this is Survivor default settings by the looks of it.. even Apocalypse is too easy once you learn the game.. the game doesn't get hard until you play with sprinters.. and with mods can be made even harder cuz guess what, sprinters alone is still not hard enough
Try to play around with hitting zombies on ground, for some angles your swing doesnt hit where your crossahair is, you cannot rely on the outline. You have to aim lower or higher based on where the Z is and where your crowbar will land. Hit with the weapon not with the aim reticle. 7:40 The crowbar missed the Zed it landed between its arm and shoulder. Amazing work, if only there was a way to play coop someday. :D
I think sometimes in zomboid you get into a comfort zone that can get violently interrupted by a nasty chomp. I think, for March Ridge a good approach might be taking a shotgun, probably a sawn-off js-2000 they can get in really big hordes throughout the town. In the end I ended up making a rooftop shooting gallery on the Giga Mart Roof just to play with scoped rifles a bit. Loving the series so far, shame about the two monther! Best of Luck!
Personally managed to get away from a really nasty horde after raiding a police station with NOTHING inside, found a really isolated comfort zone, and then helicopter event did it's thing
A swing and a miss at a zombie going over the fence, has happened to me many times, so many times that I'm very cautious when zeds are flopping over the fence. It's not worth it when there is more than one flopping over the fence. A good way to practice is to turn off multi-hit and give sprinters a try.
@@themudpit621 You may find yourself outnumbered in a fight at some point in your life. You won't be hitting multiple opponents with one swing. Hopefully, you've played football or have some boxing experience. Both sports teach how to keep functioning after being hit. Otherwise, it's game over.
You could try setting an alarm clock to go off to lure the zombies away from where you want to loot. Another option is to find a vehicle that runs but you don't care much about and to run over zombies by doing donuts (in reverse so you don't damage the hood and engine).
Honestly mate I think you're doing a grand job! Having watched since the start I can tell you've definitely been improving in leaps and bounds each episode, I'm glad you're not giving up either even when it gets frustrating (and i know it does). On of the great things about PZ is, not matter how long you've played or how good you are, the gsme always finds a way to remind you.. this is how you died! 😁
Thanks man! It's such a bite in the ass sometimes, but it's all about the journey. Once we hit phase 4, everything will feel great! Your absolutely right in the end the game always wins.
With fences you want to bait out the lunge by staying just out of range. That way they lunge but you’re still safe and can line up a easy shot while they pick themselves up
Tip: always keep a hammer on your belt for if you have to disassemble objects for nails to add escape ropes/barricade. If you build up short blunt a bit it can also double up as an additional weapon. 🙂
I died first trip into March Ridge, to raid the Video Store from the Rosewood FD. Used the book, geared up, and took a sacrificial car, a shotgun, and a seatload of shells. Did a bunch of window down drive bys to gather them, then eventually rolled up the window and did reverse donuts through them until they were all squished. Busted the car up, but I had my best rig already there, loaded with loot, for the drive home. Still need to go back and hunt my old self down, that me had a load of good stuff
F for the cutie that almost made it to 100 days but congratulation for surviving this long, small tip for the fence ---> Push or hit the zombie that is fencing they won't lunge at you after that due to being stunned. Good stuff keep it up mate
@@ImJPGz Its still very impressive to reach almost 100 days when you are learning ^^ You're doing well mate and we all commit some stupid mistakes >__>" Keep up the good work and don't be too rough on your learning process ^^
I highly suggest you don't adopt a strategy of "clear every house one by one" in March Ridge. They are just too stacked on top of each other. It's like a smaller, very dense Louisville, with not a ton of obvious loot. Here's a strategy: bring a propane torch and welding mask. As well as a few metal sheets. Get into a house from behind, like you did, then seal all the windows and the door. (Don't try this with carpentry barricading with wooden boards: it takes too long and makes too much noise.) Now start screaming your head off. You'll attract the horde of zombies in the streets to the house you're in, and they'll start beating everywhere. Metal sheets take a long time to break down, and you can use that time to go out the back of the house, and sneak around. Another good thing about March Ridge is just around the entrance, there's a lot of room that's just trees and empty fields. Get zombies following you, light a molotov, throw it, and then just walk around. It'll take time so have plenty of water and food. You can corral them easily without getting close to the buildings, and they'll all die, allowing you to get to the military apartments right from the front door. You can do this in the parking lot of the apartments too, very easily. My advice is don't try to live in march ridge. Just go to get some video tapes. It's much easier to build a base at the highway intersection crossroads that link Rosewood, Muldraugh, and March Ridge. No zombies spawn there, it's unlikely the ones on the Rosewood highway will wander over to bother you, and it's just much more convenient in general. There's a ton of cars to dismantle or run off the road, but that's a temporary problem.
