Goat Sim Day 1- do you go in teams or every man for himself?

[Flariz]

Goat Sim Day 1 is honestly one of, maybe *the* most interesting heist in the game for me, at least in terms of structure:

A HUGE map, with multiple objectives (goats) spreaded everywhere, with some RNG to mix it up each run, and most importantly, none of these objectives follow an order: you can do them in any, and at any time or simultaneously.

Because it is such a huge map, if players spread. One of them that is alone goes down and there is quite a good chance they will die since everyone else is on the other corner of the map, especially on DSOD. So this is like one of the few times this game actually incentives you to go together with at least 1 other person I believe.

However, you won't be able to do as many objectives, naturally. It seems some people prefer to just YOLO and hope they don't go down.

Another thing to consider is cop threat. I was (attempting) to do Goat Sim DSOD Day 1 solo and I realized how much harder it can be if all players are in one section of the map, as opposed to this time I played with a random and we separared and the amount of cops wasnt nearly as bad - presumibly because half of them went for the random, and the other half towards me. Sure there is still the danger of going down and dying, but I feel like this is a good point to make towards splittig up.

Anyway, which approach do you prefer? Go in team/duo or just split everyone up and hope no one goes down?

2 go in the park and throw goats towards the fire apartment/do the apartment, 2 hop into a car and get the goats near construction area, grabbing goats on their way back if they have any space left in the trunk. 1 of the car team can grab an extra goat and carry it towards the fire building even.

That's quite the number of goats even before assault properly hits, and you're splitting the wave into 2, making it somewhat easier to do stuff, should you want to go for goats on the way to winters spawn/inside the cafeteria near winters spawn, etc.

Hoping no one goes down only ever works if people don't kill any civs or cops at the start, which with the car, is kinda unlikely. And at max, not spawning the weak cop wave gets you about 30s of calm, which is eh.

Usually you would want to go in teams as its just better in general to have someone help with dozer killing and to watch your back, especially with 3 other people.

Most of the time I follow the same type of schedule which is:
Start of game: one guy gets the "captain winters" goat, and the rest park or other areas(like hot dog stand)
everyone then meets up at the burning aparment and grabs all the goats near there,
wait for truck if its either 2 of the 3 on the side that you would be currently on, you would deposit the goats, if its on the other side of the map then wait for assualt to end and run to the cafe shop and slowly make their way over there.
Lets say they got the one near the burning building/alley way, deposit goats, run over to the pillars area, wait for assualt to end(or move if its clear enough) then run over to the other side, then slowly make their way over to the store on the other side of the map, then through the alley. Deposit then take the car and grab any remaining goats and bring it to the truck. (sorry if i made it confusing)

if u feel confident you split and clean 4 sectors, scaffholding part and back street, shops and possible fan AND cpt goat, Park and next to building goats and 4th one puts down fire. It mostly works out in practice, there arent that many spawns for them either way
