    I have a small tip for early game A21: you can put an item in a backpack, garbage patch, or bird's nest and then take the loot without breaking the loot container. You can then mine it for resources like cloth, feathers, or polymer.

    @SilentEidolon ปีที่แล้ว +323

    With the pill cases; if you harvest the container for acid it will destroy the loot inside. However, if you search it first and exit without taking it, the loot falls out in a backpack when the container is smashed. You can do this with any container that reverts to a broken variant or is destroyed when looted. Allowing you to, for example, harvest trash for a few extra resources. And if you want to avoid the container breaking and leaving the ugly looted variant... just leave a single item like a piece of wood/stone inside and take the loot you want (just dont press R for take all).

    I dont know if anybody has already said it but once you get the water filter mod you can safely drink murky water and straight from water sorces like rivers but the real bonus is when drinking river/lake or ditch water dont stop drinking when your water is full if its safe to do so drink as much as possible this can give you massive buffer before your water level decreases

    Here’s a tip for everyone. I’ve noticed during clear missions, or any mission where the zombies have a red dot on the compass, the dot will flash red/white when it’s about to go into rage mode. Say you’re attacked by 5 at once and your hacking and slashing at them all, the compass will indicate which ones are about to rage so you can either focus on that particular one or kinda prepare you for a defensive maneuver.

    A tip for harvesting with bone knife or hunting knife:

    I might be the only one who does this, but you can 'pre-dig' a buried supplies quest easily in a flat area, just go directly down from the bouncy ! Mark until you hit stone layer, then clear out a small cave area before activating the quest, the buried chest will appear in the stone layer. People assume the dirt reappears when you activate the quest, but it doesn't (at least in A20 it didnt, haven't checked A21 yet)

    Rocks are so underrated. From day 1 you can go night hunting with nothing but a bow and some rocks sneaking down the middle of the street. Shoot, back away, shoot, back away. Reposition them or get distance with rocks. Or use a rock as a lure. They'll always stop at the spot where you took the first shot, even if you've only moved 10 feet or so. You can kill a bear this way in broad daylight.
    I've ditched hoards of zombies just by throwing rocks. Duck around a corner, crouch and throw a rock the other way. Just make sure they can hear it hit the ground and can't see you. They'll chase the rock I once ditched about 30 running zombies by jumping off a roof while throwing a rock the other way and crouching when I hit the ground. They all went for the rock, and I sat 20 feet away watching them mill around.
    Zombies beating your house down and you can't get a shot at them? Throw a rock! Even better if you follow it up with a moly where the rock landed. It's hilarious and you can do it all night long. Take your first molotov reward, go into the city a little before nightfall, clear out a building as much as you need. Break the stairs. When night falls make some noise. Fire a gun, whatever. When you get a good-sized hoard, go to a window and toss a rock into the street. Not too far, make sure they can all hear it. Throw one molly and let them all burn. Yeah, they'll immediately come back to beat on the building and more will come. That's just more XP! Rinse and repeat. Give them time between rocks to get reinforcements and keep making noise.
    Not keen on night stalking zombies in the street? Find a roof top. Any zombies you see that are too far can be lured with rocks. Take one shot and let them come to you. Chances are they'll stop about 10 or 20 feet away for an easy headshot. Stay crouched, don't make noise when they're coming. Don't shoot at them when they're coming unless they're a good distance away. It won't work 100% of the time, but once you do it a few times, you'll get the hang of it learning when you can shoot or move. Sometimes you can get away with it only a few blocks off the ground and in clear view. Works from day 1 with no stealth ability. I believe they become more aware as the days go by, and you'll need a little more distance, but it'll still work on a 1 story house. Even if they have a path to you it'll work. If they do happen to spot you, they'll already have a couple of stealth bonus arrows in them and be finished off with 1 weapon swipe.

      @doczoff5655 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I've also noticed that if you stealth shoot an animal (bye bye cute fluffy bunny) with a bow, nearby zombies will run to it and start gorging, giving an easy stationary target. Downside if you're low on food is that they're eating your supper. Don't know if throwing a lump of meat has the same effect, I keep forgetting to test this.

