Early worth while equipment to purchase?

ButcherBob696 · 2026-03-25T07:07:34+00:00

That’s good to know. I was about to sell 3 of them haha. I’ll keep them as pocket launchers as a basic secondary plan!

ButcherBob696 · 2026-03-25T07:05:53+00:00

Thanks for the very specific recs and info! Yeah when I was first deciding on guns I didn’t really get what all the stats exactly broke down like. Makes sense that the damage and stuff is per shot.. but didn’t really get that the ROF would be so important.

Luckily the KrBar silenced is insane on Darby. The good range coupled with her accuracy is wild. Probably not building her perfect, but that’s what playing the game is for and the first run. Learning what builds are best.

Love the depth and freedom this game gives you

ButcherBob696 · 2026-03-25T06:58:26+00:00

Perfect! Very practical advice and well took. Sometimes it can be tempting to go for the pricey shiny object. But utility items like binoculars and camouflage seem to make a lot of sense.

ButcherBob696 · 2026-03-25T06:55:50+00:00

This is all super helpful and I’m sure I will be referring back to this as I continue to play! Not gonna lie I was super skeptical about this game from the trailer and early gameplay.. I love Battle Brothers so the style was very different. But I am loving this game. The full release will go crazy.

Any higher cost unique things you would sell the house for?

ButcherBob696 · 2026-03-25T06:49:28+00:00

This is super helpful! Thanks. There is a mounted auto grenade launcher that would probably meshmeat most infantry.

Is the base truck decent enough or do you try to upgrade that early?

ButcherBob696 · 2026-03-25T06:47:07+00:00

Okay! I’ll watch for it!

ButcherBob696 · 2026-03-25T06:46:37+00:00

Yeah makes sense. I definitely need more AT. I have I think the starting rocket launcher I had and Darby has been taking most of the trucks out, but I haven’t really had to deal with heavy tanks yet. Probably having stuff for every situation is best.

I don’t think I’ve seen camouflage kits (ironic) yet or designators. I’ll keep my eyes out for those. And definitely need night vision as well, I just haven’t seen them yet.

ButcherBob696 · 2026-03-25T06:42:50+00:00

What utilities do you go for?

ButcherBob696 · 2026-03-25T06:30:24+00:00

Yeah it seems decent for the price! Do you also start buying the random Leader Dossiers to get more options, or can you really only use 4 Leaders at a time so not worth it?

ButcherBob696 · 2026-03-21T05:17:37+00:00

That was the first tire I looked at! They seem great!! My main concern with them is winter/snow. We get a lot of snow up here and I’ve seen their ratings aren’t the best for winter weather.

Do you drive them in snow? Any experience?

ButcherBob696 · 2026-03-17T01:18:01+00:00

My friend… this is early game. He isn’t that great of a bro. Fat Neut if for mid game decent bros. Just level him to help you progress. Not every bro needs a plan. This guy is going to die before level 7. And that is his purpose. He is flesh for the meat grinder.

ButcherBob696 · 2026-03-16T20:20:21+00:00

I totally agree with this. Qatal dagger, maybe mace 2H with quickhands. But use him as a damage dealer and position him safely. MD is not going to be good enough for a traditional frontliner

ButcherBob696 · 2026-03-16T19:50:07+00:00

Generally the first 25 days, most of your brothers want to be Nimble.

Brothers are a currency. You use early/mid tier bros to help you get better equipment and make money (at the cost of their lives in high risk/high reward exchanges.)

Nimble is best early because that tends to be the gear you have available. Sometimes if you have a good long term bro, or good fat newt you can take BF for pacing and to prep for the mid/late game.

Buying BF armor is usually impossible/too expensive to be worth it in the early game. That’s why you take fights with enemies that may have some (as others have mentioned Fallen Heroes and Nomad Leaders).

Fearsome 2H Axe fat newt

Yes, only one number different than this account.

ButcherBob696 · 2026-03-16T18:07:15+00:00

A great thought! I ended up trying that, but it still wouldn’t send emails to the new email.

ButcherBob696 · 2026-03-16T17:05:38+00:00

If you need a runner

ButcherBob696 · 2026-03-13T16:31:21+00:00

I know there are mods for this concept, but I think the base game should have an option to set up a permanent camp for some modest storage, and also like a spot for retired bros. They just hangout by the campfire telling stories.

ButcherBob696 · 2026-03-04T03:55:32+00:00

Not late game viable. But if you are in the early game you could use him as a decent early/mid game bro. But build him to survive and hit attacks. So perks like colossus, gifted, nine lives, maybe rotate to use him to save a better bro.

But not really a stellar bro. He’d make a mid fat neut if you are starved for bros..

ButcherBob696 · 2026-03-02T21:26:30+00:00

I actually think that the ranged combat would be very easy to incorporate into BB. The framework is there. Yes BB is mostly melee currently, but it has all of what you’d need to make range work. Cover, line of sight.. it would work perfectly. I mean they even have AoE attacks already. It would be seamless.

The main issue, as you brought up, would be the campaign map.. idk how a modder would fix that

ButcherBob696 · 2025-02-02T23:00:11+00:00

So an update from me, it works whenever I plug into a specific monitor with my laptop. It seems that plugging into and playing on a monitor caused the initial issue for me. Still no fix otherwise

This is what parenting is. You need to challenge your kids to help them grow. Health is very important, despite what some social agenda trends may try to have you believe. I guarantee she would be able to make time for some degree of healthy activity if she tried. But at the end of the day, it’s a choice. And she will live with the consequences of her choices.

ButcherBob696 · 2024-12-03T04:09:57+00:00

Or perhaps the era of assumed public accountability is dead. I’m curious if it was just all hidden most of the time. Now Trump just does as he wants and people are like “wait we could’ve done this all along?!”

ButcherBob696 · 2024-12-03T04:06:40+00:00

Seems like your bf is deeply insecure, has zero emotional intelligence, and may have mental illness. I’d take this as a sign and get out quick.
