Lethal Tips #3: Farming Survivors & Maxing Community Size

Recruit new survivors quickly and easily... they literally come to your door! Also, one of the easiest ways to get your community up to the max size of 12 members.

Thanks bud I needed this, most of my survivors 9 of them are BPS their combination traits are hard as nails and others, but I need a extra survivors for their 5th skills like electricity and construction, and my end game teams are done!😊

I do think rolling for survivors is better in-game than in the starting menu.

The biggest advocate I can have for recruiting from the “Call is Answered” quest is the ability to train all of your survivors with a level 3 lounge the moment you get them. I have a Builder leader in my legacy pool that provides +50% experience rate; when I want to bring in and train more survivors for a challenge run / just for fun, I’ll use that leader and train up every skill on every survivor before I complete the legacy, thanks to the Training Videos command.

If you don’t want to promote a sheriff leader to start this process (since you’ll need them to make a level 3 lounge), then you should select Drucker County as your world and get your community to the Knight’s Family Drive-In. There is an in-built facility that allows you to train your survivors without a Lounge. So if you wanted to make a Multiplayer% community run of strong fighting survivors, ideally Knight’s Family Drive-In with a starting builder leader could have 12 skill-maxed survivors in about 4 hours. In that time you could also loot a lot and get gear for each survivor, and maybe even take advantage of some Mysterious Wandering Traders if you’re playing on a weekend.

Hmm, I can't get past 9 survivors anymore? And I had 11 but I was swapping characters around to fit my talon members.

And can you still get 12? Because it won't let me.

Isn't there anywhere cooler to setup a base than a baseball rink?

Save up a shit tone of influence then use legacy pull to grab a few but you need to suffer thru really bad survivors to get to that point
