So...Military outposts, if I manage to take out the turrets outside, will there be turrets inside to blast me to pieces?

Took a looksie, apparently no turrets, whoo, labs are the only thing that'll try to blast you even after you use an ID to get in.

Did you activate the mutation in the mutation list?   [ key.  I was cursing this too when my Night Vision upgraded, apparently new mutations start un-activated and I ran around for a while before I thought to check :p

Yeah that's it. I was confused as to why it was saying I could activate mutations, didn't even realize that you could activate mutations.

Started a new game and saw a prison not far from spawn. Used my car to crash through the fence and front door. Ye gods, why are there so many machine gun toting robots in here?

[Aseaheru]

 Its a prison in the US, thats why.

[ShinQuickMan]

Prisons are not worth the hassle.  Excessive hazards and nothing of value to show for it. After the third hulk or so, I simply not bothered with the place ever again.

[BigD145]

Sounds like a place to skill up.

Prison:  I got some kevlar clothing, a few weapons, I think there were some skilling books in the offices and library, some drugs.  Yeah nothing super-duper special but I am always on the lookout for kevlar.  But agree, I sure wouldn't go in there unless I was pretty tooled up, the nasty stuff can bust out of the cells no problem.

[~Neri]

Labs and military bases are a better Kevlar source I would think.

[IcyTea31]

I usually just go downtown and hunt zombie cops and Z-9s when I need kevlar. I play with 2,5x monster spawns, but I doubt they're too uncommon even on the default setting.

[gimlet]

I don't find that much kevlar in labs except on the few bio-operators/soldiers and even then not that much, I think I've been unlucky with barracks recently.   Military bases sure but I only have 1 military ID and I'm still not sure I'm tooled up enough for the turrets .  Actually fire stations/fireman gear are a pretty good source.  Oh and FEMA camp had a fair amount.

[Tawa]

I usually just take a stroll around the countryside to find military corpses/helicopters. MBR vests are everywhere.

Prisons:
Back when I played on classic zombies, I just lived in prisons because of all the free water. Haven't been to one yet since I started doing normal.
Any tips on doing cold labs? I'm trying to get the Herrera journal, but I haven't found one yet and the only labs I have left to search in get too cold to survive in without wearing a sleeping bag under my clothes the moment I get to the second floor down.

[Aseaheru]

CBMs and mutations may help.

[Tawa]

I never took Robust Genetics, so there's no way I'm risking mutations, and none of my ~37 CBMs can protect me from -25 Fahrenheit temperatures without draining all of my battery. I'm relying on Cranial Flashlight and Implanted Night Vision to see.

[gimlet]

In the past, the electric underwear helped a lot, plus the Internal Climate Control CBM, lots of fur/wool layers, and even then I could only do short runs on the lower levels before needing to run up a couple of floors and warm up.  Oh and only go in summer, it's just completely freakin painful in winter :p

[Aseaheru]

 Tailor kitting everything with wool or fur may also help... Ah... Winter clothing, like the winter survivor suit?
