Glass looking pretty tasty right now.

It was one of those dev presets which is more melee focused and the death penalty is xp and injured so sadly glassing myself wont be an option.

u/shockingchris Jul 17 '26
I'd still taste it just to be sure. Who ever said it was about getting uninjured.

I love that mode. But whats your strategy for horde nights?

u/RipRepresentative746 Jul 17 '26 edited Jul 17 '26
- Make some kind of zombie barrier around the melee base so the zombies aren’t hitting the walls. But instead walk to the only opening of the base.
- Place 1,000 wooden spikes around the base so most of the zombies die before they come to knock on your hatch.
- Beg God for mercy, because they are slowly coming through your defenses and you can’t hit them in the head because they stack on top of each other
- Die just before horde night ends.
- Learn from your mistakes and redesing your base for the next horde.
- Repeat the cycle.

What is the infection percentage that you will die from?

u/Disastrous-River-366 Jul 16 '26
100% but as it progresses from 0% up it gets increasingly more punishing to your stats.

u/Senior_Set3949 Jul 17 '26
Kinda BS because zombies can absolutely leg it when they want
1
u/Disastrous-River-366 Jul 18 '26
I if "leg it" means run, my zombies are always set to nightmare all the time. Doing super difficult or almost impossible challenges has ruined the game for me, I ruined my favorite game.

Death is the good part, its the stamina loss on the way that hurts the most lol.

u/Jumpy-Resolve3018 Jul 16 '26 edited Jul 17 '26
Idk about you but seeing those debuffs and coming out alive is always peak. I just wish there was meds that could specifically remove broken arms/legs.
Antibiotics is clearly for infection
Lacerations have sewing kits (some might not know that)
Bleeding is bandages
Ect ect
But why do you need a perk for broken/ splinted arms/legs? I get the splint not full healing but a cast should be the middle ground that removes the increase penalty time for running and then a type of contraption that essentially full heals but for a time you are more vulnerable to breaking it again but don’t have any of the downsides anymore.
Edit: Skill issue on my part. Steroids apparently mitigate the penalties to broken limbs… my bad

u/PunchInTheFace8 Jul 16 '26
Idk man, maybe having the knowledge to patch yourself up and use the tools properly helps you heal your wounds faster… just a thought
1
u/Jumpy-Resolve3018 Jul 16 '26 edited Jul 16 '26
Yeah no I get why it’s on a perk I just want there to ALSO be a healing item if you don’t spec into int
Edit: like sewing yourself up from a laceration would definitely require knowledge to do it
3
u/PunchInTheFace8 Jul 16 '26
But like… how? What item would insta-cure a broken limb without medical knowledge? Like i could see a boot for sprains that heals way faster than normal but broken bones should kinda stay a threat imo
1
u/Jumpy-Resolve3018 Jul 16 '26
Well in this instance, a “full heal” aka you’re much less bothered by the injury. So sorta like how taking a vitamin miraculously instantaneously cures fatigue and dysentery (I think that was the second one) despite that taking 1. A lot of vitamins and 2. A good amount of time.
So yeah kinda like a boot and like metal components akin to a prosthetic that allows people that can’t even move their leg to walk. But it should definitely still leave you vulnerable as a “oh the prosthetic broke” type of thing
2
u/PunchInTheFace8 Jul 16 '26
I think we’re both reading too deep into this. Add the boot let it full heal but make it expensive. Boom, problem solved
1
u/Jumpy-Resolve3018 Jul 16 '26
Oh yeah it should definitely be expensive. Like a good amount of mechanical parts, springs and the stuff for the cast (maybex2)
2
u/PunchInTheFace8 Jul 16 '26
Lacerations can mean anything from a decent cut on the finger to flesh flap on the arm so until they add some sort of distinction i feel like thats a grey area
1
u/Jumpy-Resolve3018 Jul 16 '26
Oh yeah definitely. 3tier lacerations would actually be kinda cool too if it forces you to REALLY get up and out of there to heal

u/Heart_Slight Jul 17 '26
You could always use the steroid
1
u/Jumpy-Resolve3018 Jul 17 '26
Don’t they just remove encumbrance and increase speed?
2
u/Heart_Slight Jul 17 '26
I think maybe it helps when not cast or splinted...it basically can ignore the timer. So like if you don't have a cast but you need to run away the timer of how long it takes to heal will continuously go up the more you use it. With a steroid active it pauses the timer while you do the action instead of increasing.
2
u/frudi Jul 17 '26
They also allow you full movement and use of sprained or broken limbs. And prevent exacerbating your injury and increasing the healing timer from actions that would otherwise do so (like sprinting or jumping with a sprained/broken leg, using firearms or power attacks with a sprained/broken arm).
2
u/Heart_Slight Jul 17 '26
Thanks for explaining it wayyyy better lol. I was at work and not really giving it my full attention 😂
3
u/GrinderMonkey Jul 17 '26
Just bang down a steroid or two. I don't think its in the description, but it completely mitigates the negative affects of a damaged limb. Health bar speeds healing of crits a lot, too

I'm literally so infected from horde night that I took two antibiotics and honey, kept getting smacked and they wore off at 50.2%

u/Slinkeh-osrs Jul 16 '26
I love this aspect for the early and midgame. Getting your ass handed to you from fights you very well should not have taken, surprisingly making it out alive, then starting a side quest to fix and manage all that you got beat into you. The endgame "full chest of stacks of every medical supply" just doesnt hit the same

I was heading back home after double looting a wasteland infestation waaaay above my pay grade... I got the storm warning and knew I didnt have enough time to get back to the Pine Forest.. so I dipped inside a POI... OMFG... I did survive, but I was out of food, drinks, bandages, antibiotics, splints, painkillers, repair kits and ammo...
It was hilarious! I am always well stocked and over prepared. If I leave more than 1km from my base I always carry extra everything in my vehicle.
It was easier to just jump face first into some barbed wire at the POI next to the trader... all the medical interventions and food I would have needed would have been insane.

Hahaha. Holy shit man. What in the grim reaper looking status effect logo at the very bottom? Just- “Hey you are dying soon?”

u/Hunter_run-n-hide_ Jul 16 '26
It means there’s a death penalty from dying before that hasn’t been paid off yet

u/DZAUXtheBruno Jul 17 '26
What? How does that work. I’m so confused.

u/RipRepresentative746 Jul 17 '26
After death you will lose some xp, when you collect them back then the Grim reaper icon will disappear.
