" HOW COULD ANYONE POSSIBLY DO THAT EASILY?" - Swirley

With this guide, you're going to be able to reach canada..

IN 10 EASY STEPS!

Edit 6/24/17: As the Coccyx update launches, this guide will serve a better purpose as a ZP Farming guide. Even though it's originally made for Speedrunning, it's one of the fastest way to gain ZP as for now.

Edit: 6/25/19: I have a better computer and video now, neato!

Step 1 : Preparations!

“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” - Some Payday 2 Voice Line

Step 1
To Prepare the run, you must :

- Have character with a "friend of dog" perk.
- Play Solo (With No Buddy)

Done those 2 simple things?

Lets move on to Step 2!

Step 2: Starting the Run

As you start your journey, i have one thing to say

It doesn't matter what you pick really.

If you're planning to speedrun this, just skip everything like i do! :p

Until Step 3

Step 3: Doggo

After ignoring the Traders, you will be given a choice to adopt a dog.

IT IS HIGHLY IMPERRATIVE THAT YOU PICK THE DOGGO

Done? Onto Step 4!

Step 4: Martyr Dom

During the Siege, ♥♥♥. Take sole control of doggo, and leave when you can



Step 5!.

Step 5: Harder Better Faster Stronger

Obtain SUPERIMPRINTED-DOGGO

Onto Step 6

Step 6: The Next 11 Days

Basically, if the game becomes:

"Food Run Simulator 2016"

This is what you need to do essentially, as in Bare Minimum:

• Only do Cabin/Rest Stop/Y'all Mart runs

This is what i reccomend if you got the opportunity:

• Hardware Store

Still easy right? on to Step 7

Step 7: The Pre-Planning

You have 50+ Food there, you can just go solo with 15 food on rifle ammo and an Ak47.

If you have 75+, you have a lot more options with everything and stuff.

Reccomended for 75+:

• Get Weapons for 2nd & 3rd Person
  
• Buy Ammo
  
• Get Gas (for the respective weapon)
  
• Save 2x each ration of the meal for the last supper

Now, to finish it off...

Step 8: The Siege

As the dog, you can make use of the Aggro by barking and pressing C. By spamming C and going on the corner, picking only the one that blocks your path is the only way to survive solo.

If you have the 3 People, it's going to be easy sailing there...
Or is it?

Step 9: The Last Supper (and Siege)

After the Last Supper... I don't know what happens next actually...

The siege is actually one of the easiest yet one of the most hardest thing in the game. What it comes to, its just kiting in a big square. Best case scenario, you can circle the whole map. Worst case scenario, less than that. Same strategy as the 1.5 Hour Siege, but on a bigger scale basically.

The siege has 5 - 8 building with supplies that you can use to your advantage. And usually you can get 50 rifle ammo, so puts the ammo count to 135 - 200 Rifle Ammo.

DO NOT USE ALL OF YOUR AMMO

Like it says, its not THE LAST...

Step 10: Victory!!!

You've been through 5.5 Hour of Pure Shit. You're not gonna let A wall destroy you, right?

If you have 25 Bullet, good. Only shoot the ones that blocks your way, never waste one shot.

Do NOT get intimidated by the swarm of zombies as you reach the gate. The swarm will come in and if you're out of ammo, just huddle up and you'll be fine.

Until it comes, you just have to hold it. and when it comes, you'll shake your hands with the minister and finish the game.

Afterthought

It was fun.

I saw another way to farm ZP.
But to do this you need to open the O*P*P* mode by going through the other two extreme modes (rare and familar). Take the flamethrower and burn the rest of the standing dummies.
These modes are very difficult to complete. I collect fully upgraded characters up to 6-7 strength and fitness stats. But they still kill me, it’s random or I’m messing up.

Only tell em so if you can Cool It!!! Next time haha

[Reidapedia]

i once had my whole party killed in a trader camp. maybe dont tell the chainsaw merchant to COOL IT.

[Handstands on a Trans Am]

Yeaaahh, but that's yet another mouth to feed. Heck, I think I once had my irritating character killed in a TRADER CAMP of all things. I just find pathanoid more consistent.

[Regrettable Acts in 1 Step]

Bandits are nice when you get someone with a Cool-It ability, it's basically one of the best ways to recoup losses pass a certain threshold (Day 7 onwards on Marathon or K.E.P.A for Tough Bandits)

[Handstands on a Trans Am]

I'll admit I was pretty smug about the friend of dog thing, 'cause I was already using the perk like that. 'cept sometimes I also start the game with another guy with paranoid and pathfinder. I hate bandits.

[Regrettable Acts in 1 Step]

Also to be fair, i might revisit DRTC because i haven't played it in a long while, so idk.

Doggo

[Handstands on a Trans Am]

If I cringed every time you used the word "doggo" in this guide, my face might as well just be a big wrinkle.
