Has anyone gotten lost lake to lvl 3 before heading south?

[GreedyLoU]

I want that talon 7 sniper before heading south but hot spring is the only one ive ever been able to lvl 3 before heading South. So whats the point of that gun if by the time you come back I've already gotten the .50 barret?

I've prolly played through this game 15 times since 12/20/2022 and havent been able to do this even using interactive map to get most if not all hordes and ambush camps. I usually save all bounties, flowers and meat for diamond lake outpost for bike upgrades but tried using them all at lost lake and still couldnt hit level 3.

Any suggestions? Sorry for the text wall, cant remember the last time i typed a paragraph. I dont "type" so took me like 5-6 min to write this lol

I don't think that I have ever used a bolt action a single time in any playthrough other than the deer hunting mission. SSR and 0.50 are king. Unless you are doing some RP thing, no point that I can think of.

If you want to do it without modding, ride around and free trapped survivors and send them to that camp as well as only turn in bounties and food there. You can also put off the story to 100% each zone. I just do NG+, so dunno how close you can get.

You know, i never see that many survivor's and I know where most of their static spawns are in all three sectors, well at least the first 2 ( I dont think there are any around the militia).

So what do you use for long range then? You dont get skizzo rifle till mad late at lost lake and the .50 like 75-80% in the game. I use the one from hot springs asap

Honey Badger works at range with focused shots. I generally just use the combat shotgun + Honey Badger.

Nah im talking about a fresh playthrough, start from scratch. it weird up untill 2-3 years ago i was one of those people who got pissed when there waant a ng+, now i hate them. My favorite parts of games like rdr2 fallout 4 this one cyberpunk is having the worst weapons and having to make due.

I was originally asking about the talon seven from a new game perspective. Thats why i asked when you do for long range for the first 65% of the game. I should have been more clear, my bad

Just take out the ambush camps, clearing infestations, hordes for freaker ears, hunt animals for meat to sell and lastly, rescued helpless survivor and send them to Lost Lake, rinse and repeat and you'll eventually reach lvl 3 trust.

the only camp you cannot get to level 3 on before heading down south is copelands the other 2 are easy, just clear everything off the map rescue every survivor possible and clear all the hordes-ambush camps-infestations.

There are, yes. In my playthrough I ran into about six.

All of the ones I encountered were hostage setups but yep. I clearly remember getting irritated because I wanted the Diamond Lake bonus and accidentally hit the Wizard Island one instead.
