Do you have air drops on? Are you looting everything? by that i mean trash containers, mailboxes, cars, etc? or are you just looking in "high" loot areas? Yeah, air drops every 3 days and marked on map. forgot about that bit of help... And yep, loot everything I come across like mailboxes etc. I just avoid the "high value" poi's like crack a book and shotgun messiah, even though they are just down the street from me. 2 minutes ago, pregnable said: Yeah the robotic sledge seems pretty cool, I am going to test it out with a modification to my base to see if it can just melee them all safely from above heh. The same design lets me melee from the top of the base with a spear, which might make them seem more useful again IDK. I am not sure, I can almost always get a 1 shot kill with the blunderbuss on nomad. Are you zooming in to aim? I never aim with it... I always hipfire and have very good results. sometimes zoom, sometimes no.. doesn't seem to make much diff in my game. If I am close enough to touch them and zoom for the head shot then yeah, but not on Moe, or the bikers.. those are strictly 2 shots from a lvl 6 blunder always.

rubens9311 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Moderators or ADmis start silencing or banning people. It is becoming a toxic snowball that grows with each answer. It is just a tip. I want the discussions of the stone shovel to come back (I was laughing at this haha) or when they added mods for the vehicles Gracias / Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a grave digger mod in my stone shovel, but will take it out and compare just to be sure. but just straight pretty sure it beats a lvl 1 iron hands down. And why would you want to silence people? just because? Nobody should ever silence someone because they have a dissenting opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, you must have the worst RNG luck ever. I haven't even completed day one, and I've only looted 2 small houses, but mostly trash piles and such on the way to the trader for the starter quests, and I already have all of this: (plus after taking that screen shot and walking back to base I also found the schem for shotgun turret and armor pockets.

Phoenixshade35 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 ya, even with level 2 sex rex iron doesn't feel worth it, even with coffee or mega crush, steel feels right for the stamina drain but iron i do agree feels harsh, with level 3 sex rex and the ergonomic grip makes a big difference. Speaking of similarites or odd things needing balance, when i used the ratchet over the wrench i didnt notice any difference, maybe in damage but no real gains, the impact driver i noticed a world of difference for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since apparently you are the subject of some weird gypsy curse preventing you from finding anything on your current settings? The game is supposed to be mostly fun with some frustration ... not mostly frustration with some fun. Just a suggestion, not a commentary on your play style.

pregnable Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Yeah I pretty much only use stone tools all game, sometimes as my main weapon lel. Although I usually use an iron or steel axe for melee now when I can, cause it is worth for combat. Basically everything I have been using can be seen in this screenshot. Have not even found a tier 6 stone axe yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it makes you happy, then do it. Why torture yourself trying to do something just because someone else does it that way? That's my favorite thing about this game ... the freedom to do pretty much anything you want (because, let's be honest ... it's certainly not the zombies. They give me nightmares). If it's not available in the vanilla game, there's probably a mod out there for whatever it is. Heck, there's a mod out there that creates zombie pinup art (really kind of pretty and artsy). There are so many creative and talented people making mods and additions to the game, there's really no reason to be frustrated by something like this. You don't have to play your game the same way I do, or Glock9 (whoever that is ... for a long time I thought you were talking about the gun and i was picturing a base built like a handgun) plays or anyone else plays.

Default is 8 zombies at a time. Why not start there and work your way up? You will still get the same number of overall zombies but they will trickle out more slowly. Of course if you enjoy using explosives then 32 at a time can be the more efficient way to work through the horde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the least of my worries since i use a glock9 style base... The only time it's a issue is when i am up in the high hundreds days and i fall through a door/hole in the base right into the mob. It's the rest of the time i have a issue with.

But then again, I just play on default, so toning things down via settings just doesn't sit right either. I am not Rambo, or JoJo, but I don't want to have to turn things down from default (which is what anybody should be able to play on hence the name) to get a fun experience. kinda conflicted I know, but that's just the way it is. 8 minutes ago, Pegasus said: The last time I tried to use explosives I blew myself up.

And even then I have almost killed myself with those on more than a few times. At the risk of destroying my easy-peasy, "kill-em by the truckload", BN hoard tactics... The pipe bomb is a cheap weapon. A quick "Right-click-left-click" will drop a lite pipe bomb straight down on the zombies, make sure your out of the damage radius I guess, goes without saying. That's why I keep it at 8 active zombies at a time, higher numbers are WAY too easy, as i built my base to compress them all in a small-ish area.

Onarr Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Damn I start to love junk sledges. Last horde night I made a little gatehouse, where I can shoot from the sides. The floor towards the garage door is electrified and right in front of the door I put the junk sledge. At the end of the night it got about 2-3 hits. Zombie runs in - gets electrified - headshoted. Those that make it get pushed back. If I get overwhelmed by numbers I toss grenade. Damn this is effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you realize that there is no way for RWG to go gold until EVERY single POI is implemented, as there's always elevation and placement problems due to POIs being varied and different in size. Just stating the obvious here, as per my title. That's wrong instead of obvious. Adding a new POI to random gen is 1 entry in the list of POI and it can be included on the next regen.

A bigger timed charge with the explosive properties of dynamite. It being sticky makes it better at destroying structures. Or you use the dynamite that you already have.
