THE LONG DARK: Quests from the Trader. His connection to Wintermute-Tales/Meta items.

[@francesco5581]

The problem of the trader is all the walking ..the cutting of wood... and aimless hints ... the waiting .. for basically decorative things ...

[@CJS3637_MforAone]

Appreciate you taking the time out of your day to get through all this just so we can see the rewards. Absolutely abysmal how it would take god knows how long to go through this, not to mention how bugged it is. Weird how they said they didnt want to add more guns when they could add so much more to the survival element to the game. Or at the very least a new gun type like a bird huntin shotgun instead of just rifles and revolvers.

[@Lithar1987]

exactly, it would be enough to give other knives, axes. Alternatives. For example a knife that is weak but quarters 40% faster or a weak axe but chops wood 50% faster.

[@averagesteel9666]

I’ve been wanting them to add a hunting shotgun to go blast crows, ptarmigans, and rabbits for ages now lol

[@averagesteel9666]

@@Lithar1987Or some kind of tactical Hatchet that excels in struggles, but is heavier, and loses condition faster when processing wood?

[@ZloyDedBaraded]

Thank You so much for this guide! It helped me to pass this bug with "document stash 2/4" and I hope devs will fix it in the next patches/updates.

[@Lithar1987]

14:43- beginning of bug 22:15- Plot, insomnia from tales/wintermute 27:56 - meta trade IMPORTANT: Spoiler alert. First of all, this is a speed run. With mods you can do it in 3-5 hours (I'm ignoring the time needed to collect items for exchange) if you know the world perfectly, without mods you will do it for days, weeks (real time). I did it on my meta Custom sandbox, in the 4th bunker I came across a BUG that in my opinion currently prevents the completion of the trader's plot. You can report it to Lazy... Hinterland, I won't. In order to complete the tasks and reach the meta items I decided that it is necessary to forcefully summon the required items using a console mod. The film aims to show the way to the viewers, after everything I deleted the save and returned to the initial state to do it legally someday at peace. My main run is the interloper anyway. In places where the game is bugged, I acted intuitively, assuming that these are the items that should appear. I will show meta items in a separate video how they work

[@tobiasretta1416]

I'm standing at the exact spot in the pleasent valley bunker but the game won't even give me the option to search the "loose bricks". Is this part of the bug or am I doing something wrong?

[@SaltyRocksPew]

Dude this is so helpful thank you I wasn't able to start the second part of the trader quest because I didn't know he actually dropped something off in the freaking box. Thanks for the useless jacket, Sutherland. I'm decked to the nines in bear coats and wolf pants but yes thank you the mackinaw jacket is so helpful and a good reason not to let me trade anymore.

[@brodyseth8849]

ik dude im on day 300 that jacket was such a dissapointment. and then the next two only gave me three arrowheads and a garbage knife. dissapointing

Thanks! No wonder I can't complete it myself. I've reported the bug and gave them your video link to provide more feedback.

I think Raphael must have a "looking for bunkers" fetish. Wintermute side quests, the tales and now this.

[@Lithar1987]

Correction to what I wrote yesterday: After making 3 full lists at trader (or maybe 4, a total of 12-15 exchanges of 3 items). I was able to start the quest at interloper level.

[@krabz9390]

where is the bunker on interloper. There is only one in PV and the ones you find on the transmitter don't have loose bricks.

[@Venom-yz6bx]

Kind of disappointed with this merchant. More of the same rewards. Another skin for the same rifle and more work for it in the end. I was expecting binoculars, a backpack with a larger capacity, some drink that would give a buff, a bear trap, a flashlight battery, useful things. Do you agree?! Thanks for showing the rewards and saving us time.

[@Lithar1987]

Items are ok, some food, some clothes, some weapons. I was more irritated by the trader's tasks. Again running around the world in bunkers like in Tales, always bunkers, instead of diversifying it. Apart from that, the narrative and text are poorly written. The prices for exchange are kind of crazy. The last items like the rifle are cheap compared to others.

[@LaserTractor]

Scoped rifle Eh That'd take another 5 years to make

[@idoomi6714]

​@@Lithar1987yeah but then again I dont want it to be easy idk they probably gona work on ot I like the addition

[@Jack-t9g2s]

I’d love to see a Rifle Scope added to the game.

