The title is pretty self explanatory. Just wanted to get an idea of how others do it so i can switch up tactics/try new things. Also tell what you are killing and how it fights back/runs away.

A shortbow for hunting rabbits and squirrels. A longbow for pretty much everything.

I’ve started clobbering everything to death with my spiral stone with the help of my horns. Another of my characters had a double barreled shotgun with a rail mounted crossbow. It was great, even if the range for the crossbow was turrable.

Watch out for the headcrabs!

Basically i use anything that may be potentially deadly with some bushes or windows(short range), for long range i use handguns and rifles mostly.

My signiture basicly explains it. (you do need lvl 1 swimming, however)

If the game gets harder (and I have no doubt it will do so in the future) I’ll probably go back to the bow/pistol/blade combo I carried around. But as of right now, I’m finding no hassle in bringing a pistol and a shotgun around with me, as long as I use nerfed ammo.

And yes, I am playing on dynamic. I guess I’m just good at not procing enemies.

I just kill everything with longbows. Only trouble is then I meet Triffids and things, and they beat me terribly. I think even with a gun I’d have problems, as noise/light is enough to have a horde of like 80 on you if you’re trying to go near a Triffid Tower.

As always, don’t forget to light the molotovs before throwing them.
