I keep getting lost
Wtf how do you stop wandering around in circles when you don't have a compass or a map? 😡

Play on a modded server with a map until you learn the map.

too easy

you'll get lazy and likely won't learn the map for real

you will get to know the map in time. It takes a little while

you can always orientate yourself towards the sun (unless there's a thunderstorm oc)...
and at night you can even navigate by the stars :)

Just a little. Most of my 1,200ish hours was spent on Namalsk and I can still get a bit lost on there. 😂

Every time I start a fresh Cherno or Livonia run I tell myself “no izurvive….no map…..just get lost in the world”. Then 45 mins later I’m on izurvive trying to find the nearest water well. Lol.

A map the size of Chernarus would take a new player thousands upon thousands of hours to learn by memory and not use any outside help. Hell, I tend to walk in circles when I’m lost. I think I’m near the center of the map headed west when I pop out on the east coast right near where I started. Ffffffff!!!!

You can find both items. Hunting and camping locations are good for both items.

I miss getting lost and not knowing where to find things. It was a time full of adventure and uncertainty.

That is good to know.

And thanks for advice everyone I am working on using sun more and trying to use roadsigns to see where I am on the map.

I made it a bit farther inland last round and I will keep learning.

On a clear night you can use the stars to navigate. The star Polaris is the one to watch. It is the North star. You use the big dipper constellation to find it. Google for info.

You don't even need to down load it. Just go to the website and use your browser.

Learn the landmarks.
Start on modded servers with maps, or use an external map.
