Always have a ranged weapon as well for sticky situations. I guess as a ninja it's a bit easier I tend to shuriken bees or once you get a level 2 ninja their phantom sword dash makes short work out of all the skinny husks

oh. i mean when he said name. i thought he was talking about my storm base name. yeah i already switched my actual account name when the game launched.
I like it that way, each defense gives you mini-llamas.
Hey GAF. I just got started with this, and I'm a little confused. So I got the Hero pack. But then when opening a Llama I realized there was an "epic" version of one of the heroes. Now I'm wondering, why should we bother upgrading our basic Hero card, if there exists a rare or better version of them? Does all the upgrades in the Skill tree carry over if say, I get a Rare card later down the line of my Hero?
If you Retire a hero, you get back 90% of its total XP. So you technically invest little when upgrading heroes unless you evolve them, as you don't get back any Pure Drops of Rain or any other materials consumed for evolution.

Really? I mean, ammo has been an after thought for me. Every once in a while I focus a bit on nuts and bolts but mostly because my traps eat about 11 per piece.
Maybe I should upgrade my traps

I got this schematic early on and even though I've gotten a few others one since I always go back to it. My stat bonuses are a little different though. I got 10% damage, fire rate bonus, another fire rate bonus, crit damage, and then my last one once I evolve again is another damage modifier. At first I was kinda ticked at getting two fire rate bonuses on a burst fire weapon cause the actual burst were pretty quick already. But i found it actually reduces the time inbetween burst so it's essentially a full auto now if I hold down the trigger, but yea the 15 round clip kinda sucks. But like you said, it melts everything.

Destroy all cars and appliances and you'll have 5 stacks of 99 in your inventory in no time! Also keep a decent melee weapon schematic upgraded. It's nice for when you drop into a cave and have a handful of husks or come across an encampment will save you a ton of bullets in the long run.
Yup, I should destroy more cars and explore more caves
I'm power rank 20 but the game won't get easier

In addition to what Wallach said about retiring them, you can put heroes along with their XP into your collection book.
Hero/item XP counts toward the collection book level. You can add it after the fact as well.

Now I've got a legendary AR, sniper, pistol and wall dart. These llama must love me!
Has anyone dabbled in mixing up their survivors? I had a buddy of mine tell me that personality matches are more important than job matches, but I'm not sure that's true.
After going back through my squads, to match up whatever personalities that I could, each of the FORT attributes went up 2-5 points, but several of my bonuses (5% health and 5% base damage) disappeared.
So now I'm still not sure which method is better. Anyone have any insight?

I haven't found personality matches to be very important, but I'm not sure if there's a big bonus at 7/7.
The bump to each individual survivor seems small and never enough to choose it over a card that naturally has a higher rating or matches the bonus you're targeting.

If you don't have a job match, then match personalities.

It should say early access
Yeah, it's a really solid gun. I got in a the special weapon llama a couple days back with a legendary Triple Tap sniper. Needless to say the sniper is conpletely useless compared to this gun.
Really want to get my hand on a legendary explosive weapon now.

What time is it?
A quick tour of my overbuilt base:

About 1900 available placements left.

Are Weapon Schematics consumed upon use like traps are?
I quit using ARs and my ammo worries went away...I have like 1600 Sniper bullets and 1000 slugs at all times, lol.

No. Schematics last until you recycle them, transform them or put them in your collection book.

Use the computer in your base.

In the base computer hit L1 and R1 to cycle between the two tabs.
Yeah that's what I mean. It won't let me interactions with it at all

Try leaving and then coming back. The instance might be bugged?

AR's can be pretty costly. I got pretty lucky and got a decent one that fires in bursts, hits like a truck and has 20% reduced degredation but even then I can burn through a good supply in a few missions easily. I find the Magnum-like handgun is also a great way to conserve bullets too though and damage goes pretty high. Swords might be the best solution but it's a risky move unless you go ninja.

thanks does that apply to traps too?

Trap schematics, yes. The traps themselves allow one placement and have a limited number of uses.
I don't think the Pro patch is out yet, I only have a regular console so I can't answer that.
There are Founder schematics that you can get now, that won't be available late, not sure what other bonuses for Early Access.
You can play with Randoms, it will be needed for higher levels unless you have enough friends to help you. A mic isn't necessary, there's the in game text chat if you need something.
On console it's down on the D-Pad, not sure about PC though.
Man, just wasted so many resources/ammo on a double ATLAS mission. The storm was all coming from one direction, all we had to do was stay in that area and slay, but the randoms were all spread out doing who knows what. Then one leaves and another guy just AFKs inside the ATLAS room, ugh.

Thanks. Plugged in my Xbox controller and it worked fine.
Looks like we don't have a keybind for this on PC?

I think that's one of the things they got right. By keeping the combat free of reinforcing the constant lootwatch, it's easier to focus on accuracy and situational awareness rather than picking up random shit up in the middle of it all. The objective should take priority over just killing and collecting, but things should also be much better with the predetermined rewards for completing bounties/missions.
