[quote=“BinaryStar, post:11838, topic:47”]Just had an NPC tell me to “Okay assholethat clear hands up!” then rob me while I stood staring at them in confusion.

Well played, NPC, well played.[/quote]
Oh, god. I was playing on a random gen survivor sometime last week and an NPC came up to me and said the most confusing thing possible. I don’t remeber it exactly but ‘pilgrim’ was used in the sentence and he was apparently red text agressive. But I just couldn’t take him seriously with that line and told him to shove it, then he shot me dead.

Moral of the story, never underestimate a John Wayne impersonator.

For the first time, i killed a Jabberwock without cheating… well, or at least without using a debug menu - still, it was pretty satisfying, even though i had to use my whole stash of nades’ on him.

shotguns and magnums

im a big advocator off shotguns as a valid weapon

I got a Jabberwock Quest on the second day of my current character. Shotgun did pretty well, didn’t come out as dead as I expected I would be. Didn’t actually know it was a jabberwock, first time I encountered one.

shotguns are realy good, shotguns, lasers and bolts its my way of ranged combat

short shotguns (shotgun revolwer or rivtech short shotgun) are realy good as backup weapons because they fit into a holster

I’ll have to keep that in mind. I’ve got Artyoms running, so I tote around an Ithaca 37 I found for that classic shotgun feel, with a Pistol in my holster. Never had a laser gun that I got working. Found a laser rifle once, but didn’t survive to try it out.

11847

lasers in cata are realy powerfull, while thier raw damage is awful but its silent, accurate and fast firing weapon with no recoil, with ups cbm and some cheap bionic power generation (internal furnace or interchangeable metabolism) you do not need to worry about ammo

11848

Finger lazer.

I carry a Frieza finger beam on me at all times.

So, question about fencing… just a guess, but does the stop thrust take movement points? Because I’ve nearly died several times now when I get attacked by several zombies, just sitting there taking hits for MULTIPLE rounds (like several minutes at a time), sometimes sitting in acid, just for bonus points.

Because if so, all of a sudden, fencing just took a MAJOR nosedive off of my “like” list into the trash, or at least into “I KNOW FOR SURE that I’m facing a small number of zombies, so which style I use is really kinda pointless anyway” territory.

11850

i have no idea but with fencing i killed few zombies while butchering another

11851

i would also want o know this but for brawling counterattack technique which seems similiar.

11852

Just had an ohshit moment when my flamethrower I had set to automatic on the blindside of my truck went off in front of me.

Please dont tell me that the thing will only fire on critters I can see as well as it. . .

Autumn, Day 57

I spent the last 2 weeks or so crafting, welding, and making stuff with no intended purpose. First I made my standard superbase. Its a military cargo truck, but with 1 extra width and length added to it. Then I add spikes to the front, 2 fridge units, a few floodlights and headlights, some solar panels, a few turrets, and a chemistry set, welding rig, and forge. I usually get bored before I get around to the kitchen buddy, but I do leave a space for it. Before the purifier was so smll I used that as a placeholder.

Also, yea, I use tanks for water. And this time a gas tank for my flamethrower I lucked into. The flamethrower has not disappointed me, but has been of limited use. Would use again.

Anywho, I saw corrosives coming the last week of summer, but I was out of the city doing the above mentioned things. Little did I know the pain that awaited me when we celebrated the coming of the autumn.

First day of autumn, I found some russian craphead who was better with a sword than a beaker. He had an axe and I let him come into my newly minted “Landmire”. I got around to seeing what I should/could offer him. Turns out I could do a sword and a 9mm glock with a homemade suppressor. I froged the sword and cooked up some acid water. I boiled that down and made some acid bombs. I made some manhacks. I drove to the river and filled my tanks up. I crafted some zombie pheromone. I forged a 9 hour helmet so I could hand him my leather one. He had a cowboy hat on, and Ive been wearing one the whole game, literally since the first night.

This is where the trouble came in. I was so apathetic from all my crafting that I drove up to a mine with a nearby fema camp and did some more. The noises from below drew in crowds.

First a horde of Greenies. Then a few Hungry Zeds. Then, a feral hunter. Then, night fell, and I turned on my aisle lights. Then a Zombie lord revived the hunter and makes him a predator in one swoop. Then he ups a zombie and make him a hollow zombie. I got impaled in the chest area, and so I was bleeding. Steel spears kind of get a shorter end of the evolutionary stick rn, and so I was clearly losing the fight, getting my leather plate armored torso wrecked.

But wait, I think to myself, why am I letting this happen? I have YoY THE WHISPERING NAPKIN OF DOOM \o/

I threw the furry face mask of holding into my trunk and forgot about it, but the whispering napkin I kept on my person. Flicking it gently at the lord, a massive light erupts from the napkin, blinding the zombies in pure awe. Then, I pulled out my automatic M1xxx shotgun and blasted the lord in the face a few times. The predator and hollow are much less dangerous now that their leader gone. They are, in fact, headless in a fashion a little less literally than he is.

Killing them and ignoring the blobs that spawned form the lord, I healed my torso and almost show Alexander the Russian who was sitting at the doorway watching the whole show without taking out his glock or moving to help me. That ass.
I wish NPCs would get out of the car to help you. Or at least do that at a certain level of trust or aggression. I know that NPCs have basic stats that govern their behavior.

When we getting the CIV I ghandi of NPCs?

so, happy autumn, you sick pugs.

somebody has hardcore buffed the books at the library. Im not sure even half of these books or ones of an similar level could be found at my local library.

11855

Did some experiments with the Power Armor. Hulks couldn’t punch through it. Swarms weren’t a major problem - my survivor wandered into a megastore, got thrown around the place by Hulks for a bit but wasn’t getting hurt. The only minor problem was that the necros were rezzing Z as fast as my guy could bayonet them, but as soon as I got a bit of distance the A7 did its usual and cleared the vision radius. Have stood around in acid while fighting Z, this did not do damage. I managed to hurt my survivor a bit by using explosives at point-blank. Also tested hard drive corruption, ended up reinstalling my OS but the save survived.

11856

gg, but you didn’t stand in lava.

11857

Also tfw the grenade bandoleer doesn’t store actual hand grenades but only 40mm grenades :,(

11858

Next lava I see, I’ll give it a go. With 27k power and Repair Nanobots, it probably won’t be lethal.

11859

Pisskop, there’s a Chinese Weapons/History book also…i couldn’t find it in the debug menu to give myself one after i accidentally burned my own copy i found at a mansion.

It also seems to lack a sprite in mshock pack.