I'm a sucker for a structure mate 😂😂 The metal seems a good idea, I final found a welding mask! I've had thoughts about the monitors, that seems like a strong route to go down! Thanks for all the tips mate! Appreciate it!
@@ImJPGz Yeah, that suggestion about the molotovs is the way to go. Just have lots and lots of patience... Also, the two residential areas of town are not really worth looting. If you draw the zombies to the outside edges of those, far away from the center of town then it doesn't really matter if those areas burn.
😂 yeah i remember that the learning curve for this game is deep. This time (my first video watched of yours) for you. You learned even with the hit outline you can still miss if your not in the right spot. Fix for that is better to be 100% sure you're in the right spot than MEH maybe. Also always be ready to move. Not sure if you did but if you ever pick clumsy? DON'T, never ever do it. That second one. You got too much into that thing I call "the new body rush". That's when you get in a rush to recover and get back into the flow. Nope slow it down.
Perfect way to describe things mate! But it's all a learning curve! I really thought this video would suck but I guess people love to see the detail! Thanks for dropping by man!
@@ImJPGz thanks. Best way to play the game I found out is by being as methodical as you would in reality. It looks like you about at the top of better than advantage. Also ever notice how sad it is to hear those zombies snacking on you while looking at the details of the runs. Man that's the devs just rubbing salt in the wounds.
@@MildarValsik that's hoe I played thr first like 90 days 😂. It shows its the right way of doing things. I struggle to find what to do on an evening when It gets dark! And yes it's a right kick in the ass 😂
@@ImJPGz lmao. Yep also one reason I'm always running cat eyes. I don't mess with the games lighting. Yet noticed my room light screws with my in game nights. Any room light messes with playing this game. It's one of the first games I've played I noticed that in a dark room is the best lighting to play under.
check your shoes more often... I think the reason you got bit on your foot was because you already had a hole in that shoe. (at least if you wear militairy shoes. they have 100 bite prot, so you can tank 1 hit but then it has a hole and 0 prot on that foot so then you are in risk of a bite.) My tip ALWAYS check your shoes every so often (like once a week or maybe 2 weeks.) and just replace them, militairy boots arent that rare and you should always have a couple spare ones... You did good! learn from your mistakes and keep trying. thats the beauty of zomboid, you learn from every death :) edit nevermind I rewatched the clip, I am sleeping... you didnt got bit on the foot haha but the arm... but still the shoes tip is great XD
This is the first episode of yours that ive watch and i really like it, makes me wanna start my own series but even 100h into this game it still just stresses me out so i find it more fun watching others play instead. Anyways have fun with the series and the game ofcourse ill keep watching.
Glad youre having fun- ive been playing 1.9k and i tell you it never changes. Its always one small slip, one lapse in concentration, one choice you knew was dumb and you shouldnt, but you did anyways. Keep up the good work! For fun sometime, try the CDDA or Winter Is Comming challenge
Keep in mind that even if you're targeting a zombie, there is a chance your character will miss. Sometimes, it's just better to reset your position. You're doing great and keep it up!
Tough times in March Ridge. I was just thinking "might be time to turn off multi-hit" because you were handling combat so well, and then, MUNCH! If you hate the fence lunge, you can turn that off in the sandbox settings. You can learn to avoid it, but it's a frustrating mechanic. As for new trait choices, only Sunday Driver stands out as a problem pick. For 1 point it is a very punishing choice. Slower driving, weak towing, getting bogged down off-road and by zeds around the car are all big problems. You could easily drop Lucky as well, unless you're on the hardest loot settings you'll not struggle to find gear. Dropping Eagle Eyed is no problem, you might want to try Keen Hearing though. Short Sighted and Thin Skinned aren't too bad to take if you want some spare points to play around with.
