Slow, steady extermination.
Clear out an area using melee attacks, set up base and do a patrol around the perimeter killing any stragglers each morning. Once it it relatively clean start sprinting and shouting during the patrol to attract more zombies into the safe area. Kill those too.
Use the rest of the day to farm, rest, build up skills and a stash of stone axes. Once you have a bunch, make excursions into new areas focusing on only cleaning out packs of zombies. Don't take on more than 3 or 4 since it becomes hard to track which ones are dead and which ones are playing dead. Once the excursion area is clean, set up a forward base, and repeat the process from there.
>A single scratch could mean death so don't rush it.
>Don't play if you are only paying half attention. >Don't loot during the night
>Don't travel to new areas during the night
>Don't hug the wall when checking corners
>check around the entire building before entering
>Shout before entering a room with no windows.
>start unemployed with strong, athletic, and cat eyes
>Balance with slow healing, slow learning, and slow reading
I only used guns once for fun in the mall parking lot. Gave it up when I noticed the large amount of crippled zombies it leaves behind. Too risky.
