ZERO Sievert Walkthrough Guide

You can do these in any order just make sure you do all of them.

*I recommend doing this first* Go to the bar (Middle Left) and trade with the barkeep to buy rotten bread and non-purified water. These can be crafted into bread and water that aren't irradiated.

Talk to the barkeep to get his quest. (Middle Left)

Talk to the doctor to get his quest. (Bottom Right)

Go outside of the bunker and talk to the train conductor for his quest.

Head to your base/room (all the way to the middle left) and putting extra items into the stash/storage. You only need one food item (bread), one water, and all the meds you spawn with. Put the rest into the stash.

When your ready talk to the train conductor to head into the zone. Make sure you have meds, food, and water!

Choose the forest map. (Makeshift camp is not worth going to: too much rads)

People:
The people you encounter when killed will always drop the gun they're currently using and sometimes have meds, ammo, or food/drink. Neutral people when turned hostile will turn the entire map of that faction hostile. Ex: If you shoot a Green Army Soldier at one area ALL soldiers on the map become hostile. (I don't know if this continues to the next run)

Green Army (Neutral)
Human with Green Helmet and Armor. Will shoot creatures/enemies. Will turn Hostile if shot.

Scientist (Neutral)
Human with yellow suites that spawn in or around anomalies. Will shoot creatures/enemies. Will turn Hostile if shot.

Stalkers (Neutral)
Looks exactly like you. Will shoot creatures, enemies, and green army. Will turn Hostile if shot.

Bandit (Hostile)
Human with Gray clothing and helmet. Run if you see one as they're never alone. Pretty easy to take out from a distance.

Hunter (Hostile)
Human with red-ish/tan clothing and helmet. Typically I would run away as they usually have snipers/rifles that do alot of damage plus take many shots to kill. Often alone.

There are some NPCs in the world you can interact with, some are traders, NPCs or task givers. Traders are the best way to safely buy and sell gear, items and weapons. Task givers give your character tasks and missions to complete, be it a fetch task (for normal or quest items), kill quest (killing specific enemies or unique enemy) or a quest-specific task. Some NPCs might not give tasks but give a better idea of the world of ZERO Sievert.

Trading:

1. Walk up to a trader (e.g: Bartender)
2. Interact with trader by pressing F
3. Select “Trade”
4. Place items from your inventory into top box to sell said item
5. Place item from trader inventory into bottom box to buy said item
6. Complete transaction by pressing “Deal” at top of screen.

Things to note:

1. NPCs have a fixed amount of money, it can be seen at the bottom right of the screen of trade GUI.
2. Your character has money, it can be seen at the bottom left of the screen.
3. Moving of items can be hastened by CTRL + LMB on an item you wish to move.
4. Hovering over an item will reveal the worth of said item in its description box.
5. Traders have a reputation which can be increased by purchasing items and completing tasks. This lowers the price of their items.

Tasks:

You can accept a task by doing the following:

1. Walk up to a task giver (e.g: Bartender)
2. Interact with trader by pressing F
3. Select “Tasks”
4. Select the task giver’s task.
5. Read the task given.
6. Accept task

Now that you have accepted the task, you can now go out into the zone to complete the task. Remember that you can check it through your device.

You can complete a task by doing the following:

1. Walk up to a task giver (e.g: Bartender)
2. Interact with trader by pressing F
3. Select “Tasks”
4. Select the task giver’s task.
5. Select reward in the bottom right box.
6. Select “Complete Task”
7. Close menu

Good job, you’ve completed your task and have been granted the task completion item

Things to note:

1. Tasks do not need to be completed immediately. You can prepare for tasks before attempting to complete them.
2. Some tasks require special equipment that can be bought from vendors. They can be expensive, i.e the CCTV camera or dynamite.

Treatment:

On the East side of the bunker, ZERO Sievert, there is a doctor who will heal your wounded character in exchange for money. 

1. Walk up to the doctor. 
2. Interact with doctor by pressing F
3. Select “Heal me”
4. Select “Heal injury”, “Heal wounds” or “Heal radiation”.
5. If your character has enough money, the doctor will heal you.
6. Close the menu once you are satisfied.

Keeping on top of your character’s health is important if you want to survive in the zone, do note these few things:

1. The doctor will heal you to full capacity but only if you have the required amount of money.
2. Health is not the same as wounds. Your maximum health can be reduced and mended by oncoming attacks, and white health kits/doctor healing respectively.
3. Radiation can kill you if you do not stay on top of it.

Animals:

Rabbit (Passive)
Brown bunny that runs away from player. Good source of pelt and raw meat to sell.

