Please post your tips that you can think of and i will move them into the Guide. These are tips for hardcoe mode. I know the game is not out yet but with the knowledge you have of the game put your tips up so we can complete a survival guide before the game comes out then we can add even more to it.

Read my story: http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1117643-the-settlement-the-wasteland-book-1/(Adventure story about survival in the wasteland) Also try the fun http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1117984-build-a-colony/page__gopid__16427332&#entry16427332 Game.

carry only the ammo for your wepon. (dont carry 50,000 5mm rounds)

Thank you OP. You raised my hype on hardcoe Mode. This will be exciting!

if your on a looting spree pick up anything that dosnt have weight or has more value then weight ((5g-1cap is a no go)( unless it can realy help you survive)

Line the toilet seats with sandwich parts when I take a poop. No Germy bum for the kid, old boy...Not for me...

Do not attempt to kill a deathclaw with your fists

follow your enemy and wait for them to go to sleep bfore sneaking in and murdering them all

any silent weapon is a godly weapon

Oh nice, great idea for a thread! Hard core mode will definitely be a test of logistics. Stashing water & food near a cave you want to venture into is a great idea. May want to also think about extra ammo & weapons.

I also think a companion will be almost necessary when playing the hard core mode for just for the extra supplies alone.

Don't venture out with more than you need and chose carefully. I'm sure carrying your entire inventory with you like you can in Fallout 3 will be a super bad idea.

find a path >around< the cliff, not down it.

avoid pissing off a faction badly, they are going to kill you.

all i got
1. Always get sleep before a long adventure. :snoring:
2. Boone is a good companion to take with you, he can see enemies before they become a problems to your health.

Okay, I know some threads seem weird since the game isn't even out yet but this one takes the cake.
We have no way of knowing how long it'll take for dehydration to kick in and what it's effects will be.
So this thread is 1 month ahead of itself.

hungry? well now killing a mirlurk is a bad idea.

Kill you enemies before they kill you... Best survival tip...EVER.

actually 3 weeks and 18 hours

Play FWE

And lower your expectations.

<_< you missed some minutes, seconds and milliseconds there buddy.

steam didnt say the minutes sec's and miliseconds

The Survival Skill is your friend.
Also, for those specializing in Guns: (IF)Shotguns can use slugs along with normal ammo, effectively making them rifles, remember keep this in mind if you want to cut down on weight from your weapons.

Captain Obvious saved us again! :superhero:
Yeah, good idea to create this thread. Now I can prepare for my adventures on the wasteland.

Tip: Avoid going out at night, there are bloodsvcke-
Nevermind...

Guide has been Updated
