Idk why I laughed so much imagining someone casually walking away from zombies eating a packet of chips and drinking water while still shouting at them
just with the demeanour like it's a chore, like "Okay, taken out the trash, washed my clothes, walked the giant horde of zombies away, watered the crops.."
Gotta need those protein to punch them. Personally i would drink a beer then take a molotov and throw it in their head. It would probably kill a brunch of them And what is cooler than a man walking like a boss followed by 300 zombie that are so close you can smell their breath (well you can smell them from several meters but you've got the point). Having a Guy walking like a boss un front of 300 zombie, drinking a beer then throwing a molotov so he can walk like a boss with a cigarette in front of 300 zombie on fire.
So that's why some places of cities got those huge groups of zeds coming out of nowhere on multiplayer, they are the leftovers of a player relocating them
@@DezZzO_YT Or bugs. My friends server kept changing the server settings by itself for some reason, things like zombie spawning, day duration and so on. For some reason one of those times was massive horders spawning right next to my base even though I had cleared the area and no other player had visited the region.
Me, being a total newbie, starting a serious playthrough, carefully, like a chemist choosing percs and then getting straight eaten by a swarm after 2 minutes of starting
Imagine just joining a server, all is good you’re on your first day, you go to a warehouse to find some loot early on, you open the door and you get flooded by a literal nation sized amount of people.
the main problem with this is that you now have hordes of zombies in 1 location and even if its away from you i see that zombies tend to stay together so when they come back they will all come back together, so if you wanted to set up a base i would use a more planned version of this where you have a fire started at that location so when you lead the zombies there it also kills them. which means the zombies will come back slower and in smaller groups.
Setting up a fire is a natural continuation of this technique, though I find it to be way more cheesy than just simple pulling, kinda kills the fun in the whole game for me. At least with pulling you kinda have zombies to fight later on. Though, sometimes they can rotate in the opposite direction of cities.
@@DezZzO_YT lategame i sweep the map continuously with no zombie respawn until there are no zombies left. boredom isnt a issue when there are a few decent mods and you make your world tuffer than the zombies inside of it
Honestly I might want them in one location just because it'd be cool, Walking Dead type experience where 5 years later I look outside of my base and a MASSIVE horde is shambling up to my walls and I have to fight to keep it lol
The fun thing about this game is that the panic mechanic also happens irl. New players will panic a lot and run, the experienced ones know this is a thing but still make mistakes, only veteran players that have been desensitised by the game would be able to pull this off everytime.
This pulling technique is great when you pair it with a molotov cocktail burn at the end. That way the horde doesn't shuffle back over after a few weeks and scare the heck out of you.
Just gotta make sure you have a place to take additional waves. Don't wanna run into the first ones you pulled away while you're pulling the second wave away.
Love the technique of luring small hordes of zombies through a window and proceed to stomp their heads one by one, while wearing boots/combat boots. 20 days in with a veteran survivor with a few zombies killed, my favorite weapon still my bare hands.
@@pedromiguel748 exploiting windows and fences is really useful, but sometimes one misstimed/laggy stomp can literally end your life. It's viable, but with time I consider this to be too risky. Also there's no way to kite hordes this way, guaranteed death.
@@pedromiguel748 I set up a wall frame on the other side of a window and then stomped away for about 15 minutes as they kept breaking in. The door was blocked by a TV because realism isn't necessary for my enjoyment.
Can happen lol, though you can use this as an opportunity to pull even more zombies away, also you can pull first waves far enough so they won't hear the alarms.
The best way to do this is to go up until step 3, then once you get that big group of them throw a Molotov cocktail and circle around until they burn, make sure to do this in a field and away from any cars as from the last time i did this it made one of my cars randomly spawn fire inside of a warehouse that was 2 blocks away because a little fire touched it!
