PC No Horde Base Challenge

[Max Headroom]

My latest challenge is to survive horde night without a horde base. I this case I'm also playing no-trader so progress is initially slow. I managed to get 2 points in parkour and 1 in cardio. I did scout the area ahead of time and made use of things I could get on top of. I had a level 5 pipe machine gun and a level 1 pistol and a fair amount of ammo for each.

Learned a few things.

Don't reload while running. It slows you down and that's when I got hit. Get on top of something and THEN reload.

Try to control your adrenalin. My aim gets terrible when I get too excited. Take a breath.

I laid some spike traps around the area in t e hopes that I could lead my pursuers into the spikes, Not that effective. Plus there's the danger of running into the spikes myself.

Anyways, here's the fight.

I love fighting hordes out in the open, even with a primitive bow and 2-3 stacks of stone arrows.

Don't reload while running. It slows you down and that's when I got hit. Get on top of something and THEN reload.

That works, and getting on top of something gives you a nice break from moving all the time, but it isn't required. I invest in Rapid Reload, but even if you don't do that you just need to put more distance between you and the Zs before you reload, or eat, or drink, or apply a med, or repair, or whatever.
