Well no wonder you're dying if you're on D3 and haven't even bothered to get a proper weapon.  :P

yah, check you map, hit up sporting goods stores for melee/bows and firearms stores for ummmm.....  you get the idea, failing that you can craft a wooden spear with just a crap knife and a lump of wood with no skills by memory, its an ok weapon against greens,   failing that, throwing rocks isnt the worst tactic ever.

A rock is seriously a much better weapon than a butter knife, for melee or ranged. :P

Try not to get into towns too much or get a vehicle. I always died when I was in a city so I just crafted myself a bow and some arrows to survive towns.

And never fire a gun. Seriously, I just see guns as zombie spawners. I only use guns when I'm sure there is no chance of survival.

I'm doing a Solid Snake/Big Boss build and USP .45 with silencer works fine.
Silenced guns in general are brilliant especially when you run into 3 packs of 50 bullets or something

Also lads my cousin wants to play this on his MacBook, could anyone compile the latest release for Mac OSX, that'd be swell

Silenced low-calibre firearms are perfectly safe for use in cities; yeah, if you're firing off a Savage or Mossberg, you'll attract notice. My quiet-gun of choice is the Marlin 39A; it has fairly good damage, recoil-reduction, and accuracy, and is chambered for .22 (thus being nearly silent even unmodified). Toss on an extended clip, a silencer, and maybe a sniper conversion, and you've got an excellent, nearly-soundless firearm. Another option is to carry several silenced 9mm pistols, which makes ammo fairly easy to track. When you empty one, just swap it for another, and reload them all once you're safely away.

You need: 1 skill level in archery & survival. A long wooden stick (the kind from young trees) for the longbow, and any stick (mop/broom...) for the arrows.

And a knife. Butter knives won't do.

Ninja: You don't need mechanics.  :P

Ninja II: Gah.

Ninja III: ;_;

Just what the name implies.

Actions from the * button and in constructing things from wooden planks and nails to make better structures.