Tbf the best known method is a car with siren + a campfire, requires minimal staff, zero risk and you can't even lose the car, just come back and "smell the ashes" if you know what I mean
@@eggzacklee nope, not at all. They're too much for vanilla difficulties. Vanilla difficulties are basically a tutorial, average player outgrows them in like 100~ hours, after that zombies and loot there are just too boring and don't offer much challenge
@@eggzacklee yeah it's too early for you to try out sprinters anyway, if you stay in PZ for long enough (like a few hundred of hours) I'd recommend to start from mixed sprinters (look for a mod in workshop), 3-5%~ of them is plenty enough for a solid challenge. Don't try 100% sprinters. It's literally unplayable if you're going to play in towns and not go full wilderness mode since day 1
Yes I have to do this and also the courage to do it XD whenever there's a horde especially a huge one I panic more than my in game character and end up running away , but thank you this will be useful in the future! Also I'm new to the game but dedicated because it's really fun,
Cherish these feelings of fear while you still have them. With time zombies will feel like beating bags and only setting their speed to sprinters will return those new player feelings :)
There's more easy way to do this: just use a car with siren. And a little tip: you can leave the car with siren on to lure more zeds and drive away by another that you hid in a quiet place in advance.
Absolutely true and car siren strat is way more effective, especially if you combine it with a molotov/campfire Issue is that you can't do the car strat without Burglar occupation/Mechanic + Engineer traits or luck on day 1 and zombie pulling technique can be done as soon as you leave your starting house with any character. You literally don't need anything for it Plus, second point of this video was to demonstrate how easily you can make hordes of zombies lose you, which would be impossible to demonstrate in a car
Oh how lucky these kids are now a days…I remember first playing zombiod 10 years ago and having to figure this all out on my own..Many a virtual character ment their end to some of my mistakes…Good times!
This is awesome man. Pz is one of my favorite zombie games and easily competes with games like dying light in my book simply because of the atmosphere and amount of things that can happen. The closest thing you can get to a real life zombie simulator
True, honestly I can't even compare it to Dying Light because the games seem to be pretty different, DL feels more like a L4D style game in terms of how it treats zombies and what it focuses on gameplay wise, while PZ tries to be an actual simulator, but I never played DL so no clue
aye dude thanks bought this game a week ago maximum i reached was 10 days i used escape with this technique now you opened my third eye i can use the technique to clear the whole area thanks man

@@kennypowers2341 Yeah, the very popular 'more traits' mod introduces "antique collector". Seems like a useless trait until you realise that it gives you a chance to find rare items and rare skill books. One of which is the skill book for cannibalism and turning bodies into fertiliser.

High pop sprinters, randomised stats. Cars and guns were extremely risky. Even with Brita weapons - there's sometimes way more than 30 sprinters.
This is like one of the most important skill anyone needs to learn. This is used to lead the horde away, use shotgun, or use fire burn them. Before you do this you need enough food and water, ideally 2 bottle of water and 3-5 chips, in case you can’t lose them these supply will last you awhile.
Honestly if it's not magical zombies, you could literally wait out any real life zombies, realistically speaking none of the known zombies (romero, TWD, 28 days later, RE etc.) would last longer than a few days at the best.
in real life the zombies that have been recently infected would be runners, as they deteriorate they would become slower until a few months pass Then you will be able to walk faster than them
@@DezZzO_YT I like to think if a “zombie” scenario happened, we’d all be in the same boat as people in the show and most games. An unknown virus that does different things then what we would expect. A cordyceps fungus is the most likely.

Hey thx for the advice ^^ just to clarify, what do you mean by they "can return with time" ? Do they "teleport" after a long time not where they spawned ? Or you'r just saying that they can walk back to you randomly ? thx again, simple and effective content 👋
Np, glad you enjoyed. By "return with time" I meant that zombies will naturally try to occupy empty tiles (the ones that don't have enough zombies). They will migrate towards empty tiles with time. It's not going to happen in a day or two, but something to be wary about.
@@M.AZZAM8976 are you sure about that info? 52k zombies should be total zombie population on the whole map with 1.0 zed population. Main Riverside: around 1500 zeds. Trailer neighbourhood of Riverside: around 600 zeds. Country Club: around 500-700 zeds. Ekron: around 800 zeds. Pony Roam-o: 300 zeds. Isolated cabins and houses in the west of the game: 3800 zeds. Rosewood+Prison: 5500. Secret military base: 5000. March Ridge: 2400. Muldraugh: 4000. Dixie: 350. West Point: 5000. Valley Station: 4500 The Mall: 4000.
The fact that you can outspeed fast shamblers while only walking is the reason I started playing and sprinters. I set them to 12% occurence using the "Random Zombies" mod, so I can't cheese my way through hordes without fear anymore. Gotta stay on your toes to catch the occasionnal runners !