[@trickshotguynoscopemaster7145]

Not gonna lie the flour seems worth it since its super easy to get 10 flour bags for 20 kilo's of fish or meat seems easy and 10 kilo's of water too since fish is always heavy like 4 kilo's

[@martinbenoit5965]

I wonder what will happen if you shoot on the trader boat with the rifle... maybe you will never heard his voice on the radio again. 😅

[@jumpy.-8944]

Don’t worry about quest bug. People will be busying finding woodworking tool. Oh and they have to find all batteries for trader. Someone in hinterland probably.😂😂😂

[@Josereyes-yx8wp]

Now I know why people are upset about the batteries.. you need more than 20 if you want to get all the blueprints from the trader. You need like 12 for the important blueprints and that number alone is pretty high😅

[@jumpy.-8944]

@ maybe keep trading and finish his quest and he will give you discount. All blueprint will need 2 batteries instead of 3. But the quest still bricked, need to wait for them to patch.

[@SaltyRocksPew]

Oh my god. I went to the wrong freaking prepper cache. When he said 'survivalists cache' I thought 'oh it must be the one with hunting supplies that's very survivaly' and I spent thirty minutes looking for a loose brick that wasn't there. GOD DAAAHHHH

[@yondlyafar8680]

so glad I havent gotten to the abandoned bunker part yet. Really do hope they decide to fix those minor bugs in the future hotfixes

[@Joe_Real]

I've noticed that this update has quite a few bugs, Potbelly stoves hitboxes are bugged, Can't catch fish on custom interloper and obviously the bug shown in the video

[@taeneli5384]

Have to say I'm a bit disappointed too in how they implemented the quests. It's tremendous amount of work to find every single bunker unless you get lucky. Even walking from few regions to another can take hours irl time.

R the cereals,pickles new gaming items or mod items?

[@Lithar1987]

new items, now I don't use any mods except developer console and time accelerator

[@Lithar1987]

After a series of exchanges of goods I find that there are no tasks from the trader on the interloper, only trade. There are culinary recipes and a recipe for wolf pants. But there is no recipe for a wolf hat, cereal, canned pineapples, dried apples and clothes - socks, T-shirts, mittens. but there are PICKLES 👹

Hi Lithar! I’ve been a fan of your channel for a while and really appreciate your videos, esp. about the most recent update-they’re super helpful! I have a few questions and was wondering what’s the best way to reach you. Thanks for the great content, and keep the videos coming!

[@noviceclimber]

​@@Lithar1987 Do you remember how, in the old system, there are 1 Prepper Cache in each region, but you would have to go various potential spawn points to find it? Is that system obsolete? Are there still any Prepper Caches in the world besides the one by the rope into TWM? I feel like, with each update, I fall a little more behind. For example, I've only started using the cooking features in my most recent run. Never used the fishing lures or tips. Never tried gunsmithing. I never knew that you can increase carry capacity and such with cooking even!

[@noviceclimber]

@@Lithar1987 I'll try to make this one as short as I can. I recently started a run with the goal to reach 500 days, finish the tales, and actually get to know to all the regions (Blackrock, Far Territory). The new update adds a lot of new feature that I want to try, esp. salting meat for easy travel to new regions. I've been playing for a long time; always have been and still on Pilgrim bc it's relaxing. I think you need to finish the Tales to get certain loot? Like the technical balaclava. That said, it's not very clear to me as to what you can do BEFORE vs AFTER finishing The Tales with this new update. Can you build things right away without finishing the tales? Can you speak to the Trader before the Tales? With the new animal movement, have you noticed any changes with their locations? Are their old locations useless? (I use the maps to play). I know that's a lot of questions. It's easier knowing that I'm asking someone who's a lot more up to date than me. Thanks!!!

@@noviceclimber bunkers were changed 2 years ago. There used to be bunkers only in Mystery Lake and PV. There were 9 possible locations but there was only one available. There was medical, weapons, wood, clothes or several versions with food. Now it's different. You have bunkers in 9 different maps and the same places. But 6 of those 9 are randomly empty, the other three are: one is hunting, one prepper and one conspiracy. I have a playlist on the channel with bunkers. There are locations there.
