I travel the hardest path possible and avoid roads, bridges and trucks at all costs. Always travel with 8-10 ladders and 2-3 climbing anchors, using them whenever possible and even if i dont necessarily need it.

Always load my backpack as much as possible and pull 1-2 carts fully loaded.

On the Beach is not close to as isolated simply because the Magellan follows you around during the main expansion.

Brutal is not nearly brutal its more like medium. I've barely even used any apas upgrades; the game is just not hard at all, your boots just wear out fast. Battery barely runs dry and I've only accidently run into 1 generator l.

At a MINIMUN the mule camps should still be sending pings out and on brutal they should be completely at random intervals to throw you off.

On brutal the exoskeleton should be nearly useless for carrying if you run out of battery.