Yeah, shamblers can get pretty boring quickly. Even insane pop doesn't really make them interesting when you're pretty experienced. It's just gets tiresome to clear them out
I love using this strat! If anyone actually reads this just keep in mind if you do this near a place where you want to set up a base any zombies in said base location will either break the windows or doors while trying to get to you. Broken doors are annoying, but can be an ez fix, but broken windows makes the insulation for the building go down for when it starts becoming colder.
Protip: destroyed windows are not a permanent loss. You can pick up windows with a crowbar via pickup option and then replace broken ones with new ones.
@@DezZzO_YT when I loot a building I like to close the door. If the building has everything intact then when you loot you can hear any zombies coming for you. It also helps get the zombies out faster
@@arthurburnett9886 ah, I used to do this too. Now I kinda don't care because before I start looting buildings, I make so much noise there's basically not a chance there's still just random zombies that might crawl up to me.
Not sure if they actually do, the way it works for sure is that they will try to fill empty nearby tiles, I've had situations when zeds never came back, because they spread out around wild areas and just got stuck there.
I did this in a server I was in, and funny enough I rounded at least 50+ zombies to a forest, while playing I was with around 7 people doing there own thing, then I just hear someone yelling and "WHY ARE THERE SO MANY IN THE FOREST! WHAT THE FUCK!" And so the admin deleted them all, lol. He didn't know they was from the town so with the help of being a sneaky boy I got rid of 50+ zombies without raising a shovel, it's a great trick for dealing with a bunch of zombies but god it takes awhile.
@@DezZzO_YT Yeah he wanted people to enjoy the game not having to kill zombies constantly... oh wait that's the game, lmao. I told him to let the zombies be there, since it's what happens if they did exist, they'd group together and migrate to different places, in this case it was me moving them to a different place like a Walking Dead episode, and it worked. Deleteing all of them where I lead them just made them respawn and just get more intense, houses didn't have zombies but there was always 4-5 around any house which was annoying af, talked to the admin about it and helped him sort the server settings, been playing for awhile.
i like this a lot if you cant kill them by bits (usually on the very beginning, when you may not have enough weapons). i never put fire since it destroys a lot of resources on the zombies as lighters, cigarettes, newspapers, magazines, backpacks, clothing, weapons, painkillers, watches, etc... you also lose the opportunity to farm a lot of xp for nimble, sneaking, and the weapon ones. its lazy and you dont get as strong as you could become.
Idk if it's just me but using the this strat excessively just kinda puts the game on easy mode, not hating at all just I see it like removing the danger and fun from the game. Really smart strat tho!
Some advice that might help: when you get the first horde bundled up, try to do what the guy in the video did and lure them to an area away from buildings and such. Instead of leaving them, burn them, shoot them, kill them somehow. Get rid of the horde somehow so you don’t have to worry about it later. This sortve thing is great on a world with no respawns, but it’s less of a necessity with respawns enabled. If you’re on multiplayer and wanna do some good for others, dragging them off to a mostly open area would be good. If you want to troll, drag the horde into buildings you know are high value, such as groceries or even the gun stores or police stations if they haven’t been looted yet. Extra cruel if you burn the horde in these buildings. And if you want to make it a challenge, try and loot what you can before you burn the horde. It’ll be tricky if they’re right on you, but that’s the point of the word “challenge”.
You can actually craft Noise Maker device or quickly turn on the lights of outdoor light sources to take attention of zeds. Issue is that Noise Maker device takes lvl 3 engineering skill level and light source bait is not reliable and really situational. You can also use car siren, but it's also RNG. You need hotwiring + find a car in a okay condition for this to work. Also this doesn't take as much time as you think, but I can agree it's not the most fun thing in the world after you get used to it.
It is, but this video is supposed to be a demonstration of a technique you can pull off without any resources: no molotovs, no cars, no weapons, just you and your two legs. Getting a car early can be pretty RNG.
@@DezZzO_YT that's what I'm getting at. I tried to clear out the Rosewood gas station via drive by shooting. A few dead zombies and a beat up car is all I had to show for my troubles.this seems far more effective
Great strat and vid! Louisville buildings can be tricky, though. Zombies can/will spawn into buildings the first time you SEE the internals of the building. So there may be some buildings that you think you drew zeds out of, but then you see inside the building for the first time, and now there's a bunch more zeds.
