Got a favorite region or one you want added tell here

[Bearimpaler101]

hi I was wondering if anyone else prefers a region I like broken railroad the most because it has LOTS OF CAT TAILS! A forge lots of food most of the Sith locations (some possible[at least in as the dead sleep]) and lots of revolvers seriously the only downside when I want a rifle it's a revolver in the downstairs hunting lodge  if I want a revolver it's a rifle but there both good once I found a revolver in the back of the car at the hunting lodge and one in the basement I've never found a rifle over the mantlepiece just beside the cabinet upstairs

[Leeanda]

My favourite is PV, broken coming in a close second.  PV is so open with some amazing views ,lots of food from the three resident bears and a moose.  And the birch forest area is beautiful . plus a fishing spot and prepper cache too.

[Bimbobjoejr.]

I like PV, simply for the huge storage cabinet in the community center, 440 lbs of storage? Yes please! I think my second up would be MT for the number of buildings there are to loot. Lots of cover around there.

For long term easy living, I really like Coastal Highway for the Quonset hut, with tons of storage, crafting table, fire barrel, nearby wood, reasonably close forge, and wildlife.  The hunting out on the ice is super-easy, and there are plenty  of fishing huts.  Plus the weather isn't as bad as some other regions.

For fun exploration I like Hushed River Valley and Ash Canyon.

Containers don't do ANYTHING it's just as good to put stuff on the ground as to put it in a container so don't just  go to bleak inlet thinking of timberwolves aren't a problem (there not [except in stalker and interloper])

But if your going just for container space it's just as good to go to mystery lake

[UpUpAway95]

Broken Railroad is definitely my favorite forge.  Ash Canyon is probably my favorite zone overall though, followed closely by Timberwolf Mountain.  Since Ash Canyon was added, I've probably spent about 80% of my runs in that NE corner of the map.  The only thing missing from that corner of the map is a regular forge.  I had expected one to be in Blackrock, but it wasn't to be.  Hopefully, they'll put one in Perseverence Mills, which I'm fairly sure is going to be added between HRV and Blackrock because, in Episode One, Grey Mother indicates that Perseverence Mills is north of Milton.

That all said, the only zone I really dislike is Forlorn Muskeg.

Yeah I don't like it much either (but bleak inlet isn't much better)

Bleak Inlet has fishing and the beachcombing at least gives a purpose for going out onto the weak ice.

[Leeanda]

Doesn't anyone like bleak? 🙂 

Sure it's not my favourite place but it's better than some of the others.

The memories of my double moose stomp incident are too fresh.  Interloper moose stomping is no joke 😬

Ouch!  Sorry   to hear you got doubled!   That's gotta hurt!. 

How much damage does it take off on loper?  My last one on pilgrim took half my life off. Thought they were pretty much the same?

I think they are the same damage-wise, but it's the reduction in mobility / stamina / carrying capacity and the treatment requirements that really hurts you.  If you end up unable to climb, disabled, and stumbling around in a -40C blizzard trying to find lots of rose hips things can go south in a hurry.

 

edit: and with a double stomp, the affliction lasts 168 hours (seven days)

edit edit: Bleak inlet is perfect moose stomping territory because there's a pack of timberwolves that can easily drive you into the waiting hooves of the resident moose.  Hey, at least the moose scares off the timberwolves 😄

Lol! Not much of a consolation  though!  

Just realised that's the second daft question I've asked today!   Not enough sleep or old age I wonder!😁

Daft?  Hardly.  We're just talking about a game we both love.

Thanks and too true! But  I'm still daft! 😁

[Bearimpaler101]

Lol the one time I've one shot a moose was in bleak inlet  though I had a rifle and I was on the most easy custom ever (apart from no passive wildlife) and I had bears off witch in tearing my self up for I have moose cloak though

[Catlover]

I'm glad to see other PV lovers. It's a great region

I do like BR too, mostly because of the lodge there that I usually have as a base in late game, and the nearby forge and moose. Plenty of food in close range 😁

[Bearimpaler101]

I've never seen a moose there only rubbing and it never came even after 12 days in the maintenance shed

There are a couple of things you can try when you have moose rubbings but no moose.

1) It sounds silly, but spin around in a circle a few times (This is a trick I recently learned from a very experienced streamer - TheWonzandOnly.  I tried it and, for whatever reason, it does sometimes work.)

2) Leave the region to an adjacent region and come back.

3) In BR, it sometimes helps to kill the bear.  This often triggers the moose to spawn, particularly if your rubbings are near the bridge rather than by the Hunting Lodge.

Wonz is sus

[Matt Lomax]

Great question. I'm conflicted. So difficult to choose a specific region when they all have such unique identities. PV always feels like returning home, especially after spending so much time cramming the farmhouse drawers and cupboards with as much junk as I can find. Coastal Highway is also one of my favourites, love the fishing huts, surrounding woodland and Jackrabbit Island etc. Bliss.

Then don't try the first one.  The other two have worked for me for a few years now.

Your moose... your problem.

No it's just a funny thing us  @Zaknafein  Fans like to say

Thanks ! Might just try them tomorrow 😁

You're welcome.  I'm also beginning to think the rubbings may be somewhat meaningless right now.  I started yet another test run in Ash Canyon... no rubbings, but definitely a moose present (no stomping this time).  This moose is the one that can spawn near Bitter Marsh, but the usual markings for it are no where around.  In short, I wouldn't totally count out any of those locations where you didn't see rubbings.
