PC Horde every night questions and skill setups

[BaconsTV]

Hey,

Its been a while since I booted up 7DtD, numerous things have changed, which all seem neat from the little I played yesterday.

I was thinking of doing a lets play using the Horde every night option with a max of 64 and random gen. Is it possible / have you managed to make a base or are you constantly roaming around and buff up some POI or hut for the night? Any tips? or strategies ?

Lastly what is your usual solo build when it comes to skills ?

Thanks

With hordes every night you just about have to use POIs, at least for a while. Go work on a base when you can, then leave it for a POI during the horde. That way you can get it built without it being destroyed the first night. Of course, that also depends if you build cheesy bases or not. You could make a zombie-proof base on Day 1 and be fine.

I just finally started my first A18 run. Went after spears first, but was disappointed with them. Probably stick to clubs and maybe shotties this next game I'm about to start. I also go heavy into INT because I'm playing on reduced loot % with vanilla 30 day loot respawn. So I need to be able to make transportation fairly quickly.

Hey, thanks for that.

I'm more of a blades type, the spear is very useful keeping zomberts out of range, if you dodge the enrage (its a p.i.a). It feels a little hard to get a machete before day 7 and if I'm going to be doing a horde every night I may be a tad screwed.

However, looking at the skill tree it's like things are not "must-have" only the forge and in a horde every night I think I will need to at least get that skill + cement mixer and the other work tables ye? Or try build as much as possible until day 7 and if I have not found the schematics by then to use skill points in them?
