Messaggio originale di Ficelle:

The problem with builds in this game is that out of 100 people, there is a high chance no one is playing the same settings....and there are mods too

So, discussing builds is somewhat pointless as some traits could be very crippling is harder settings, while being free points in easier settings

I agree but im sure people playing on advanced settings already have build ideas. For a new player starting out, someone who has 200 less hours, or people that play Default Survivor/Apocalypse might want to have ideas for something new...

My settings for the game are non-sandbox Apocalypse, with 2 mods that alter game-play.
1.) Night Sprinters - Turns all fast shamblers into sprinters at night time
2.) Customizeable Zeds to give 3% chance to spawn sprinter instead of a fast shambler.

No other mods or settings changed. I'm looking at the Hardcore Zed mod adds a bunch of new types of Zeds that have abilties, probably gonna add that in soon, along with increasing loot rarity to very rare along with some other things to make the game more difficult. And Superb Survivors looks intrensting as well.
