I’ve played many times on many randomly generated worlds, and almost every run, on Day 1, I had the option to buy the Wire Tool, generator bank, electric fence posts, Wrench, and Concrete Mix. This immediately makes the first horde trivial, even while playing on Insane difficulty with zombies dealing 200% block damage. I don’t even need to craft these items myself I can just buy them from the trader for fairly little money this early in the game, and earning that money isn’t hard at all you just gather polymers and other junk. Traders shouldn’t be selling these kinds of items on Day 1, and I almost always have the chance to restock and buy even more electric traps. Maybe I play too hardcore, but for me, this is another reason why I don’t play with traders now.But on the other hand, when I played the first horde with 2 friends, even that didn’t help me there were tons of ferals, cops, Big Boys, feral bikers, etc. I’m playing with my friends on Warrior difficulty and zombies deal 100% block damage. It’s poorly balanced.
