Can yall rate my build?

[real parrot]

Heres the build

[delicate cliff]

it has burglar

bad

[real parrot]

never tried b42

[cold dawn]

It has issues, unless you're deliberately trying to handicap yourself

or some of these choices are driven by RP

[delicate cliff]

you do not need strong, you merely want it

i'd say athletic is more valuable than strong

especially because of how hard it is to level fitness

and i know you picked strong for the carry weight because you're intending to sneak around with inconspicuous

not for the extra melee damage

sleepyhead is also incredibly bad

possibly the worst trait to pick

ok so that's clearly an RP build because you took sleepyhead over short-sighted

[cold dawn]

If you're trying to make things easier for yourself, I'd skip slow learner, sleepyhead and inconspicuous
Burglar is kinda questionable as a profession. The positives there are hotwiring (which you can unlock quickly with any build by stripping electronics and training mechanics) and nimble (which you get cheaper via the gymnast trait)

[real parrot]

slow reader is just free points no?

[delicate cliff]

he said slow learner

[real parrot]

same

[delicate cliff]

slow learner isn't free points

[cold dawn]

you picked slow learner.
That's a flat reduction to all gained XP

[delicate cliff]

you may not need fast learner in some occasions, but you definitely dont wanna take slow learner

[cold dawn]

Slow reader is just reading about 25-30% slower

[delicate cliff]

you dont need burglar hotwiring either

car keys spawn often enough for it to not matter

it's not that hard to find them

[real parrot]

like in b41 they spawned rarely in houses and now in b42 its almost in every house?

[delicate cliff]

it's not just houses they spawn in

[real parrot]

ik

zoids

[delicate cliff]

they spawn on the ground, in the ignition, in the glovebox, and surrounding zombies

unless you're in echo creek, the average town will have enough houses that you'll eventually find a car in the first week

[cold dawn]

You're bound to find at least 1 set of usable car keys in your first week.
Even if you don't, between the books and how easy it is to level electronics/mechanics you'll unlock hotwiring without the profession in a day or two

[delicate cliff]

VHS tapes spawn more common now

you'll find carzone

[cold dawn]

there's a lot better professions for the cost

Carpenter, construction worker, fire officer, police officer, security guard

[real parrot]

fine just tell me the things io need to change

[delicate cliff]

your profession, remove slow learner, inconspicuous, and sleepyhead

you could replace strong, but that's still mainly preference

[cold dawn]

@real parrot I'd ditch the traits I mentioned before, get fast learner and gymnast, a fitness trait, and pick a better profession.
police officer if you want to use guns
Construction worker, fire officer or lumberjack if you want to do melee
Carpenter if you're undecided (you get more free trait points and can pick something like brawler, hunter or ball player for the combat XP bonuses)

[brazen urchin]

Carpenter's +1 Short Blunt is good enough tbh

I sent this in DM's already, but if I truly had to make a Burglar in Build 42 with a stealth focus, I'd try something like this

But honestly Burglar is just not very good anymore.

[real parrot]

but in b41 its still good

btw is 42 in beta or fully out?

[brazen urchin]

It's in the unstable beta phase

[real parrot]

oh

i thought it was released

well it is

but not fully

i dont fully understand the beta and apha stuff

[brazen urchin]

You can play it, just dont expect playthrough to last long if you mod

As new features come out they might not be fully implemented in old saves

Also expect bugs that wouldnt be present in a more stable version of the game

[real parrot]

the only mod ill use is: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2991923398

[brazen urchin]

It might not seem like much but still dont expect playthroughs to go for super long as updates come out and break mods

Maybe your modded save will be compatible, and with less mods it's more likely, but you never know

[real parrot]

okay i guess ill still play the b41 until b42 releases fully

[crisp jewel]

fear of blood is bad now in b42, high thirst is so shit, sleepyhead literally just makes you have 20% less gameplay in day, and if you want to grind skills like crazy keep slow learner. take conspicuous instead of incon, and change speed demon for cats eyes

[olive herald]

Idk if they changed it but conspicuous is just one of the freest points imo, and inconspicuous is kind of waste

but yeah I guess you mentioned stealth, but idk either way seems waste

not a fan of hard of hearing either, the smaller perception radius is quite bad imo

[brazen urchin]

It's never been a problem for me. If anything, it cuts out superflouous zombie noise. I know that if I hear a zombie behind me, it's an immediate threat and I can act appropriately.

Beyond that, it teaches you good playing habbits. Always check your corners, occasionally glance behind you, dont have your back to an open door when looting, etc.

[olive herald]

Hmm I don't really have much issue with that, I usually avoid anything that affects my combat since I am like almost always killing zombies on average 100 a day lol, if you know what your doing, you don't really die unless your greedy and fight with low endurance and other modules

or my favorite, driving too fast and crashing into a car middle of the road

[brazen urchin]

Pretty much. And if you dont have an issue with them already then Hard of hearing probably won't affect you much

[olive herald]

fair, been a long while since I played with hard of hearing, think only one character in b42, I get enough points from like, thin skinned, slow reader, conspicuous, weak stomach, prone to illness + custom occupation for everything I need, u could throw in free points with short sighted, but glasses don't fit my look so I skip that lol

[brazen urchin]

For two point perks I always like slow reader over short sighted (as long as Im playing single player and can find some reading glasses, that is)

[olive herald]

yeh, I mean slow reader on single player is really not an issue at all
