What's Happening in YOUR Randomly-generated Apocalypse?

never seen eye to atack me when i am not behimd wall i think that falling roof killed you not eye

Just did my first serious quest for an NPC and checked on a scavenger team.

Some horrific lizard monster just exploded into a cloud of darkness, chased down the individual bandits, butchered them, and left.

I don’t think those bandits knew what hit them. (It was a tazer-staff.)

I’ve got to agree with you there. The three things I find the most satisfying in Cataclysm are setting fire to triffid queens, killing zombie hordes, and running over giant ants.

Or skidding your motorcycle from 70 mph and killing a brute. I always imagine I put my foot out and kick his face in like that.

or kill zombies with katana while riding a bike at 48 km/h (its possible but speed is droping heavy

So the NPC refugee center I’ve been helping out for awhile now has run into a small problem, a horde got in.

I tried to save them, but for the most part they’re all dead now.

…Actually felt a twinge of sadness eating the Old Guard rep. Just a smidge.

ON A RELATED NOTE WHO WANTS PIZZA?

I decided to start another survivor in a world with twice as many zombies, it was a good start, had a backpack, a knife spear, a longbow with 40 field-point arrows…then a antlered horror shows up. the end.

Also there seems to be a lag of hell at the slime pit in the town I live near, I don’t know if its due to the thousands of blob globs that are everywhere due to the house fire I cause or what, but its annoying. c’:

So, umm, there was this radioactive anomaly where I got a fractal tube off of about three in-game weeks ago. And I’ve just pass by it again when I saw a bunch of breathers spawning in the anomaly. First time I ever seen whatever the hell these critters are in the game.

Also, rocks were falling intermittently on the breathers, which I thought only happens in falling rock anomalies.

Should I be worried about this? Or is the falling rock thing a normal behaviour of any rubbles being occupied by creatures?

Don’t worry about it…

Day 11 (30-day seasons):

Darryl Huston’s farm looks like a bomb hit it. If you count a hulk and a shocker brute to be ‘bombs’, then that is true. There is a massive pile of chopped up bodies, ripped clothing, and damaged items out my front porch. Holes in non-strategic places of the house gape open. A thick ring of uneven pits, dotted with the broken spikes that were brand new a week ago, and covered with puddles of water caused by the three day thunderstorm that ended only two days ago, protect the front door. Behind the farm, the barbed wire fence has been brutally damaged, and more bodies lie amongst ailing fields. The house is almost stripped from all wood furniture, as the clothing of the zombies was not effective for burning, and so the furniture was needed to provide fire, heat, and boiled water. Wood was so scarce, that it soon became obvious that spiked pits were a poor use of precious wood.

This is the 9th day of the zombie siege. Over 450 zombies have died, but more take their place.

On the 5th day, the western front was pushed back beyond the tree-line of the forest to the west. Once that was done, herbs, and meat, were gathered to subsidize the food from the farm. More importantly, wood was gathered, meaning that the farm’s furniture was now safe.

However, today is an important day in Darryl Huston’s life. After the fifth massive assault from the east, the counterattack today broke through the remaining besieging forces. Darryl can now loot the north part of the neighboring city with impunity, and even access a evac shelter. With a source of scrap metal, all the equipment to begin repairing cars, medicine, and hopefully a cart, Darryl’s life is about to become a lot easier.

Wear a proper suit like a good STALKER and go check it out. Maybe you’ll find something interesting.

YESSS

Stylish Maid is finally having a successful run. Acquired a katana early on, which led me to pretty much decimate everything that came my way. I’m stocking up on CBMs so I can become uber bionic maid once my skills are good enough to reliably install the things.

My French maid clothes exploded recently due to me not paying attention to their durability, but I quickly replaced them with a sundress and got my stylish morale bonus back.

Also, found a boxing dojo and plan to learn an unarmed style if I can. I plan to become a powerful fistfighter and keep the katana in a sheath, only drawing it when it’s time to get serious. :smiley:

It’s now day 2 of winter here. A small god-forsaken town got cold and silent. Broken windows and metal scrap lying around the streets reminds of nearly two months of fierce fighting for survival. In search of the precious ammo. As i enter last unlooted house, lone green zed lunges forward, to get his head blown off by .45 bullet. Now it’s finally over.

Fun fact: all the time playing this character i was always low on firepower because of severe ammo shortage. Had to do some crazy raids to get at least some 9mm, and .45, armed only with a knife. Damn RNG! From that last house basement i looted more than 60 kg of ammo only! And dozens of guns. After i had killed every damn zed around the town using knifes, bombs, cars and hand-to-hand combat mostly.

knife is realy good weapon

i allways carry 4 knifes with me and 2 katana swords (but katana only in my realy old powerfull character)

why are you carrying 2 katanas? are you throwing them?

long time ago before it got realy high mele skills i had to throw them at zombie kids and manhack

now at long looting runs like lab my katana get damaged to smashed state so i switch to other (i repair only at base)

well i carry a soldering iron with me and repair on the run… its less space then carrying another katana.

I carry a soldering iron and a sewing kit always. I have them on lowercase hotkeys for easy access. That way I can repair my weapons, clothing, and damaged loot.

katana do not take any space in my inventory while soldering iron and scrap metal take some
its unefective for me because i am allways running out of volume (i pickup every crap what i find even if its cigarete while i do not smoke)
