Hare Hunting Guide (How to Farm Rabbit Skin):
---------------------------------------------
Written by [] Doctor
This guide will show how to easily farm rabbit skin.
-=Aiming=-
The scope is on the fold of the thumb. Depending on the distance to the target, the
vertical position of the sight may change. Keep this in mind when knocking out
achievements.
-=Hunting=-
If you want to eat or need skins for warm mittens. You can hunt rabbits with stones.
But it’s not so easy, right? And it’s a pity to spend ammunition, or simply there is
no gun and / or ammunition.
To successfully catch and kill the hares, it is enough to have 2-3 stones in the
inventory = 0.5-0.75 kg (more can be).
2 required, and 3 (s) in case of a miss.
Throwing stones is better sitting. Since the hare is blind, he will run closer to you.
The first stone should fly away for a hare - (Then it will run in your direction).
The second stone should fly ahead of the hare (a little further along the trajectory
of its movement).
If you are lucky and you stunned him, then you have 5 seconds to run up to him and
turn his neck to let go of such a cute fluffy cute little hare.
If no luck, then repeat until successful.
When creating this guide, not a single hare was probably hurt.
Ps. I'm also not happy with this brutal rabbit killing scene.
-=Conclusion=-
I know that the method is quite difficult, but it is effective. I thus caught up
to 6 birds with one stone using only 2 stones. You only need to fill your hand.
Guide to Defeating Timberwolves:
--------------------------------
Written by KawaiiLulu
-=How to Defeat Them=-
* Timberwolves will continue to attack until the pack's Morale is fully depleted.
* Morale can be lowered by by shooting or throwing objects at the Timberwolves.
* Once a Timberwolf Pack's Morale is fully depleted, surviving members will flee
and will not attack again for a short time.
* Marine Flares are also effective at stopping Timberwolf lunges, although normal
Flares are not.
* Both types of hand-held flare are effective at keeping Timberwolves at bay (~15m),
just outside their lunge distance.
* A single lit Marine flare can be used to deplete a pack's Morale by repeatedly
throwing it at the ground between the player and a Timberwolf, and then picking
up the flare to repeat the process.
How to Find a Good Safehouse:
-----------------------------
Written by papi42boyz.
This is a really simple guide on how to find a good shelter for storing items
from your current reigon and sleeping for the night.
-=Step 1: Finding a Cozy Box=-
First, before you can turn a random building into a good safehouse, you’ll need to
find a random building. Some of the best ones would be the Quonset Garage in Coastal
Highway or the Carter Hydro Dam in Mystery Lake, because these have fire barrels,
bedrolls, potable water, tons of storage and enough supplies to probably last weeks
(this is probably only true on pilgrim and voyageur difficulty) Some requirements
for a good safehouse include, but are not limited to: lots of storage, lots of
supplies, easy access to other locations, a fire barrel or burned out campfire,
rabbit spawns right outside and if you’re an expert lorekeeper or you just want
100% completion, computers, notes and nearby cairns.
-=Step 2: Marking your Territory=-
If you don’t have a spray paint can, this won’t work, ’cause you need one, and I
don’t think you have the time to collect 50 stones to build a rock cache.
Once you’ve found your nice little piece-of-garbage-but-still-better-than-nothing
abandoned structure, you’ll probably want to mark where exactly it is in case you
know what it’s called but forgor ?? To do that, all you’ll need is some nice, clear
weather and a can of spray paint. Go outside, take out your spray paint, and paint
the “fire starting” symbol on the front door of the structure. I chose the fire
starting symbol because this is a game where the cold is your worst enemy and
because of that, the only thing other than a building that could be considered a
safe place would be a fire, so it just makes sense.
-=Step 3: Consume the Supplies=-
Once you’ve identified a good building and marked it on your map, you’ll have to
go inside and get some supplies. Keep in mind that you should probably only take
raw meat and low-condition food so that the better stuff is kept for later. Also
take only what you need and will need in the near future, at least until you reach
the next structure, which could be an entire in-game day, depending on how fast
you’re moving. Stuff like prybars, hatchets and can openers should be taken (unless
you already have one, then you can just come back if it’s ruined or you’re an idiot
and you harvest it) as well as any guns or ammunition (ammunition is useless if you
don’t find or have the gun it’s used for).
-=Step 4: Pounds not Kilograms=-
When you get to the building, you’ll also probably have a ton of junk that you
don’t want to drop out in the middle of nowhere, then suddenly need later on. That
where the abundant storage comes in. You need to drop stuff in the containers and
lockers and things so you’ll have a light enough load to sprint faster in case a
moose or bear tries to kill you and you don’t have a gun or a high protection stat.
