Video idea: what weapons can kill 100 zombies the quickest with the fewest resources (stamina, bullet.ammo) and with the least damage taken.

[robhayes]

Honorable Mention: Putting 1 point into lockpicks day one will give you higher rates for Forge Ahead books without putting points into engineering. Plus, instant lockpick recipe and better lockpicking chance.

[jaxsonbateman]

Parkour is just great. So many safe spots in open areas become available when you can jump that high. Watched a vid from JaWoodle not too long ago where his horde base basically failed and he was running around his base-POI, jumping up on top of a ~3 block wall as needed, and that basically got him through the whole horde night.

[AnotherWun]

I don't see anyone talking about spec'ing into Electrocutioner stun batons are by far the most over powered weapon in the game especially with the repulser mod. You can do tier 5 and 6 without worrying about running out of ammo and hold a door on horde nights pretty much by yourself depending on latency.

[larrychurchill]

Deep Cuts with a Machette (or knife) is absolutely awesome. (plus the mod that gives bleeding dmg is a bonus)

[MoonDog]

The thing I hate about parkour is that if there is a low hanging roof you can't jump without hitting your head. Sure you can crouch jump but there have been so many tines I couldn't get into angled attics without having to destroy the roof it's annoying.

[Ghostface]

I prefer the 4x4 over the gyrocopter, there I said it.

1. Parkour
2. The Penetrator
3. Miner 69'er
4. Run and Gun
5. Physician
For some builds, Healing Factor and Hidden Strike are also great.

Since the traders don’t sell tier 6 weapons, armors and tools regardless on your Daring Adventurer level it’s ultimately a waste unless you want the double quest reward.

Even with 3 points in Daring Adventurer you can outpace the quality of equipment they sell by focusing on the quality you can craft.

Since there are things you’ll need to craft anyway it’s impossible to avoid crafting without limiting your progress. And maybe it’s just me but when I do want to buy a specific item that’s when the traders decide not to stock it through multiple restocks.

Parkour level 4 is a blessing and curse. It’s saved my life plenty of times but it can cost your life just as easily. Outside you can bounce around and cheese the game. Inside it can prevent you from jumping out a window or something as you hit your head on the window and bounce back in. Sometimes just navigating a POI with Parkour 4 becomes a test of your patience.

I feel the FunPimps need to add key press time into the jump mechanic. Quick tap of the jump key for a small jump and normal press of the jump key for high jump.

[commonsense-oggz]

i am not sure why people wouldn't want intellect. the biggest bulk of important books are unlocked with it. vehicles books, trap books, advanced engineering books, not to mention the bartering aspect is extremely important.

[vohrtechs]

I'm not sure if I agree on taking Daring Adventurer that early, since most newer players are not going to have the money to buy iron tools at that stage, but the rest of these are very solid picks. To be clear I'm not saying DA is a bad pick, I just don't go for it that early myself.

Regarding miner 69er and busting thru blocks, always take a look around strong blocks to see if weaker ones are around it. There's no reason to break thru a 10k vault door if the blocks around it are only 1200. It's also to your advantage to break out the block at head height, and the one above it. This means if you go in and there is a group of zombies, you can jump back out and eliminate them at the bottleneck as they try to jump up on to the block to get out. (I hope that makes sense)

[slab-ddvj]

all good skills, I did not know that the daring adventurer skill could be so good at the beginning like that. I usually take a point or 3 when I'm around level 20-30 to get those better items. I will have to try taking a point in the first week of my next playthrough

[raze]

Earned my like and sub for this video solely because of the breakdown on the traders. This info is PRICELESS for starting out. Being able to get to iron or steel tools faster is huge early game. Only downside is you need a duke making system to be able to afford the items, but that’s not hard to do, legit or cheese tactics can make that happen in only a few days in game.

[SABbrew]

I always default to parkour master since i love having jump height as a crutch.

[ndl]

Miner 69'er has busted my POIs on more than one occasion now: What I mean to say is, on at least two occasions on Level 4 and 5 POIs I have broken through a wall on a "clear" mission that I was more than likely not supposed to, and this caused the last zombie (or the area) to bug and searching everywhere where the orange dot appears I wasn't able to find the last Z.

[moonraven]

Daring Adventurer: not worth it. No use for buying stuff early with coin you will not have.

Parkour: Agreed

Miner: Not worth it. Putting points here will ruin your progression. There are so many lootables where Tool Mags can appear in, you will find nothing but tool mags for a long time. Slowing down ll other progression.

Physician: Good Perk if you can spare the points.

[ReallyLongBreadstick]

Remember physicians passive healing pulls from your hunger bar. This can really hurt you early game when you are struggling with food

[DakonsMadhouse]

I love your videos. So thorough and detailed. I really like seeing the code. Its very helpful.

[nephalemd]

I like "one point wonders" I like them in Diablo 2 and now they are in 7DtD 🙂

[DukeofJukes]

I just maxed looter and adventurer cuz ima grubby little loot goblin