Yeah that works, though I usually set migration to 1 hours because it works okay and I usually disable respawns and peak pop because the way they work is just stupid
Imagine doing this irl. You've successfully pulled it off dozens of times. You've got a couple hundred creeps tailing you while you casually snack on some jerky. Then you trip...
Idk why I laughed so much imagining someone casually walking away from zombies eating a packet of chips and drinking water while still shouting at them
It's pretty fun to do in-game, you can also smoke for bonus badass points
just with the demeanour like it's a chore, like "Okay, taken out the trash, washed my clothes, walked the giant horde of zombies away, watered the crops.."

Yeah, pretty much the case. Also not all veterans get used to zombies and tricky situations, so that's another pretty fun correlation with IRL panic.
@@DezZzO_YT As well as your accuracy is reduced due to adrenaline shaking your hands.....
This pulling technique is great when you pair it with a molotov cocktail burn at the end. That way the horde doesn't shuffle back over after a few weeks and scare the heck out of you.
Better to pair it with shotgun training. You get a nice fast road to becoming a legendary gunslinger.

By "return with time" I meant that zombies will naturally try to occupy empty tiles (the ones that don't have enough zombies). They will migrate towards empty tiles with time.
It's not going to happen in a day or two, but something to be wary about.
Zombies are also are able to respawn, if you look in the sandbox settings it takes around 72 hours for an un observed chunk to respawn zombies
@@vamsigagjew1535 yeah, though majority of players tend to disable this setting
@@M.AZZAM8976 are you sure about that info? 52k zombies should be total zombie population on the whole map with 1.0 zed population.
Main Riverside: around 1500 zeds.
Trailer neighbourhood of Riverside: around 600 zeds.
Country Club: around 500-700 zeds.
Ekron: around 800 zeds.
Pony Roam-o: 300 zeds.
Isolated cabins and houses in the west of the game: 3800 zeds.
Rosewood+Prison: 5500.
Secret military base: 5000.
March Ridge: 2400.
Muldraugh: 4000.
Dixie: 350.
West Point: 5000.
Valley Station: 4500
The Mall: 4000.

VS
The chad fence tripper (he cracks MAD skulls)
Lmao, to be fair both strats are risky with tons of zeds
"Jarvis, speed up footage and play Can you feel my heart over it."
Me, a engineer main: That's nice, but when do we burn them all tho? :D

And remember. Do not use this tactic to pull a mega horde into online players bases ( :
Some people are going to do what you just told them not to do if they haven't already.
@@Cacowninja that was the point of the whole comment lmao
@@jabloko992 Mmmhmm.
@@Cacowninja you'd think an anarchist would have a better sense of humour. especially when it involves causing chaos.
@@the-letter_s Dude I literally just answered obviously to a joke and you're saying I don't have a good sense of humor?
That's simply ridiculous.
next dude to go in those woods for a camping trip is gonna have fun
The fact that you can outspeed fast shamblers while only walking is the reason I started playing and sprinters. I set them to 12% occurence using the "Random Zombies" mod, so I can't cheese my way through hordes without fear anymore. Gotta stay on your toes to catch the occasionnal runners !
Yeah, shamblers can get pretty boring quickly. Even insane pop doesn't really make them interesting when you're pretty experienced. It's just gets tiresome to clear them out
Alternate option: Pull out your crowbar and show the zombies that your 13 positive points went straight to blunt prowess and gordanite traits
I feel sorry for whoever uses those woods later xDDD
Hoho… are you approaching me?
No! WAIT!
I love using this strat! If anyone actually reads this just keep in mind if you do this near a place where you want to set up a base any zombies in said base location will either break the windows or doors while trying to get to you. Broken doors are annoying, but can be an ez fix, but broken windows makes the insulation for the building go down for when it starts becoming colder.
Protip: destroyed windows are not a permanent loss. You can pick up windows with a crowbar via pickup option and then replace broken ones with new ones.
I like to open all the front doors to buildings as i run by. Saves alot of destruction.
@@arthurburnett9886 plenty of doors will be locked and it's not like you really need them though? Or do you like to preserve the city?
@@DezZzO_YT when I loot a building I like to close the door. If the building has everything intact then when you loot you can hear any zombies coming for you. It also helps get the zombies out faster
@@arthurburnett9886 ah, I used to do this too. Now I kinda don't care because before I start looting buildings, I make so much noise there's basically not a chance there's still just random zombies that might crawl up to me.
