So you'll take the high road And I'll take the low road And I'll be in Scotland before ye

Here, have a couple additional ideas, too. Prepper's Rifle An all-black rifle with a custom scope. Looks like it was intended to be used on small game. Clunky, but you probably won't find a faster fire rate anywhere else. It's a plinking rifle. 10 rounds of revolver ammo, a short scope, and a black paintjob. Heavy, awkward, and fragile, yet fast-firing and accurate. Found in one of the two blinds in Forlorn Muskeg. Veteran's Rifle A genuine Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mark 1 rifle that may have actually seen the trenches of World War 1. Some say the original owner still haunts the rifle, but that can't be true. Ghosts aren't real... right? An ordinary-looking Rifle with a sling and notches in the stock. Grants considerable aim assist and extends the scope-in timer. Found on the rifle rack in the Hunting Lodge in Broken Railroad. Sydney's Revolver A heavily customized revolver, which was once carried by an eccentric detective. Its simplistic exterior and grip hides a well-oiled interior and a high-quality barrel. Comes with a speedloader, as he always carried it empty- not wanting to risk his career with a hasty shot. A revolver that's slightly heavier than normal, but degrades less per shot and reloads with a speedloader- dumping all rounds onto the ground, spent or not, and loading in a fresh six bullets. The black fiberglass grip is accentuated with grey speed tape, and the main body is an unusual chrome color. Found in the lone car on the highway to Forsaken Airfield. Enthusiast's Revolver This monster of a revolver reasonably belongs in a display case. Be careful that you don't bruise your shoulder when firing it, as it doesn't come with a stock to absorb the recoil. A 5 round revolver that takes rifle bullets. Horrendous recoil (may even cause you some Pain as it nearly dislocates your shoulder), but light and quick. Not that you're likely to hit any shots with it, of course. Found in a travel case in the Pleasant Valley crash site. Hunter's Pistol An outdated break-action single shot pistol, chambered in .303 and clearly used for hunting. Has a custom grip designed to absorb the recoil of the large cartridge used. Technically a Flare Gun variant, chambered in rifle bullets. The lightest """rifle""" alternative, but can only hold one round in its magazine. Inspired by the Thompson Center Contender. Found at the Mysterious Signal Fire in HRV.

Finally, something useful for Darkwalker runs so I don't have to spend half the game mending/reading in a carseat.

Aurora borealis? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized ENTIRELY within your kitchen?! In all seriousness, though, this would be amazing. As long as the coffee machines turn on, too. Would be pretty cool to see an espresso that could only be made using a coffee machine, which would be stronger than the "coffee" made by sprinkling some coffee beans in a pot. Give me my caffeine, Hinterland. I think some of them have solar panels. Might just be buried under the snow. Ooh, like a side story set from Jace's point of view! I like that idea!

Duct tape. Originally developed for military purposes in 1943, the simple adhesive quickly became a staple of any handyman's tool kit. It's even been to the moon and back. (Literally. The crew of Apollo 17 brought some with them.) Surely there's at least one handyman who needs a quick-fix for one of the thousand air ducts on Great Bear. Plus, you can clearly see a few duct tape patches on some of the damaged clothing items, most notably the Light Shell and Windbreaker. So why can't you find any? The concept behind this is simple. You would find rolls of duct tape in Industrial locations- most notably Carter Hydro Dam- and the construction sites in Milton. It would lose maybe 5% durability for each action, and could be used for: Patching holes in your clothing. Repairs less than a sewing kit, but does it faster. Patching holes in your tools, in a similar manner to clothes. It's not the greatest fix, but it'll hold, and it can be done when you need it most. Patching holes in you. Yes, that's right. While not exactly advised by your doctor, duct tape can be used to close wounds quickly. Not designed as a permanent fix (in fact, it wasn't designed for this at all) but could reasonably serve the purpose if need-be. Duct Tape can only be used to Patch two wounds: Burns and Blood Loss. Patching a burn with Duct Tape will give an extra stack of Pain, but close the wound quickly. Patching a bleeding wound with Duct Tape has a chance of additional infection risk, but- again- seals it quicker than a normal Bandage.

