How did you last die?

I’m playing characters with 8 in all stats and no traits other than night vision. Decided to add those because too many moose but :frowning:

I thought that if I used the Probability Travel CBM on a military bunker, the turrets wouldn’t be activated.

I have never been so wrong

Tried to do the Lab challenge, just spawned in the middle of a clearing in a forest…while sorrounded by 4 bears…and a mi-go…and a jabberwock…and an antlered horror…should I continue?

Yes, and show/tell us what happens, please.

I make the sling due to it being so easy to take apart into a sheet again. I avoid all possible combat on day one anyway, the sling lets me carry more than the bindle and lets me use the stick to make firestarters or a weapon if i can’t manage a knife for some horrible reason.

As for me, I died because I stepped on a trap laid by a previous character of mine who died in the same world. The pain slowed me enough that the mobs I was attempting to lure into some other traps I DID remember killed me, instead of the trap killing them.

God damnit I am my own worst enemy.

Moose + Glass Jaw

My black belt in heavy power armour decided to try and close a slime pit with RDX charge…
Well that 100 kg+ explosion did pierce heavy powerarmour, how lovely!
Tbh with power armour the game DOES get a bit too easy.

Yeah…

(Still not 100% clear on the shooting system… will have to perform some experiments. It seems you can’t get melee attacked while using ‘aim and shoot’, otherwise the aim counter is reset.)[/quote]

What?

This disturbs me.

EDIT:Anyway, got a stethoscope, a SIG mosquito, 200 rounds of ammo for said SIG, promptly got squished by a smoker and a shocker.

Was raiding science lab, peeked at possible turret location. Found turret, found out that peeking takes an action and found out that turrets can fire behind corners.

If someone punched me whilst I’m on a firing range IRL, I’m pretty sure that’d screw up my aim. In the firing window, you can just press f to shoot-NOW; pressing . (period key) takes one aim action, roughly 10 move-points (100 to the turn) worth. I’m in the habit of using that and f to incrementally lock on and shoot, rather than using the aim-and-shoot keys.

I thought that was already fixed.

Damn it lines of sight.

Michael Jackson, and his back-up dancers schooled me. I’m serous this is a real thing. They hit HARD

Decided that I finally needed to figure out how fire works and spreads in the name of !!SCIENCE!!

Turns out it works pretty well, and that smoke inhalation is a thing.

died from smoke inhalation?
how you didnt caught cold or flu before?
both of these you can avoid wearing a gas mask

-Found a Thriller and some Z-Dancers

-Turned on my Uncanny Dodge CBM

-Walked into the middle of the dance group, killed the thriller

-Uncanny Dodge won’t save you when you’re surrounded by zombie hulks on all sides.

Oh, and another thing. Don’t try to charge science lab turrets with the Uncanny Dodge CBM turned on. You will still get shot to hell.

Every time someone has !!FUN!! with the Thriller it always gives me a bit of a warm feeling in my heart. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

would uncanny doge help you if you got the combat style that gives you infinite doge

No. It works independently.

To be fair, so can you. But yeah until that’s fixed, peeking is completely useless.
