Quick Starter Guide
- Get a car and a gas can
Fire stations have one guaranteed fueled and ready to use vehicle. Otherwise you’ll need a wrench and a pump.
- Locate the gas station
Don’t waste gas, walk if needed, use Street map if possible.
- Locate the nearest park
Get a pot or a pan.
- Craft a Net Trap if possible
Second best option is Basket Trap, and Makeshift Fish Trap as a last resource.
With that you cover the vital aspects: mobility, food and water.
That is the main building block for any run (except a speedrun).
Tips and Tricks
Misc. tips
- The best melee weapon is the axe. It has a high base damage, and it gets buffed from the tool skill.
- The best place to go in the game for melee weapons? clothing store, with an ax… so many steel pipes.
- If you need to find marina or helicopter: they tend to be near the edges of the map.
- If your just going to the terminus is dont grab every piece of clothing you see. One sweater and maybe something with more versatility is the most you will need. As I only put them on when its cold or know im going to be attacked.
- Improving sweaters at fortified houses (low encumbrance, big temperature upgrade).
- Being inside a gas station with the generator turned on, it makes the inside warm (you can check it with the temperature grid).
Sewing tips
- The order of effectiveness is, from worst to best: Wooden Needle, Bone Needle and (Metal) Needle.
- Metal needle is not craftable yet and needs to be found or traded.
- Sewing is tied to the dexterity skill, so, be wary of that.
Tip for using engineer
- Quality is decided on hitting ‘craft’. Who actually does the crafting is irrelevant both to that and resource consumption.
Achievement tips
Decent strat for the 20 damage in one hit achievement
- Leather gloves
- Pastor skill
- Combat increasing meals
- Head/leg/body strike skill and improvised attack (obtainable from books)
Improving the weapon in a fortified house is a good strategy, it will take time though.
Fire axe is the melee item with the highest damage.
Tip on getting the achievement of Reaching Termina in 3 days
- Athlete crackhead run.
- I got it by just essentially just running past everything.
- If you don’t know where Terminus is by day 2, just reset to save time.