I just prefer Astrid because Will's damage grunts are way louder and his voice lines sound less realistic. Sorta like the Nate vs Nora debate in Fallout 4. She's quieter, has more realistic responses to circumstances (especially the Darkwalker), and is generally more relatable. Also, she looks more like the Human version of me, so there's that.

Reposting this story here because it's funny as hell. From the "Emergency Stim" section of The Long Dark's wiki. Originally by AKDragonfly, all credit goes to him. Slept on these for years. 100+ hours of gameplay and I only used 1 in a last ditch effort to save my azz after I fell through the ice. I didn't make it, and wrote them off as useless. That is until I took a run at the first Old Bear challenge last year. I was ALMOST at the end - the railroad line - the very last leg before the Trapper's Homestead, but I could hear it behind me. The guttural, primal Mongolian throat singing of Death's beloved pet hellbeast. The animated remains of the illegitimate lovechild Zach Galifianakis would birth after he made sweet love to a giant, prehistoric ground sloth. The rancid breath spewing from the maw of a Super-Sized Zowie from Pet Sematary 2 accompanied a gargled Perish Song for an audience of one. I stared into the abyss and it stared back. I knew he'd have my liver for dessert if he caught me (assuming he had room for dessert after he'd consumed my soul). I was clawing through my inventory for a Hail Mary at the speed of f!ck when I saw this thing. This pointless little paperweight I'd looted from a prior victim. I shrugged, having long since abandoned the idea of greeting Daddy Death with my dignity intact. At the behest of my primordial lizard brain who struggles to separate fantasy from fact whilst tits deep in "OH SH!T" panic juice, I hit 'em with the ole reliable: "F!ck it." Adrenaline. My. Azz. That shit was laced with more controlled substances than Robert Downey Jr.'s bloodstream pre-Burger King. I pushed that f!ckin' plunger down and I swear I saw the face of whatever Eldritch being sits upon the usurped and blackened throne of heaven. It was like ordering the sample platter at a St. Louis Applebee's, except the whole payload hits you at one time, and the corpse you took it off of was already dead when you got there. We're talking HGH, PCP, MDMA, the same concoction of concentrated Speed they give to f!ckin' fighter pilots, more caffeine than the average college student consumes in a year, and a shot of Bruce Banner's Incredible Gama-roids™ for good measure. I sprinted practically bear-azz nekkid (get it I'm hilarious) all the way to the Trapper's cabin like there was a lifetime supply of Taco Bell nacho fries calling my full legal name. When I reached the doorstep, I turned to face my thwarted Undertaker, vibrating at a speed that threatened to forcibly remove me from the visible spectrum. We stared at each other - the hunted prey and the apex predator - and I waited for that sweet, sweet rush of endorphins to bathe me in the thrill of victory. But when my dime-sized pupils met the cruel, merciless, black gaze of a beast older than God himself, the rage and hatred melted away... And all I saw was myself.

Me, with Revolver Firearm level 5: No querrás ver mi mano donde está mi cadera.

What would happen if you sprained both ankles? Because I have that happen a lot more regularly than just the one.

Here's my 10 cents. LEPER'S SOLACE - You are constantly losing 0.5% condition per hour. (Obtained by surviving with Blood Loss for 24 hours.) SPOTTER'S NIGHTMARE - The fog follows you, even outside of the Far Territory. (Obtained by spending 12 hours total in the Glimmer Fog.) BLOOD-SOAKED SHROUD - Injuries are more debilitating and require occasional re-treatment. (Obtained by treating 100 injuries total.) HYPERALGESIA - You suffer from a permanent, incurable Pain status affliction. (Obtained by being awake and in Pain for 6 hours total.) TRAUMATIC STRESS - Due to a stressful situation in your past, you are incapable of Struggling against Wolves. (Obtained by losing a Wolf struggle 3 times in a single life.) DARKWALKER INSTINCTS - You suffer from a permanent, incurable Insomnia status affliction. (Obtained by surviving against the Darkwalker for a full 3 days total.) PACIFISM - Your hands shake while aiming a weapon, and you start below Level 1 for each weapon stat. (Obtained by completing the Pacifist achievement.) SCHIZOPHRENIA - You will occasionally hear and see things that are not there, and may occasionally become Anxious. (Obtained by getting the Cabin Fever affliction 3 times in a single life.)

