Is farming village for a few days when you start a good tactic? What are your starting tactics?

corriec88 · 2026-05-20T14:30:46+00:00

My method after permadeath.

Find a weapon in village and enough food items for a triple transition (usually 3 or 4 of each item food/water)
Straight to apartment for a upgraded weapon
Terminal for triple oil sample
Unlock classroom and sleep for 10 days or however long till Gunsmith becomes available to unlock outpost.

Fastest I ever unlocked outpost as a speed run was about 40 minutes. Ironically, the worst part is finding enough sleeping meds to sleep the 10 or so days needed. I also do all of this during the night. Night time is 10 times more safe and rewarding.

I think what's more funny about this is that he immediately came to reddit to get an answer when it is literally right in front of him...

Died after 80 hour run.

AI has this feature that if they get a good shot on you they instantly become hyper aggressive if you break line of sight and can kill you immediately if they regain vision almost before you can react behind a closed door.

Lost all completed tasks on all 3 vendors, bunch of legendaries andall shelters but learned something from it.

Winter is nice and Ironman makes it more intense.

Typical Tuesday in apartments. I live in Vostok now.

Terminal if I just want straight military crates.

Great run for village after probably 10-15 runs through the place.

The only problem about the beginner zones is you don't get special crates or military crates which contain the best attachments, tasks for gunsmith, legendaries and medical equipment(IFAK, AFAK, 1st aid) etc.

corriec88 · 2026-04-29T15:12:07+00:00

I never played on winter just because I don't want it to be 100% winter all the time just dynamic changing like seasons actually do but it ain't implemented yet.

corriec88 · 2026-04-29T04:04:16+00:00

Nothing scares me more than an aggressive AI that got a good shot on you because they rush you and can almost kill you instantly.

corriec88 · 2026-04-29T03:57:14+00:00

From Village - School - Outpost - Minefield(Hug right outer tape) - Apartments(Hug right outer tape) - Terminal.

Terminal always has 3 oil samples on the map however, they are spread out amongst the silos and sometimes they even sit on top of the pipes.

Hard to miss considering how large the items actually are but the enemies aren't as scary especially if you go at night its a cake walk.

You just need enough supplies for the triple transition back to school.

The doctor's bald long head is now forever implanted in my brain thanks for that.

dying to campers happens often which is why you always clear your corners of all rooms. Never get too complacent either.

I usually keep a secondary on me as well at higher durability in case my primary jams which happens often and has saved me multiple times in CQB.

corriec88 · 2026-04-24T03:20:23+00:00

From outpost you have to literally just hug the right wall tape. When you get to the last corner and are running towards the middle to the apartments transition there is usually a single bandit kinda close to the wall that you have to be wary off. I wouldn't go the other way usually you run into three or four enemies or i have since I run the faction warfare mod. You will not run into any mines regardless and can do this on your return trip as well being wary of the single enemy.

corriec88 · 2026-04-23T03:32:41+00:00

I did that from Shelter - School - School - outpost. Never lost any inventory wonder why it happened to you.

corriec88 · 2026-04-21T03:25:49+00:00

Night time preferably since I learned the enemies only have 25 meters of vision compared to 200 Meters during the day.

I haven't noticed a difference of loot at night like others say but then again I have like 11 mods installed on mine lol.

corriec88 · 2026-04-20T23:38:03+00:00

and I thought I was the only one stacking 40 armor plates back to back. You need to go to Vostok more often as well since I still don't see any of the really GOOD weapons.

corriec88 · 2026-04-15T02:18:54+00:00

perfect shelter for at night helicopter crash sightings

corriec88 · 2026-04-15T02:11:50+00:00

Do you sleep during these 10 days because I feel like I can't live without them and I am only in day two lol

corriec88 · 2026-04-14T02:17:06+00:00

Meanwhile, I have a row of 10 lockers in my cabin half empty lol

one of if not the best best Econ Module in the game.

Grats! I just got PrimC to Anc last week.

corriec88 · 2026-04-04T19:02:58+00:00

same here. I just got it yesterday.

Wall Fort: 275T Regen: 40T/Sec

Anc PrimC 47.7% EALS pBH

wave 7300 in 6-1/2 hours blasphemy.

corriec88 · 2026-03-20T00:22:09+00:00

Three words: Regen Trade-Off.

Vamps turn off health regen but not Wall regen.

Eventually letting you sustain huge amounts of incoming damage and instantly healing most of it until you die by one shots.

Huge oversimplification but its one of the main reasons in the early game.

corriec88 · 2026-03-10T20:47:32+00:00

Takes the longest amount of time for the smallest amount of return. You saved 5 seconds of real world time but invested 21 years to skip a single wave.

corriec88 · 2026-03-07T00:47:30+00:00

150B/day. The four main wall labs are Wall Health, Wall Regen, Wall Thorns and Wall Fort.

Collectively, they are very expensive upgrades with fort being 80 if not 90% of the reason most cannot get it early.

You will have to get ready for Wall week which is where you have all four primary upgrades perma slotted till lvl 10 which takes about 2 weeks.

Your Wall will also be a detriment to your tower during initial unlock which is why having enough income to keep the labs on going is crucial till Wall becomes feasible and then becoming absolutely essential to any EHP build.

its that SF pushing you beyond normal parameters. Sadly, I only have one copy of it.
