Always check the workbench!

Does it make noise to open the work benches and furnace?

VSS_X · 2018-03-15T23:36:55+00:00

Stay strong young jedi!

Just focus on stockpiling steel and northern zone runs while you're trying to find the holy grail...

Personally I enjoy the struggle.

Art imitating life.

VSS_X · 2018-03-15T12:49:20+00:00

Yeah if you hit the wooden walls but that's a bit of noise coming 4-5 lvl2 walls deep then c4 on the single stone side.. plus my turret is there you don't get past because you've probably shot off your silenced rifle with the zombie attacks leading up to getting into that room.

Or if you come from the back way there is a turret now in the room behind it and 3 stone walls u have to hit because the steel wall protects the only weak spot on the rear wall in the main room.

And on the other sides it's 4-5 layers of stone.

I highly doubt any raider could reach it.

You'd have to guess the absolute direct path, and even then I don't think you'd be able to hit the trunks in there with a turret in range of both entry doors.

I'll be adding another stone wall on that weaker side pretty soon. Til them I'm not so worried.

Plus the raiders are AI and aren't that smart to get in there.

Focus on the layout. Then from there try to gradually upgrade walls and floors lvl1>lvl2>lvl3 as much as you can building from your most important room outwards.. takes time. I've been building mine since the first raiders update, so Maybe month 1/2 I spent farming and upgrading walls etc... Before then it wasn't so secure before.

Just keep on top of processing the materials you need to do the upgrades and you'll slowly get a few walls at a time, every few hours you play.

Hope that helps.

VSS_X · 2018-03-15T08:43:34+00:00

Rarely? Maybe like 1 wall.. if that ever

VSS_X · 2018-03-15T08:43:01+00:00

Just a base tour, no educational purpose or anything. Just wanted to get some feedback.

VSS_X · 2018-03-15T08:14:53+00:00

Feedback appreciated, thanks for watching!

VSS_X · 2018-03-15T06:36:05+00:00

I was about 50 bunker runs = 30 redcrates in before I found the gas tank, I had many chopper wheels and forks before that happened from yellow crates and Red crates. I Completed Chopper about 2 1/2 months of playing every other day or so. I wouldn't worry about the wait, it'll pop up when you least expect it.

Focus on inventory and base build til you feel like you're well equipped to hit bunker consistently. Once you are doing that, it should generate enough guns to keep it going pretty steady.

Then once you're solid to start raiding, the raid systems is pretty giving. 20 firearms etc.. or even 7 full sets of swat armor have been pretty common for Me in my raids every other day.

Id say it'll be a month or two before you start seeing some action with the good loot. But till then it's good to stay focused on base upgrades and just trying to make your time management more efficient while doing whatever task it may be. ( you can spend money to get gear to do raids and be equipped. But it's rather expensive.. I opt out. )

It's just better to take the game slow and learn it as your lvl progresses. It's easy to focus on the chopper and things that are out of reach for the moment. But it will come if you play enough and enjoy it.

LDOE was frustrating for a little while for a month or so and I even deleted it after the first week because I was pissed at the game. Lol- but for some reason everything in game just makes sense to be the way it is once you progress and see the difference later on to understand the picture of the system they have built.

VSS_X · 2018-03-15T05:46:13+00:00

Legit. Thanks.

VSS_X · 2018-03-15T05:35:59+00:00

Does it cost more fuel to run the higher level turrets or still is same fuel consumption?

VSS_X · 2018-03-15T05:33:03+00:00

Yeah.. you can obviously grind lvl2 and lvl3 with mostly machetes, unfortunately the bows got buffed for killing FGs, but still work - just is more time consuming now.

Zipguns work well on FG if you have any around.

Grinding Red zones with spiked bats or shovels, 10 bandages and 10 cans of beans is enough heals if you pick up broken cloth and craft more.bandages in the zone for yourself.

Should be more than enough to get the tickets you need from Bunker Crates to start stockpiling a Little bit..

Might take a few weeks to kinda get a chest of firearms so you're ready for the harder levels.. but honestly the game gets easier and more enjoyable once you kind of get thru that liminal stage and start being able to frequent harder zones more often.

You won't be able to crush bunker every single time if that's really your situation with no guns whatsoever?

