Fighting Hints:
—————
* Combat in this game has a steep learning curve, it’s best to just jump into it to learn how to do it properl
* Knives can be used to back-stab enemies who are unaware of your presenc Get close to
them with their back turned/Wait for them to get close to you while hiding, and when the the knife circle turns to a yellow and changes you can back-stab for massive damage/
instant quiet kill Note they are not completely quiet, a single shut door and very l
ittle distance will still make enough sound to set off another enem
* Melee weapons are some of the strongest weapons in the game, and can also be used in
combination with a firearm to increase your fighting potentia

that only as necessary (and if you have room left in your pack Finally, make sure you
bring along tools that you can use to make the scavenging process go more smoothl
You’ll lose some space, but you’ll be more effectiv
Sleep by Day:
————-
The most important time to be on your guard is at night, when the environment outside
is most treacherou You want to have your population well rested by that time, so they
can guard against potential issue Have people sleep when it’s bright outside, but make
sure you have someone crafting gear to help with the wa Then have that individual
sleep at night, while his companions are handling the defens
Food Is Precious:
