You must be talking compound bow. Traditional bows @ 60# is not easy even for adults especially if you expect any kind of accuracy

It probably was, I can't remember it was almost 30 years ago. I can row 320 pounds for 12 reps, so yeah 60 would be super easy for me.

 
stacks of 1 is a little harsh. I think it should be stacks of 5.
I am curious what the entity and block damage is on C4? I hope C4 will delete steel blocks/reinforced concrete blocks. if not then it probably won't get much use sadly as picks and augers will kill blocks easier. I do like how you can throw them onto Zs.

Yeah, I went too far. Stacks of 5 is pretty balanced IMO.

 
Nah ty, lets keep it fun. If you can only stack one you wont get to play around with it much. No ones gonna fill up like 5-10 inventory spaces just to use some C4 on their trip, and I don't want to go back after each one I use either. Stacks of 20 minimum would be okay.
The one change I'd make it have it do more damage. That thing should gib a standard Z.

We don't have gibs, otherwise we would. Maybe A19.

What no it takes ages to use a steel pickaxe. 2 of them wrecks the best vault door.

 
In your video, there is a new icon on the menu shaped like a lightbulb, far right next to the people icon. What does it stand for? Sorry if it has been there all along and I hadn’t noticed it...

 
lol, I drink unboiled water when I have to, doesn't bother me. Has a chance to make me sick but haven't had that problem recently. Besides, if you wake-up in a strange place dressed in just in your underwear, I don't think you would be too particular of drinking water from a stream using your hands, if you get thirsty enough. :)

Just a pain in the neck to have to find a jar or can when I could just use my hands.

As for the rest, I got the hint. ;)

I don't think anyone got it, there is a new death penalty.

 
The POI you want for a base is still there, Bob's bakery. :)

Ah, yeah it has that apartment in the back, the Pawn Shop has a decent, really neat actually, living space on the second floor too. But poor Bobs, that place got all kinds of wrecked, the first floor anyway, but ended up working really well in all kinds of other ways. I especially liked this one wall that was covered in those lattice blocks that act like ladders. I didn't build it, that was part of POI. It's an entire wall of them, can float around like spiderman on the entire wall, is weird strafing on a wall, but good weird. Go to grab a bagel and try it sometime.

 
Sweet, loving the stream of new info on A18 rollin out bit by bit the past few days:) I am def going to be hunting for those particular books now.
I really wish there were exploding arrows for the bow, it's fine if not though, just that the crossbow is the one weapon I never use. I may try it again for some 'splody-bolt action.

You can switch weapons during reload again, so no problem. We might add exploding arrows at some point for that rambo fantasy fulfillment.

 
I really liked the sticky bomb.
But I think that you forgot something or did you just happen to have that gun safe out there for no reason? ;)

well I was going to demo blowing a safe, but I grabbed the wrong one or editor placed ones don't spawn the locked one. So you got the zombie demo instead. Doesn't that RWG lake look amazing?

 
I just want to briefly interject that I for one, more often a stealth build than anything else, am certainly not useless on horde night. I prepare, and use entirely different weaponry for it than I do when "stealthing", early on my molotovs and defenses/traps are key. Still curious to your reasonings and points, that's just how I respond to the question specifically, if it helps one or both of you. I don't know how it will change in A18, if much at all, since I deliberately focus on that event without really taking any perks into major consideration, to me they are more of a bonus when it comes to Blood Moon prep.

Well I won't know until a18, but it makes me feel better that at least in a17, there are options that work for you.

Its a shortcut to the creative menu.
