20 PRO Tips For Decaying Winter

[@JoshJonya]

If you’re wondering why there’s footage of me in a circle (helipad) defending from multiple angles, that’s because Decaying Winter has two game modes. The circle game mode (holdout) can be activated by typing /startholdout in the chat.

[@MalomainfromDOOMED]

works only on private servers

[@omnial]

to explain a little with holdout: Holdout is an endless gamemode in which players have to meet up at the middle now, using salvage to buy things to better their survival and their base. Looting time slowly get longer, the storm is faster and now does 15 damage, and there are boss waves every 10 waves. These boss waves are on one specific type of enemy and will become tougher as more waves go by. Crates are less scarce and base has a ton of them, but is guarded by loads of scavengers (and snipers and guards in later waves). Holdout does have a point in upgrades where you can buy four recruits to assist you, as well as a workbench, scrapper, ammo fabricator, and rations dispenser.

[@Mirror944]

@@omnial holdout also is a harder verison of decaying winter, the rations you eat gives less hunger and thirst, you also the pros about it is the maximum is 2 morale. and guns are much more common.

[@omnial]

@@Mirror944 Some things are balanced out, like the rations thing, they recover less but even with beans and colas you will get that green bar effect that slows hunger and thirst loss. There are also extremely shorter cooldowns between consumption.

Glad to see the game is back. Didn't think Zym and the others devs would give up with all the support from the fanbase though. (Sad to hear Red gave up on bringing it back though.)

[@Quvl]

Red gave up so his account wont get banned and lose all his other games too

[@punishediskala7314]

@@Quvl red gave up cuz she admitted herself her coding is spaghetti and because she naturally is inclined to leaving projects dead in the air, contact and SOF is proof of this. red said last strandeds was the last update anyways, so it's not surprising she didn't agree to work on the reupload

Extra Tips! (adding on to some of his) Extra tip number 1: the same rule applies to your summons, such as apostle, sovereign, and mindflayer, you should always help out your summons, even if it is as simple as a push, or a heavy attack from safety. Extra tip number 6: If all of your inventory slots are full, you can fix your arms to eat & drink, to get the buff without having to drop anything Extra tip number 12: Enemies in the last stranded mode have VERY reduced hearing, and will not hear you pretty much no matter what, but can see their allies dying, so you might wanna pick off strong stragglers if you do not have ammo to spare. Extra tip number 17: If you hit an enemy before they get laser'd by the turret, you will get their rations! just not the EXP.

[@whoami234]

u got any tips for.. idk what it is but like a words, health bar, basically everything is too big in my screen. The teamates health bar is literally 1/4 of my screen so i cant even see well. When i click t the map is so big its cover most of thing so its hard for me to drink or eat. When i at menu if i want to set something the words wont even disappear like its a bunch of words just overlapping each other. its have been really annoying.

Not really a tip but, every perk is useful in its own way, don't listen to people who are telling you that your perk is bad. Some perks make great combos with others but the goal is to have fun. No perk is bad, it is how you play with it.

[@noth1ng2chere]

ngl, the last tip hits deep

[@CaReclaimationGovernment]

1 melee tip that I have for new players that are struggling with melee combat (I'm not sure if this is already covered in the video since i'm too lazy to watch and pay attention for a whole 6 and a half minutes): If you have a proper melee weapon or the honorable trait and you are up against a single melee scav, run up to it and parry it (press r) THE MOMENT you get close to it. Chances are, the scav will do a light attack and get stunned by the parry. If this happens, land a few light hits while it's stunned, retreat, wait for it to recover and approach you, and repeat. And if the scav heavy attacks, just parry while it's preparing the heavy attack. It's possible to use this against many scavs by running and jumping over them while parrying TWO TIMES (the first parry is to counter light attacks and the second parry is to counter heavy attacks) after that, look out for the parried scav that is furthest away from other scavs and land a few hits on it, and repeat.

[@stuffyry]

As an executioner enjoyer, I severely disagree with no parrying. It is essential in being a little loser that doesn't get hit by a melee attack once. Just learn how to time it right.

I've seen some sort of knife that ppl start off the game with in multiple videos of this game and I'm wondering what it is if my question could be answered I would appreciate it😊

[@JoshJonya]

If it’s a knife when they shove, then that’s the ballistic dagger. If it’s a knife that they can use as a melee, then that’s a melee skin. There are multiple melee skins and you can get them by using “bonds” at the Quartermaster’s shop, who is unlocked once you reach level 100 for the first time (and prestige). Good luck!

[@isaaceichinski4374]

Thanks

[@isaaceichinski4374]

Just thought of another question: if you have a weapon skin for your fists, would you have to equip the honourable trait to parry with it?

If your gun comes with a scope or sight of any kind, you can hold right click (on your mouse) to “aim down sights.” This will _typically_ give you greater control over where your bullets end up. Good luck!
