Complementary point for 3(bows and crossbows): Use crossbows as your main exploring weapon for its base damage, high alpha means the best bang for your buck with sneak damage. Bows would then be saved for horde night for the rate of fire.
An extra note on the Archery: Some folks don't think the explosion from explosive arrows will scale with Archery perks. BUT THEY DO! Shooting at the feet around a biker with a level 6 compound bow (standard difficulty in a test world) yielded me 135 damage with no perks, 205 with maxed Archery! So yeah factoring that into the already high damage (thanks for that FP) from the arrow or bolt makes it really useful for tougher zeds with direct hits, while also taking out the mooks they're usually traveling with rather handily. They're quite fun! Provided of course that you can find the book (even though the game just seems to THROW it at me in every world by day 3, guess my game really knows what I like). And I know someone will ask, no the explosives perks in the Perception tree will not help the damage. At all. Only Archery perks. Edited for auto correct shenanigans.
yeah with the changes to books you now find ranger's guide to archery and needle & thread very frequently in mailboxes as early as day 1. Like you can open 8 mailboxes and expect 6 books from those 2 series. The clothes one is whatever but the one for archery is insane.
Hows the healing on the drone even work? I cheated one in just to test it, put the healing mod on it, got hit, told it to heal me and waited.....it basically didnt do jack....did I need to do something else to it?
@@CMDRFandragon The drone only heals you if it has healing items. Give it bandages. I can't remember if I ever used first aid kits with it so I don't know if they work but probably do.

I don't trust my drone bc after a game crash I lost all stuff that my drone was carrying, including my steel pickaxe, shovel, 15 repair kits, honey and other medicals
I rely heavily on all kinds of turrets for horde defense, and haven't detonated a demo man yet. I've set off their timers myself, but roboturrets and autoturrets never have. They're placed at heights above the approaching enemies, so this may eliminate the chance of hitting the demo button.
They... They can STACK!? Neat :D But really, I think the drone was a good add to the game ^^ Very useful for when I'm digging for treasure and get the detection that something's lurking about
I literally started using Molotov's just this new game (day or two ago). Decided to try something new. Now I can't figure out why I was so boneheaded not to use them before. New best friend.
i wasn't using the molotovs or the pipebombs more often cuz i had anxiety when dealing even a single digit pixel of damage to my own blocks, but honestly it is barely noticable even if i threw thousands of them, but for the hatches i started using them as main line for defence, not only does it save time not to make a backdoor to enter, but it is also very protective and give a chance to make melee viable for defence too
I really hope they update first gen consoles. I'm still playing on version 18. I recently came back to playing after 5 years away and my original saves didn't even have the traders or chem set. So those and some other items are still new to me. I really wanna try the other vehicles and the drone. More inventory space would be such an upgrade.
Huh, the only mechanics I don't use here are hatches and the drone, it's a recent addition considering when I last played for any period of time and I haven't played around with it yet.
I really love all the agility tree weapons you get a ton of utility in one tree first the knife is good enough for melee when you get a machete and good mods bows are your bread and butter weapon with easy ammo and flaming and explosive arrows crossbow for your ranged weapon and both get better sneak attacks the hand guns give you a cheap ammo option with pistols a full auto weapon and a hard hitting weapon and works great with the new stair step style base and pairs well with intelligence traps
Stumbled across this, only real tip i didnt know was the drone. Generally I religiously start solo playthroughs with miner and mother lode in strength tree. In the very early game it is so damn helpful as it gives you a means to gain experience on the fly at night, rather than be stuck idling. Thats why i always make sure at night im doing trees n shit to upgrade my base. 2nd if a POI has a dog in it, I note it and If I have a firearm enough said. If I dont, then I come up with some kind of plan I improvise that SHOULD keep me alive regardless of difficulty, since I find they are the most dangerous early game foes that you will realistically have to fight early game. If you are fighting zombie bears on day 2, god f***ing help you! (I say that though I did beat a zombie bear on day 2 with nothing but a grade 2 I think it was an iron sledgehammer and doing nothing but back pedaling IN A19. I had one cloth armor on which gave 2 armor... on survivalist difficulty I had full health.... it hit me once. I got knocked down to 2hp. But by some miracle I managed to kill it. I am NOT making this up!) Finally - glasses/goggles. The nerd ones I use religiously. 10% extra xp, faster craft times, +1 intellect to allow access to forge & workbench recipes faster. Plus faster access to level 2 in better barter for 10% off items in shops. VERY helpful especially early and mid game as it gives you faster access to better guns or even vehicles like the motor cycle. I've sometimes had a motorcycle before day 4 or 5. The lucky goggles though are VERY helpful as they aid in buried treasure quests, giving +1 to treasure hunter basically in the sense of less tiles to dig before circle shrinks!
@@friendlyplayer92 yeah, but generally i think you can get away with not wearing em til you are looting. Otherwise you might be right. Not looting = nerd glasses. Are looting = Lucky goggles.
