  1. Yeah but I mean in real life black bears aren't very big and run at the site of humans. They should have made the bears Grizzlies for slightly superior immersion but even Grizzlies are skiddish if there isn't a food source or cub involved to fight over. Black bears are just over grown racoons. The tree technique seems like a good trick for sure, I've seen it done in someones stream but I tried it and got jumped. Guess its important to get as high as possible.
  2. What about hunting with a snow shelter? Is that a commonly used tool? I used to love snow shelters but was actually attacked by a wolf in a snow shelter once and sort of gave up on them. Maybe it was a glitch? I'd seen them disengage many times before when I ran into my snow shelter.
  3. Hey everyone, I'm looking for tips on hunting. I've killed some deer in the past on interloper and even a Moose and a few wolves but I'm curious what tips you pros would give to up my game. I'll explain my method that I've used to get myself to this point but I would love to hear any thoughts or critiques. Also I'm assuming you want to hunt bear in the same way as I hunted my first Moose but maybe not? 1. Deer: I crouch walk about 10-15 yards from my target deer and stay behind them. When I feel I'm in good position and my target is standing still I rise up take aim and try to land my shot right in the butt of my target deer. It never just falls over for me so I have to track it and typically take a little condition damage trying to get to it for a second shot with the same method. (I'm still not the best shot with a bow) 2. Wolves: If I have a problem wolf near my camp or just want a wolf coat I always allow the wolf to see me and charge me then take my shot just before it pounces on me. If I land my shot the wolf takes off and eventually bleeds to death, If I miss I stab it to death with my knife. 3. Moose: I've only taken down a single Moose in interloper out of sheer necessity to eat. I would take my shot from about 20 yards away and jump in a car or building. I did this three times before the Moose finally succumbed to the multiple wounds it had sustained. 4. Bears: I've only ever killed a bear with a rifle in my one stalker play through that was a little bit too easy for my taste. I notice them rare up on their hind legs before taking a charge at me. Perhaps thats the window I should take to fire my shot? Would a direct shot to the heart drop him? Or should I stick with the same approach I used to drop my first Moose? Thanks for any advice or critiques of my methods. Just trying to improve so I can survive for more than just 100 days on interloper!
  4. Thank you for this very thoughtful response. I am interested in potentially trying to live as long as possible. Up to this point my favorite base has been the office as well. I use the cave in the mountains to the west of it and I enjoy the fishing near by as well. Cabin fever had become my arch nemesis as I entered late game play throughs and I've devoted a lot of my time to avoiding it but I can understand the idea of "working with it" to some degree. I use the outside crafting table in Milton and the forge in Broken Railroad. I just find myself getting hung up in storms for multiple days at a time which has begun to sour my desire to be there. Is living nomadic in TLD a good option? I could see myself developing a rotation of bases that benefit my needs at the time. The hunting and trapping in Mystery Lake is good and the weather in Coastal is good. Perhaps I should rotate between the two... I don't know. Thanks again for the great advice Jeff! I have much to consider as I push for my first year long play thru!
  5. This definitely answers my first question! I was under the impression that my character was becoming malnourished as time went by but the clothing weighing him down and decreasing his sprit stamina makes perfect sense! Thank you for clearing that up for me Staircase!
  6. Hey all! I consider myself an experienced TLD player with 375 hours of almost all interloper game time. I have died ALOT lol but I'm starting to get to the point where I can survive for 2-3 months no problem. I'm trying to do a full year in interloper soon and I have two (most likely basic) questions that I've not found an answer to on my own. 1. Specifically, how do I recover my characters physical endurance and what is draining it? By physical endurance I'm speaking about the sprint endurance wheel that appears in the bottom right while sprinting. I will leave a screen shot of it. Please don't just say "eat more". I have a feeling it has to do with my rationing play style where I only eat my 700 calories at night before I sleep but I don't know that for certain. Any detailed response on what's causing this issue and what action needs to be taken to reverse this issue would be greatly appreciated. 2. This is probably a very easy question to answer. Up to this point I have been using caves and snow shelters to avoid cabin fever. I craft my equipment at outside workbenches as well. My favorite cave has been the one centrally located at the "Mystery Lakes" zone. However I understand beach combing in "costal highway" is advantageous to advanced players and I find the weather there to be generally more pleasant. I simply have not been able to locate a good spot to set up base there. I REALLY want to set up in the fire tower to the north east but I have a feeling that is not considered an outside camp. I know there's fishing huts and a cave south of the fire tower but I don't feel like the fishing huts are very warm and I'm concerned with having to use the ropes everyday to utilize the fire tower cave. I guess my question is "is the fire tower considered an outside camp?" and "does any one have any suggestions on camps in the 'costal highway region'. I understand this has been a lengthy post so I want to thank whoever takes the time to read it the whole way through and formulate a thoughtful response! Your time is appreciated!!
