2) Use bikes for traversal
Bicycles are the best form of transport in Unturned. They are hassle-free and do not require fuel to run, which makes them optimal for exploring the in-game world.
The game also has motor vehicles like cars, tanks, and helicopters. However, they rely on gas, a limited resource. Moreover, these vehicles consume fuel at an alarming rate, forcing you to allocate a substantial portion of your time and resources to refueling and replacing depleted supplies. For all these reasons, bicycles are a better alternative for traversal in this title.
3) Choose weapons wisely and stock up on ammo
You will not have access to a lot of weapons in the early stages of your Unturned playthrough. Your fists can be used as melee weapons to eliminate threats, but they will be ineffective against groups of enemies.
When the hordes arrive, you will likely seek out a gun as a primary means of defense. While they produce noise and consume ammo, these drawbacks can be mitigated by planning ahead and stockpiling supplies. Additionally, you can find ample ammo in cities to replenish your stock, making guns a viable option. Moreover, guns are more effective against other players, who pose the greatest threat in this game.

4) Get comfortable with deaths
You will most likely get eliminated in Unturned, and that could happen many times during a playthrough. Death can be unsettling in games that focus on survival. However, in Unturned, dying is often not a significant setback. Most of the time, you can easily recover your lost items and continue playing.
Dying in Unturned can become frustrating, especially for beginners. However, you can minimize the risk of getting eliminated by staying in squads and using proper gear. While there is no guarantee of a perfect playthrough, planning and adaptability can help you get a more balanced experience.
5) Use fists and melee weapons as much as possible during the early stages
Guns are the best defense against the undead, but they require a constant supply of ammunition. That's where your fists come in, as they can be used as melee weapons for 1 v 1 encounters. However, they are ineffective during an ambush.
You can get fist kills by hitting zombies in their faces. There are also other melee weapons in Unturned, such as sledgehammers, axes, and chainsaws. These aren't as effective as guns, but they will help you to survive during the early stages of the game.

6) Build a base
Building a base is the most important tip for Unturned players. A base can be used as a shelter as well as a location to stock supplies in the game. Choosing a location for one is the most important step, and you should build your base in an area where it won't attract much attention.
You can also team up and raid the bases of enemy players to secure items like food, ammunition, and vehicles. However, you should expect to face the same, as other survivors will also constantly be on the lookout for targets to get loot and supplies.
7) Stay cautious during nighttime
Unturned becomes more intense during nighttime, when you can expect to deal with more zombies. You should try to avoid going out during such hours if you want to avoid fighting hordes of the undead.
In this game, zombies turn violent during the nighttime. Being cautious is essential to avoid elimination, as the spawn rate for zombies is significantly higher during the night as compared to the daytime.

8) Exploration is key
You should explore the world of Unturned as much as you can. The towns harbor more zombies, but you can also gather more loot there. They offer a unique opportunity to acquire a large quantity of experience in a short period.
Fighting zombies is the best way to test new weapons as well as level up skills and boost progression in this title. Moreover, the game features forest areas full of wildlife. As such, you can hunt animals for their meat and consume it to satisfy your hunger.
