I guess we both know B Haru's Speedrun with under 22h. As before at Hopeless rescue, right now I cannot believe to beat that time, especially since this is almost 3 years ago, and the game got more difficult in many ways, but who knows, maybe in 2-3 months I can also beat that time (like in Hopeless rescue) However right now I cannot belief that his tactic would work with current version. He is looting whole Desolation Point even wood and sticks. I have to try ones, but still I guess I will return with 50 kg or more

This is exactly my tactic at the moment. It need to be noon to early evening, I run to the Waterfront Cottages where is at least one or two houses to loot, so my warmth bar will fill up, I keep all I found in the second house if it is there, check the dead body for the hatchet and the car at the end for the rifle on the rear seats and run to the basement in the Crumbling Highway. If there is a canister I continue the speedrun no matter is only 1,7L or 4 L. If there is no canister, I abort the run and start from beginning. I would say: 2 of 3 times there is a canister in the basement. Another tactic could be to run first to the mine to check if there is a canister. I only found one more place with a canister and that was in one house of the fishing camp. After I found the canister in the basement and returned to the last house to pick up my depot, I check my weight, if under 25kg I will also visit the Misanthropes Homestead, other ways direct back to Quonset. Now it should be night and cold, so I have time to loot the six houses around Quonset, fatigue should be still fine to do all 6 houses. Then I should also have enough fire stuff which I do not need for the challenge, to cook coffee. After that I am not 100% sure what is the best way, I am still trying different strategies. Something is short at this time: the rifle, ammo or food (oil will no more be a problem) If I haven’t found enough ammo, I should visit the mine anyhow, but in the mine I lose too much time looting everything, to find the 5 ammo you have to go the whole way through it. So right now I am trying to check both islands and the fishing hut in between, here are three possibilities to find the rifle, on my way back to Quonset I try to get at least 3 fishing huts. If I still not find any rifle, I have to go to the Lookout ( I do not like to go there, because besides the rifle and ammo there is no loot and such a long way to go there). Right now I always found the rifle at least here, if not the only possibility is the dead body below the railway which is simply too far away for a record. The evening before yesterday I made a personal new record with 1day 6 h and some minutes, yesterday again over 1day 11h. Funny thing was yesterday I found only baseball caps as headdress, at least 7 or 8 pieces. Below my current tactic. However I think with this tactic I will never get under 24h. I would also like to avoid the mine and the lookout, but it is also hard to hunt with only 2 shots or something like that.

So this is already more then 1 day you can safe. To be honest, I never was in the picnic area before. The hatchet can be at many places, ,in tool boxes, dead body’s outside but also dead bodies in the first floor (on their left hand), they are difficult to see, I only found at some days ago. In the Crumbling Highway basement there can be a canister up to 4 liter of oil! of course most times less but at least 2 liters

The mine is also a must go to for me. Always 5 ammo and plenty of oil, also a lantern is always there and of course I always carry about 5 to 8 coals with me. They weight only 300 Gramm and fire for one hour so most efficient for boiling water or cooking coffee.

yes and then there is the car to Crumbling Highway on the BACK seats. The dead body on the misanthrope island The ice fishing hut between the islands or the dead body under the railway. I guess those are the 6 places for the rifle in this challenge

@NardoLoopa Very interesting run! I finished it now may be 15 times, and aborted a lot more. The nice thing with this challenge is, that it can have many different aspects. Like short on coffee or oil. Sometimes it has already 8-9 days food in the first 6 houses, sometimes even food is short, or ones I did not find one single cooking pot. Same with ammo or clothes or painkillers. With my current tactic I will not get any better, so I am already thinking on new ones. Less looting and may be find the most of the food by hunting. However in my eyes the most difficult is the oil, so I am going to the "Crumbling Highway" to loot the basement (first). Of course no sleeping, so need at least 3 boxes of coffee. After cocking the coffee I always boil some water before I leave to next destination.

I love the story based part of TLD. Since they firstly announced Episode 3 by December 18, I tried to bridge the time till December, trying to finish the challenge Hopeless Rescue without sleeping. After I got this, I tried to be under 24 hours. Now my target is to be under 20 hours. I failed so many times, but I am still sure if all components (weather, cloths, coffee, stims) are perfect, it is possible.

@ThePancakeLady No I never tried. That’s why I wrote: " I was so greenly to believe he really made this boat step by step himself placing the tinders very carefully " People loves different things in this game, so I thought this is a crazy person investing hundreds of hours to do some artwork.

@admin So this picture posted by DearTransfer which you deleted was not made in normal game modus and he used some mods? I was so greenly to believe he really made this boat step by step himself placing the tinders very carefully

Wow is this the loot of all maps? I shall buy all the coffee and the books please!
