SirSharper Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 I came here wondering if I could use a stim to make a BIG climb, and a reply mentioned stopping on ledges. I immediately tried it. Game changer. (And I'm 250 days into round 2 of survival) my first death was falling from a climb . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hozz1235 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Haha, my Father (who hasn't been playing long) also didn't know about ledges. I recall a time we were talking about TLD and he said, "There are some areas I can't get to because the rope climb is too long". I replied, "Are you using the ledges to rest on?" He said..."<Bleep!>" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just occurred to me yesterday, when climbing back up to the top of Bleak Inlet, that what I needed was to collect some sticks on the way to the rope climb. I climbed up to the ledge. I built a 70 minute fire and made some water. I waited the fire out, resting. Then I finished the climb. Of course then I was immediately set upon by Timberwolves. They regretted that however and now the lone survivor is terrified of me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acada Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I do remember the moment I realized it is possible to rest on ledges. It was real facepalm. But nice one. One of my graves is in Ravine under the rope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my graves is in Ravine under the rope. So many Ravine stories my personally store was climbing to the radio tower At Pleasant Valley. Dropped like a stone, used an emergency stim, a couple bandages some pain meds and made it halfway to the farmhouse and bled out right around where the bear could eat me. wish i could have fired 1 last round into the bear before dying, but my wrists were "sprained" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. S. Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I had played for many hours and had a 300+ day survivor before I realized you could cook at fireplaces. Sure made staying at the mountaineer’s hut a different experience. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booch Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Got about 600 hours in the game and only just realized you can repair the pistol and rifle at the milling machine in the Cannery in the Bleak Inlet. Wasted a lot of cleaning kits prior to this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracia_WolfSlayer Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 500+ hours of game play and I only recently learned you can start fires with a flare.... Like... duh! This revelation has made my latest Interloper run much more successful! My previous record was a lame 6 days now I'm up to 16 days and still truckin'. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musrass Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Did you know that if you accidentially right-click with a torch in your hand you spend a match? – Don't hold unlit torches unless you plan to light it immediately! I guess a lot of people know what I just wrote, but I thought a thread like this could be useful. This is mostly such a friendly community, so I thought it would be nice if we could just give eachother the odd tip here and there (without getting flamed by people saying "everybody knows that!"). Hopefully we can all learn something here. Stay warm and safe everybody! 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotmilkanot Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Instead of clicking repeatedly, you can use your mousewheel to adjust the quantity of items you want to transfer in/out from containers. 10 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierra 117 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 You can repair the bedroll with just your hands , no sewing kit or fishing tackle required. 16 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracia_WolfSlayer Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 You can read and repair clothes outside at night if there is even a little moonlight. If my clothes are good enough I'll go to a car (where there's a bit of warmth and protection)and work there instead of inside in the hours right after dusk. This helps stave off cabin fever. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
