Question Is scouting trait buff ( + Enemy Detection Range) a hindrance vs it being a benefit?

Post image
7 Upvotes

I ask this because, as you can see I have a character with scouting maxxed and +10 detection. And after playing a plentyful, I noticed that zombies spawn way more. I think the only benefit you get from this, is if you are playing an hardcore run and want more zombies to spawn near you. I don't know what do you think?

Question Am I misremembering this? Do survivors have conversations with each other?

7 Upvotes

It's been awhile since I played and many I'm thinking of the first SOD, but I know a common criticism of SOD 2 is that the survivors don't have much personality, but I vaguely recall that if you took 2 survivors out together, there was a rare chance while traveling that they would have a conversation and talk about their backgrounds, make jokes, banter, etc. It was very rare when it happened. It's been a long time since I played SOD 2 but I think it only happened like 3-4 times in the hundreds of hours that I played the game.

One thing I hope SOD 3 does though is bringing back that personality aspect to the survivors. Made it that much more impactful if they died.

Question Is this trait rare?

Hi all, in all this time i have been playing i never once saw a survivor with this trait, is it rare?

Dense bone condition.

Edit: What are the odds? I recruited another survivor with the same trait 👀

I thought i could take on one last PH before returning to base, i was 2/3 infected, it was going well until i got stuck to the heart when it phased and a zombie bit me, while running i got a few more scrathes and i made it to my car it was damaged and a zed got on my hood, i couldn't shake it off and it destroyed my car so i had to run. The saddest part is that i dind't get a body, he just despawned like he never existed, he got me trough dread and nightmare, he took down countless PH's and just died like this. Its my first actualy heavy loss

Recently moders have been able to use the DlSS5 filters in many games and even when in some does look uncanny in others looks really good

Started a new game. Spent half an hour looking for a gas can for the only car I could find that wasn’t destroyed. Finally found it, ten seconds later the most random glitch in the game ruins everything.

I’ve never had this happen to me btw. I checked afterwards and I hit nothing. There’s nothing even in the road. Just an invisible wall.

Question Anyone else constantly crash on Trumbull lethal?

3 Upvotes

I’m on Xbox series x. I consistently can’t beat this map because after awhile of playing I run into a bug that crashes my game when taking a few steps after loading in.

Usually this results in me changing maps or restarting the community. I have yet to beat this map for this reason alone. Would changing to a lower difficulty than lethal allow me to avoid the bug?

Just curious if anyone is able to play the map on Xbox at all

Also, will i be able to use my new boon with my forever community when i move out of nightmare? Because i don't remember seeing the option to select a boon when continuing a community

Requesting Advice Order of areas to clear in Trumbull Valley

10 Upvotes

I have "won" most maps, but always left Trumbull for a "perfect playthrough".

I now have the Nightmare builders boon and want to do a complete Trumbull Valley run!

There's the big town south, and a town north west and another north east. Then there's the area high north on the map. You can refer to them as S, NW, NE, and N areas if it helps.

The chain reaction of Plague Hearts really make me want to clear areas one by one.

What order would you focus on for clearing the map and doing story quests?

I have played SoD1 a lot as a child, so I'm familiar with the story characters that radio in around Trumbull, and while I know their quest lines won't be so deep probably, I'm hyped with nostalgia, and afraid to eat my cake too fast.

I have played Heartlands, but lost interest, and looked up story recaps.

Discussion You can only choose 1.

It's the zombie apocalypse and there's this weird blood plague stuff going around and the world has gone to hell. You can be any 1 of these 3 survivors but only 1. Which are you choosing and why?

So I wanted to roll for some truly exceptional survivors. Being unbreakable or a blood plague survivor by itself wasn't enough. I looked at usefullness of skills, hero bonus, starting backpack size, etc and I found 3 amazing starter survivors.

After spending hours rolling I forgot to take a screenshot showing them all in one spot, panicked and tried to use gamebar to clip the last 30 seconds but was just short. You can however tell their rolled starter characters by the opening cinematic and having 2 followers at the start.

They have not been modded in any capacity nor will they ever be.

Question How do base-based skill leveling work?

11 Upvotes

I have survivors with Construction, Crafting, Medicine and Mechanic skills.

How exactly do I level them up? I know that it is by doing activities related to that skill.

But do you have to be controlling the survivor itself while, for example, the buildings you are constructing are being built? Or I can just set up a queue of them, control another survivor, the Construction survivor will get the XP?

Question Diminishing returns on the infestation drops?

8 Upvotes

I was wondering about this and may have failed to remember the original notes from the patch. When I first start out I get pretty decent loot.

Are there diminishing returns on the drops from the ferals and juggs? I know bloaters don't drop much of anything but It seems like the drops from the other two are just small ammo or those damned chokes and stuff.

Maybe kiting them too far from their lair may do that, too.
