How to avoid zombies when entering a room in Project Zomboid

In the game Project Zomboid, you can use the space bar to knock on doors before opening them. If there are zombies behind the door, they will make a noise, alerting you to their presence. This technique is essential for safe exploration and complements other early survival strategies.

You can also use the Q button to yell while crouching, which will also alert any zombies in the vicinity. If there are too many zombies, you can double tap the E key to take a quick peek inside the room and then run if necessary. When you do need to run, remember to manage your stamina effectively - check our guide on automatic running techniques for efficient movement.
