I would say an important tip for a beginner is to know you’re going to need a lot of duct tape when crafting up your gear and weapons. Water + bones = glue, Glue + cloth = duct tape. So horde all the water, bones, glue, cloth and duct tape you can find until your gear is leveled up. Cloth tends to be the overlook ingredient, it can found in curtains, clothing, furniture. Toward end game brass becomes bottleneck for ammo crafting especially AP ammo. I would recommend holding on as much brass as you can in preparation for end game. Wood doors, scrapping radiators (found in cars, air conditioners and heating radiators), sinks (the wash basins are more), piles of trash. Often smelting the dukes directly into brass becomes a valid tactic when you’re flushed with dukes, 1 duke = 1 brass, 5 brass = 1 shell casing. So it’s never worth buying brass and unless you are able to buy 1 bullet case for 5 dukes or less it’s not worth buying them either. Just throw your money into the fire.😂
Building a Raid Base at one of the 4 sides of a trader will protect you from one side for free as long as there arent any doors present on said side. You will probably get into the game and watch more videos about Zombie pathfinding and AI, but until than this will give you only 3 sides to worry about for the time that your raid base is literally just a chunk of wood.
Side tip for skill books, focus on one skill set at a time and when you've maxed all you want reset your point with the elixer and spec into another one. This is so you don't keep getting mags for skills you have maxed out (the book skills)
Amazing tip man! Genuinely had not thought about using the Forgotten Elixir's to reset & move into another tree so you can get that tree's magazines. :)
Selling books you read earns you money and XP. My first points go to the lucky looter for the faster looting speed, which slowly but surely saves you a lot of time searching
I’ve never really invested into Lucky Looter but I might try it out! Being able to loot even just a little quicker must be nice especially if you are looting in places like Crack-a-Book hahaha
I knew i shouldnt have passed up this video so many times. I would have had my dew collector 5 "in game" days ago lol. Lots of great useful tips! Thanks and very much appreciated 👌
Dude I just spent the better part of a week building this sweat set up and I had worked really hard for everything I had in that house, and I was only getting started and not one person had joined my world until tonight… this guy joined my world glitched inside my base and destroyed all my stuff and laughed in my face about it I’m so mad I don’t think I can play it anymore
in my opinion the best way to spend your first 5 set of points is to invest 3 levels into the perk path you want to focus on, and then 2 into the weapon in that perk path. For example if you want to focus on clubs (the easiest for new players) you will first get 3 points into Strength and then 2 into Pummel Pete
@@ItsCatmanjoe yeah parkour maxed out is stupidly op, you can literally jump over zombies, lowkey a video talking about it might be good, something about if it needs a nerf
@Bluerim_ regardless of the weapon tree I'm going down my first 3 points going into 1 strength and 2 miner 69 because just that small investment gives you such a huge advantage in you block damage and stamina usage in the early game where you struggle with it the most
6:22 if you want specific books you need to invest into a specific book. To get more vehicle magazines and get a motorbike early on invest into grease monkey, as it increases the chance of finding vehicle adventures in the loot pool
Loved this game on ps4 saw it for the 5 and noticed it was redone like the version I saw off steam so I copped it really love the beta right now but you know what I’ve always felt was needed but never really touched on was the use of npc bandits so you aren’t just killing the same zombies over and over you can battle it out with people who want to raid your base with guns or something making them a lethal threat which to me would be a great addition to the quests from the traders too seeing as there’s bounty posters it would be cool to do bounty quests
Yeah, we definitely need enemies that aren't just animals & zombies but the good news is The Fun Pimps have confirmed they are bringing bandits in the "Long Road Ahead" update. I've got a video covering bandits & the future updates in more depth that I'll link here if you are interested: ruclips.net/video/04bWG_Zn2s8/видео.html
Yeah I used to think that also but I was corrected on it, like ChairMD mentioned Wasteland Volume makes it so normal trees have a chance to give you honey. :)
can you do a structural integrity guide if it's been updated from the last gen. version. I keep having problems with my bases collapsing at random times, I can build nearly the same building with the same material in the same location and it will collapse anytime after 17 days without any additions, I make all of my walls and floors two layers thick like you used to have to on the PS4/xbox1 versions, did they change it now?
I'm not sure if they've changed things but I can definitely look into it & add your recommendation to my videos Idea list, so stay tuned & I'll hopefully have some more information to share. :)
At the harvesting quicker, the video is misleading to the info. What he means is looking away from the animal, right-clicking, and looking at the animal. You get a stabbing animation, which harvests like normal. While also being much much faster than just harvesting normally.
Appreciate the correction, a friend of mine who showed me the trick actually corrected me after the video came out about how I messed up the explanation haha. Thanks for correction & sorry about that!
Sorry I thought that would have been common knowledge, all you have to do is select the block then press the rotate button (which is R on PC, Square on PlayStation & X I believe on Xbox) if you still can’t get the correct position then you might need to select “Advanced Rotation” it’s accessible in the same way you access or find other shapes. :) Also another note I failed to mention, you’ll need to upgrade the block to wood as it won’t allow you to drink water unless you do!
@@ItsCatmanjoe yea if you rotate it’s still sideways even in advanced rotation. I just took regular square blocks and made a mini pool. In the previous legacy version the water disappeared if you drank it. This one it does not. Thanks for the tip but you can’t set it upright on console.
@@Hawkroyal You definitely can set it upright on Console, I did it myself on PS5 yesterday haha. Just enable advanced rotation & keep rotating & you’ll get it! :)
TIP 28- IF YOU NEVER PUT A BEDROLL YOU WILL RESPAWN WHERE YOU DIED (IF DEAD IN A BUILDING SOMETIMES YOU RESPAWN ON THE FLOOR ABOVE) TURN OFF ALL DEATH PENALTIES
@@ItsCatmanjoe State of decay 2 is a masterpiece. Only thing that's missing is free base building - it's more of a upgrade things in a prebuilt location.But after about 12 hours in 7dtd I can honestly say SOD 2 is superior. Give It a go!

@@rickywood8805 thanks that’s a great suggestion.
@@frankvenero7137 hey as they say, work smart not hard 😉
U can also use the building block to copy blocks from around the world
That's another great tip!
I actually personally use this when rebuilding certain POI's on my personal world haha.

Oooooooooh ok i see my mistake i have the ps4 ver of the game not the ps5 ver sorry lad and thx for responding to me

Worst part of this video is u show how to get infinite water but did not show how to place it upright !!

Great tip!
Kind of moved on I fine state of decay to be honestly more fun I’m just being honest.
The games are nothing alike. State of decay is just a lot easier. It a button mashing zombie game like days gone.
That's fine man!
I've personally never played State of Decay so I can't comment on how enjoyable it is but I'm still really loving 7 Days To Die haha.
Don’t get me wrong it is fun I just have a lot to learn about the game
@@ItsCatmanjoe State of decay 2 is a masterpiece. Only thing that's missing is free base building - it's more of a upgrade things in a prebuilt location.But after about 12 hours in 7dtd I can honestly say SOD 2 is superior. Give It a go!
@@slewthervandross773 Only 12 hours? You’ve barely done anything.