The progression from "fences get you free kills" to "fuck everything about fences" is a natural arc in the career of every PZ player. 😆Hitting crawlers is awkward in general and then the fence-lunge move on top of that is just not worth the risk that much. Especially when you have enough weapon skill that you're not really desperate for the "free" damage.
I've started keeping a text file of deaths coz I've played so long (years) I forget the old lesons. Now, I got a file with things like "Never run and hide in a room with one entry point" then later "I mean it, stop hiding in bathrooms!" lol.
“This all went downhill when my partner came into the office to say goodnight …” This is a common occurrence in my house. Cold wet dog nose on the back of my arm, wife touching my shoulder …
Yeah, mate. I've also had my oddball death scenarios. There are plenty of quirks in the game that can get you killed. xD One of my most recent deaths was when I was using a tall fence to jump when I needed to rest off the exertion after smacking a lot of zombies. Basically, it's a long kiting job with occasional smacks with a crowbar. Well, I was at the point where I was getting to the end of the fence to go behind it, for some stupid reason when I engaged the shift run it turned me slightly and it caused me to run in front (the opposite side of the fence that I was wanting to be on) straight into the zombies that I was slowly killing off... But, when you encounter these quirks and die to them. You learn, begin again, and make sure you don't make those same mistakes again. :)
Love your stuff. Maybe a little to short. Make them two or three days long in game, and around 20 to 30 minutes long. Just because I like your stuff. The only thing I've seen with the fences, is turning your back to them before they jump over. Well good luck in the future.
Thanks man, appreciate your comments! Do you mean like just run 2-3 days and then make a 20 minute video? I can give it a try if so, just don't know what I'll fill it with 😂
Get a horde, go to a 2x2 rowhouse toilet, hold alt + space + attack to do a masacure whit multihit. If you wounder why this combo, the zeds can prety mych only go to you if you got a door behind you. When they enter the window after you some will lunge the becus youre attacking them when they are down the zeds take a lot more damadge. For the best effect, die and make a new caracter whit fitnes 9, strength 10, axe man (lumberjack) and a woodaxe. Wood axe can hit 3 zombies, strength 10 prety much garante you killing them, fitness 9 for endurance +faster attack speed and axe man for faster attack speed. Try it and it gona work great
@@ImJPGz I agree with what @sebastianengstrom4998 said. Some advice on your new build. Graceful isn't really doing anything, and is just a waste of points. Lucky doesn't help as much as most people think. You would be better off getting Athletic instead, and getting your fitness up to 9, you WILL notice a difference. Cat`s eyes and Organized are both nice quality of life traits, but are not very impactful to the overall abilities of your character. I would save those for when you`re so good at the game you start getting bored... Very Underweight is a HUGE hit to your abilities, and takes way too long to fix. You would be better of with just Underweight and maybe Unlucky, and then just eat a stick of butter, chug a bottle of Bourbon before bed, eat a bag of dried beans, drink a bottle of cooking oil, something high calorie like that, on top of your normal food and it only takes a couple of days to get up to a normal weight and the negative trait goes away. Try to avoid any trait that negatively impacts Strength and Fitness. The one exception is Underweight, because it can be fixed so quickly. Probably one of the best builds in the game is Lumberjack with Strong, Athletic, Brawler, Gymnast, Brave, Outdoorsman, and Wakeful. I personally also get Dextrous and Fast Learner as well. The better negatives to choose from are Weak Stomach(cook your food), Unlucky, Underweight, Thin-skinned, Slow Reader, Slow Healer, Smoker, Short Sighted(just spawn with glasses), Prone to Illness, High Thirst(just carry two water bottles), and Conspicuous. Though I don't usually recommend it, if you have to take a panic trait take Claustrophobic. You can either drink yourself to sleep, OR take sleeping pills (not both!) to counter it early on, and later your character`s panic recovery speed will be high enough that it no longer effects you. Level your shooting with a shotgun WHEN YOU WANT TO PULL ALL THE ZOMBIES to a particular location. Like when you have a nice molotov for them... Use an Axe to kill large groups of zombies because it will be one-shotting them with this build, and use a Crowbar on individuals and small groups. The crowbar lasts dang near forever, and saves wear and tear on your axes. If you really want to make a shooter build while Veteran is an okay-ish choice, between the two shooter occupations you would be better off going Police Officer and taking Brave for the same point cost. You don't lose that much as far as panic goes, because again your character`s panic recovery speed will eventually cover the difference, and you get an additional level of Aiming and a free level of Nimble. The Nimble alone more than makes up for it. Always carry Vitamins for emergencies, and a couple of Molotovs. ************** There is an annotated map of March Ridge that make that apartment building a survivor house. The entire Building. This MORE than quadruples the amount of Guns, Axes, Machetes, Ammunition, etc.. that you get from it. Emphasis on more... Before you set foot in that building, get that map!******** This might make up for the living hell you will be walking into. All those zombies in a cramped interior... Make sure to bring sheet ropes and nails!