Throwing pipebombs between a closed door and a hatch and then opening the door you run for cover will kill the zombies on the other side of the now open door ;)
Check your armour noise level, I use padded armour for the zero noise increase along with at least level 3 of the Agility stealth perk. Is the crossbow louder than other bows? With a compound bow I can confidently pick off zombies without waking their friends. More unnerving is the occassional careless moment when you walk around a corner and find yourself stood nose to nose with a sleeping biker, with silent armour the stealth perk really is that good! A carefully aimed arrow right between the eyes at point blank range should do for Mr Snoozy Biker and is probably safer than trying to sneak away again...but be ready to run just in case! I know, better to not walk into him in the first place but where's the fun in that?
If you don't have sextex power attacks are not more stamina efficient then normal attacks. Mostly because power attacks reduce stamina regeneration for a while.
Not sure if I'm playing wrong, but when I used a crossbow I'd still wake surrounding zombies up making it pretty worthless to use/carry when I already had a good gun. Without the benefit of stealth bows/crossbows are still trash. But like I implied, I was probably doing something wrong.
As far as I know, once you step into a sleeper volume that doesn't immediately trigger a scripted attack, every sound you make is cumulative to waking zombies up if they are within range to hear it. If you had good stealth and, obviously, were crouching, then there's a chance as you walked into trash(this makes a LOT of noise), break pallets/furniture(some zombies are behind props that you need to break for line of sight, the false cupboards shouldn't generate too much noise), hitting Take All, opening loot containers, etc. These all can cumulatively contribute to waking up a zombie you haven't killed yet, and footsteps are also much noisier if you just hold W, tapping W to "tiptoe" across the room can actually allow you to sneak by much better. Rule of thumb: Kill before looting so you can Take All as you please Break all trash you are intending to walk over Tap W to get around if you are expecting to walk really close to a zombie If you need to break something to get LOS to a zombie's head, stand as far away from the thing you want to destroy as your tool's max range allows, then break it - slowly if necessary.
So I went digging about the dismember chance, apparently the highest you can get with melee is with a sledgehammer at 80% Dismember Chance on Power attack. I also tried with 100% Dismember Chance and it did not dismember all the time. I asked TFP about this and one of them said that Dismember chance are governed by damage (There is a certain threshold to be reached, if its not reached the dismember chance is reduced), Base Dismember Chance (Which is From Attributes, Skills, Perk Books, Etc) and Dismember Multiplier (Ferals and Radiated have 70% and 40% multiplier on top of the total dismember chance you have respectively). So is Dismember Worth it? If the Higher Difficulties doesn't scale that damage threshold, IE: If on Nomad you need 20% Damage Dealt to the head for the Damage Threshold, on Insane, that should be reduced to 10% Damage Threshold. If that isn't the case, its not worth Trying to dismember a Radiated Soldier (Due Armor and Radiated Multiplier). It certainly can happen, but it is down to RNG after all. P.S : I would like to know how much is the actual damage threshold, as TFP didn't say and the 20% was just an example Edit: Here's some of the highest Dismember Chances 1. 95% with Explosive 2. 80% with Shotgun (Checked the XMLs for the 10% Added Dismember from Skills, its not added) 3. 70% with Fist 4. 65% with Snipers
Not 100% sure but I can say from experience that on insane nightmare, head pops occur often enough for me to want to increase the chance further so even if it is affected by difficulty, it's still good.
This is actually one of the reasons I prefer the fist weapons. Fast attack speed, low stamina cost, decent dismember chance. By mid-game I'm almost exclusively using power attacks, and it's easy enough to dodge between the zombie's slow attacks as well. They also get knocked down a lot, which helps keep them from overpowering you. It won't work on every situation, but as far as melee weapons go, it's a way to clean house in a hurry.
Shotguns are broken, insane damage output, can hit multiples targets/limbs, slow targets and decapitate almost everytimes with max perks. Also you never run out of shotgun shells
i just started playing and were on like day 80 as a duo and its getting rough doing long trips with little storage to bring home. now i can add loads of storage with the drones :D can you have more than one drone?
@@IzPrebuilt dang it here I was thinking I can have two with my robotics skills lol. Thanks dude! I only found you like two days ago. I've been bingeing your Vids 😁
Something REALLY weird happened to me yesterday during a new game: I ve found a feral zombie casually wandering outside on day 3, at Diersville. Since when is that possible? xd
It would be karma if a hospital feral topped me on day 3. One of my favourite loot cheats is to run a ladder most of the way up the hospital wall and then use ramp shaped frames to reach the loot room via the broken wall. Because I'm not jumping or laddering the final approach is silent so the huge welcome committee on the roof usually keep on snoozing. I even successfully spent a horde night in a makeshift shelter on the wall below the hospital roof overhang when I was on an urgent anti-biotic search. The Zs went into damage mode but it's such a large tough building that they never got anywhere near. Unfortunately I didn't find any antibiotics in the majority of the hospital that I searched before I died so that was another stoopid 'iron man game over' to add to the list! (Hey at least I'm not trying to kill bears with stone spears any more, weirdly enough that doesn't work!)
