shop locations

[Cartman]

HI,

this is probably a stupid question... where is the shop that kovac mentions? also where can I get water, I am extremly thirsty and I have no more medkits and stuff....

You get hydration by finding bottles of water, orange juice, and berries.
You make "medkits."
And... no idea what you mean by shop, are you referring to places you can "buy" stuff in a post apocalyptic world? Or places to craft things?

kovac told me before sending me on a quest that first take a look at his shop. Did I misunderstood that?

I redid the town quest 2x to get some water and found some in the camp map.

I know it's hard at early game but water & food is very abundant level 10+ quest so just rush the story at early game
Btw there is Fan's camp at far left of zone map, usually there is soda & chocolate laying around, you should check everytime you finish quest
Also in kovac bunker there is 2 place where bottle of water usually spawn, in the greenhouse thing (where you usually found wood stick & log) and in near kovac at the floor beside lit fire drum
For food early game I recommend you kept green peas & can of fish for later use
green peas can be combined with beef corned and can of fish can be made into 5 fish souffle (can of fish + corn flour + 3 eggs) later on, fish souffle gives -25% targeting time for 5 mins, thats nice!
Also begging for food at online camp is okay too, high level players have too many food actually, also you can beg them for modules (scope, bow sight, backpack, etc)

The guide is great despite that it's written during the EA.
Herbs are almost on everymission, best is to find during the first missions
or around the camp map.
Don't worry about food at all, during many city missions (Panic Room, or the new guest, both from Kovak) you find too much food/water.
Do the chicken quest (Turkey with stuffing, actually) only when you get a automatic rifle, better do it by a pair, or bring lots of small dressing (20-30 is great), and atleast 1k ammo (first lead type).

Thanks for the tips. We can't really not worry about the food and drinks bec. for a few quests we have been playing on like 5% HP constantly because we don't have enough food and water...

We did the turkey yesterday...yea that went...well. with bow and arrow and +3 rank :D (-90% lost)

And as said above,
stock up with choclate bars and water, the meat and peas is good only when you get
stocked up with it, until now (lvl 20) I barely use recipes at all, only when I got stocks of the item. Do it co-op once you have a gun, it'll be much easier next time (I did on due, about 400 bullets from each one of us).
But, for a steady stream of ammunition, do A Whiff of Gunpowder, atleast when you get
your Lab to the level you can make Gunpowders, and a good bunch of lead bars (10, at minimum) for pellets, AI tubes aren't hard to find in city quests, so having atleast 1.5k-2k total gun ammo is the best for your rank, and while going more (doing critic shots) levels, you can even make well with 1k (guns are better, you know how to handle hords with mostly using critic shots).

Also, every time you perform a quest the resources in Kovac's area replenish and they are always the same, of which includes a bottle of water. They are generally found in an about the main room as well as the four ancillary rooms, one to the east and three to the west of the main chamber. Don't make the same mistake I had made by not picking up the machete each time it respawns. Even though you will probably outgrow that weapon fairly quickly, once you hit level 30 you can break down the Machete in the foundry to make steel, or perhaps it was copper, bars. A very hard resource to come by performing quests.