@@ImJPGz You are more than welcome good sir, and thank you for making good content! Just for being so awesome, the Herbalist book, in addition to letting you identify poisonous berries and mushrooms(which can be safely composted), lets you make poultices that pretty much counter the Slow Healer trait when combined with leveling your First Aid skill, combined with decent wound care. i.e. Disinfecting a wound, Stitching a deep wound, using sterile bandages or rags, splints etc... Plus Pharmaceuticals like Antibiotics, etc. THEN You use the poultices to kill infections and speed healing on top of it. It`s an extra modifier for recovering from wounds. For long term survival, the best ways to get food is Fishing, Then Trapping, Then Foraging, Then Farming, Then Stockpiling Canned Food for the winter. In your area, there is a small lake over by the bus station for fishing.
Listen to the radio forecast and plan ahead. There's a radio channel called "Automated Emergency Broadcast System". You can carry a small radio with you (or keep it at base), or use the one in the car. The channel frequency changes every time you start a new game.
@@zdspider6778 1000 hours in and I'm now just learning this. I assumed all automated systems would fail after the power grid collapses. This will help a lot thanks.
@@ImJPGz thank you even tho I really don't need the mod because I don't die until like day 150 or later but at that point it gets dull but anyways thanks i have to worry less about dying. and when does the next video drop?
7:43 See the circle on the ground? That's where your shot lands. The game is too forgiving when you're standing upright and too finicky when you're trying to bash them.
THAT'S the thing with these zombies. Allll they need for YOU to do is...MESS up juuussttt ONCE. Too confident, mis time a swing, get caught in tight quarters annnddd they got ya. I got like 700 hrs and just a couple of days ago, a two month run, one, ONE of them in a corner of a tight room annnddd chomp. Dang it.
Haha I love hearing other people's story's. It's a great game and I love the fact that the game can just say no no, today's the day 😂. Thanks for the comment!
Yeah the lunge mechanics can be quite bullshit at times. That one that knocked you FORWARD blew my mind. I've never seen that one. I HAVE seen the one where it knocks you back but spins you around, staggering your TOWARDS the attacker with your back turned and then knocks you down, leaving you on your back right next to your attacker headfirst. It's absolute nonsense.
March ridge is too risky for the little loot there is, it is a place with only residential houses and some shops, in the veteran hotel you can get weapons tho I'd almost rather go to Louisville
I wouldn't call swinging a bat and having it pass through multiple zombies "realistic"... Realistically, the animation should stop after hitting the first one.
@@ImJPGz Im not sure but i think theres a map and if you read it there will be even more guns and ammo in the military appartments. Or atleast thats what i thought
There is an annotated map for that big dorm/apartment building. If you find it, the building will have more guns, ammo, and food in it than normal. When I play in Rosewood, I usually do a stealth run into March Ridge(unless I have that annotated map I mentioned). I drive down the highway and park about two-thirds of the way there. I go through the woods, which usually doesn’t have a lot of zombies, and jump both fences. The second fence is the schoolyard. The school is across from the community center, which is the goal. That place has the biggest library outside of Louisville. Two floors worth of books! I always find at least one generator book there. I move fast and quiet looting the ground floor first, then go upstairs. I sneak out the back way through a storage room and down the back stairs in case Zeds are pathing to me from behind.
March Ridge is a easy map. I play game over night about 8h and I very asleep. But I wasn't bitten by horde. This way is craft a campfire, fighter or matches. Build campfire and call in zombies. Light camp and burn them. Very cheap, very easy
Let me know how awful I performed in this episode 😂
Get a huge horde, go to a rowhouse whit a 2x2 toilet, hold alt + space + attack. The result whit multi hit. A masacure. Try it.

