torpid swan Apr 3, 2026, 4:55 PM

#

Do not try to fight look for shelters (Bases] away from large areas and look for food and everything you see that will help you in a long time

drowsy burrow Apr 3, 2026, 4:55 PM

#

alright

#

is there any good traits you recommend

#

rn im playing burglar for the cars yknow

torpid swan Apr 3, 2026, 4:55 PM

#

Fighting is not everything and do not run if you play without runners only walk, the PJ is faster than the Z

torpid swan Apr 3, 2026, 4:56 PM

#

drowsy burrow is there any good traits you recommend

For the positives traits

#

Use

#

Outdoorsman

#

Resilient

#

Strong

#

Fast Learner

#

Cat’s eye for the night

drowsy burrow Apr 3, 2026, 4:57 PM

#

torpid swan Apr 3, 2026, 4:57 PM

#

And negative i recommend

#

Claustrophobic

#

Prone to Illness

#

High Thirst

#

Slow Healer

#

That's traits are perfect for you

drowsy burrow Apr 3, 2026, 4:58 PM

#

torpid swan Apr 3, 2026, 4:59 PM

#

That depends on what you want to do

drowsy burrow Apr 3, 2026, 5:00 PM

#

i personally feel like burglar is good since claustrophobic

#

and for fast travel

torpid swan Apr 3, 2026, 5:01 PM

#

If u want to create bases and live like 1 month carpenter + balanced traits

#

If u want to fight and go crazy looking for loot or bigger rewards firefighter or police officer + balanced traits

#

That is my opinion, using my experience to give u good traits and ect

drowsy burrow Apr 3, 2026, 5:02 PM

#

ah alright

torpid swan Apr 3, 2026, 5:03 PM

Don’t take claustrophobic it sucks when trying to sleep but thinned skin fast/slow metabolism slow reader hard hearing prone to illness and weak stomach are my best picks for negative traits and don’t take things that that affect hunger or thirst as it slows you down for positive traits take strong helps with combat when new take vehicle knowledge for burglar fast learner is good and there is one that decreases level requirement for recipes which is good for quality of life.

junior vault Apr 4, 2026, 9:57 AM

torpid swan Apr 4, 2026, 9:59 AM

#

Muldraugh population is 14k in insane is impossible to use melee

junior vault Apr 4, 2026, 9:59 AM

No amount of zombies can be too much for a sheet-metal reinforced baseball bat

#

This thing just mowes them down in rows

torpid swan Apr 4, 2026, 10:00 AM

#

Interesting

junior vault Apr 4, 2026, 10:01 AM

#

If you play with Apoc zombies, considering. There's a lot of shamblers, makes it way easier to manage a decent amount at once

Okay so

Dont

#

Bc they are wrecked

junior vault Apr 5, 2026, 8:13 AM

drowsy burrow well...

Usually check the body of the car. If it seems intact or plausible (not all the car parts looks damaged) then you can consider it. Another thing to look at is engine quality. It is not condition, which you can fix. Engine quality cant be changed on the car. It dictates the chances of the engine starting or staling. The bigger value the better. If its lower than 50 dont consider the car for a long term. You can check quality of engine by clicking its picture in mechanics tab

#

Lastly, check if it has fuel. You dont want to crank the car with dry tank. Also, the first thing you look for is key unless you can hotwire

torpid swan Apr 5, 2026, 9:52 AM
