FOUND A NEW META even new players can go to louisville !!!

[COLIN]

First and foremost sorry for the poor English

Get the Gymnast ,Strong ,athletic ,outdoors man ,brawler traits & be a lumber jack
for negatives i go with slow reader ,smoker ,week stomic week stomach ,(short sighted and spawn with a pare of glasses you will need to add) slow healer ,thin skinned ,high thirst and prone to illness.

**NOTE YOU WILL BE DROPPING THE AXE FOR THE MOST PART LATER ON BUT ITS WORTH IT FOR THE START**

spawn in rose wood grab the axes from the fire station if your lucky you can also find a bag
now with your skills you can basically kill every zed in one hit so finding a car with a key should not be that hard if your lucky you will find one in the parking lot of the fire station police station or community center if all of that fails you can go to the giga mart parking or the back parking lots to all the stores down the main strip

after you get a car drive strait down to louisville enter through the broken part of the gate or the front it dose not matter make a b line for the hardware store right by the milk N more at the far bottom end of the city if you look on the map if you still can't find it its near the farmers market and that burned down town.

Anyhow all your there for is some nails and a hammer any other tools are a added bonus feel free to stock up there on some basics its still lui and full of zeds at some POIs so if its a relatively clear area then do it.

next up is to just head strait to louisville bruiser (baseball bat factory) like right across the street were the loading bay is you should see 2 story businesses with homes on the 2ed story this area should be relatively clear and being able to take out anything with the axe as long as you take it slow ish should only take a few minuets

OK now for where to make the base the building at the vary end of that strip it should have the classic white and black checkered floor at the bottom story its close to the water and when you head up to the 2ed story you will find it to be relatively large. Along with basically everything you will need within walking distance.

Now for the part where you drop the axe we know that you will run out fast but you know what has the same potential? the nail bats you should get a bit over a hundred bats in the baseball bat factory. Train up your long blunt (don't ask why a nailed bat is a long blunt) feel free to lean on the axe if things get dicey but in time at around level 4 long blunt you should not feel to much of a difference from the axe and the bats.

Now feel free to run around the city You got HUGE parking lots right by you for all the cars you need when you can hot wire. Basically every single type of store within walking distance. Tones of electrical ovens in all the restaurants making electrical one not a pain to get.

( Make sure to enjoy the city when the power is still on the lighting is great btw! )


WITH OVER 1,000 HOURS IN THE GAME THIS IS MY META BUILD

Only thing that sucks is this build prob wont survive build 42B ...
anyone staying on build 41 until build 42 comes out in full though go nuts!

figured i drop it now like 12 days before 42B comes out cuz that's the funny cool thing to do

[tf2 pomson enjoyer #FIXVACPLS]

why would i do this again

[DrLamp]

This isn't exactly new information. Thanks for sharing, but alot of people already play very similar to this.

Let me sum up.

Build char:
Choose perks you want
Balance with negatives

Start Game:
Find weapon that matches your chosen skill
Get a car
Get tools
Secure base

Yeah...I mean, that's how you play.

No offence but i just don't think this is close to meta at all.

First of all, the tally of the traits you listed in your post sets you at 2 remaining free points to be used.

Secondly, you don't take key meta traits that should be in all builds in b41 without any questions because of how core they are: Fast learner, wakeful.

Thirdly you skip over key areas without having any lvl in maintenance at the start, which combined with the lack of fast learner means you'll be burning through weapons (which i guess is why you would even need so many baseball bats in the first place, given you obviously seem to play on zombie pop 1.

Fourth, No dextrous is poo poo, it's all fun and games until you run through the razorblade filled trees, cut open your neck, realize you did, and then bleed out because you didn't manage to pull a bandage out of your backpack in time.

Fifth, why the heck would you even go lumberjack if you don't plan on using axes late game.
For the low low price of exactly the same hecking price, you get the fire officer, which in your case would mean giving you 150 000 XP points in both strength and fitness, bumping you to 10 in both, with a level of sprinting to top it off.

Sixth, long blunt is just as far from meta as it gets in b41 my dude. It's the most endurance cost to swing, for the lowest comparative damage dealt. The real meta b41 build is likely something that starts with nimble 2 and goes spears tbh.

Seventh, why on spiffo's orange earth would you advise players to head straight on through the most densely populated place on the map (granted pop 1 is babeymode but still) to get weapons? That screams anti meta to me.
You want meta access to weapons? bats in this case? You go to riverside, do the school gymnasium, on your settings that's a few bats, then you do the sporting goods store, that's another few bats, then you do the gated community, that's another few bats and maybe a couple machetes. risk= 0

don't skip wakeful, don't do eet
wakeful makes you sleep "better" by 25% and thus recover endurance faster, and also makes you accrue tiredness slower by 30%. Both effects combined mean an much, much longer effective day (before your rest meter dips below 75 and you get the drowsy moodle)

You obviously are free to play however you best please, but i just wouldn't call that necessarily meta ^^ maybe more personal preference

I said it was MY trait build but i often switch from wakeful to cats eyes or vice versa

second this build is made to make it so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ easy someone with only 20 hours in the game can go to lui and make it a month or more that's why lumberjack and for me its all about the grind so i don't need help with fast learner or taking skills to help me early on lol

3ed i told you go to a specific location by the baseball bat factory its not even that populated what do you mean telling new people to go into a highly populated area
unless your talking about them driving there lol after you clear out this small area it has basically all you need within walking distance or in one of the few stores next door like i get it the city is mega populated but this area is like rose wood levels of hot maybe less and it makes it so getting into late game you don't need to drive a million miles to the city and back just to get some items from the city your just already there

tbh i know that 90% of the people who take the time to comment on this post will criticise it

[Puppers]

i thought it was cute always interesting reading how people play

It is actually not really a build for new players. They will not survive the first month with this build. As Kaia mentions leaving out dextrous is a serious issue. It decides whether you can bandage that neck or whatever woudn in time or not.
Wakeful also helps a lot.
Having weak stomach, thin skinned and prone to illness without outdoorsman also pose quite the threat in themselves.
With thin skinned and without outdoorsman the moment you pass through shrubs or trees, your char will likely get a laceration.
Also he is right suggesting selecting fire officer if you do not plan to play with axes.

The issue with "criticizing" is, that you shout out that you made a META build for newbies.
Experienced player points out it is not so. Try to counter his arguments. The bat factory argument is not really a good one. (How do they get there if they don't drive? Because you cannot really expect players to spend 5-9 irl days walking their characters to make your build work.)

Also your post suggest that this is a build with which new players can go to Lville, however it turns out that you want them to go there to make it work, as it relies on a factory that is there, and the items that can be found there. A bit confusing.
Think it through and try to argue and debate with people, giving logically sound responses.

(Szerintem olvasd át még egyszer a 6 pontot amit írt, mert jól leírta az alap problémákat, no meg ha a karaktered egy bizonyos tárgy hozzáférhetőségére, és egy bizonyos helyszínre alapozza a túlélést akkor nem igazán mondhatni annyira jónak. Az hogy azon a részen amikor ott jártál épp nem volt olyan sok zombi nem jelent semmit, túl közel van a pláza a belváros, bármikor jöhet egy nagyobb zombi sereg:P)
