[A20 - Leveling is now pointless]

Okey dokey...just to comment to the OP in this meandering thread...

 

If I had a complaint about loot progression (which I do not!), it would be that, contrary to the OP's experience, I'm finding all kinds of useful and necessary items early game that I never used to. I get my beaker from the trader after 10 quests, found tons of schematics in (as stated earlier) in trash heaps, and better tools and weapons in general than I remember ever finding this early in A19.

 

Either way, I've paid way more for way less game and this one keeps me coming back (steam tells me I've wasted almost 9 months at this game --->7000 hours since A15 or so)

[Blood Moon Horde...Respawn on Leaving?]

That has been the case for many alphas so far. As far back as A15, this was the case, and it definitely happened in A19 - I'd log out and back in to respawn the horde for XP farming!

So far, I'm really enjoying the changes in A20.  Having the zombies crawl under and over areas definitely challenges some horde base designs for certain.   I'm not sure if the following is intended behavior or a bug though.

 

On day 7, first Blood Moon, I survived the horde at my horde base and they stopped spawning around 12:30 AM.  I spent the next 2 hours at my home base organizing my stash and then logged out.  It was roughly 2:45 AM.  When I logged back in, the Blood Moon horde respawned in full force and were at my front door before I could do anything.  Is this by design?  During early Blood Moons, can I finish the horde, log out, log back in and get a new horde spawned for extra XP?  Doesn't seem right.

mosin nagant is not a revolver it's a russian military rifle.

There is a Nagant revolver but the Mosin-Nagant is most definitely a bolt action rifle with a 5 round internal magazine that can be fed from stripper clips (and would be pretty darned cool to have in the game!). To the original post though, dual wield would also be cool but potentially difficult to map for - currently on the PC you have one function for attack and one for heavy attack. There could be a weapon specific mapping (say, two machete's, for example) where left and right mouse corresponds to that weapon hand and a power attack could be triggered by clicking both attack buttons at once...
