Startin' new, here are my pros and cons

Since new update for 0.8 has been dropped, I couldn't resist but playin' it.

While it is very fun with pretty good loot luck, I want to share my experience so far.

Pros

1. Bunch of new equipment

New additional weapons & clothes are really refreshing and welcoming.

Although the new ones are not 'that' good, it could you help in the early stage of game.

2. Screamer & Grenadier

Let's be honest. In 0.7, zombies were pretty boring to handle. All you had to do was just get on top of a car and go boom boom. No sweat at all.

But Screamer and Grenadier, a welcoming pair of new zombies, do make this game pretty exciting.

Screamer are visually similar as Acidic zombies, their scream launched my heart to the moon.

Grenadier, I only met one of them and noped the fuck out lol.

3. New animation

I love the new, improved animations, especially reloading.

When you reload a shotgun, now you reload the exact amount of bullet you spent.

And even bandits have their own reloading animation too, which is cool AND gives you some time to charge/relocate/or just GTFO etc.

It could be just me misunderstanding, but feels like climbing animation also got smoother.

Cons

1. Visual bugs

While it is not really matter gameplay-wise, you gotta admit it is pretty an eyesore.

The stretched limbs of dead zombies*(screenshot 2, 3, 4)* is still on-going.

But for me, dropped items get stuck in your hand*(screenshot 5)* is what bothers me the most.

When you drop at item, sometimes it stucks to your right hand.

And it doesn't go away whatever you do. I tried to unequip my weapon but did not work.

2. Zombies not dropping anything

Since I started my new run on 0.8, I killed 136 zombies but none, literally NONE of them has dropped ANYTHING.

Sure, they don't usually drop that good of loot, I could've used some pistols.

Shambler, Acidic, Radiated, Screamer, all same.

Yeah, no. I don't think I will ever need another run for SWAT van.

This was my literal second run to the Police Station but jesus.

We need more ammo-consuming guns

For 9mm, 7.62mm, 5.56mm, we have lots of options.

But I think we need more guns for .308 and shotgun shells.

I'm not a gun expert(even though I like guns), I can't name any for .308, but for shotgun, I think AA-12 with drum meg will be nice.

I know we have CR308 and Cerberus for .308 but I want to go full boom boom with no thought in my head.

What gun can be fired full-auto and ammo consuming for .308 and shotgun shells?

What do you guys choose? Looks or Efficiency?

I recently started use low tier weapons because I don't like how the Legendary weapons look except Marksman's Legacy.

Would you guys nerf yourselves to look cool, or go full efficiency?

How stable 0.8 currently is?

*I am aware it is experimental build*

I am watching some playthrough for 0.8, and noticing some bugs.

For example:

  1. Frag grenade don't kill zombies

  2. Zombies limbs are stretching when they die

  3. Fixed vehicles still smoking

  4. Quest marks from Intel laptop don't disappear after clearing quests

Since the playthrough was from 5 months ago, I wonder how stable 0.8 has became now.

The power of the sun, in the palm of my hand

Now I got the All Access Keycard, I can finally sell the lesser ones and make some money.

How do you guys grind?

Since I cleared every POI and Primary Infestations, I am currently grinding for a Rocket Launcher and the Master Keycard.

All I do is find & clear respawned Infestations, go to POI and kill bosses.

Am I doing it right?

Honestly, this isn't too bad of way to die

In a big nice hotel room, watching the whole world going nuts while having a drink.

u/Junior-Weakness-3742 — 2 months ago

Yep, The Coyotes are NOT an official military

I wonder if we would see the actual military in the future as friendly forces.

Does Protection actually matter?

Currently I'm using a Military Heavy Armor with 34% of Protection, but doesn't seem really different with Black/Spec Ops Plate Carrier when I get hit.

Should I go for Protection or storage?

How much health bears have?

I know they have 500.

But when I shot them in the head with my Marksman's Legacy, it deals normally 540 damage.

So bears should be dead in one shot but they never do.

It's always 2 shots minimum.

TBI loots from POIs are really underwhelming

I just cleared out one of the Laboratory 1 and only got 2 Phantasms.

No Laboratory backpack and the Phantasms are way worse than my current Colonel's Revenge.

Yesterday I cleared out the Aurora Observatory as well but got nothing good.

Yes I know I can adjust it in settings but where's the fun in that?

I always get my good loots from random bandits or respawned bosses.
