why are golf carts so awful

[Oddbase]

literally they are a direct downgrade from knight V's

they're slow

they have limited battery life and you cannot carry items.

they would be a huge amount better if they could haul logs or rocks with a trailer or something. they also need a speed boost.

I think that unless you are traveling along the beach golf carts are generally better. Reasons why:

1. Knight Vs can crash. Golf carts slow just down if you bump into something. There has been too many times while using Knight Vs in the past I've crashed and spent a while trying to find out where my knight V was cause it flew into a ravine or into a bush.

2. You can kill cannibals in one shot with Golf carts. And while you could just move past them with Knight Vs, if you want to fight the cannibals, then you have an easy option which doesn't consume ammo.

3. Their slow speed is an advantage in most places. I see their slow speed as an advantage because the faster you move, the easier it is to crash and swerve out of control.

4. While true they have limited battery life. This only becomes a problem during winter and at night. And there are golf carts all over the island. So if you are driving from point A to point B you can usually just change golf cart because there is enough of them scattered throughout the island that unless you are diving around the same area or in niche locations, you will encounter replacement golf cart in time. They also recharge their batteries during sunlight and don't cost batteries of any kind.

5. Golf carts provide more light at night.

Provided that you know the location you are going will have some replacement golf carts, using golf carts at night is ideal since they provide a lot of light, have a gps and due to their slow speed make it easier to navigate. Also if you can't see a cannibal soon enough you may just run it over and kill.

6. Knight V's don't respawn and are required for one of the best traps. So unless you want to miss out on on of the best mutant killing traps, then I wouldn't recommend using these.

7. Golf carts come with radio music.

It makes the experience of using golf carts far more pleasant and enjoyable. To get the same thing on Knight V's you'd have to carry a radio.

honestly these are very solid points, cant argue with any of it. i didnt even know they recharged in the sunlight, figured you just had to drop in another battery.

personally i dont like the golf cart all that much, and i usually just choose to walk instead :p
BUT, it might just unintentionally be the most lethal weapon in the game lol.
love running over deer and getting some free hides and meat.

Don't know if you're doing it but golf carts go slightly faster if you hold the shift/run key.

They don't use batteries whatsoever. Its all built in. I once used to walk everywhere. However walking around an island so big can be very exhausting and dangerous. Especially if running low on stamina while encouraging cannibals.

I had no idea about this. Tried this out in game before and it seems to be true. This makes gold carts even better.
