[@SecretMarsupial]

@Angryewokadam No shit Cpt. Obvious

[@FracturedGoblin]

@@SecretMarsupial Not super obvious, the only things that despawn on restart are bodies and ruined items. Take all of the gear off of a body and the non ruined stuff will still be there when you log back in.

[@danielcooperfx]

That's now changed

[@hooninnpoonin3904]

@Angryewokadam that’s why you cut the bodies up if u stay within 100m of the area of the actual items they won’t despawn after reset only full bodies do. Remember to cut up to save ur friends gear as they run back lol after reset they will despawn if you haven’t been in the area within a certain time

[@wishyourlife6861]

A little tip from me: As of 1.15, you will now have to open the physical trunk of a vehicle to access it's inventory. Even the Sarka 120s inventory is accessed from the rear trunk, despite being a rear-engine car. This is likely an oversight by the devs.

Tip: If you crouch while drinking a bottle/soda (as soon as the wheel appears) you will skip the animation of removing the cap/tab and go straight to drinking. Helpful if you are in a hurry OR you don't want someone to hear you remove the cap! Love the vids WOBO!

[@matt0198922]

Also, sprint forward one millimeter the moment any animation circle is completed (eating, drinking, crafting) and it finishes the animation immediately. This is extremely important when bandaging multiple wounds...as soon as that circle completes, sprint forward just a bit and start the next bandage. Saves so much time.

[@frozenironforge5133]

Another tip: sawing off the sights on the FAMAS rifle will increase the rate at which it looses durability. I believe it's between 10-20% Bonus tip Always have an epinephrine auto-injector on your hot bar wheel to use in an emergency. It's useful for when you're carry weight has drained your total stamina and you need to sprint, when you need to climb walls or when you need to hold your breath for a long period of time for long range shots.

another tip: Almost all melee weapons are one shot when hit in the head. Aim so you’re almost looking at the sky and swing. Shovel, baseball bat, sledgy, all of these are capable of one-shot when hit in the head.

[@liquidhazetv8756]

I particularly am fond of the sledge hammer and charging up a heavy attack as a zombie is nearing me. Aim high and more often than not you'll get a satisfying 1 bonk kill.

[@RockinEnabled]

gotta try it out, thanks! must save me blood and the tool's condition

[@paytonwirtjes523]

Run directly at a zombie with a Barbed bat aim about 2 foot above Thier head and sprint power attack one shot everytime. To players too if the don't got a tac helm Also if you don't get the distance to sprint in with that first running power attack do a quick swing then power the back swing is fast af, then one more power attack and itll drop anyone regardless of gear the barbed bat is op

Sure it does bud.

[@nicemonkeyman]

When you have a broken leg stand up fully do a slow walk to avoid going uncon and constantly hold crouch to lay down then immediately stand up and keep repeating. It's a little faster then just walking and makes it harder for someone to shoot you

I was being chased by zeds while exiting an area. I used an amphib to fire a shot behind the zeds chasing me. They stopped chasing me and went after the bullet impact allowing me to just run away.

[@knooters]

Regarding #62: try this with other items than rags. Like, a suppressor? Suppressors have a nasty habit of getting ruined from slaps from infected and also from gunshots, based on my experience. I've seen other items go from pristine to worn also, but not nearly as frequent.

[@zemanov2553]

Unsure if this still works, and not entirely important, but if you have something like body armor w/pouches in your inventory, and if your inventory is completely full, unloading magazines will place the rounds in the body armor pouches (which should not happen since only grenade-type attachments will stay on armor if you put it in your inventory). Random, I know.
