How to survive.

In ' The Fifth Day ' Surviving is something that many struggle and need help with and the game as a very challenging approach as the Hunters even more so with the newer Path finding giving to them which allows them to be able to climb/jump to the top of any Static structure and get in to bases made by players that have an open roof or are un-guarded. This along with the fact the Hunters nearly never miss (accurate as they are Robots of the future).

Surviving The Day (First Spawn)
When you first spawn no matter the game mode (Loner, COOP or Freeplay) you need to get some form of defense, most of the time the Nuke Plant having the best as it has 4 Power Stands (Having the chance to spawn Cells and Capacitors) Which is shown with them having a green light, Warehouses that can spawn Military and Basic Containers for Loot in which you usually can get your first form of defense against A.I or Player to get you started.

Second Day and Days after
The second day if not found in the first day you need to get a Pocket Torch and a way to put the Torch on your Weapon which can be commonly found so when night hits your not blind. Also in the day it's the time you should head around the map for more items for Hacking, Tracking, Construction and Killing so that you are prepared. This Changes depending or your priorities and playing style as you may think getting a Harvester is better over a Weapon and Vice Versa.

Night
When Night hits in will be clear (Or not so) as its a very harsh Night compared to other games where it is only minimal, During the night you want to keep moving unless you have a base setup to hide and be safe as the Hunters will be almost Invisible till the Blue light shines on you and by that point unless your fast you will most likely die as they never really miss, so if you keep moving and listen for the sound they make when some spawn nearby then you should be fine, if you feel ready enough then you can venture out but night if overwhelming dark.

Building your first Safe House
When it comes to getting ready to building a house/base you need to get a Goliath Tool part and then the Hacking module for it so you can do your first hack on a Harvester. Harvesters are located around the map with 4 in total, all being around the same distance in the map from each other (Find the map of them here) When you find one you should jump down into the pit/storage its in and then hold left click with the crafted Hacking tool to commence the Hack. (Full Tutorial on hacking here). Once all the hacking is done if you haven't already then hit ' I ' The ' ID ' To then click on the Harvester and select it to gather what resource you want, Then you need to Hunt for the Constructor Module for the Goliath Tool and also the Memory Sticks containing the needed information to build (Vol 1 being Wood, Vol 2 Being Brick Vol 3 Being Concrete and Vol 4 being Iron and Electronics). for a quick base and your first its best to choose wood as the other materials need more than one resource excluding iron but iron is heavy and takes longer to gather compared to wood which it light and cheap to build with.
