Entering Buildings
You need to know how to do this just to survive, and also to find any useful items. If you are outside and you run out of AP (or even just get close - that's why you get the big red warning when they get to 9 AP) you are very likely to die. Zombies can't enter most buildings without spending a lot of time (AP) working at it, so you are MUCH safer inside than outside. Even in buildings where zombies can reach you, they can not see you if they are just wandering around the map, so you are still a bit safer even in a building that has no defenses than you are standing in the streets.
To enter a building, you must move onto a block that has the building and then use the "enter building" button. However, barricades may impede your progress. If the building is described as Heavily barricaded, Very Heavily barricaded, or Extremely heavily barricaded (and many, many buildings are) you will not be able to enter.
Buildings that can be entered are described as Open, Secured, Loosely barricaded, Lightly barricaded, Quite Strongly barricaded, or Very Strongly barricaded. Buildings that are Quite Strongly and Very Strongly barricaded offer good protection against zombies. Lightly or Loosely barricaded buildings afford almost no protection (beyond getting you out of sight) and have likely come under attack recently. They may even still have zombies inside!
If you started as a military Scout, you will have the Free Running skill and can move directly from the interior of one building to the interior of a building in an adjacent block. You still must find a building you can enter, but from there you can move to buildings with the heavier barricades - which offer the best protection from zombies, and tend to also have high level survivors defending them.
If you did not start as a military Scout, buy the Free Running skill as quickly as you can!
