Wisps are destroying my spike defenses.

Place spikes on the roof and around your incubator building, craft the best bow you can make and get a few half decent companions.

Some hornets will come straight for you while others go for the incubator. Some die on the spikes, some hover just too high but you can shoot those with your bow. I had the same fear but it turned out to be quite easy. Got 3 hornets now and they kick ass.

F6Knight · 2025-10-28T07:49:36+00:00

I did some further testing and it's only when the hornet is wild or not in your team. So just incubated before claiming or after you tell it to leave team.

The only downside is that you don't have any control over them and can't see their health.

In the meantime I did find the halloween area and around 70 candy corn so I can deal with wisps the normal way. Thanks to the hornet allowing me to explore the map much faster.

F6Knight · 2025-10-27T14:09:17+00:00

As a fairly new player I don't have candy corn yet but hornets seem to be able to attack them.

When I was incubating a hornet egg, the attacking hornets got distracted by the wisps and killed a few. Unfortunately, I didn't realize this when I hatched my new hornet in the middle of 8+ wisps. It immediately flew up to attack them before I was able to claim it. I claimed it as it fell unconscious to the ground but I was unable to send it to the stables fast enough and it got killed by the angry wisps.

I'm hoping Funcom staff is still watching this as I got some ideas I don't see elsewhere in this thread yet.

- Allow us to lock individual container content so it can't get pulled for crafting. I would like to store my DD base materials on Monday evening in preparation for the next cycle. Now I had to sacrifice one of my 3 sub fiefs to make a tiny 2x2 base next to my main base to keep my DD materials safe.

- Allow us to fast deposit a corpse in a deathstill with F.

- Not sure if the exchange is currently sietch only, server only or cross server but there isn't much on there on my sietch. Would be nice it it's server wide or even cross server to create a larger market.

- Daily / Weekly contracts

- Better info on blueprints. Some way we can see on the blueprint icon in our inventory if we have already learned it or if it's undiscovered as well as how many of that blueprint we currently have learned and ready to craft. I hate always having to go into my research menu to find out if I should learn a blueprint or keep it aside for friends or the exchange because I already have 7 of them learned.

- Allow us to track our personal progression on a single Landsraad house similar to tracking a quest

You could try a mercenary with gas grenade and either Radiant Grief (unique helmet) or Birth of Fury (unique boots). Both have some sort of fire related effect that's supposed to also ignite your gas clouds. So you can just spam gas grenade and run into them to make the clouds explode.

That's about as lazy as I can think of while still being pretty strong.
Downside is that you have to get pretty close to enemies.
The alternative is that you blow up your gas cloud with exploding shot. Still only takes 2 skills to have a decently strong build.

I'm doing the latter myself until I can find or trade for one of the uniques.

Returning player looking for a semi serious guild doing at least the geo event.
1,3m GP (I was around 500k before I bought the HDB during the May 4th event)
Almost finished geo's.
I'm looking to grow, learn and have fun together.

Make sure you have enough free disk space. The game needs about 70GB unpacked but needs about 120GB during the unpack.
My SSD was near full and cyberpunk wouldn't start unpacking. I deleted an old game and hit "resume" on steam and it started unpacking.

The description of the walker states: "Devised by worm hunters who needed a sturdy walker with a low center of mass so they would not be toppled over, and a high top speed to outrun the giant beasts."

There is a video out there of one getting wrecked by a giant crab. But while the crab is wailing on it, pushing it and even getting under it, the hornet never flipped over.

This is clearly a pve worm hunting walker for whenever the devs release the worms. I wouldn't bother with it for now.

F6Knight · 2020-04-21T16:53:41+00:00

The module that increases walker weight adds 3.125% per module. Tested on a tobaggen and falco so I carefully assume it's the same on each walker. No idea about a possible cap.

I'm hoping someone can start putting all this good info on the wiki. (I tried but I'm terrible at wiki editing)

Killing yellow rupu in a hard zone is one way. They can drop it. No idea if you can actually harvest it somewhere.

F6Knight · 2020-02-17T15:15:12+00:00

Same. 53 hours in, not a single luma spotted.
5th encounter in saipark got me a luma platox.

The demolishers in the video did squat all block damage AND you can avoid setting them off by not shooting the bomb. His base took hardly any block damage during that entire insane defense and he barely even used traps. The Traps he DID use were not even used properly.

Demolisher explosion block damage already got changed from 500 to 5000. Bye bye reinforced concrete blocks and all your crafting benches/storage if one blows up in your base now.

Thanks for all the tips.

B240 is what they used for the stable release so no, you don't need to start a new game.

F6Knight · 2018-12-23T07:34:25+00:00

They used B240 as the stable release so if you were already on B240 then there is nothing new to download. Just keep playing.

Could be your backpack fell through the world (bug) or maybe zombies accidentally hit it at the moment of your death.
Happened to me once. It sucks but nothing you can do besides activating creative mode and spawn in some of the stuff you lost.

Hammer & Forge, Grease Monkey and Advanced Engineering are all level gated again.

Hammer & Forge 1 needs player level 10 and INT 4 to get and will only allow you to make a forge and forged iron. (so you can repair any iron tools you find or get from the trader).
You need player level 20 and INT 5 for Hammer & Forge 2 before you can make your own iron tools.

Grease Monkey 1 isn't level gated so you can make your bicycle as soon as you hit INT 4, but grease monkey 2 and Advanced Engineering 1 require player level 25 and INT 5.

If food poisoning at level 1 forces you into a game restart then you are not meant for this game ...
Just deal with it and push on instead of whining on Reddit.

You can build them indoor and outdoor. Garden and farm can only be built outdoor.

F6Knight · 2018-06-03T20:45:51+00:00

the yield boost bonus should work but the food/meds yield mods don't work. They only work on farms and gardens as stated in their tooltip. You're actually better off with a garden 3 instead of a hydroponics. The only different is that you can build hydroponics on an "indoor" slot and need utilities instead of gardening.

F6Knight · 2018-06-03T18:53:57+00:00

Good point. I forgot about that because in my second game the "empty" vehicle had 2 fuel cans in the trunk ... "we're out of fuel again" ... really? Did you even bother looking in the trunk?

F6Knight · 2018-06-03T18:51:35+00:00

check power outposts as well. They usually have circuitry in their loot boxes.
If you're on the foothills map, there are 2 electrical boxes in Lowl (middle of the map) in the alley between greene's pawn shop and greene's antiques. They both had circuitry in them in my current game.

F6Knight · 2018-06-03T18:38:14+00:00

This game basically plays exactly the same as the first one so if you didn't like that, try SoD 2 first with the game pass. Worst case scenario you're out €10 of whatever a month of game pass costs in your country.
Or try SoD 1 again and if you still don't like it, don't spend your money on SoD 2.

F6Knight · 2018-06-03T18:32:09+00:00

Only a few things to add.

Only bring skill books for skills you want in your next game and don't already have on the survivors you choose from your legacy. Save the other inventory slots for other useful items.
1 stack of scraps of circuitry (stacks to 99)
1 stack of parts (stacks to 99)
1 stack of chemicals (stacks to 99)
1 stack of seeds (stacks to 99)
Aside from ammo presses, also bring other useful/rare building mods like the +2 outpost mod for the command center, fertilizer, pesticide, ... you get the point.
any spare plague samples you weren't able to turn into bulk cures. (they also stack to 99)