Wolf (Hostile)
Gray wolf that runs away from the player when alone and towards its pack. (4-5 wolves) Good source of raw meat and wolf pelt. If you encounter a pack stay far away and shoot as they just stand there for some reason. I recommend a weapon with high mag size for them.

Boar (Hostile)
Big pig with large tusks that will charge the player. Very fast and high damage. I recommend running away unless you have a good amount of ammo and sprint bar. Drops raw meat, boar tusk, and boar pelt. I recommend a weapon with high damage (sniper/marksman/shotgun) for them.

Creatures:

Ghoul (Hostile)
White ghoul that only spawns in the town. Very fast and hard to shoot. Hard to deal with without a weapon with high fire rate. They're the reason why I would avoid the town early in the game.

Buildings
Be very careful when approaching buildings as sometimes they may have enemies nearby. (Enemies are never inside surprisingly)

Abandoned Shack/Shed/House:
Run down shack in the woods. Sometimes has a fence around it that you can't see over. Sometimes has loot inside or outside in a box. Good source of materials and food.

*You might bump into a passive human named Igor who will give you a quest inside one of these buildings. Doing his quest will have him loot for you and place it in a box in his house. Very useful friend as he gives some high quality materials, food, meds, etc.*

Bandit Base:
Typically guarded by 2-3 bandits (Usually two inside and one outside)

Green Army Base:
Usually 3-5 Green Army dudes patrolling around. You can walk in and loot their stuff and they won't care.

Town:
Location marked as gray lines on the middle of the map. Has quest items inside but very dangerous without good equipment. Avoid until your ready. Inside the town there's ghouls running around the outer perimeter and a bandit leader with elite guards at the center.

Sawmill:
A large light gray box on the map. Guarded by lots of bandits avoid until your ready.

Anomalies
A field of radiation and a dangerous element with a (green or red) crystal. Pressing G key (default) will throw a bolt that could help figure out where the mines are. Just spam G all over the field.

Red Crystal:
Area where there's a red crystal surrounded by invisible flame mines essentially. You can sometimes see them flare up so know where some are. Also radiates the crap out of you so have anti-rads or alcohol ready.

Green Crystal:
Area where there's a green crystal surrounded by invisible poison mines essentially. The poison mist is always visible but sometimes there's poison mines that flare up as well. Also radiates the crap out of you so have anti-rads or alcohol ready.

Events
These are game generated events that could happen while your exploring. They happen at random and sometimes don't happen at all.

Airdrop:
You will hear a helicopter fly overhead and then the general area of a airdrop gets marked on your map. If you don't have at least two guns and a good amount of ammo ignore and avoid the area. If you do decide to go for the package, there will be at least 5-6 bandits surrounding the area guarding the package. They will be spread out and not bunched together.
Airdrop is a blue box that contains high quality guns/meds/ammo/electronics.

When you decide to leave you need to head to the green circles on the map (m key) to leave.

Extraction zones are always on the borders of the map.

Tip: Go to the extraction point first and then work your way back to your mission goals. Doing this means you have a clear retreat path (no running into packs of wolves or boars as your're trying to get to extraction. It also makes walking while overloaded significantly safer, so you can loot that extra gun or two.

Take your time getting there and don't just run.

Upon reaching the circle text should show up saying extracting in 5 and count down. Just stand still and wait. Make sure to watch your surroundings enemies sometimes pop up out of nowhere.

So base building is essentially putting down modules into your room in the bunker. (With your stash)

How to build:
1) Press the J key (default) and click the house icon.
2) Click the module you would like. (Infirmary, Garden, etc)
3) Put your cursor/mouse over the hold here to install text.
4) Hold the right mouse button down.

What this does is install the module in your base. However, the module is level 0 so it currently doesn't exist and doesn't give you anything. What you want to do is go to the crafter and look at the modules you can craft. Then when you have the materials craft it. From there the module becomes level 1 and starts benefiting you.

Remember that unless you set the module in your base the game won't let you build it!

-The stash can be upgraded multiple times to give you more tabs to store items. It can be upgraded twice with mark 1 kit then twice again with mark 2.

-The other modules can't be upgraded past level 1 so don't craft another module!

-My personal base and what I recommend is: Shooting Range, Gym, Ammo Producer, Infirmary, Bedroom, and Kitchen.

-If for some reason you want to remove a module just go into the build menu through the PDA (house icon) and click the hold to uninstall button. This will delete the module and it will not be refunded or given to you! You'll have to rebuild it in the crafter again.