Not that you have any choice, as the devs mute you for 6 hours if you so much as swear. Learned that one the hard way... You're splitting hairs here. This game takes place in the early 2000s, when drones were in the early stages of development. I doubt they would have any on Great Bear Island of all places due to its remote nature. Recharging a battery... from bare, live wires.. while the battery would realistically self-charge due to the Aurora's effect on flashlights... How much do you know about quadcopters, exactly? You'd have to revamp the entire map for this to work. Not exactly feasible.

Nope, I know the other ones!

A Russian by the name of "Va Faill" managed to get this screenshot: 3 rifles, a lantern, and a bow.

...wait... wasn't there a knife Variant in story mode before Variants were even a thing?

So, previous run was terrible. Got attacked by a bear, then while fleeing managed to get ambushed from behind by a wolf. I wasn't even listening to music, I should've heard it, and yet before I could even take a shot it lacerated me and killed me. So, I load up Milton again, because that's my favorite starting location. Pop into the Milton Credit Union in the dark, crack the safe, and... Wham. Not 10 minutes in and I got an expedition parka. Is this a new record? Expedition%?

Whoa, seriously? Where?? Uhh... I don't know how to post using spoiler tags, and apparently nobody else here does. How do you do it? And I saw someone else who found it at Carter, so I'm assuming it's just... you know... a Variant of a normal spawn. Oh yeah, the Mementos! I found three of those, they didn't seem that interesting. It really wasn't worth it to go up past Rickety Foot Bridge in BR just for 3 cured saplings in a lockbox.

Now that I've figured this out, onto another question- where's the Shortwave Radio? Does it spawn randomly? I couldn't find it at Final Approach, and the flare gun case was completely empty.

A fishing rod, for ocean fishing Pre-generated maps you can find, because cartography is rarely if ever used Overhauled Memento inventories, because I really don't think three Cured Birch Saplings are worth going up to Rickety Foot Bridge More common Shortwave Radio spawns, because I couldn't find a single one in Forsaken Airfield. (Checked Final Approach, ATC, Main Hangar, and Mindful Cabin- no dice. Maybe put one at Surfeit Trestle in Far Range Branch Line?) Fix for Helicopter interiors- you can only sit in 4/6 seats, and as such can only access half of the containers Markings on the coal chute in Vacant Depot, because I thought it was unintentional until I saw the door on the side More details on where Vaughn's Rifle spawns- didn't see it in Vacant Depot when I stopped by That's all I can think of as of now.

Well yeah, of course. Only the things you'd see in a real world vending machine. Sodas, chips, jerky, candies. The occasional water bottle or rare Go! Energy Drink. That's it.

So, I get the TFTFT DLC, and open up to this: Forsaken Airfield, available NOW?? Awesome! So I go to start a new save. Do you guys see Forsaken Airfield on here? I don't. Where is it? Why do I have a bad feeling it's connected to Broken Railroad past that one bridge? Surely they wouldn't nestle it in with Timberwolf again, right?

Good to see people came around to the "vending machine" idea. Nobody picks up cash in game, so I think it'd be a decent way to make a useless item into something worth carrying. Got a couple of ideas about how it should be designed, too. Unlike the broken glass-front vending machines you see in game, the functional ones should have metal fronts (or at the very least a wire mesh over the front) to show why they weren't just broken into. Sorta like this one.

ACORN FLOUR WE'RE GETTING BREAD BOYS LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I was talking about the distress pistol, not the revolver. There's no reason a flare gun would bleed an animal dry that quickly compared to a .303 rifle. Also, since when could you turn off distress pistol spawns?
