Hello guys,
If you're a new player and you don't know what to do, read this guide. Well, what i did is wasting atleast my first 100 hours by walking around on the ERA map (and trying to kill pro's with a started gun..). So don't do that. Also don't go to the trade tables to make money, many people say you can make profits there and i know someone who got tazer now from trading only, but it's really slow. First u have to get a trashpick, u can get it for free in the Recycling Center (if u don't know where it is go to the map and tap the subsection 'Jobs'), then go to first island (upper) and go to the beach at the right. There u will find many trash, keep going till u have 500 gralats (u start with 100). Then go to a shell shop (Map - Jobs) and buy 10 shovels. Then go to any beach (try to find a quite one cause Streakers will try to kill u) and keep digging. When the 10 shovels are broken you will have 250 - 300 shells. Then go to the trade tables (don't sell your shells and buy shovels with the money!) and buy shovels there. They cost 2 shells a shovel (1:2). Then u will get like 150 shovels if your lucky. Just keep digging until you have many shells, then you can trade them or sell them and buy a gun or whatever u want.
Btw. Don't let people affect you by calling u a noob, u can get a very good gun in only 20 hours digging (That isn't much, people played for over 4000 hours).
Hope this helped u,
Aigyptus