This’ll also be useful because if you want to grab something, you’ll have plenty
of space to spare, as opposed to if you don’t unload your backpack and you’ll have
to drop 15 different things to pick it up, which is gonna suck, because then you’ll
need those 15 things later on.
Batteries for Towers:
---------------------
-=FA Tower
Battery right next to it.
-=FM Tower
Battery right next to it.
-=MT Tower
Battery in car across bridge on way to church.
-=PV Tower
Not in PV (searched pretty much the whole map) but in CH. In the green car
between Log Sort and Quonset.
Note: My guess for the OP is that a battery exists somewhere in your game. Probably
underneath a hood somewhere and you may have to trek to find it and bring it back.
Beginners Tips:
---------------
* The story is nice to learn the game mechanics.
* You loose a little condition if your hunger is at 0 (1% per hour)
* Same for fatigue, you lose 1% per hour if it reach 0.
* Your thirst meter makes you lose 2% per hour if it reachs 0 so watch out for
this one a little more.
* And finally your warmth meter make you lose 20% per hour if it reach 0, and even
40% if you get hypotermia. So the cold is more likely to kill you.
* If you got attacked by a wolf, you may have a blood loss condition and you lose
condition even more quickly 30% per hour. Be sure to use a bandage if you have that.
* Your health should not deplete without reason just because you loot. you’re supposed
to.
There are other negative afflictions in the game you can get if you drink unsafe water
without boiling it, or eat raw meat without cooking it, so check in the UI if you have
something triggering your health loss.
A very important hint I would give is to not hoard too many things.
In the story mode you’ll eventually be directed to a house, use it to store your items
there and don’t travel with too much stuff in order to travel light, be faster and be
able to bring back more stuff for the objectives.
Against wolves you can use torches: when you light your first fire you can pick up
torches from it and extinguish them right away. If you keep a good torch on you you
can light it up when you encounter a wolf. Switch to a rock (or any weapon) will make
you drop the torch and aiming at a wolf with the torch (or flare) lit at your feet will
make the wolf flee.
I hope this help.
Tips for Interloper Tea:
------------------------
* Make sure to grab all the Reishi Mushrooms you find. Rose Hips also, but you only
need 2 Reishi Mushrooms to make One Tea.
* Tea is so important for the first 5+ In-Game days its ridiculous how much it can help.
* Brew as much as you can make (one great thing to do while water boils is turn the
mushrooms/hips into Prepared Ingredients) because this is a great source of “Warming Up”.
* Since the game starts you with one can, you can make the Teas on Day 1 and since your
clothing is really limited, this can give you so SO much more time to get between
places without Frostbite or Hypothermia.
* Also the Tea is worth 100 Calories and every little bit helps. Lastly, once its brewed
you don’t need to use the Can to warm it up.
* Any Fire with 2 or more spots, you can warm your tea while cooking or boiling water
since the game puts it in a little red cup for you (same for all brewed beverages).
* Oh and carry lots of torches. You can light a Torch with a discarded Torch that’s still
burning on the ground.
* I’ve been able to keep a “fire” going that way across an entire zone to use the torch
to light a fire in the next zone since I had zero matches.
Spezial Fishing Lure:
---------------------
Rainbow Trout are saltwater fish, so you need to fish for them along the coast. The fishing
huts in Coastal Highway are your best bet. You’ll catch some Coho Salmon too (they are
also saltwater fish).
But lures- they do not help you catch more fish. They only help you catch the newer rare
(special) fish, and I don’t know that the lures are linked to the types of special fish
you might catch- location (saltwater vs, freshwater) seems to be the only thing that
determines the type of special rare fish you *might* catch.
Bait will help you catch bigger fish, so using bait may be a better option for you if you
really want to catch bigger fish.
For Vitamin C, the Lake Whitefish gives slightly more Vitamin C than Rainbow Trout do,
but you won’t catch them along the coast- lakes and ponds like Mystery Lake are where
you catch them (freshwater fish), and you will catch Smallmouth Bass as well.
Any fish when cooked will give you some lamp oil from cooking them.
The only special effect the fishing lures have is increasing the chances of catching one
of the rare fish. They make it 5 or 10 times more likely to catch one of the rare fish,
but also make it take longer to catch anything, and they do not guarantee that you will
catch a rare fish. I only use lures if i want to catch Rockfish (saltwater fish) to be
able to make Dockworker’s Pie.
