do you think Hugh is the "gun" trader? i think you are mistaken - it's Joel now. Hugh just has armors - but i think you're right that in Alpha 22 and older Hugh was seen as a gun specialist.
Hey Prebuilt you may wanna know this is in the patch notes for the update today "Armor Plating Mods and Banded Armor Plating Mods can no longer be installed into heavy armor to prevent immunity to damage due to stacking issues"
This... just loot POIs in the wasteland with some +loot and you'll be way ahead of the game. I didn't even find the POIs that challenging. Just hit up the POIs end loot that is easy to access. T5 armor like crazy when i was only seeing T1-2.
new patch just dropped and yikes >Forge Ahead magazine loot boost from Lock Picking perk is now capped at level 15 of workstation crafting way to take a bad perk people only take for magazines and make it worse
You forgot the even further nerfs "Lock Pick perk level 1 no longer has a lockpick loot bonus Lock Pick perk level 2 now gives 1 extra lockpick when found in loot Lock Pick perk level 3 now gives 2 extra lockpicks when found in loot"
I made first aid kits in Alpha 21 - it takes a large amount of cloth, lots of beers and you need to collect blood bags. So you need to grow hops and make beers. I had a large amount of them and really the only time you'd need to do that is for multiplayer. I just did it because I could.

Playing with a friend, he specced for combat and production while I specced for mining and salvaging. He already has all his gathering challenges done after two days while I'm about two thirds done after four days. RNG lol
I think in your last video you were looking for acid. I just did a poi called "the cook's residents" and they had like 5 Chem stations inside, found a few acid in there so keep an eye out of that poi if you are still looking for acid
One thing I've noticed about this "update" is that they're no longer justifying removing so much content from the game by pointing at the player count numbers. I've also noticed most people still playing say they reverted to A16.
i legit just did a Bill Gearz place T4 Infested clear earlier today. and then i see this video of you doing the same POI haha. good timing to see this video i guess
Looted a legendary part from something yesterday. The ones to craft level 6 items. Don't remember where I got it from, but at least they're not only from the traders.
they drop constantly from anywhere clothes could. the problem being that 99% of them are just cloth now with the remaining 1% split between armor parts and legendary parts.
Savage country's are great for legendary parts. I have come out of the small one with 6. Also, if you get all the books in wasteland adventurer it increases the drop rate of legendary parts.
Oh no 😑they nerfed lockpicking as a way to get work station books. Only works until level 15. So the only way to boost work station books after work station level 15 is to get advanced engineering😑
Until it inevitably gets nerfed, the Assassin armor's completion bonus is silly good: zombies stop searching for you the moment they lose sight of you. E.g. open a door and triggered an ambush? Shut the door and ambush avoided.
Reads patch notes, nothing regarding pre-digging straight down from Buried Supplies marker and almost everytime finding the loot within a 3x3 zone of the marker
I feel like the stun baton is way over powered. Not only does it seem to have a very high chance to knock back and rag doll, but the distance they knock back is huge and also it electrifies them! Compared to the baseball bat it seems insane.
Funny stupid thing about tracking that harvest steel challenge. It will flag working vending machines as harvestable to complete challenge as well even though it would kill you to do so.
Do the lab equipment stations give acid? Wondering if the tier 1 PoI with all those lab stations and the breaking floor would be worth looking for? Think it is called The Cook's House.
SO far I am not sure if I happy with the XP nerfs to the game nor the game in general. Slowing down the early game creates more problems for players than it does anything else. Early game (game before lvl 25) is extremely tough to survive with the problems you have finding and maintaining hunger and thirst. Making this harder for players by keeping them in the early game, longer, is a bad approach. 7d2d isn't a very friendly "new" player game. The mechanics are VERY punishing if you don't know what you are doing and even for players with a good amount of time in the game, luck can play a very large part of your experience. If you get lucky and find a cooking pot, early, you have the chance to have clean water. Same with a grill. Otherwise, 90% of your game time is running around trying to find clean water and food so that you can go do the objectives in the game. If the game is being fully released this is a good opportunity for the dev's to dial in some of the strange game mechanics that make the game, a much less enjoyable experience. The book system is just terrible. It's absolutely terrible. At least create a way to CRAFT some of the books via some materials. Forcing players to hunt books in mailboxes and book piles and making that a random roll of the dice is just poor design. By the time you get enough books to make a decent weapon, quests from traders, no matter how rarely you do them, offer better rewards. Remember Iz, you guys have been playing this game for a LONG time. Old blood isn't going to up their revenue. They need to get new players interested in the game. Time to re-visit some of the clunky mechanics that make the game unenjoyable.
