To make it easy for you? You have donation boxes and people put in a lot of stuff for new players like you.
Do your quests, farm, grind and eventually you get what you want.
P.s. maybe it sounds hard but we all started with nothing specially when the game came out.

But overall, the community is really friendly and is willing to help or give advice when you need to whether it be in-game, on here, or in a Discord server. Don't hesitate to ask even if it seems trivial, the only stupid questions are the ones never asked.
I also suggest doing the events if you come across one as they are a good way to get some small but quick XP, caps, and rewards.
Do not spend your time upgrading your weapons and armor. Excavator Power Armor can be used until very high levels, even though you may get Raider PA earlier. Corn Soup if you don't want to mess with other food.
then after a while discovering the game, you will know what gear and weapons you seem to like the most and start to make a good build
Water, food, ammo, weapons, armour, junk
Stick to The Forest for a while doing side quests and events
You can venture further afield early on but be very wary
https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/The_Forest
Don't overload yourself unless close to your camp or a stash box as you'll need to run to escape at some point
Join the responders and the army
Do a resource run daily to lucrative locations that you'll discover
Early game is about levelling up
Do all the single player content. Once you make it to about level 25 or 30 start doing the high level public events. All you need to do is hit the big baddie once to get full xp and if you die you do just respawn without losing any loot. Hit the big baddie, lurk around the edges not getting in the way, and you will get full credit for the event.
What if you're Fallout BobBarker?
if you want
Invulnerability, then look at full health power armour and heavy weapons
Nothing should EVER skill even the most basic of power armour player... sure they don't do a ton of damage, and fusion cores might be hard to get early... but NOTHING absolutely nothing can touch you
This is what you want if you are looking at PvP (pvp you WILL die... those of us who do it have true immortality builds and deal absurd player to player damage + use stealthboys)
if you want
125x faster levelups (more exp per kill, and enemies die exponentially quicker) and 10x more damage, then look at unyielding regular armour bloodied commando
Nothing SHOULD ever kill you aside from daily ops enemies who have super buffed damage values. I can tank the imposter sheepsquatch with his fire and headbeam with all 3 dot pylon effects on me at 5% hp and some stimpacks giving a healing effect
regular enemies vanish the second I look at them... dead enemies couldn't hurt you even if they could
and you go from a few hundred exp on a supermutant kill to 2400 and in the time an invulnerable PA player can kill one I've killed 20 of them
Build water purifiers in your camp. Keep what you'll use and sell the rest of the vendor to empty the vendor of its caps everyday. In addition to selling purified water, you can use a tinker bench and bulk any scrap you won't be using. You can't sell loose scrap to a vendor but you can sell bulked scrap. (Bulking scrap requires plastic.)
Find a higher level player and ask them to help you travel to specific locations that are free fast travel points such as Rusty Pick, Whitesprings, Atlas and Crater. You group with them and when they travel to a location, you can open your map, click on their name in UI menu and select travel to player. Whitesprings is a hugely useful area early on. There is a Mall inside with a bunch of robot vendors that sells tons of plans. Some of them are expensive but many are cheap.
Find or ask for help to travel to Poseidon Energy power plant. At the top of the power plant, in a trailer, is an undamaged hazmat suit. You'll need this for very high radiation areas such as nuclear warhead impact zones. Also, do the quest to power up poseidon for plans.
If you don't mind risking PvP, find a map where the rest of the players have claimed no or few workshops. Claim any you find. Simply claiming it will award you with plans and resources. If you aren't that keen on PvP, I recommend claiming them anyway but don't fight to keep it. Claim and leave.
When you level up, you'll be given a point to increase one of your SPECIAL stats. You'll also be allowed to pick one card. You don't have to pick one if you don't see anything useful. You can choose to pick none and save the points until you increase your level more. Many of the more useful cards are locked behind higher level requirements.
During level up when you pick a SPECIAL to increase, the game prompts you to pick a card from that same SPECIAL. You don't have to do that. You can pick a card from another SPECIAL if you want to. If you are using a controller, use the right bumper to cycle to the other SPECIALS.
Find a train station near your current operating location. Train stations have a vendor, at least one crafting table (where you can scrap stuff you won't be using), a stash box and a SPECIAL loadout stand. You can use the loadout stand to respec your character's SPECIALs. No cost - free. The only cost involved with it is that if you want to unlock extra loadout slots, you have unlock them using in game currency (atoms, via atom store).
Crafting. Everything requires specific components. Some components are more rare than others. If you have a hard time finding specific components, Keep an item that has the component you want, or the component itself, in your inventory. Open pip boy and go to junk tab. You can go into a sub tab inside junk that shows all individual components. You can click on and flag the components you are looking for. When you do this, any items you find out in the world that has these components inside it, will have a magnifying glass icon next to its name. Pick it up, scrap it and you'll get some of the components you are looking for.
Public events on map that have an exclamation point inside the yellow icon can be fast traveled to for free. If you don't want to do the event itself, you can still use them to fast travel around the map. Events that are just an yellow icon, without the exclamation point, will charge you a fee to travel to.
Scrapping armor and weapons will give you a chance to unlock mods for them. If you want to see your progress on the mods for specific items, go to a crafting bench, select modification, pick an item to mod and look at top of window. It will show you how many mods you currently have unlocked and the total of mods available for that item. It'll show the numbers in parentheses at top of window. Example: (5/15).
At lower levels, when you have trouble killing stronger enemies, you can piggyback off of other players by "tagging" all the enemies with one bullet or one melee strike. Get in, land a hit and back off. When it dies, you'll get experience.
