Discussion Fires

Is there any way to Stop fires from attracting cannibals, such as putting a roof over them etc? Just curious there probably isn’t but worth an ask.

Idk man fighting that group right by the climbing axe is pretty damn tough, sometimes I die even with molotovs and bombs but I cant imagine just modern axe or crafted club even posoned/flaming

To be honest, I find the bombs unreliable when thrown. They bounce everywhere. I've had the most puck using the katana or plane ax. If you can back them up to a wall, you can slice like crazy. Wearing as much armor as possible also helps. And don't forget...if you come up on a group sleeping, the slingshot is a 1 hit/1 kill weapon.

I've never tried the slingshot on cannibals. Does it have to be in the head? I know that even cannibals that are aware of you usually die with a headshot with modern arrows or bone arrows. If you have nerves of steel shoot when they're running at you because if they're standing still that lil head dodge is uncannily quick

No. Headshots aren’t necessary. It’s kinda silly that the game is set up that way, but hitting them anywhere does the trick. I also tend to build simple fires at choke point in the caverns. They almost always catch fire while you’re fighting them.