@@doczoff5655 One day, the spider zombies will be able to climb buildings. Or I hope so, because right now they are pretty non-effective during horde night xb
@@IzPrebuilt Better to just tell it to stop somewhere nearby. That's 48 portable auxiliary ammo/medical slots, leaving you free to keep that many slots in your inventory open for immediate looting of dropped bags so they don't disappear.
I'm a dumbass for never having tried using multiples of the cargo mod for the drone, lul Regarding point #3...it'll be hard for me to ever not play an agility/stealth-based build due to just how good bows and crossbows are now. Hopefully they don't get nerfed back to uselessness, because it sure is nice not having to level an entire other attribute tree (Perception) for a stealth build...even if perception was always my second tree, but mostly for demo expert + salvage ops
They won't, and if they do it will hurt the game. Bows and crossbows provide an excellent range and stealth bonus, but they have only one shot and a long reload. Stealth doesn't even work on horde night so you're better off getting pistol perks, or switching to a better crowd control weapon. Bows and crossbows are at balance with the other weapons right now due to their even pros and cons, nerfing them would be detrimental to gameplay as they can very easily fall behind everything else in the game.
Drones can break your heart. Idk how it happened but my progress was set back once and my drone was mia holding more dukes than I should have put in it. BE CAREFUL what your let it hold. I could have bought the traders whole inventory.
@@greenbrickbox3392 they are fantastic for holding whatever you need tbh. I usually hold extra ammo, honey/antibiotics, heals and food, tools you don’t want to carry at the moment. Keep it in good health so it doesn’t break down and you realize it after traveling far away. I almost view it as just extra inventory space, kinda like vehicles with different functionalities.
Why do people always harp on about turrets hitting demolisher buttons? Set up a base with a floor of bars around the perimeter, and point turrets up at the zombies to shoot them from behind as they run toward you. You should NEVER hit a demolisher's button if you are using normal ammo.
Wait so you're telling me that chatchets(sorry English isn't my primary language :( ) weren't nerfed or some sort?? Zombies will not crowl throught them as in current alpha??
I don't know. Even explosive arrows aren't that great on horde night. There are people who won't use an M60 on horde night because it takes too long to reload. Explosive arrows are that much worse.
Explosive arrows used in a corridor horde base are excellent, with the zombies packed into a tight area they cause pure carnage if you have the archery damage multipliers.
@@IzPrebuilt *nods* you are correct. I didn't realize till about 15 hours later when I made some new drones for level 5. I thought it was like with the transport and there were't levels just what it is. My bad dude *tips my hat like a gentleman* I was in error.

I never put points into stealth, but I do crouch.
Were you crouching?

Why do people always harp on about turrets hitting demolisher buttons? Set up a base with a floor of bars around the perimeter, and point turrets up at the zombies to shoot them from behind as they run toward you. You should NEVER hit a demolisher's button if you are using normal ammo.
Is that 3rd person a mod or real deal? Haven't played nor followed the game news for the past 3 months now
It's a debug feature.
Wait the gillie suit actually has an effect now?
ye noise and visibility reduction, particularly outdoors.
Wait so you're telling me that chatchets(sorry English isn't my primary language :( ) weren't nerfed or some sort?? Zombies will not crowl throught them as in current alpha??
Um ok nobody gonna ask about DRIVING A MOTORCYCLE UP A VERTICAL WALL?!?!?
😂 I was scrolling through the comments expecting EVERYONE to be like “HOW TF IS HE DRIVING UP THE WALL?!” But nope…
I don't know. Even explosive arrows aren't that great on horde night. There are people who won't use an M60 on horde night because it takes too long to reload. Explosive arrows are that much worse.
Explosive arrows used in a corridor horde base are excellent, with the zombies packed into a tight area they cause pure carnage if you have the archery damage multipliers.
Buff Spears!
BUFF SCHPEAAAAAAAAAARS!!!!!!!!!
Yeah Spears could really do with a buff, I think stun batons are even more underwhelming.
I would use the tool steel axe over Both of these "weapons"
pls god... BUFF SPEARS!
Would spears be better if TFP added a 'swingball mod'? (as unsuccessfully demonstrated for zombie combat in Sean Of The Dead).
Does anyone still play vanilla why not try mods
😊👏
Either I'm a better player then I think I am, or avg player is way lower than I thought.
You do have like 1k hours lmao
I don't know what the average is, but I just hit 5000 hours.
Been playing for years.
@@patrickkenyon2326 Welcome to the 5k hour club. :D I just hit that myself.
@@DarkSunGameplay Back in the day, we would be called Grognards.
Ah cool, I also recently became a Grognard! I'm not completely sure what it means but I've probably been called far worse before now! :)
They nerfed the mods on the drone. You can only put one on now.
This is 100% not true. I just tested it myself in Alpha 20.6 vanilla.
@@IzPrebuilt *nods* you are correct. I didn't realize till about 15 hours later when I made some new drones for level 5. I thought it was like with the transport and there were't levels just what it is. My bad dude *tips my hat like a gentleman* I was in error.

First
waow