Now try this with runner Zombies.
If I had 1$ for every similiar comment :P
Thanks gonna do this on my next sprinter run
Please don't lol. I think worse than attempting this with sprinters is to attempt this with randomized zombies.
@@DezZzO_YT too late
@@playerpp3733 oh no
@@DezZzO_YT any tips to deal with the moodle “zombified”??
Just had to do that with a car, that even safer.
50 thousand zombies used to live here, now it's a ghost town.
I believe zeds return to their original slot after a little while. very usefull nontheless , we'll be prepared when they do :)
Not sure if they actually do, the way it works for sure is that they will try to fill empty nearby tiles, I've had situations when zeds never came back, because they spread out around wild areas and just got stuck there.
they respawn in the original place after gettint too far
@@brandonaraya7598 only with respawns on though
As a new player, this is going to help me. Thank you!
Glad it helps!
I did this in a server I was in, and funny enough I rounded at least 50+ zombies to a forest, while playing I was with around 7 people doing there own thing, then I just hear someone yelling and "WHY ARE THERE SO MANY IN THE FOREST! WHAT THE FUCK!" And so the admin deleted them all, lol. He didn't know they was from the town so with the help of being a sneaky boy I got rid of 50+ zombies without raising a shovel, it's a great trick for dealing with a bunch of zombies but god it takes awhile.
I mean, who deletes zombies from a Project ZOMBOID server, lol. What is this admin
@@DezZzO_YT Yeah he wanted people to enjoy the game not having to kill zombies constantly... oh wait that's the game, lmao. I told him to let the zombies be there, since it's what happens if they did exist, they'd group together and migrate to different places, in this case it was me moving them to a different place like a Walking Dead episode, and it worked. Deleteing all of them where I lead them just made them respawn and just get more intense, houses didn't have zombies but there was always 4-5 around any house which was annoying af, talked to the admin about it and helped him sort the server settings, been playing for awhile.
Feels like training zombies in cod
i like this a lot if you cant kill them by bits (usually on the very beginning, when you may not have enough weapons).
i never put fire since it destroys a lot of resources on the zombies as lighters, cigarettes, newspapers, magazines, backpacks, clothing, weapons, painkillers, watches, etc... you also lose the opportunity to farm a lot of xp for nimble, sneaking, and the weapon ones.
its lazy and you dont get as strong as you could become.
Its all fun and games till the bigass horde migrates back to the city all at once and annihilate you lol
They won't :P
Idk if it's just me but using the this strat excessively just kinda puts the game on easy mode, not hating at all just I see it like removing the danger and fun from the game. Really smart strat tho!
I absolutely agree. One of the reasons I'm never doing this strat or mass zombie fires too. It's boring.
I do it a bit, but only if needed. Always make a note to go kill the horde off later, so really postponing the fighting than avoiding it
Or just change it to sprinters
@@foxunit5271 sprinters tend to be a very drastic change in difficulty, but yeah that's an option
Some advice that might help: when you get the first horde bundled up, try to do what the guy in the video did and lure them to an area away from buildings and such. Instead of leaving them, burn them, shoot them, kill them somehow. Get rid of the horde somehow so you don’t have to worry about it later. This sortve thing is great on a world with no respawns, but it’s less of a necessity with respawns enabled.
If you’re on multiplayer and wanna do some good for others, dragging them off to a mostly open area would be good. If you want to troll, drag the horde into buildings you know are high value, such as groceries or even the gun stores or police stations if they haven’t been looted yet. Extra cruel if you burn the horde in these buildings. And if you want to make it a challenge, try and loot what you can before you burn the horde. It’ll be tricky if they’re right on you, but that’s the point of the word “challenge”.
The helicopter few days later : i'm about to end this man's whole career
Quite the opposite actually, if you pull far enough (like in this video is fine) all that might come during heli is just random few zeds
Tried this died first run. Tried again. Died. Tried once more succeeded thank you for this epic advice Big PP for you.
Glad it worked
It would be funny if after clearing all that zone, you entered a building and would trigger an alarm.
Helping zombies having a beach party! Nice!
Win-Win for everyone involved.
Managing to pull this off without getting eaten is the true skill test.
