speaking of hundo mark.. past that about 46 hours ago. talk about binge gaming for days on end. i game, spend time with kid.. cook dinner and game.. im nearly finished playing this game. ive basically beat it in a sense... too much ammo.. too much food.. too much everythang..
day 112 horde is tomar. my horde base defense are nearly complete. i still haven't built the very inner defenses. this is mostly due to the fact im bored with building large setups, plus im preoccupied with exploring. my funnel technique didn't work last horde week, nor the week prior. the ai pathfinding accounts for traps it seems and 80% of the zombies took a longer route breaking through unprotected walls instead of taking a straight line through the boom.. however, this week i did manged to add other defense to said walls and i will see if that make the ai choose the funnels over the other get fucked areas.
this base is overkill as is. with a powerful arsenal the zombies have no chance, at least not at this stage of the game. i can make rocket launcher ammo now, soooo boom goes the dynamitez..
im done collecting resources for the most part. im not hording more shat than needed. all i look for is coal and nitrate for the most part and reup wood.. i have tons of most thangs..... basically im just stockpiling shit to make more and more ammo
i make 7.62 rounds and save those for horde day. i dont make 9mm at all, i normally just collect those. i do make a lot of shotgun shells. shells dont require brass, so its not a bad weapon to use as a daily grinder. ive been having to carry one when entering buildings. im running into irradiated zombies, footballers and running day zombies in buildings from time to time.. idk if thats a bug in my game, but i thought they only ran at night.
if im not going inside buildings im taking out day zombies with me blade.. will even take on day hordes with just a blade. they are either too easy to kill or some buggy zombies become tanks. zombie bears are being spawned on me a lot.. talk about shotgun sponges. but im building up that perk and will destroy all soon enough.
built up a bank of money selling drawbridges and stockpiles of resources the last few weeks. that shit combined with treasure hauls im sitting at 150k or so. thats after buying 7 20k+ solar panels as well.
idk what im going to do with the solar set up. im waiting for a second solar bank so i can test one and not worry if i cant move the first bank later.
ptp.. the wooden spikes are still king... especially when ur armed up..
one could just build a lil 2x2 tower, hell even a 1 block tower.... maybe even a tree house thats high enough to see the enemies and then surround it with 1000s of spikes and youre good to go if you can aim and take out the cops and radiated zombies.. or you could just build cheap ai fuckinig fall traps..
best loot area is the bank in the nw corner of the stock map. tons of safes.. idk when the map respawns loot but it does.
Not a bug.... they are called feral zombies.... a feral version of a zombie always runs in default settings and they are tougher than their normal counterpart.
Their eyes look orange if you happen to look one down long enough.
I was deconstructing a car outside a shop the other day and zombies started banging on the door, breaking it down.
Usually 2-3 sleepers wake up and either take too long to break the door down, so I am gone by the time they get out or they break it down as I'm finishing the car off and I just dispatch them as they wander over.
This was 3 feral zombies lol.... they had the door broken down as I finished stage 1 of this car.
They came running out at me and I switched to my sniper rifle (I've stopped carrying sniper out when I scavenge for this reason).... and the sniper zoom had been left all the way zoomed in lol.... so I couldn't use it aiming down the scope, not to mention they were so fast I had maybe 3 seconds before they were on me.
I switched to my machete and backed up and found a regular skater punk zombie had come to join the party, he gave me a whack and I began bleeding (a reason to work on your armor).... so I slashed him down with the machete and began sprint back-pedaling away from the ferals.
I switched back to my sniper and had to hip shoot the first 2.... the 3rd one was bugged spinning in circles by the front door they came out of. Once on their back stunned I had time to aim and unzoom and kill one, then I had to hip fire on the 2nd one as he got up and rushed me and he died. Then I wasted 4 rounds tried to peg the bugged zombie in her dome as she glitched like a mofo.
Last I sniped the approaching skater punk zombie who had made it back to his feet.
Ferals make things interesting when you're out and about.... but I now carry a shotgun with buckshot to deal with short range encounters and also to level my shotty skills.
A 9mm also works fine and the ammo is similarly cheap to make alot of, but my pistol skill is like 40 pts higher than my shotty skill.
Aussie if you are lacking brass you should be running around deconstructing every car at any stage... the car radiator smelts into 100 brass... it is the best source in the game.... I have like 50 of them in my pile.... the only pain is you can only stack 5 of them so only 5 in a smelt pile and they take like 70 seconds per smelt, so they don't go fast, but are not slow enough to leave a pile of them and go off to do other stuff like when you drop a stack of iron or stone or clay.
I usually try to smelt my bronze while im in my work area crafting and organizing and skill spending.
