Walker Durability

[SinfulBliss]

Im not very experienced when it comes to breaking into peoples stuff, ive done chests and crafting stations but thats all easy with a weapon, walls and walker bodies seem about the same. From what i can tell
The weapon or ammo can damage things based on the color in the description and fire bolts can break into everything but they take a long time?
To get perspective about how common is it for people to actually break into your walker, do most clans keep fire bolts stock piled just for raiding?
Would it be worth investing in the spider or dinghy ceramic upgrades? it seems as far as defense goes it just adds extra hp and honestly not very much just 3 extra fire bolts?

so far ive been lucky and havnt had my main storage walker raided but i would like to prep for the possibility

I've never had my walker broke into, but I don't go where the zerg clans are. One thing you can do to prepare is design your base that you keep in you walker to be very difficult to break into and get to the loot. Instead of just one door and one room inside, there are ways to design it with multiple doors, layers of walls, etc. There are a few good youtube videos of this. I haven't tried to make one of these bases yet, but I think that is the way to go if you take your walker with the base inside it to a hostile area.

The other option is to have two walkers or more. I have a spider that I do most of my harvesting from. It is quality 13, so I can stack up to 10 modules to reduce the weight of the stuff in it. I store a ballista, a campfire, and a medium chest in it. Once it starts to hit about 500 in weight, I then take it to the edge of the map, transfer as much stuff as I can carry and transfer to the lobby. I pull out my walker where I have my stuff stashed. I transfer the stuff I collected to it (in a base in it) and then transfer it back to the lobby.

Storing you best stuff in a base in the lobby reduces your exposure. Instead of being exposed to attack for the whole time you are playing, your loot is only exposed for a short while that you pull it out to transfer stuff to it. Kind of a pain to have to do it that way, and there are a few other strategies you can use, but I think the above is the safest.

• Nothing -> Every weapon
  
• Soft -> Axes
  
• Hard -> Balista Bolts, Repeater shots, etc.
  
• Reinforced -> Fire Bolts
  
• Solid -> Hellfire Bolts

Some people will hoard Fire Bolts, some will not, but everyone has at least a small amount of Rupu Gel laying around and can craft some firebolts on demand.

Most small raiders wont bother with breaking small walkers, especially if you don't look wealthy.
Cursing and insulting your attackers in map- and voicechat is a sure way to convince them to go the extra mile and take everything. Many people seem to fail at self control and make their fate even worse that way.

The T3 upgrades for the spider walker are pretty convenient, especially water, since it jumps from 80 to 180 and allow you to travel much farther with such a small walker.

Well there is obsidian shots for shotgun 350 damage to reinforced (100%) and solid (50%) pretty easy to craft with clan
