How did you last die?

I mean the big guns , like M249 and grenade lanchers. I can only find them in military bunkers , but the ID cards are so rare and it takes a little while to get Computers skill high enough to hack in them and once you get it high enough , no more bunkers spawn nowhere.

whelp had a new record for survival time 2 day and I was pimpin’ out a motorcycle I a garage made it my home base. Had to leave for a water run and a wolf spider killed me and learned that bows don’t kill everything.

Nail gun kills everything.

Nail gun kills everything.

But they’re still not as brutally effective as the humble automobile, for both killing monsters as well as (accidentally) killing yourself.

I found the M249 in a FEMA camp. As for bunker, if you can’t hack and didn’t find ID, you can always blow them up. Pipe bombs are easy to make.

The most batteries i had got in a single life was no more than 5000 and that was not enough to create my car of dreams just because the solar panels are so extremely fragile and just touching a house wall with the side compleately destroyed 6 panels on the side that were behind a frame and all of the panels had steel plating.
And just putting the car together took me so long that i ran out of food and had to go hunt or search for more.[/quote]

You gotta hoard aluminum cans, ammonia and I think copper wire from dissembling flashlights and the sort. There is a lowish level electronics recipe that lets you craft batteries.

Pretty much any metal object will suffice: butter knives and scrap metal work fine for batteries.

Latest death for me was acid rain.

I was being chased by zombie dogs and I hole up in a miscellaneous evac shelter because it had started drizzling acid.
First I had to fight off the zombie dogs, they break a window, attracting nearby wildlife. 2 cougars show up, then some giant spiders, then a pack of wolves, no big deal.

A zombie hulk sneaks up sideways from the window and promptly rips my arm off while shredding my rain coat, I back off a step and throw a molotov in front of him and run, the hulk burns to death trying to chase me over a row of benches.
I barely escape the burning ruin of the evac shelter and run towards the nearest building, my heavily damaged rain coat breaks almost immediately, then I disintegrate in the acid rain about halfway to my destination.

Lesson learned: Take off your rain coat when you get inside.

You can use electrohack and some computer skill (i think 5 was enough) to hack through the doors.

I was addressing your complain that you couldn’t get access when your skill was too low.

My last death was horrible I had an addiction to every legal drug on earth and on top of that I failed at installing bionics so I had electrical discharges every 2 seconds. so I was making my regular booze runs into town well this time it rained acid and hordes of zombies were alerted to the sound of a drunken idiot (me) firing off grenade launcher rounds. So after firing enough arrows to make robin hood go “DAAAMN!!” ,I made it out of town where the acidic drizzle became acid rain, so after getting beaten by hordes of zombies on my way out of town I was attacked by wolves bleeding I finally made to the evac shelter, where the acid rain became rain. Leaving the shelter back to my fully stocked Military bunker I was eaten by a grue, just kidding it was a cougar that ponced on me.

TIL: Never try to do an Elwood Blues style parallel parking action at the gas station.

Pipe bombs doesn’t seem to blow holes in the metal wall , they can even destroy a regular wall.

Jackhammer or cross your fingers and ram it with a truck.

Here’s your solution:

It never occurred to me to stick a big projecting battering ram on a car. I always just rammed stuff with the bumper and hoped for the best. Thanks for the awesome idea!

Seems phallic.

Yeah? I didn’t notice.
[sub][sub][sub]It was intentional, it’s called The Wall Fucker, I’m immature, sorry.[/sub][/sub][/sub]

Positively Freudian.

A pipe bomb will damage the wall, it just takes 3 or 4 of them to get through a metal wall or door.