As for new trait choices, only Sunday Driver stands out as a problem pick. For 1 point it is a very punishing choice. Slower driving, weak towing, getting bogged down off-road and by zeds around the car are all big problems. You could easily drop Lucky as well, unless you're on the hardest loot settings you'll not struggle to find gear. Dropping Eagle Eyed is no problem, you might want to try Keen Hearing though. Short Sighted and Thin Skinned aren't too bad to take if you want some spare points to play around with.
I know right! Everything goes so well until that one laps in concentration and bam! Thanks for the support and advice as always!
I have done it whitout multhit and works there to do it will only work better whit multihit
The progression from "fences get you free kills" to "fuck everything about fences" is a natural arc in the career of every PZ player. 😆Hitting crawlers is awkward in general and then the fence-lunge move on top of that is just not worth the risk that much. Especially when you have enough weapon skill that you're not really desperate for the "free" damage.
Its amazing seeing people mention how i feel haha!
Loving the editing style of this series, sad to see the death(s) so far in. I imagine the final game plan will be big though!
Thanks man! I hope you enjoy it!
Dying is part of Zomboid. You've learned a lot though and fast
Thanks man! Roll the sleeves up and go again!
I've started keeping a text file of deaths coz I've played so long (years) I forget the old lesons. Now, I got a file with things like "Never run and hide in a room with one entry point" then later "I mean it, stop hiding in bathrooms!" lol.
“This all went downhill when my partner came into the office to say goodnight …”
This is a common occurrence in my house. Cold wet dog nose on the back of my arm, wife touching my shoulder …
I was just in March ridge, the residents really want you to leave.
Good series!
Thank you!
Yeah, mate. I've also had my oddball death scenarios. There are plenty of quirks in the game that can get you killed. xD
One of my most recent deaths was when I was using a tall fence to jump when I needed to rest off the exertion after smacking a lot of zombies. Basically, it's a long kiting job with occasional smacks with a crowbar. Well, I was at the point where I was getting to the end of the fence to go behind it, for some stupid reason when I engaged the shift run it turned me slightly and it caused me to run in front (the opposite side of the fence that I was wanting to be on) straight into the zombies that I was slowly killing off...
But, when you encounter these quirks and die to them. You learn, begin again, and make sure you don't make those same mistakes again. :)
Haha its the little things I love about this game, everyone has their own story 😂. We go again and continue on! Thanks for watching!
What the ... are you doing in March Ridge? I go there only for rare vehicles because the place is kinda rich neighborhood.
It's all for the fun my friend! Although I'm not having g a lot of fun 😂
Love your stuff. Maybe a little to short. Make them two or three days long in game, and around 20 to 30 minutes long. Just because I like your stuff. The only thing I've seen with the fences, is turning your back to them before they jump over. Well good luck in the future.
Thanks man, appreciate your comments! Do you mean like just run 2-3 days and then make a 20 minute video?
I can give it a try if so, just don't know what I'll fill it with 😂
Get a horde, go to a 2x2 rowhouse toilet, hold alt + space + attack to do a masacure whit multihit.
If you wounder why this combo, the zeds can prety mych only go to you if you got a door behind you. When they enter the window after you some will lunge the becus youre attacking them when they are down the zeds take a lot more damadge. For the best effect, die and make a new caracter whit fitnes 9, strength 10, axe man (lumberjack) and a woodaxe. Wood axe can hit 3 zombies, strength 10 prety much garante you killing them, fitness 9 for endurance +faster attack speed and axe man for faster attack speed. Try it and it gona work great
I'm intrigued 😂
If you are wored of lundging zeds that mat make you trip, they will almost never have a chance to lunge cus they are already ded
@@ImJPGz I agree with what @sebastianengstrom4998 said.
Some advice on your new build. Graceful isn't really doing anything, and is just a waste of points. Lucky doesn't help as much as most people think. You would be better off getting Athletic instead, and getting your fitness up to 9, you WILL notice a difference. Cat`s eyes and Organized are both nice quality of life traits, but are not very impactful to the overall abilities of your character. I would save those for when you`re so good at the game you start getting bored...
Very Underweight is a HUGE hit to your abilities, and takes way too long to fix. You would be better of with just Underweight and maybe Unlucky, and then just eat a stick of butter, chug a bottle of Bourbon before bed, eat a bag of dried beans, drink a bottle of cooking oil, something high calorie like that, on top of your normal food and it only takes a couple of days to get up to a normal weight and the negative trait goes away. Try to avoid any trait that negatively impacts Strength and Fitness. The one exception is Underweight, because it can be fixed so quickly.
