but I kinda hate people on watchtower duty using their .22 or revolver when they should be using a rifle or something. Not that a watchtower really is that useful most of the time anyway.

DONT DO IT posted:Everyone needs to experience forgetting to unequip a grenade launcher at least once. I started a new game the other day and got some army guy in my group and he goes up into the watchtower at the church and I hear *fwoomp KBOOM fwoomp KBOOM fwoomp KBOOM* as all these white dots light up all over the map. Do survivors have infinite ammo or are they actually limited to their inventory? e: Mister Adequate posted:She and Lyanna Carter are two of my favorite heroes and almost always my most badass ones.

I had my first major massacre last night. I'm on Breakdown level 5, and holed up at the church with six survivors that I've been maxing out and treat as my "core" group. I get an Enclave mission to take down a feral, with one of the search points just behind the church. No problem, I think, and as I'm heading out there, I get a prompt saying that a horde is inbound to my base. The closest horde is actually by the feral search point, so I figure I'll use my other enclave buddy as backup while we take down the horde together. Big mistake. The first horde wasn't a problem, but the dozens of additional zombies that occupy the graveyard at night quickly became a huge issue. We were quickly overwhelmed, and I was forced to run back to the church as my enclave partner got torn to pieces by at least 15 zombies. I arrive to find two hordes attacking my base and three more coming down the road, with all of the other zombies starting to follow me from the graveyard. Things got really ugly- at one point, I had to fight a horde INSIDE of the church itself, and listened as Ray Santos, who I'd basically kept as a taxi dispatcher on base and only took out on the safest missions, got torn to pieces. Then, my paramedic medical adviser got killed on the porch, followed shortly by Amelia, who got torn in half right in front of me by the feral I'd been sent to kill. After I finished off the feral, my main character was critically wounded, so I switched to another survivor with good stats and managed to burn/fight off the remaining three hordes that came in. By the end of it, I'd lost four people- my enclave partner, Ray, Amelia, and my paramedic. Now, my remaining survivors are getting sick, and without having a medical adviser to staff my infirmary, I dunno if they'll recover. It sucked and it's put the rest of my game in jeopardy, but it was a really crazy high tension moment unlike anything else I'd experienced so far. The jump in difficulty from 4 to 5 is something else- on level 4, I was able to have full outpost coverage within an hour of starting the round, but on 5, there's so few resources in houses that it took me a few days to get two outposts up and running.

suboptimal posted:Big mistake. I had to set my level 6 game aside because I lost another couple of survivors I was hoping to pick up when just about every manner of superzed mobbed us near that graveyard. Hoping to at least get to 7 so I can unlock the mod-added grandma. Also holy crap I just found out today you can turn on the police car's lights and sirens with Ctrl. Teasing zombies as I drive away is so much more fun this way.

Yeah, I lost my "main" guy who I started out Level 1 with, so I've decided my game is hosed. I've decided that I'm going to expel the remaining members of my community, equip my last favorite member with a grenade launcher and an LMG, and send him out to take as many zombies with him as possible. My last act in this game will be to pull the pin on a grenade right as he goes down for the final time. For my next Breakdown game, I'm going to spend as much time on Level 1/2 building all the whistle box mines, flame fougasse, incendiaries and silencers as I can just so I can stockpile them for later levels. Also, has anyone come up with a mod that lets you leave Lily behind and put someone ELSE on the radio?

There's this, Nag No More on the Nexus, that I use. It changes a lot of Lily's replies and "You're almost home" lines to either silence or a female zombie grunt, so she's still around but probably less than half as much as normal. I just pretend she has Zombie Tourettes.

How do you do the dying grenade pin pull? I had a guy dying with a thermite in his hand and it didn't go off. I kept trying to hit the throw button.

Ugghhh my worst deaths are when I've got a companion and we pick up a survivor and so I think I'm rolling deep enough to wade into zombie-heavy resource zones on the trip home. Lost three people in Lifeline like that last night. I feel like there's a lesson there about greed, or at least about not bringing enough molotovs. ---- I've jumped around the thread catching up a little so I may have missed it, but have we talked about all the zombie pop culture references in the game? The little "Vote Richard Grimes for Sheriff" and "Nick and Simon's Landscaping" yard signs? and then there's this:  Plants vs. Zombies

So if I picked this up in the summer sale and wanted to playing it, should I start with the story mode, or jump straight into the RV survival mode (Which I've heard is much better)? I didn't get the military mode DLC.

It's worth starting with the story mode just to be instructed about the mechanics of the game and figuring out ow to play in a relatively forgiving mode. However, if you enjoy being put right into trouble with no explanation about anything, breakdown will do that. The first hour or so of a new breakdown game is pretty hectic, and I imagine for someone totally unfamiliar with the game will be entertainingly confusing.

Story mode is kinda neat and worth going through on its own merits, as you can make a few choices here and there that may not be monumental but still feel neat. Best to do it first, since it IS a lot easier than breakdown/lifeline.

Lifeline is pretty loving tough, I've started a new game three or four times by now because I feel lovely when I get a bunch of dudes killed at once. Or call in an artillery strike too close to where I park all my cars. I like the map a lot though, wish there was a reason/leisure time given to walk around and take it all in instead of driving furiously past everything. Meanwhhile in my latest Breakdown game: you have got to be shittin' me.  Good thing I've got an assload of steel pipe bombs, aka Zom-B-Gone.

I didn't get the military mode DLC. Story mode gives you plenty of leeway to mess around a little bit and explore the game mechanics. Once you get a couple guys skilled up its rare that you get yourself in danger unintentionally. I've just started playing Lifeline and it's been a pretty substantial transition. Things goes sideways very quickly and I find myself in "poo poo is hosed time to get out" mode way more often than in Story mode. Basically the DLC's have different play-style and require pretty different tactics, with Story mode being slower paced and therefore easiest to learn.

Breakout 1 was as simple as I expected. Finished the research and most of the tougher challenges that I don't want to take over. What exactly should I get done before hopping on the RV to level 2, and so forth? Do I need to hoard anything? Finish leveling everything on characters I want to keep to level 7?

Sober, you can take with you to level 2 all the stuff in your storage locker, and none of the whole-unit supply stuff. If you want more bullets or anything for later, might as well check the map's couple of likely spots. Make sure to take anything out of the backpacks of the folks you're leaving behind and put that in your locker. Also you probably have a ton of influence right now, that's best used taking all the junky guns and weapons you don't want out of your storage and destroying them. Your storage locker has a limit on items it can hold, so using extra influence before progressing levels is a good way to clear out space.
