r/RoadtoVostokGame

I love this game. Build 2 ramped up the AI skill and the game is genuinely harder, and by extension, more fun. The Outpost bunker shelter is powerful, both for its proximity to the Gunsmith and Vostok. Locking this behind a random encounter that requires you to sprint to a road/crossroad, engage the vehicle, hope it stops, then kill the slightly harder boss mob all while not getting killed by regular spawns and the boss and his adds, feels rickety. Too much luck is involved. The Punisher encounter should require preparation, a great loadout, strategy, and skill. Hell, he should have his own little map. Make it tough to get to. Make it even tougher to complete and escape. It should not be a random event, which becomes less likely as other events are unlocked. It should feel like an achievement, not luck.

I’ve been hoarding a lot of super random stuff as I’ve been playing. Is there a list of items that I should be hanging onto vs what I can use? I know water and beer are two important ones. But I don’t wanna accidentally trade or use something that’s really rare

Returned to check out build 2. Where is this calendar prop? I am trying to check what day of the week it is.

I think the developer fucked the game with the new patch, I've been playing for a solid 3 hours and the only nomad I've seen was dead, the game felt alive yesturday, their was gunfights and now it just feels like it did at launch, plus I've also been getting a glitch where my gun unloads itself mid fight.

Anyone else having these issues?

Anyone kno how many oopsies till they all turn aggro on me?

I love the new update its just gonna change how I veiw moving things.

Hopefully it's in the works with a future update

Nomads rn just feel out of place. They're only two thing in this game that aren't actively trying to kill you, nomads and traders. Traders at least have a believable, self-interested reason for being a non-hostile entity in the zone; they're getting rich by ripping you off. If Nomads are only trying to survive, the same as you, shouldn't they act like someone trying to survive?

Maybe they can run things to a specific container within one of your shelters? You'd have two separate trade windows open; one for the loot the nomads are taking to a shelter and the other for stuff your giving to them as payment. What if nomads specified the stuff they wanted as payment? like X euros worth of food items? Another wants X worth of medical items, another wants food/drinks etc etc.

They could even offer very specific barters. These barters would function almost as an exchange rate. Every nomad could offer a different trade. Ex: You talk with a nomad carrying a mp5 and he tells you that he's low on ammo. He's willing to trade some 7.62x3.9 or 9x19 for 9mm. Another mp5 nomad you run into offers .45 or 9x19 for 9mm. Essentially a small scale ammo exchange. You could even expand that further; Some of them could trade food for drink, meds for valuables. options are endless.

The nomads could even offer a paid fast travel service? You'd pay them to "guide" you to a different map within Area 5? For a huge fee they'd guide you to apartments? You could pay them to follow you in the Vostok area? they'd follow you until they either die or you make it back to Area 05

I'd also love to see Nomads actually hangout around campfires too. IMO they should only patrol if someone recently engaged them or they heard shots somewhat near their camp. When it's quiet they should default to heading back to camp to hangout, kind of like how NPCs in STALKER hangout around a campfire.
