Take: Water, canned food, bag, durable melee, medicalLeave: TVs and generators until you can carry them

Kit: A bag you can still walk with · Crouch, closed doors · Daylight hours

Project Zomboid looting a kitchen

Strengths

  • Teaches the real game: noise and weight
  • Burglar occupation pairs if you like hotwiring later
  • Every death that was 'just one more house' is this job failed

Weaknesses

  • Greeding a shotgun from a police station on day one
  • Looting at night with lights on

Starter tips

  1. 1

    Water, canned food, a bag, a weapon with durability, then medical.

  2. 2

    Never fight a crowd with a frying pan. Walk away, close doors.

  3. 3

    Dying in a menu is a meme for a reason. Zoom so you see adjacent tiles.

  4. 4

    School libraries after the street is quiet. Books are the spike.