I will say after playing on a multiplayer server since the day they released the 1.0 beta we always looted better gear and weapons than we were able to craft. The only exception was armour which we only found 1 tier 6 piece in the first 100 in game days. Also noticed that in game day progression plays a very very big factor in game difficulty now. Feels much more impactful than it used to. Which is probably why by tier 2 quests we had 2+ radiated zombies per room while this man has 1 feral cop when drawing to the end of tier 3’s lol. Hugely agree that the game is not new player friendly. I was not overly looking forward to getting the game to play with everyone. And if I didn’t have experienced players dropping out all the key hints there’s a lot of stuff that would have taken me a lot more hours to figure out that would have made the game brutal to learn and play without that help. But the magazine reading aspect is a huge thing in need of fixing. I really like it. I think it’s neat think it’s cool. Adds a good aspect to the game. But the fact you can loot better gear and weapons than you can craft kinda makes the game feel pointless once you’ve achieved better gear in loot. Then crafting feels useless. And there’s no longer any better loot to get from loot crates. And once your crafting ability catches up you lose the desire to go do quests and get loot cuz the loot sucks compared to what you can craft and just becomes an utter ammo dump. All in all. Good game. Really enjoy it. Definitely needs a lot of polish before the real full release
@@IzPrebuilt I am blaming him because he wouldn't survive a zombie apocalypse. He really hasn't done anything well in the last about 10 years or so in my opinion. Btw I just recently found your channel. You will be in my regular rotation for 7dtd content now.
All the quest rewards that I've seen, even for tier 5 quests and completion are shit....You have to loot to get decent stuff now or make enough coin to buy good stuff from the traders...
is there any reason to go in the other biomes apart from doing the special quests to meet the trader...cuz alot of youtubers i have seen just make the base in forest biome and do all tier quests there...
The Fun Pimps made it so that no large cities spawn/generate in the forest biome. So if you’re happy with a more limited number of POIs, you could stay in the forest biome.
The other biomes have unique wildlife that may be of interest to you if you need meat along with natural plants which may be of value. The main benefit of the other biomes though is that they increase your loostage which will lead to better loot but it largely won't have an impact until you're a decently high level already so many people tend to wait until like level 30-40 or even as late as 60-80 before bothering with them for the purposes of better loot.
@@frozenburst6463 I've done that like 4 times an then selected the trader quest an nothing shows on the map. Do I have to complete every single quest in there? I've done the top row of quest only
@chrisdavison4915 It is a row about getting started. Make sure you did everything Izprebuilt did in his first video of this series. If you did everything and still don't get it, the only possibility I know is that your world is too small to allow a trader to spawn
pretty sure in the 1.0 release TFP recoded Hugh and Joel, since armor is being highlighted in the release, Hugh is more of an armor guy and Joel becomes the gun guy, if i remember the release notes correctly
Oh, I know you don't care about XP anymore, but I just saw a Jawoodle where he while wearing an XP boosting armor or mod (not sure which) it boosted the XP from challenge rewards. I at least find the interesting.
I disagree. The crowd control from the sledge has saved my wife and me in our playthrough. Assuming you get an ergonomic grip & kill a zombie, the stamina useage balances out. It would be nice if I didn't have to swap to a fully booked Steel Club to get a kill when my stamina gets low from not getting some kills with a sledge, but calling it trash is a bit much. If we had to worry a lot less about stamina, the Sledge would be the undisputed king of melee. Right now, it's good but more situational.
@@seanmcgrady8688In Alpha 21.2, that was true, but the higher health sponge zombies of 1.0 make the AoE lag. A quality level 5 iron sledgehammer, even with full mods and perks, is worse than a quality level 1 electric baton with no perks spent.
IzPrebuilt, I love your videos but your constant (and growing) negative comments about the game are honestly making me want to remove you from my watch list. It's one thing to make constructive criticism comments, but it's another thing entirely hearing non-stop rants and nitpicks. Please stop being so negative... not only for me, but for anyone thinking about getting into the game. It is truly off-putting.
I specifically come for that, because it seems like a majority of creators put their blinders on and are like "I only see the good and none of the bad" and I feel like this game needs all the criticism it can get because it is certainly not worth 44.99
Good news (at least I think so). Just saw this one in the latest patchnotes (b312).
"Removed required held item from harvest challenges"
Bad news from the patch notes, Lockpicking only boosts forge ahead until 15/100 😭
Screamers can also now show up in pairs and as ferals or radiateds.
