Head/face protection differenciation

[Lorenzo_BR]

I've found a welding mask and a hard hat. The welding mask gives you decent protection, but not 100% as it only covers your face. However, the hard hat does give you 100% protection despite only covering your head and not your face!

Wouldn't it be better if they were 2 different places, and therefore, you could have items like the welding mask/hard hat that perfectly cover one but not the other, and other helmets like the fireman helmet/visor and the motorcycle helmet that cover both 100%?

The hard hat is OP in my opinion. 100% face and head protection should be for something like a riot helmet or motorcycle helmet. Both of which I dont think are in game.

Agreed. The fireman helmet is in the game and i think it has a visor though.

Motorcycle helmets are in the game. I managed to get a snazzy blue one with lightning bolts on the side.

Good to know. Haven't come across one yet. Saying that, I'm on a current 6 day play through (apocalypse) and haven't found one decent bag. Running around with a damn plastic bag at the moment. The loot randomness can be very unforgiving.

I only found a alarm clock one week in my last game. Well I assume it's been around that much time, since I still haven't found a digital watch.

As for backpacks the best place so far for me are locker rooms. The ones usually attached to a public shower, I found a bag in almost every single one of them. I also found some in sports stores.

I don't know the map well enough yet to know where to find a locker room or sports shop. I have memorised a small section around the doctors (cortmans) and grocery store.

I keep finding watches on zombies though. Haha. One time I heard this beeping and couldn't figure it out. The watch had an alarm.

you can try checking the schools theres zombies there with schoolbags plus theres lockers that you can find better bags as Slimane said, if you go directly northwest from cortman medical you will see a school next to the highway, i dont remember seeing lockers there but there might be a zombie or 2 with a bag

Thanks man. I'm out west at the mo, but I will wonder up there shortly. I keep finding great gear but without a bag I have to leave it. Living a little more nomadic this playthrough, to learn the map.

And even on survivor it's still hard to settle down now. Much higher zombie count, especially on the country side.
