Once your weapons get better its a breeze tho, not hard at all.
just try to avoid the zombies and try to get some more agility skillpoints.
Volatiles generally have to be avoided until the late game, though once you get the double barreled shotgun that can do decent damage to them. It's possible to get a volatile to chase you, run back into the tower entrance that has spike traps to the side of it, and then immediately once they lose interest, pop out just past the edge and give them a couple good whacks into the spike trap. Done right you can kill them almost instantly, even at low levels, though it is tricky. You can farm experience like this, I killed half a dozen that way in one night at survivor rank five on hard, just because it was entertaining.
Though there's really no point in grinding for experience when the game already doesn't have enough progression to last you the entire 50-ish hours even if you don't grind / farm. I started playing it a second time and was disappointed not to find mods to expand the skill tree, it should really have twice as many skills / upgrades as are there to keep the late game interesting.
Maybe most importantly don't feel like you're missing out if you don't run at night until later in the game. That's a pretty normal way to approach it and just sleeping the night away until you're to the point of being a fairly efficient zombie killing machine is a perfect valid choice that's going to save you a lot of frustrating deaths.
I'm max level in everything. I have weapons doing 2500-3000 damage, meaning I can basically one-shot them, and I still avoid volatiles. Why? Because no matter how many you kill they'll just keep coming back worse. It's like trying to escape the cops in GTA by killing them. It just doesn't work because more keep coming.
So long story short, feel free to stay out at night, just avoid the volatiles, especially early on.
At first, I was really wary about roaming about after dark. Didn't take long though, and you get those UV flares and with those and the UV lamp and paying attention to where the safe houses are, it shouldn't be too bad once you level up.
Everyone has different skills of course, but once you get better at the game (more experienced, you start to understand how the AI works, etc) and you get up in ranks in the game, you'll be able to do enough damage to the hunter volatiles (whatever they're called; they're the ones you can see their cone of vision on the minimap) to take them out in a few hits, and to help you out you can toss a couple of UV flares and shine the UV lamp in their faces. That usually clears them out enough for a few seconds to allow you to get to the next safe house and rinse and repeat.
I still can't beat volatiles at all, i have weapons with 200-220 damage and they still tank way too much and deal way too much damage.
The more you fight the more you get points in the fighting skill tree.
The more you run and parkour the more you get points in the agility skill tree.
The more airdrops and missions you do the more you get points in the survivability skill tree.
and the more you play at night the more bonus points in Survivor rank you get.
Just complete the mission, go on, unlock the night and farm points every day at night.
It does no harm if you deviate from the game instructions, for a while. For example; after you have burned the antizen drop, per instructions from WRE, avoid going back to the tower at all costs, and it will stay perpetually night. Run & jump downhill to where the yellow car is, and jump in the water. Chances are 1 or 2 volatiles will jump in trying to get you, and will drown, near the house on the pier. Loot their corpses, then use your "Q" key to spot more of them, and try to lure them into the water.
Just be careful, as they can jump quite far, and if they grab you before you jump in the water,
you are done for.
If you can do it, you should open up the Red Flower cafe safe-house area, so if they do manage to kill you, you will come back there, and can jump on the lower roof, caving it in, and then jump over the wall, and head down to the yellow car and jump in the water again. Good luck, have fun!
Another good place to farm Volatiles is under the broken section of the big bridge. Swim out there and position yourself in the middle of the open space, and use your "Q" key to light up the Volatiles, (try to time it so the "ping" gets to them just before they step off the bridge. Follow them down with your cursor, and when they hit the bottom dead, freeze your cursor on them,
and without touching the mouse, swim down to the bottom, and loot them.
(Near tthe police car that is lying on its side on the bottom, is a re-spawning airdrop chest, which you should also farm). Just be sure to watch the orange bar, and leave enough time to swim back to the surface, or you may drown!
I'm up to about $293,000.00 right now, so when I get to $300 k, I may go on back to the tower,
ending perpetual night, and proceeding with the game.
(Spike is a Quartermaster, by the way, and it is OK to visit him to leave off air-drops, so your points go up). I just gave him 24, and that was a big load of points!
