Taking over a looters base.

[Killercreal]

I was going to a looters base to get a gun back for a quest on the 2 second day i notice it was only 4 people so i lore one out to pay gold entry and assassinate him and one came out because he hears something i already looted the guy and shot the one that came out and killed him while the other 2 where fighting zombies sneak over there and killed them the last of them and i have control of the base now. setting up some farming and now gonna try and start a community.

A Tips! Dont leave your base for to long undefended. Get a radio and look out for raiders, cuz they going for your base to destroy it xD happen to me to many times until i learned and i promise you is really frustating to lose all your ♥♥♥♥

thanks gonna head back to base just got to find followers

because the raiders can take over the empty bases and we can't?

Well done with taking the base. That's actually my favorite way to start a base is taking over an unfriendly one. I don't like people who try to rob me.

All you need is a toolbox and some wood, chain link or cement to "take over" their base, claiming buildings, gates and towers as your own

Please explain. What do I do with the toolbox and wood? I killed a base early on, but didn't know how to take it over.

Equip toolbox and walk up to a building, there should be an option "take over". If your guy doesn't have building item when u click take over he will go look for it. Wooden buildings need 1 wood, wire fance gate needs 1 chicken wire, stone tower needs 1 bag of cement.

I am trying to take over a second base that is bigger then the first one, and surrounded by 3 trading camps. But the last few remaining enemies have dissapeared. They are not inside the base anymore and well, finding them on the map is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. There should be a way to just go in and take over the stuff and if nobody challenges you it's yours.

Well i was able to take over and find a follower i took from a trader then i a few days later i had someone wonder through recruited her but turns out she was a invisible strain so i lost the other follower and i can't go back because when a invisible strain activates it does a auto save over all you saves..... so my question is now. Where can i find a brain analyzer?????

Nice! You'll need to get people quick though. Personally I think it's better to keep presence low and build up slow. I got to about 6 people before food became a constant concern. I took out the 2 nearby looter camps and hauled all of their food off while I put up a couple barns for storage. Now i'm in early fall with only friendly camps nearby and over 120 days food stocked up with max crops planted.

We'll see how I fare in winter but for now I'm gonna make contact with the rest of the camps and take out any remaining looters.

You can literally 1 man pretty much any base once you can make pipe bombs and enough fitness to run them down when they panic. Stock up on molotovs and a couple pipe bombs and you can have them panic whenever they see you until you hunt the rest down.

I honestly don't know if you can make it through winter without winning a war, unless you are okay with cannabalism.

Brain Scanner is random loot from towns/vehicles. I don't think I've seen traders carry them even after being their customer for a long time. You can get area maps from them though.

I just found one chasing a looter down from his base to another base that had a trader he had one and i bought it

They'll run away for a few minutes, then should try to return to base. I generally go stealth, hiding just inside their gates, ready to execute any who return. It's much easier if the enemy gets locked into a slow animation, like bending over applying bandages, or sitting down beside a campfire.

Sometimes you'll get lucky and they'll die of exposure, or get eaten by a zombie. A couple of times I've found them unconscious in the snow, requiring a swift execution.

Once all occupants are dead, you're able to take over the base

Well i had some fun two bandit bases was next to each other and i pay my way in for one and shoot at the other starting a war between the two hahaha!