Easier than it seems to be honest
Very good tactic, I do the same thing but then throw a molotov when I get a good horde so they don't come back
*Pulls out cigarette*
We called these trains back in my day
Even after I've progressed in the game, I still use this technique. But with having the ability to light them up with fire :D
this is how the whisperers from the walkimg dead formed herds...neber thought of doing it this way
I saw that hoard, my molotov urge skyrocketed
It's a super tedious job, they should be introducing decoy devices like flares, sound grenades.
You can actually craft Noise Maker device or quickly turn on the lights of outdoor light sources to take attention of zeds. Issue is that Noise Maker device takes lvl 3 engineering skill level and light source bait is not reliable and really situational. You can also use car siren, but it's also RNG. You need hotwiring + find a car in a okay condition for this to work.
Also this doesn't take as much time as you think, but I can agree it's not the most fun thing in the world after you get used to it.
Very useful for the first week in game
truely helpful for west point noob start, i had a hard time with hordes there
*Lights molotov with malicious intent*
I don’t even play this game but watched this from start to finish
Happens to me too often
And then one house has alarm all the lil zombinos come running back :(
If you pull them far enough they won't all come back at once for sure
The walking animation sped up makes it look like you're skating
A lot of people mentioned it looks like classic Michael Jackson moonwalk
That too
*Kino Der Toten starts playing*
I once brought a flute with me so that i can roleplay as the pied piper using a mod that allowed me to play songs on instruments
Now i really want artillery/air support mod, watch those hordes "get pranked" will be so satisfying 😂
Our man here stiring the herd like a true whisperer
this remind me of that scene from shawn of the dead where shawn just runs into the horde of zombies
My Man really wanted that cure
sometimes doing this on multiplayer server makes me feels like a whisper from TWD.
Seems to be more effective than trying to drive around shooting them. I will have to try it out.
It is, but this video is supposed to be a demonstration of a technique you can pull off without any resources: no molotovs, no cars, no weapons, just you and your two legs. Getting a car early can be pretty RNG.
@@DezZzO_YT that's what I'm getting at. I tried to clear out the Rosewood gas station via drive by shooting. A few dead zombies and a beat up car is all I had to show for my troubles.this seems far more effective
Usually I set up an alarm clock outside where I want to go in then try and loot it really fast but this seems to be a much better strat
Less safe, but faster
Imagine when npcs come in new update and them attract zombies back in the town
Great strat and vid! Louisville buildings can be tricky, though. Zombies can/will spawn into buildings the first time you SEE the internals of the building. So there may be some buildings that you think you drew zeds out of, but then you see inside the building for the first time, and now there's a bunch more zeds.
Yeah, some of the LV buildings are so high your sounds literally doesn't reach the last floors. Clearing these builds is like a dungeon raid lol.
*Ok now try this in a game with sprinters enabled.*
One day... one day
I call it whispering cuz that was what whisperers do in walking dead
"oh you're apporaching me?"
never thought I'd see a Katana-wielding Michael Jackson.
This is the best tip you can give to new pz player
Anyone else occasionally find themselves rolling their mouse wheel to zoom in while watching Zomboid vids?
Hate that zombies return after you get back from a long-looting run in a different town?
Sandbox>Zombies Expanded> migration time> set 69420 hours
Yeah that works, though I usually set migration to 1 hours because it works okay and I usually disable respawns and peak pop because the way they work is just stupid
That one guy living in the woods:💀
no wonder you could do it. you have mangekyou
I could do that, or I could continue being a shotgun wielding maniac clearing out zeds in the thousands singlehandedly
That works too lol
This is like the thing we did in Nazi Zombies back then to do easter eggs or if someone had to afk for a while. lol
I mainly just pull everyone together, lead them to a forest and have one big bonfire
Imagine doing this irl. You've successfully pulled it off dozens of times. You've got a couple hundred creeps tailing you while you casually snack on some jerky.
Then you trip...
Honestly both in PZ and IRL you wouldn't really want to be THAT near zeds
@@DezZzO_YT right. Gotta stay sharp and keep your distance. Complacency kills
You can also pull them through a building and lose them awesome vid
True dat
**2 years later**
something to keep in mind is that if you dont look into buildings zombies will not spawn in there until you do
people who play with super zombies are taking notes rn..
my pc would melt like it's nothing with this strat lol
Is it that bad lol, my PC is nothing to write stories about too but it handles hordes okay
I would be sooo satisfying to have explosives by then.
Runners question mark
They run you die
