When you kill bandits, you can go over to them and select Check Wallet - they'll usually have around 500 to 10,000 coins on them.

Cooked fish sell for quite a lot - between 1,500 and 4,000 each.

You'll start out with a Famas and essentials to keep you alive.
The Famas isn't the best weapon, so it's a good idea to find some way to get a better weapon with a scope.

You'll start out with 10,000 Coins in your bank, but to spend them you have to get them out at an ATM, or fix the Broken Phone in your inventory with a Portable Soldering.
When you've gotten the coins out, or gotten some money in your wallet - you can go to a weapon dealer and get a new weapon.

When killing bandits, you'll usually have a better weapon than a bloody Famas.

If you want to go long distance on your future enemies, you'll either want to get a Sniper Rifle, or a weapon with an ACOG scope.

Increasing your humanity is a key part of the gameplay. You start with a base humanity of 2,500.

Burying bodies is often a way to dispose of deceased players or NPCs, and it provides a substantial boost to your humanity score, typically granting 30 humanity points per body buried.

To boost your humanity, focus on eliminating bandits, which are typically encountered during missions. Each bandit you successfully take down will add 35 humanity to your score. Engaging in these missions not only challenges your combat skills but also strategically increases your humanity, impacting your character's standing and experience in the game. Remember, consistent participation in missions and effective elimination of bandits are your primary means to accumulate more humanity and progress in the game.

Another way to increase your humanity is by killing zombies. For each zombie you eliminate, you will earn 5 humanity points. This means that actively engaging and defeating zombies is an in-effective method to boost your humanity.
