  • Equip the frying pan in your second slot to get 1 DT armor, then leave town.

Outside Otradnoye

  • Save first and wander around Otradnoye for the event with the 3 guys around the campfire.
  • (If you get bandit/wolf event just run away with your stealth or run during combat to the exit).
  • Speak to them and complete quest for EXP, now walk behind the guy holding the rifle,
  • and attack him. This will prompt all three to attack you. Ideally you need to kill all three.
  • You want them to crowd around you as one of them has a grenade and will throw it at you thus killing themselves in the process.
  • After you survive that. Loot the rifle guy and you will have a Hunting rifle and some ammo.

Abandoned Factory & Krasnoznamenny

  • Now pay the 1000 rubles fee and get past the guard into city. Head towards weapons shop and buy 5.56 ammo for your Hunting Rifle.
  • If you have alot of food. Press T to rest 12 hours eat 1 food and repeat 6 times = 3 days. To reset the shop.and buy more ammo.

Manhunt then Praetorian and your set.

Quick Leveling Guide:

Grind till you have decent equip and too much rubles to spend on then head towards Red Fighter kill all the giant spiders and Hexagen for easy exp.not recommended to do this early as its fairly easy to earn exp early and this will scale the enemies more than a naked character can handle. 14k exp regardless about 3 levels worth.
