Go for a noble peasent hero of the common folk, such as Willhelm tell and open big holes on royal zombies with your bow. (Bows come with mod).

Ps. Janitor occupation gives bonus to Spears.

Janitors made the best Spearmen in the roman empire.

It's an extremely hard game to learn, harder to master. It's super satisfying though, especially when rounding the peasan- zombies up for the shotgun.

The hilarious thing is, once you play this game for a few hundred hours or more, you realize normal apocalypse is super easy and doesn't have that many zombies at all, like the map literally looks bare. It's a crazy feeling from one week thinking this is one of the hardest games ever, to the next week being able to easily last 3+ months until boredom sets in.

Thank god for mods, they definitely carry the game a decent bit. Until NPC's come anyways the late game will be boring imo.

how can zombies open doors thats nuts

Unfortunately no longsword yet. No helm in the history museum, no medieval re-enactments either. Cape, Jousting Spear, Javelin.

I think they should do that one though. Not only is it comically fantastic to loot a museum or medieval festival for that so you can go around with that suit on, but also the suit of armour should exceed all armour types in the game. 90% bite resistance to the body parts they cover! But its making you more clumsy and slower !! 0.7 speed. And during a drag down maul you are still certain to die. Even if you had the option wear visor down, maybe you can take 10 hits without a scratch, but the hits could still penetrate the armour at its weak points.

Scrap weapons, scrap armor, scrap guns and workshop mods will deliver.

The downside is that you have to find 9 books. On rare loot settings it's a nightmare. I had to loot LSU library, schools and bookshops to find all of them.

would be ultra rare but possible to find a museum with some replica conquistador armor. Some Spaniard 2000 years ago conquered all of Mexico with only 100 men while wearing such armor.

You should really check the Mods created by players. Really fun Traits, Occupations (Jobs), sharpened sense like inbuilt abilites, even superhuman mutations exist. All balanced with negative traits aswell. You can rebalance anything about the game by Sandbox and Mod activation ability.

Other mods such as adding talking ability to your survivor, adding spooky intelligence to zombies (open doors speak to you, respond when you attack...Mods to change the appearence and functionial properties of the world, new zombie types, new zombie habbits, adding animal companions, adding human npc survivors and their settlements, adding alternative music, adding new settlements, new vehicle and equipment is all possible.


Just read carefully which Mods are up to date and which mods cancel each other. Mods do not take big harddisc space aswell. Both the game and all those mods downloaded are allmost instant and really easy for your machine.


Have fun !

Tailoring is a very underrated skill. Without mods, you can achieve 80% bite protection in most places (except hands), and 100%+ protection for your torso. I say 100%+ because even if your outer layer gets ripped, you'll still have more layers keeping you at 100%.

Nobody has suits of medieval armour in Kentucky though. Wasn't part of their history, so you won't find them at a museum. Could find lots of muskets, lever actions, revolvers, bayonets, cavalry swords, and cannons though - because M'urica. The only metal armor you'll find are from Conquistador breastplates, or the chain mail worn by contemporary loggers.

Would love to see what a cannon with some chainshot would do to a group of zombies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_shot

Actually USA acquired a lot of German and European medieval armours and works of art in ww2. Americans are the main drive behind medieval reenactment villages. Ye olde themed festival.

Quite right legit history for region does not include European knights, but modern day America does have and had collected an impressive variety of suits of armour from all different European nations. Given America provided a lot of tech development to many nations in early 1950s - 1960s.

I'm at the point now where tailoring isn't good because it's a waste of time, shouldn't be getting bit anyways, I'd rather not spend an hour real time ripping up clothing for protection that isn't needed. I'd rather be doing other more productive things.

The only way my characters die now is from me deleting my save files after getting bored.

Tailoring only worth it for gunshot resistance. I tried to tailor for insulation but you can only repair insulation that is lost through hole by patching the hole. To actually improve insulation there is no method without the sheep skin i guess.

Tailoring useless? clearly you havent been killed by a tree yet, 100% scratch resistance is super important if you dont want to suddenly bleed out from the neck in the woods.

You're 100% correct, the walk-to command gets 100% usage when I walk through trees, I just big brain it ^_^ if you right click the ground you can choose walk-to, or you can also bind it to a key. Hope that helps in the future! :)

Walk-to will walk you right into a zombie, could just watch where you're going.

Tailoring is easy to level if you do more than just rip sheets, try adding patches to something and you'll see. Only takes me like 3-4 ingame days to max the skill, then I'm invulnerable to scratches and lacerations, 100% bite protection in a lot of places, and 25% bullet protection everywhere.

When there are other players, having bullet protection everywhere is helpful. When you play with sprinters its nice having some reliable armor, because sometimes they can sneak up on you.

With shamblers or fast shamblers, yeah, can fight those in your underwear because you can just outwalk them.

I play single player, I'd rather walk at 2x speed and just use the phase-through zombie mechanic. Yeah it can "quickly" be done with overalls but it can also be done quicker by just not doing it, I see it as a crutch personally, not a knock against others that do it. I absolutely love sprinters despite them not being balanced for the game at all, let alone vs them with a controller.

If we want we can discuss the mechanics of the game however, I absolutely love digging into files and testing theories out. Sometimes I'll spend hours doing it in debug mode.
