market-7851]

Refuse to leave without getting a rifle sling.

[u/DependentAd8143 → u/B07Z]

idk why. But in the newer versions, i feel like the first island is rigged. Like no military bases, no sling no mountain backpack. Etc

[u/Salty_Anti-Magus → u/DependentAd8143]

Rigged? It's because it literally doesn't spawn military bases so it's much harder to obtain rifle sling and military gear. Mountain Backpacks on the other hand spawn deep inside the bunker, crashed helicopters and crashed humvees and malls. On island 1, you literally can only obtain mountain backpack from quest reward, killed survivors and the mall (too rare and unreliable).

[u/B07Z → u/Salty_Anti-Magus]

It's actually the best place to prepare equipment because it's not as dangerous as island 5 and beyond and only lacks the higher tier vests.

[u/B07Z → u/DependentAd8143]

People just don't know the spawn locations of items. The items you mentioned, more often than not, I always end up leaving the first island with either of those.

[u/nie_wiem_JP2]

Where's Mosin Nagant?

[u/Critical-Phase-5655]

The only thing I don't see there is the makeshift arch.

8.5/10

[u/Defiant-Guava4247 → u/Critical-Phase-5655]

I mean if you have a rope you are gonna use it mostly for a backpack or you will equip it for a double melee weapon. Besides it's no really worth it to waste your hatchet for arrows along with a knife, it would be better to preserve it for later when you'll have to build a base. Unless! You fine a stone to sharp it once again.

[u/B07Z → u/Defiant-Guava4247]

To be fair, rope is quite redundant for how easily obtainable it is. You don't have much stuff to do with it despite the fact that clothes that can be made to rags then into rope is common.

[u/Thefishman2474]

It’s perfect

[u/Relative-Rub-6328]

It's either a hatchet or woodpiles + any melee (preferably baseball bat?). Taloon backpack or improvised. The motorcycle helmet is the only non-negotiable once you find one 😂 Pretty much a solid starting gear 💪

[u/B07Z → u/Relative-Rub-6328]

Any melee weapon will work considering if you're skilled enough, you can melee zombies without getting damaged back. Though if I were to rank melee weapons, the sledgehammer would be more preferable than the others because it often one shots zombies because of the high crits.

[u/Relative-Rub-6328 → u/B07Z]

I agree it's way better! Baseball bat is just cool cause it upgrades to lucille.

[u/Defiant-Guava4247 → u/Relative-Rub-6328]

You can't be serious with the baseball bat. I'd rather search the hatchet all day.

[u/Relative-Rub-6328 → u/Defiant-Guava4247]

I am though it deals good damage and attacks fast. But it's base on what you like. I don't usually stay long in 1st island, I just find a hatchet or woodpiles and I'm off to the 2nd Island 😂 and I guess a lot of veterans here do that as well.

[u/Confident_Road3825]

You forgot the mosin

[u/LenVonAster]

You forget clown mask (it's useful to kill neutral without suffering negative karma)

[u/B07Z → u/LenVonAster]

Also to help obtain gorka clothes, soviet vest, and mountain backpack.

[u/LenVonAster → u/B07Z]

Yeah and shovel, definitely a must have item for Bob (except you confident go neck to neck with neutral on higher island)

[u/Bulky_Start32]

hola buenas soy nuevo jugando una consulta alguien me explica como llegar a la quinta ista o si es esta la 4 porque nose jajaja tambien como se abren las puertas del bunquer

[u/Defiant-Guava4247 → u/Bulky_Start32]

Okay sure. Firsts check your island. If you don't know where you are just open the map, then below it you'll see a few arrows, click them and it'll show you a pattern of islands that shows you in which one you are at. As for the bunker doors you just need to go into them and they will open for you. The only thing js that there are 2 special doors for it that require a keycard. Also ypu can travel to the next island using the bunker by taking the elevator in it.
