THE FOREVER WINTER Tips & Tricks

[@theonefrancis696]

"Tanks and mechs don't even care about you" They are basically my nemesis.

[@helixfalks]

Same.

[@jamespeters72]

I see alot of people defending this game going oh that shot was not for you or oh you was just not careful but can we talk about how squads do just spawn on you sometimes or will just randomly do a 180 and rush towards you.

[@radchad992]

They do it’s a lot better after the hot patch and a lot of it is players standing in spawns because they don’t know the map. But occasionally the game does fuck you but I’ve had a lot of runs 30+ without that happening

[@kawffee69]

That's my one gripe too. I've died to that a handful of times. You can't even be ready for that lol. There are bugs but that's to be expected since it's early access. Hopefully they iron out the big stuff first

[@mohammadalirashed3103]

The community are fiercely loyal, and to a fault. At this stage this game needs honest feedback in order to improve, and they attack anyone who offers any criticism. I gave the game a positive review on steam (that was mildly critical), and the fanboys reacted to it with clown emojis.

[@radchad992]

@@mohammadalirashed3103 I gave negative in release because it didn’t function and then after everyone else who did the same they fixed it. Dick riders don’t understand that shitting on flowers helps them grow 😂

[@elgringofeo9348]

Id hope for bots to spawn outside the map and move in, it would feel for natural

[@zenzibar28]

Explosives sell for a lot to vendors so I've been doing runs where I stack a bunch using the rack rig. I now understand why I keep blowing up on occasion when taking stray bullets haha

[@kawffee69]

Yeah lol. Ever since I got blown up, I've been avoiding grabbing explosives at all costs lol. They do sell for a pretty penny

[@zenzibar28]

@kawffee69 I'm curious now, since the rig upgrades provide a chance to protect against damage would that affect the chance for it to explode?

[@kawffee69]

@@zenzibar28 Might be possible. I haven't tried the rig upgrades yet but it seems to put extra reinforcements around the open container cage. I'd assume there'd be a lesser chance that a bullet would penetrate inside and hit the explosive. Worth testing.

[@austenfalk6018]

Im happy to buy the game early as I want to support the title. But its soooo rough right now.

[@NecroticGamer117]

Correction on one point; tanks are the only enemy that will not attack unless you fire on them first regardless of faction animosity, mechs will disregard you only if there is another enemy nearby to focus on.

[@kawffee69]

You might be right. I've not been hit by mechs/exo's so far unless I specifically agro them so I assumed they were like tanks.

[@berkantozdemir1546]

tab+space is the hotkey for collect all, no need to move mouse. happy hunting scavs!

[@clown5854]

Mechs do,in fact,care.Medium Europa Exo sniped me across the field as I was looting a corpse tank.I did not shoot it,I crouch to the tank and was behind it.

[@kawffee69]

You might have gotten caught by a shot not meant for you. For the most part, the mechs will not really care about you unless you specifically target their faction openly or slay out too much.

[@michalpiskorski9731]

Well, I just move them directly and they become working guns. They don’t vanish

[@michalpiskorski9731]

Got the game last night and gotta admit I was surprised by the massive amount of bugs but it is still a piece of art and a visual orgasm.

[@seanc6754]

I have yet to be targeted by a medium+ sizes of mechs or tanks.. but i do move far around them and or wait till they are engaged and run as fast as possible and as far away as possible.. but sometimes in the first area scorched whatever tanks will spawn and patrol right in front of the pipe opening lol.. a real pain in the butt

[@kawffee69]

I know what you mean lol. I've just been booking it past those spawn camping tanks and I have yet to be killed by one lol.

[@radchad992]

If you’re being hunted they will light you up other than that I caught strays

[@simonphoenix3789]

I think the whole system of every weapon you find being "destroyed" is just dumb as hell. It takes so much of the fun out of finding weapons. They should have just reduced the sale price for weapons instead or made in RNG, so sometimes the weapons are destroyed, but sometimes they are functioning.

[@JayMatth]

Look forward to start playing this game. Really useful information there, thanks!

[@kawffee69]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@pure7865]

I've actually found that stealth kills (with the animation) don't appear to be silent. The one occasion I tried it (probably requires more testing), there were two enemies, both facing away from me, the one to the left faced slightly away from his companion too. I initiated the stealth kill on the one on the right and as it finished, his buddy instantly became aware of it/me. Is there a squad link maybe? Or do we think he actually did have his buddy in line of sight? It felt a bit weird at the time because I figured the 'stealth' kills would be stealthy...!

[@kawffee69]

Yeah I agree. Most times I've tried it the other squad member(s) always detect me. It also makes the detect icon pop up on the enemy you are finishing so maybe that triggers whoever is near the enemy to notice? Not entirely sure but it's good if you end up in a situation where there is just one enemy. Very situational.

[@elgringofeo9348]

The destroyed guns is kinda not needed, a gacha box easily gives you big guns, and simply unlocking grillo can sell you them

[@kawffee69]

I suppose but with destroyed weapons you can get access to GL's and heavy snipers very early on. I wasn't even finished with the tutorial drone quest and got access to insane weaponry lol.

[@SpeedyMckeezy]

What button are you pressing to perform an execution when prompted?

[@kawffee69]

The melee key. I have mine bound to capslock

[@connorp8408]

- Do the explosives explode on one hit? - I just started playing, but if I have weapons in my inventory and I run out of water, do I lose those too or just weapons in my stash?

[@kawffee69]

I think they might explode with one hit if your weapon does enough damage. Maybe with a sniper or shotgun. It's a niche mechanic not sure how effective it'll be. And I think it says you lose your stash so I'd assume you get to keep everything in your backpack including equipped weapons. I could be wrong. There are a ton of videos on youtube for farming water so you shouldn't really be running into that unless you didn't play for a while.

[@created_by_creat0r]

Ty for your video😊

[@For_the-Emperor]

What map has that grey look with the massive mounds of bodies? I’ve put in 14 hours and still have yet to see that map or random hill piles of bodies. Haven’t seen the big mom mechs either.

[@radchad992]

It’s an event that happens randomly on all maps

[@kawffee69]

I'm not sure if all maps have it but a fair few have special versions where it's overrun by zombies. It's a rare chance. When I was spamming the scorched enclave it happened twice or thrice for me.

[@radchad992]

@@kawffee69 I’ve seen it on ashen mesa, and enclave personally but I’ve seen clips of other maps as well. It’s a dice roll wether you wake up in hells hell

[@michalpiskorski9731]

I remember the first time it happened. I was sure I miss selected the map or something.

[@justcraziii]

The first mission, but its a random night mission that may generate

[@matthewramirez2484]

You will in fact get hit by stray bullets 😂

[@kawffee69]

@@matthewramirez2484 lol yup. Happens way more than you'd think

This video needs an update. Some things have changed and been improved on. Others have been made worse.
