without joking, the glowing fonts would work well with some specific monster or radiation stuff

Strike through would be a hilarious way to represent monster corpses

[Aseaheru]

 When did we get a new thread fer this?

 Huh. Anyways...

 Mod shilling time I guess?

 Like bayonets? Want them to make more sense on rifles, shotguns, and other things-larger-than-pistols? Well then, SWPB has what you need! Stab your foes knowing that your muzzle, yes muzzle mounted bayonet works just as it did in your pappys time! Download today!


 Play around on the B12 forums? You ever see the various arms race games? Add guns from some* to your CDDA experience with Cannalan Importers! And Link

_{*May or may not contain only one proper firearm, and that from a spacebattles arms race that interacted with a B12 arms race. May popentally include more guns in future, depending on if AseaHeru can get off his fat ass and think about adding one that A) makes sense and B) wouldn't be the SSR, AKA the elephant rifle if it had a 5 round magazine and whats basically sabot ammunition, because thats a thing that was in an arms race game}

saw the pull requests yesterday, the aftershock revamp seems interesting. i guess it will become of the go to for those wanting to get more cybernetic/mutation stuff.

[Erk]

That's definitely the intent. It's given us freedom to remove a lot of stuff we didn't want in mainline while keeping it part of the game.

...Stab your foes knowing that your muzzle, yes muzzle mounted bayonet works just as it did in your pappys time!...

Am I the only only who imagined a gun where a muzzle mounted bayonet was actually sticking out the end of the gun's muzzle and would be launched off as a deadly projectile with the bullet when the gun is fired?

Underbarrel mounted crossbow when

[scriver]

I think it would be cooler if the crossbow was overbarrel

[forsaken1111]

What about a crossbow with an underbarrel mounted single-shot shotgun for emergencies

Don't do the single-shot, go for the master key.

So...uh...can someone explain how to kill a zombie withou getting...you know, completely destroyed? I think no-hit is basically impossible, so how do you heal afterwards?

Also what does creating a zombie slave do other than utterly and completely fucking up your morale?

Also also how does sealed stomaches work exactly?

[Robsoie]

In early game, (at least in the past as i have no idea what nerfs/changes this could have been through) , a good zombie destruction tactic was to not "fairplay" at all

The fire method :
- get a way to make a fire (by example lighters that weren't very uncommon to find)
- set fire to a bush/shrub
- attract a zombie in it
the bush/shrub will have the zombie slowed and so open to a few attacks without being able to retaliate, and the time spent in the burning shrub/bush will add damage .

After a couple of hits if the zombie isn't dead yet, move to another shrub/bush and set it in fire, then attract the damaged zombie in it again.

The rock method :
Another way without fire in early game was to roam around and collect rocks (and have your character some throwing to help)
Then try to attract a zombie and start throwing rocks to him , if it's not dead when you run out of rocks, run away and attract the zombie a bit away, then move back (obviously avoiding contact with the guy following you) to recollect the rocks and throw them again until the thing is dead.
You can also use shrubs to get the zombies slowing down, for easier rock throwing.

Of course pulp them once they're down.

I've found fire to be effective. Zombies just walk into whatever trap you set so it's pretty easy to kite them into a bonfire.

[ZeroGravitas]

I used to use windows, because it would give me so many turns to whack them while the zombie climbed in.

Obviously, what we need is an assault rifle with an overbarrel crossbow and an underbarrel mounted single-shot shotgun.

Bayonets mounted to the sides and spikes on the butt are optional, as is the detachable dynamite stick strapped to the magazine.

I have no clue about the nerfs to fires these days, but theyre a top tool to save your skin.  Ideally though, you want to also level up melee asap so as to not need the fires, since ammo explodes.

Use a weapon that has the block skill, kite zeds over tables, chairs, windows, etc, and keep you encumbrance as low as possible.

Avoid night traveling when youre new and/or underequipped, and use smell-deleting items, like fire.  Fire and smoke also destroy smell, albeit fire makes light.  I close windows and doors and force zeds to waste time busting them down.  I set houses on fire and let zeds path into them to clear areas.  I dont engage any nonstandard zeds early on unless I have to.  I use throwing weapons or silent arms early on.  A sling can soften up single targets and works really well on squirrels and whatnot for easy food.

The blocking weapon though is about my number on tip.  Get a 2x4 or a pipe and engage with that.  Drop extra encumbrance when possible.  Use shopping carts.