Probably one of the best builds in the game is Lumberjack with Strong, Athletic, Brawler, Gymnast, Brave, Outdoorsman, and Wakeful. I personally also get Dextrous and Fast Learner as well. The better negatives to choose from are Weak Stomach(cook your food), Unlucky, Underweight, Thin-skinned, Slow Reader, Slow Healer, Smoker, Short Sighted(just spawn with glasses), Prone to Illness, High Thirst(just carry two water bottles), and Conspicuous. Though I don't usually recommend it, if you have to take a panic trait take Claustrophobic. You can either drink yourself to sleep, OR take sleeping pills (not both!) to counter it early on, and later your character`s panic recovery speed will be high enough that it no longer effects you. Level your shooting with a shotgun WHEN YOU WANT TO PULL ALL THE ZOMBIES to a particular location. Like when you have a nice molotov for them... Use an Axe to kill large groups of zombies because it will be one-shotting them with this build, and use a Crowbar on individuals and small groups. The crowbar lasts dang near forever, and saves wear and tear on your axes.
If you really want to make a shooter build while Veteran is an okay-ish choice, between the two shooter occupations you would be better off going Police Officer and taking Brave for the same point cost. You don't lose that much as far as panic goes, because again your character`s panic recovery speed will eventually cover the difference, and you get an additional level of Aiming and a free level of Nimble. The Nimble alone more than makes up for it.
Always carry Vitamins for emergencies, and a couple of Molotovs.
**************
There is an annotated map of March Ridge that make that apartment building a survivor house. The entire Building. This MORE than quadruples the amount of Guns, Axes, Machetes, Ammunition, etc.. that you get from it. Emphasis on more... Before you set foot in that building, get that map!******** This might make up for the living hell you will be walking into. All those zombies in a cramped interior... Make sure to bring sheet ropes and nails!
@@anonymouse2675 man that's some information!
Some top tier stuff in there, I'll take it on board!
Thanks for watching the episode!
@@ImJPGz You are more than welcome good sir, and thank you for making good content!
Just for being so awesome, the Herbalist book, in addition to letting you identify poisonous berries and mushrooms(which can be safely composted), lets you make poultices that pretty much counter the Slow Healer trait when combined with leveling your First Aid skill, combined with decent wound care. i.e. Disinfecting a wound, Stitching a deep wound, using sterile bandages or rags, splints etc... Plus Pharmaceuticals like Antibiotics, etc. THEN You use the poultices to kill infections and speed healing on top of it. It`s an extra modifier for recovering from wounds.
For long term survival, the best ways to get food is Fishing, Then Trapping, Then Foraging, Then Farming, Then Stockpiling Canned Food for the winter. In your area, there is a small lake over by the bus station for fishing.
wait till this guy get a hit of Louisville
I look forward to it!!
Every time I decide to go on an expedition its always rains for 3 days straight.
Listen to the radio forecast and plan ahead. There's a radio channel called "Automated Emergency Broadcast System". You can carry a small radio with you (or keep it at base), or use the one in the car. The channel frequency changes every time you start a new game.
@@zdspider6778does I stay active long after the apocalypse?
@@danielhutchison7259 Yes. Hence the "automated" part.
@@zdspider6778 1000 hours in and I'm now just learning this. I assumed all automated systems would fail after the power grid collapses. This will help a lot thanks.
You need a m249 with about 1000 rounds and 5 box mags… to even think about clearing the military apartments and you still might not make it
Challenge accepted 😂
how did you transcribe the journal what did you do there? is it a mod or smt?
Hey Leon, yes it's a mod on the steam workshop. I think it's call skill recovery journal.
Really useful if your getting use to the game.
@@ImJPGz thank you even tho I really don't need the mod because I don't die until like day 150 or later but at that point it gets dull but anyways thanks i have to worry less about dying. and when does the next video drop?
@@leonol4879 ahhh no problem mate! Your an experienced vet! And just on with recording so may be a week or so!

