Yeah, building this thing normally takes about 90 days… and I do it in every game I get far enough until I die x) It’s a little demoralizing to think I have to do it all over again… but I think it looks so bad ass! That photo is an old version and I’m getting some new mods to spice things up/be more creative in the design

Rams n’ guns n’ armor. All the bits and bobs mean nothing if your “deathmobile” can still be torn apart. After that, probably life essentials (food/water). After that, probably engines and batteries to ensure it can move through hordes from a standstill, and do so fast. Then crafting gear, then cargo space. S’how I’d do it, anyway.

Composite armor. Milspec vehicles.

Are you driving around things or through them? If the former, maybe err on the narrow side. If the latter, build a spiked block or ball with enough room for what you want, for all it matters.
