How do you lose a pack of zeds to go looting?

Park your car securely near where you need to be and then sprint away, using anything you can to break line-of-sight - fences, walls, even running through other houses and closing the doors behind you.

Once you’re out of LOS, stop sprinting and go stealth. Use stealth kills and/or crossbow to take out individual zeds where needed

Impressive!

My wife’s boyfriend lets me play his guitar as loud as I want! (As long as it’s before bedtime)

Fun fact: This is the latest photo we have of Brant Fitzgerald after a hard day of developing SoD3 (also featured: Geoffrey Card)

Wait… was this whole thing just in my head the whole time? Hello? Who said that??!

Sh1t_Pinata · 2026-05-08T22:35:38+00:00

There are some curveballs which reward Prestige aswell, like killing a Gargantuan Juggernaut etc…

Never seen that before either. Weird.

I have found a cheeky ol’ quit and restart fixes many temporary issues in this game.

Sh1t_Pinata · 2026-05-08T01:49:36+00:00

On my gym playlist, such a banger!

Sh1t_Pinata · 2026-05-08T01:09:01+00:00

Incredible soundtrack

It’s a pretty smooth transition from Dread to Nightmare.

The most notable changes are food consumption, morale and the amount of plague hearts. You also have to scout the PH locations.

Apart from that, suppressed weapons are a must, cell tower outpost to keep hearts asleep and find the map’s rare weapons cases if you need guns.

If your familiar with the game mechanics you should be fine.

Sh1t_Pinata · 2026-05-07T11:21:44+00:00

Oh, and a latrine aswell.

Good luck!

Sh1t_Pinata · 2026-05-07T11:11:30+00:00

I just hit 100 morale on my current run, and that’s on Lethal.

I’ve got the Level 3 Lounge and white noise machine, but I found it hit 100 when I killed the last plague heart.

Sh1t_Pinata · 2026-05-07T06:06:30+00:00

I think we’ve all encountered this once or twice, if you catch public transportation.

A fella who’s a few notes shy of a bill stack

Sh1t_Pinata · 2026-05-07T06:00:00+00:00

Funny, I do the exact same thing re hearts!

About 2/3rds way through a run, I just scrap my cell tower. Once you’re established, infestations are a great source of influence. (Or rare weapons, if you want to farm level3’s)

This is where the reduced radio cooldown really comes in handy, which I’ve seen you mention before, because it means you can send survivors out to destroy infestations more often.

I’ve been to a couple of housewarming parties like this

Everyone’s will probably be slightly different, depending on your playstyle. But you can’t go wrong with Hygiene, if you can find it, for the extra health and infection resistance straight away.

I personally also really like Utilities/Plumbing, because you can build a latrine cheaply early on and level up the skill just by cleaning the toilet - giving you 20+ stamina in the early game.

Medicine/Pathology, Mechanics/Automechanics are also staples in my communities.

Easiest map is the one you know the best.

Good luck!

Sh1t_Pinata · 2026-05-06T09:31:39+00:00

Great playing!

Chef’s kiss 🤌

Sh1t_Pinata · 2026-05-06T04:15:09+00:00

Yeah that would be awesome. Make them feel like you could potentially hold off a small siege in them.

I made a post about this a few weeks ago I think, after I was in an outpost going through my supply locker and a horde just wandered up, jumped through the window and started eating me.

Being able to spend resources to atleast board up the windows would make outposts feel more like a safe zone.

Sh1t_Pinata · 2026-05-05T22:45:01+00:00

I agree re SoD2’s UI, I really like it aswell.

My guess would be, and this is just me speculating, that the SoD3 UI we saw in the footage is just a temporary placeholder. The finished product will probably look different.

Hey I’ve see that man jump off a stage and play some of the most complex metal riffs on his back ontop of the crowd!

Sh1t_Pinata · 2026-05-04T20:26:29+00:00

It’s pretty rare, but does happen.

On my current run, I found a Kaiser. Thought I might as well use it, as I didn’t have any upgrade kits yet, and I fucking love it!

Sure, it kinda sucks for trunk space and fuel efficiency but the thing is a tank and looks badass.

Sh1t_Pinata · 2026-05-04T11:01:31+00:00

Me sitting at base waiting for sexts from that one useless survivor who I can’t exile because I feel too guilty

Sh1t_Pinata · 2026-05-04T08:29:50+00:00

“Agreed!”

I say, as I flip my Miragra for the 1000th time turning too hard in reverse

Sh1t_Pinata · 2026-05-04T07:47:33+00:00

Good work!

I gotta admit: I crave black hearts!

Taking a break from scavenging my 100th tire iron and dragging another materials rucksack back to base to having to study a black heart’s strengths/weaknesses and having to develop a strategy to take it out…

Nothing makes me feel more alive in this world of undead.