I’ve used a mod to spawn in March Ridge, always die quick there…
It's always great fun 😂
7:43 See the circle on the ground? That's where your shot lands. The game is too forgiving when you're standing upright and too finicky when you're trying to bash them.
nice video, subscribed. we all make mistakes! it’s ok to die, the game even reminds you that you will die (this is how you died)
Thanks you! Yes it really does. One of thr things I love about it.
Is that normal or low population? Just surprised how significant the difference is with my high population playthrough.
Normal brother
THAT'S the thing with these zombies. Allll they need for YOU to do is...MESS up juuussttt ONCE. Too confident, mis time a swing, get caught in tight quarters annnddd they got ya. I got like 700 hrs and just a couple of days ago, a two month run, one, ONE of them in a corner of a tight room annnddd chomp. Dang it.
Haha I love hearing other people's story's. It's a great game and I love the fact that the game can just say no no, today's the day 😂.
Thanks for the comment!
Doesn’t help that I did the random spawn thing and I spawned in Westpoint😂😂😂😂
I dread the insane setting haha! but it looks like its on the horizon!
try this game on insane population, that is more fun
I'll be sure to try this out 😂
do you play rimworld?
No I don't mate, never tried it, any good?

and have fun with it. i do@@ImJPGz
Don't get too comfortable in project zomboid no matter how good you character is or how many years you spent in the game all it takes is one bite
Absolutely true 😂
cats eyes with wakeful xo.
I hate the dark!
Yeah the lunge mechanics can be quite bullshit at times. That one that knocked you FORWARD blew my mind. I've never seen that one. I HAVE seen the one where it knocks you back but spins you around, staggering your TOWARDS the attacker with your back turned and then knocks you down, leaving you on your back right next to your attacker headfirst. It's absolute nonsense.
March ridge is too risky for the little loot there is, it is a place with only residential houses and some shops, in the veteran hotel you can get weapons tho
I'd almost rather go to Louisville
It does feel it now I've been there, it bakes rosewood look like a ghost town!
@@ImJPGzbakes rosewood
You should maybe turn multi-hit back off for your next series, that will add a bit more realism and challenge
I think i will try this in the next series!
I wouldn't call swinging a bat and having it pass through multiple zombies "realistic"... Realistically, the animation should stop after hitting the first one.
dont you need to find a annotated map to get most weapons possible?
To be honest I have no idea on that. Not really got any experience with the maps.
Are they unique to each playthrough?
@@ImJPGz Im not sure but i think theres a map and if you read it there will be even more guns and ammo in the military appartments. Or atleast thats what i thought
@@ImJPGz I am pretty sure you need to find on every new playtrough
@@a-train8665 didn't know that! Thank you for the info!
There is an annotated map for that big dorm/apartment building. If you find it, the building will have more guns, ammo, and food in it than normal.
When I play in Rosewood, I usually do a stealth run into March Ridge(unless I have that annotated map I mentioned). I drive down the highway and park about two-thirds of the way there. I go through the woods, which usually doesn’t have a lot of zombies, and jump both fences. The second fence is the schoolyard. The school is across from the community center, which is the goal. That place has the biggest library outside of Louisville. Two floors worth of books! I always find at least one generator book there. I move fast and quiet looting the ground floor first, then go upstairs. I sneak out the back way through a storage room and down the back stairs in case Zeds are pathing to me from behind.
NEW EPISODE
We’re basically at 100k man
Hey so I’m not 100% about this but I’m pretty sure there isn’t ever a 100% chance of being infected but I might be wrong
Don't say stuff like that 😂😂 big push for 1mill now!
Bites are 100% Knox infected. Lacerations from zeds has a 25% chance to turn you and scratches from zeds has a 7% chance.
@@SweenyMarcalright thanks man
bro has multihit
Brother does!

March Ridge is a easy map. I play game over night about 8h and I very asleep. But I wasn't bitten by horde. This way is craft a campfire, fighter or matches. Build campfire and call in zombies. Light camp and burn them. Very cheap, very easy
There seems to be a lot of different ways to work! I'm glad you find it easy! I really don't!
constructive criticism: far too much exposition about what you are doing with your film editing or whatever. your series.
Love constructive criticism! As in to much detail?
YIPEEE NEW VIDEO! WE LOVE YA :D Also your discord link has a problem! I cant enter it :(
I'll reset it again mate!
@@ImJPGz Thank you!
Oooph March Ridge is bad, so many zombies in such a built up area is death.
Haha! Yes it is pure chaos.
