The Definitive Beginner's Guide to Project Zomboid

Project Zomboid is a deep and complex game, but in this beginner's guide I aim to demystify your first few hours and give you clear goals and tips to get started surviving in the zombie apocalypse.
In this video we'll go over the best towns to spawn in based on zombie populations and safehouse potential, which items you NEED to loot to set yourself up for the long term, and how to choose and defend a base in the early game.
I'll also go over some combat tips and explain the best way to approach zombies depending your weapon and skill level.
Hopefully after this beginner's guide you'll be on your way to surviving for years to come.
