Can I survive a blood moon by driving around in the jeep?

[JELIMINATOR1000]

Something I just thought of.

*EDIT*

Thanks for the info. I already have blood moons turned off as my playthrough focuses on exploration and being on the road a lot. I just wondered if it was possible to deal with them with vehicles as I wanted to enable them. Looks like I will just keep them disabled and adjust other things to keep the game fun with this play style.

I want to say that during a blood moon, if you try to use a vehicle the game simply spawns more vultures. And they are fast enough to keep up with you and attack.

But I'm not sure where I read that.

Supersonic vultures spawn so no.

While you might be able to its not a good idea. When you get too far from the zombies you'll just have them despawn and respawn in front of you and you'll end up with super fast vultures too who will rip the car to pieces.

If you want to cheese the horde the easiest way is to go to the roof/upper floors of a big POI and just break the stairs so they can't reach you. Let them tear that random POI apart while you throw pipe bombs at them and call it a day.

Game Devs add Perk: "Train your body in number one tactic against the zombie menace: Running away from them."
Also Game Devs: *making running away impossible*

*thumbs up* in a nutshell.

I don't consider sacrificing POIs to zombies as cheese. Converting them to boom pits has been around a long time. And in 1.0 with the fun cranked up, small POI's even upgraded to concrete are going to get trashed on horde night.

Unless you build an engineered base to handle multiple hordes, POI hopping for horde nights is legit.

Which perk is that?

[NHLreturns]

depends if your jeep is faster than angry birds

[Exerlin]

maybe it will work if you make a really long looping tunnel underground drive through that all night! there are no supersonic moles

[Astasia]

IIRC you'd have better luck downing a few cans of mega crush and sprinting around on foot all night. If you try to use a vehicle it spawns the special cheat birds that basically teleport attack you and slow your vehicle to a crawl. Last I heard those don't spawn if you are running on foot, but that info is from a couple game versions ago.

you ever heard about megacrush? no? tought so. you CAN run away all night. you just cannot casually DRIVE away. the reason for this was that people just flew around all night with gyro makeing horde 100% riskless.

If you don't like dealing with the horde night, and just want to cheese it by driveing/running from them, or hideing out on a rooftop, why not just turn the horde off?

The point of configurable options is you get to play the part of the game you enjoy, if you don't want to build a tower defence to deal with the horde every 7 days then you don't need to, nor do you need to come up with tactics to avoid something you dislike, just disable it.

Zombies can dig underground M8.

I think the tunnel is to avoid the vultures that attack characters using vehicles during horde nights

[God Bless The Dead]

Thankfully no, the game is already too easy now..

Not sure if this still works in 1.0 but if the tunnel is long enough and you keep moving they shouldn't start digging. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E74u7TesJu8 Mr.Reach tested underground bicycle base in A20 that worked relatively well, I don't think zombie AI has been changed that much since then and it should still work.
