Lever Action Rifle -- really, when they introduced this gun, I was utterly pleased! Redesigned Pump Shotgun -- looks very meaty. Taking a zombie's head off with one shot felt very good. Hunting Knife -- love the shape of it. Baseball Bat -- that woody/metal whack when you send a zombie across...

Early on, I'll take over a POI. If I'm in a group, we usually take over a rooftop to give us plenty of room. On my own, I'll generally look for a nice, compact little camper. Later on, as I go to new biomes, I'll build a stone base opposite the trader. I am yet to realize my often-stated dream...

It can vary. Often, I'll simply loot or get rewarded with weapons and tools better than the ones I can make. If I get impatient for something specific, I will make a level 2 or 3. But after that the game usually ends up gifting them to me. I will make level 6 gear if it's essential but will...

The only thing I might change is the biome blending, as it's still very sudden and jarring. I would even be open to not having all biomes in every map to increase the diversity of worlds you can generate. Currently the world is guaranteed to have every biome in it, which is a little...

I only tried the stun baton a couple of times. My initial view was that it was useless compared to a club, but with more recent updates someone pointed out it was pretty overpowered. So I tried it again and I agree -- stun locks any zombie. I still don't use it and just sell it all. It just...

Information like this is very useful - the rads heal but I was never sure how much even as an indication. Does it heal even when it's knocked down and stunned, and is there a time before the healing kicks in, or is it instantly on the moment it gets hurt? I'm considering that if my gun does ~100...

I know the radioactive zombies heal and the rad remover mod prevents that, but do you really need it? At the point where you're battling radioactives you generally have shotguns and assault rifles if not auto-shotguns and machine guns, and I don't generally stop killing a zombie until it is good...

I use animal tracker and I am aware that there are way more animals around me than I can spot. The radius of animals appearing on your compass is pretty small, but if you check your map you can see animals a lot further away. Honestly, you're just not seeing them. At night, snakes and deer are...

My brother liked making bases that did that - exploit the zombie pathing. It's pretty effective and, as you've said, many people use variations of it. At one point we took over a school for a horde base and he build multiple mini-horde ramps around the outside so we could switch from one to the...

One spear throw to the head was enough to kill most zombies, and on my brother's recommendation I had three of them on my tool belt. It felt so rewarding to spear-kill a zombie to the head this way. A far greater problem, I think you'll agree, was the spear would occasionally drop through the...

I use the animal tracker a lot, so I'm used to its eccentricities. Generally, if you see the paws but nothing on your compass, check your map instead; you will see where the animals are you've detected and they will appear on your compass once you're close enough. An animal you might have...

Things I Miss... ...Old Iron Sights. The weird style at the moment where the barrel feels like it's 45 degrees to the screen just feels weird. ...Old Screamer Heat System, the current system is more a nuisance than a challenge. ...Wolves At Night In Green Biome. My brother never used the...

I will say I feel a bit like I'm walking on eggshells. It used to be you'd need to get industrious with the work benches or get really trigger happy to summon a screamer, and I could leave a work bench or so going when I went out on a mission. Now I feel on edge if I have a single campfire...

The campire door trap did occur to me -- but the zombie was on fire for a long time and never died. Maybe the zombies need to react to being on fire...? Maybe it's because they don't react that I'm left thinking they do nothing. They just walk through and keep going. I will try out a fire pit...

I've never really gotten around to using them, I feel they're weak. I know you can go into the data about them, but I'm not sure how it actually works out. In Left 4 Dead if you threw down a molotov it created a barrier which killed any regular zombie which tried to charge through it; meanwhile...