    • @ralphm4132
      @ralphm4132 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I like to stalk the Wasteland at night with a sniper's rifle, but even more fun is once the zombies really start to spawn in huge numbers, then herding them with rocks and then putting a rocket in amongst them. Now although XP-per-timewise the time taken to herd them with rocks might be just as well spent sniping them individually, one may easily get several thousand XP in one rocket hit and the sheer hilarity sending zomble-gibs in all directions, i feel, makes it worthwhile.
      In the early game, as mentioned, the scareder you are, the more rocks you should throw. It's amazing how often an unseen zombie that would have been a major problem will be flushed from cover. Just make sure you throw the rock hard, because if you drop it at your feet the zombies will absolutely come...to you.

    I'm not sure if this is well known or not but i'm an avid bow user and this is how: Stealth, Hit, move away while maintaining stealth (should be far enough that they don't aggro based on proximity), once they reach where you were repeat from step 2. This stealthing away from where you were should give you another opportunity to perform a stealth attack with multiplier and all.

Nerd pole your way up there and grab the goods and run.

    Zombies don't jump over gaps to reach you like they were before - they go into rage mode and start beating on blocks if you're without a path to you. I used to make them run in loops for an AFK base but that don't work with the latest experimental version.

    Quick tip for looting crack a books, just open and take all and once you notice your inventory starting to fill take a second to go through the books. With enough material and a decent horde base I start I almost speed through higher tier POIs so I can get to the main loot because I take a day getting the specific items if I'm low. Enough money and you'll never need to mine for oil shale. Respec your points away from mechanic when you've built all the vehicles. Build 2 of each vehicle and store the copies ?

    Super great list of information! Loved it! One I'd like to add for a future video perhaps? Gasoline. Seems to have been greatly reduced in A21. With A20 and previous you could scrap any vehicle and get a LOT of gas off of them but now it seems that if the car is a new model and looks trashed, it won't yield ANY gas, but the new ones that look intact will but the gas amount seems to be much less?
    There are also some of the older models and regardless of condition, they all seem to give gas as well.
    Any other observations or corrections to what I've noticed? =)

  • @signalsnowtop1746
    @signalsnowtop1746 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Tip for ammo, though can’t confirm so take with grain of salt: when it comes to ammo, don’t be afraid to use HP or AP, especially in the later game. HP rounds use to do less damage to armored targets but I believe now do not have this down fall, instead just doing a ten percent damage boost for the cost of an extra bullet head. AP rounds pen targets, do more damage, but degrade your gun faster and generally cost even more bullet heads and gunpowder. So a good way of looking at it is that HP is just a straight upgrade of normal rounds, while AP is the perfect bullets for hard POI’s that need some prep, or horde night when your sure to have repair kits on hand at your base.

    Bears are great for leather and meat early game. I've had good luck [in the past at least no idea if it's changed.] I would build a "diving board" column up at least 4 blocks, then out the full 8, make sure you have more than 50 stone arrows, and start shooting from the end of the diving board. he will mostly stay below you, occasionally attack trees but rarely go after the support pillar. easy dinner. early game.
    No matter what weapoin I'm going to play, I always go archery for early game. it's great damage it's at range, and the ammo is very available. ALWAYS crouch, to get that sweet damage multiplier. before long you'll one shot a lot of zombies. the hunting bow has a much better trajectory, making it easier to aim once you learn it's ballistics. Remember; chickens are FULL of feathers! [and pretty easy to shoot.[
    Are you a hoarder like me? don't hesitate to set down a storage crate in front of a POI but like Tem said. put it on the roadway. and mark it on the map so you can snag it later. most everything in this game has a use. and being able to go back and nab tons of loot you just...didn't need at the time, but pulled from houses anyway can be great time savings down the road.
    There are a lot of canned foods that are good for advanced recipes. none more useful than canned peas. I don't know why but at least HALF of the "canned superfoods" use it. shamchowder is one of the few foods that would have a stat buff [whether it does in A21 I don't know yet.]
    I think I was told that crafting scrap lead into junkturret ammo sells for more. I was not finding that to be the case. can it be confirmed? 300 lead, for 60 dukes or 100 junk ammo worth 300 lead for 60 dukes. [if memory servers.]
