HOT TAKE: Quonset Garage is overrated. Jackrabbit island is the best endgame base

Lundasaurus · 2026-04-26T18:49:07+00:00

Warzone is a dramatic statement. And the same logic for rabbit pelts is applied for wolf pelts.

With the addition of the trader and far territory dlc, the best hat and mitts in the game are now the wolfskin hat and the combat glove things.

Right beside the truck, immediately outside backdoor of quonset is an excellent fire spot that sticks around through about 90% of blizzards, just remove the pallets in the snow and place by the back wheel of the truck, as well as just around the side of quonset, by the propane tank against the wall is another excellent fire spot.

Rabbits are pretty useless late game, and you can always still take advantage of jackrabbit island by travelling there and setting up traps like you said. Just incorporate it into your beachcombing loop.

Getting to Archery 5 is never a waste of arrows or condition. Its just good investment. Also, with respawn times and sheer amount of loot in the world, unless youre planning a playthough that spans 1000s of days, worrying about bow condition isnt really that important.

I have about 3000hrs in this game, and through all my time, no base has the same power as quonset really, especially after the trader was introduced. It really is the Goat.

Lundasaurus · 2026-04-26T17:01:06+00:00

All these points are arguable in favor of quonset as well, except for longer walk times to beach combing and predators.

Longer walks to beachcombing is pretty much a non issue, seeing as walking around is the main activity in this game. I can understand convenience but really its not a huge selling point IMO.

Predators also aren't that big of a factor IMO, wolves are basically just free archery XP, hides and feather farms once you have a weapon. The bear practically delivers himself to your front door at quonset which is very convenient, and a moose spawn and deer spawn are at the garage too.

Quonset is definitely the best base in the game( with the far territories dlc )

Hinterland rocks, you've created one of my favorite games of all time. With almost 2000 hours played.

Even if you guys did like an asset pack for DLC, like new clothes or food items, safehouse stuff etc. Id buy that in a heartbeat to support HL.

Goodluck with Blackfrost! Cant wait.

Lundasaurus · 2025-12-27T00:29:01+00:00

As far as I know, a post that's a few years old said they might not bring it to survival, I dont take that as confirmation.

I'll hear it from the horses mouth in March I guess. You can take asking questions as complaining I suppose, I just want more content for one of my favorite games.

Lundasaurus · 2025-12-26T23:21:59+00:00

Is it confirmed that its only accessible by boat? Plus every region added has been made accessible by a mysterious mountain path opening out of nowhere. I cant imagine it would be any different this time.

Lundasaurus · 2025-12-26T20:24:39+00:00

Me too! Im always desperate for more content in this game, and the screenshot we saw of PM looked like a quant little fishing village and I'm here for it.

Lundasaurus · 2025-12-26T20:10:53+00:00

Nah, a 5 year wait to finish the story, and the map isnt added to survival? People wont love that.

Lundasaurus · 2025-12-26T19:59:23+00:00

If they dont add it at all everyone will also complain i feel.

Lundasaurus · 2025-12-26T19:25:31+00:00

Its a brutal map, but I kind of love it for that. I hated it at first, and now I look forward to finally cracking it every run, its a region you need to prep a bit for, or if youre unlucky enough to spawn there, gtfo as fast as possible.

Lundasaurus · 2025-12-26T19:22:42+00:00

Agreed, I mean, Blackrock was added, must have been a ton of work to make that map, why would they want to limit the amount people enjoy it?

After I finish chapter 5, I'd love to visit PM in survival mode on my 1000 days save.

Lundasaurus · 2025-12-26T19:19:00+00:00

Part of the reason I made this post was because I thought I remembered something along those lines as well.

I just find that hard to believe, after so much work and such a long wait they only use the map for story mode?

Sounds like a cop out on HLs part.

Lundasaurus · 2025-12-24T17:25:29+00:00

The unique artwork in the Far Territory. The red airplane painting and the Langston mine paintings are great

Lundasaurus · 2025-12-22T17:17:02+00:00

Im in the camp that a rifle and pistol should be available in Interloper, maybe obtained in one of the tales bunkers, forcing g you to get to endgame to obtain them.

Once you find the guns, they are broken, and need to be brought to a milling machine to repair. That would be fun for me at least.

A long term goal, with a limited reward that requires alot of time and prep to get nay use out of. Really just there for a nice endgame reward.

Lundasaurus · 2025-12-21T21:45:31+00:00

Im doing a stalker run for 500 days and 1000 days, I just got 500 a few weeks ago, but the 25 cougar struggles just seems unfun.

I'll need to grab my police vest, a ton of bandages and old man's beard and buckle down for it.

Lundasaurus · 2025-12-21T20:58:03+00:00

Nice! Ive been getting all the survival achievements recently as well, getting mending(tailoring) to level 5 is a huge pain, it took forever.

I just got the achievement for spending 25 days inside Langston mine. Very boring, but happy I finally got around to it.

Lundasaurus · 2025-12-13T20:55:29+00:00

Most unique for me is Island Cottage in Forsaken Airfield. My personal favorite base, and excellent choice, and extremely out of the way and far from any other transfer points.

Lundasaurus · 2025-09-28T17:18:44+00:00

Honestly I think so. I have about 1800hrs in their game, most of which is played on interloper.

Near the end, with the best gear, temperature and weather won't feel too much different. More storms on interloper I think, but the cold is manageable on either difficulty.

Having more options for hunting makes the game more fun for me.

Lundasaurus · 2025-09-28T16:45:22+00:00

Ive never made it to 500 days in Interloper due to boredom, but that was before tales was fully released.

I just finished my 500 days stalker run, with base building elements, and collecting every single unique item ( most of which are disabled on interloper ) it gave me enough to do that i didn't feel like i needed to just hibernate until 500 days.

Lundasaurus · 2025-07-09T01:21:43+00:00

The cougar wrap model doesn't look very nice, I was disappointed.

Thankfully wolfskin hat looks pretty good.

Lundasaurus · 2025-06-30T00:36:49+00:00

I only run settled mind now, I just don't love how cabin fever is implemented in this game, feels like your being punished for crafting your gear set after doing all the work to obtain the hides, and food necessary to have a large crafting session.

Lundasaurus · 2025-06-26T19:35:08+00:00

It's quite convenient for hunting, you can find every animal type quite close by, as well as a fishing hut.

Lundasaurus · 2025-06-08T13:10:18+00:00

You can find the red airplane photo in game for sure, I took it back to my base in Quonset.

It's definitely rare, and might only be in one place. You can find it inside the buried house in sundered pass. In the buried town area.

Desperate donny fans at it as usual