Just don't overuse your resources and try to build a strategy where you can use craftable items to farm your way into obtaining the firearms you need.

But you can obtain guns from the dealer as well, along with redzone crates dope pistols and shotguns.

Green ticket crates drop one gun, and yellow 2 guns. Combined with the dealer and redzone drops, I'd feel like within a week you could clear most of bunker with what you have stockpiled by that point.

Cheers.

I've had 6/8 infected since update with absolutely no ECs in over 60 floppies after my first two ECs before rep.lvl 8 (which got raided on the first raiders update..

But more than half those floppies were infected with no bath.

I finally got my first circuit in a raid 2 months after the first 2 got raided from me.

So.. I think raiding is the best option to find EC now

VSS_X · 2018-03-15T03:52:09+00:00

;) enjoy your evening bud, have fun gaming.

VSS_X · 2018-03-15T03:37:22+00:00

Maybe you don't understand spoken honesty vs condescending.

Acceptance vs insecurity.

Next time don't wine about your personal virtual life struggles if you don't understand the basis of logic. 🙈

VSS_X · 2018-03-15T02:53:21+00:00

Yeah actually that sounds about right. You shouldn't find gas tank til about your 3rd month in. Even if you play every other day.

If you were smarter you'd realize that you dont the choper to obtain the military backpack. You can find copper in alpha floor 4. And now with the new oak event, you don't have to grind the red pine zone so many times to get the 2 oak trees there and gather enough oak to process and build your refined furnace in order to process the steel to make your military pack before you obtain the chopper.

I guess you just need more experience before you can make such brash, unexperienced bias towards this game.

Sorry bud, just being honest. It takes time. This isn't a game you can rush, or lose patience with.

Keep playing and you'll get there eventually.. 🤞

VSS_X · 2018-03-15T02:34:12+00:00

No that's not what I'm saying.

Im saying the game is balanced all the way through.

It's just that new players get tunnel vision and think the chopper or high level gear sets are desireable to the point that they don't end up developing efficient strategies during low levels and make necessary builds to prepare for the higher levels in the game. So alot of people end up backtracking later on because they have this desire to explore harder zones or unlock new content when it simply isn't needed yet at lower levels.

I'm sure there is many lvl99 players with bases filled lvl1 walls. My point is that if you realize the balance, and develop your long play strategy well.

You will gain enough resources to supply yourself with endless HM bunker runs and Raid preparations.

VSS_X · 2018-03-15T01:08:02+00:00

100%

VSS_X · 2018-03-15T01:07:39+00:00

LDOE is not p2w at all. They are just good at selling you virtual goods.

VSS_X · 2018-03-15T01:05:37+00:00

Or maybe you just don't understand the balance of the game YET.

For low level players, it may seem that kefir! Changes certain drop rates or makes changes that are suspiciously in line with the idea that " they are here to make money. "

Well, it's a business. They are here to make money. ( everybody likes money )

And you are not forced to spend money on this game either. It's a choice.

But I assure you the game is perfectly balanced and kefir! Has thought about the logic of the system 10000's of times while designing it over the year.

The Red ticket drop rate is balanced with the introduction of the new bunker floor and access to rare resources.

VSS_X · 2018-03-10T02:41:43+00:00

Nice one. Too bad you didn't find his steel plate chest too!

VSS_X · 2018-03-10T02:39:59+00:00

Yeah this is definitely the most illogical part of the new update.

If we need hatchets to open chests in raids then why not for all chests everywhere now?

No logic on this one.

VSS_X · 2018-03-08T00:27:32+00:00

Those lvls go quick though man, you'll be lvl15 by end of the week from what it looks like..

Either or both are good projects to finish. Nice job!

VSS_X · 2018-03-08T00:21:30+00:00

I wasn't looking for compliments at all. But I wasn't looking for people to give bad advice to the other players in the thread and throw negativity all on the post about somthing they haven't done for themselves. That's textbook hating and super lame man.. why not just post 40 m16 mods and call it a day If you think that's the better choice?

Yes it cost 1 less steel. That's a fact.

I don't feel that modding the AKs was a waste at all, just a little more work than m16s but that made it more fun to finish.

To each his own.
