classes for 2 player

[Trickster]

ay my fren n' me are wonderin' what classes are good to pick for a 2 player dynamic synergy? in our current session, i picked mechanic (cause cars go wroom wroom), and my fren picked forager (cause easy livin' innawoods). we're probably gon' die soon 'cause of all the zom-zoms, so it'd be nice to know what all y'all's two cents and guidance on this is

also, where do y'all recommend livin' in the gamme? innawoods or near a city? my fren 'n me are currently holed up in a house near rosewood, just for the time bein'. we're plannin' on makin' a house innawoods later on. if we don't get eaten by zom-zoms first, 'course. id appreicate any help and tips and tricks and opinions :DD

Enginner + Veteran is a decent combo for mass murdering zombies

Engineer creates bombs, veteran makes use of them- both can also synergize by having the engineer boobytrap something with remote detonated explosives, while the veteran leads the horde with their favorite weapon or noisemaker

The veterans main bonus is the lack of panic problems- allows for much easier control over situations with higher zombies

I always use the burglar class, but that's mostly just because I'm a big fan of having lots of cars, so I compulsively hotwire every car I see. And I guess the buff to lightfooted and nimble is nice too.

Mechanic/Metalworker + Fighter/Carpentry is a good combo. Grabbing the fast learner trait is good if you want to do a little of everything.

Our first solid base is usually in the suburbs near a city - bonus points for good fences, water sources, and nearby forests. For Rosewood, we based in the firestation as its near the gas station, has a large backyard for farming, and a good fence. In Muld, we took the corner house near Cortman Medical that has a pond behind it. In Riverside, we barricaded the rich gated community in the bottom right corner.

Yeah the Mechanic/Metalworker and Carpentry skills combo is a must have for long term playthroughs, people cream their pants over burglar but with the Mechanic Profession or trait you will level mechanics to 2 in a single day and then for electrical you can just run around deconning every single households lamp, TV & digital watches/radios. But the most common use of mechanics is repairing the hood, trunk and engines of your car, the first 2 need metalworking to level 2-3 and engine repair needs lvl 5-6 mechanics depending on your car make.

Engine Quality on Vehicles is randomized up to a maximum of 100, Emergency Service vehicles tend to have the highest quality but the highest engine loudness, when you install a muffler with higher mechanics lvl it decreases the loudness multiplier further. So this is where it helps to have at-least lvl 6 mechanics, I have a 100 engine quality fire dept. bulldash driver and the engine has never stalled once, but I had to completely replace the parts because service vehicles tend to have bad parts or completely busted.

Don't worry about starting farmer, Foraging, Trapping or Fishing. Farming will level incredibly fast without starting exp bonus, foraging and trapping pale in comparison to the powercreep that is Fishing, even at low lvl you can catch 100+ cm pikes as long as you keep using worms, thats a whopping -100 hunger reduction on a single fish.

lil' update, my fren got bitten and bested in a 1v1 against a zom-zom. ggwp, he picked carpentry and fortified the house we're currently holed up in. i think we're gon' make it our home instead of buildin' our own house from scratch innawoods. but somehow a zom-zom spawned INSIDE THE HOUSE,, literally how. it was banging against the window in one of the bathrooms. now theres blood all over the wall and we have no mop lol

also wheres a good place to find welder masks in rosewood? i got all the mechanics tools and the propane torch, and im just missin' the damn mask

You can use a towel to mop up blood iirc?

As for the welding mask, there's a car mechanic and a gas station to the north, past the supermarket. If you can't find one there, you'll have to go house to house. I've usually found them in garages and crates in people's houses.
