Priorities

[flospy 8]

T'sup everyone.

I was just wondering that, when you first respawn, what are your top priorities?

I usually hit the big cities - Cherno or Electro - to find my gear to survive.

In descending order, my priorities are..

- Drink

- Food

- Water bottle

- Hatchet

- Hunting knife

- Box of matches

- Primary weapon + ammo

- Map

- Secondary weapon + ammo

I just respawned, and within an hour I got all of these things, except the secondary weapon. I have the mags though! Just need a revolver or M1911. For now, I'm set to live in the wild forever. I came across two bodies literally next to each other at the Electro fire station and got most of my stuff from there.

Weapon, water, food, knife, matches

1.Morphine

2.The rest

A broken leg cares not for your survival supplies.

Matches usually give me a problem. Weird that you're lower priority (matches hatches weapon water bottle) completely eliminate your top 2 priorities.

Mine is

-weapon

-matches

-hatchet

-water bottle

I like to be able to sustain without going into own ASAP.

Weapon first, don't care what it is

Can food/drink

Then tools and hunting equips

I didn't put matches as my top priority for sometimes there are places that you can light without matches, and I could use those. I usually don't leave a city until I find matches though.

As for the morphine, Dekey, I choose not to concentrate on medical supplies all that much because I'm too cautious. If I get hit by a zombie, I usually do have a bandage on me but I've not once broken my leg. I don't worry about injury, I've only needed to bandage myself three times, and not use anything else.

Your opinion will change immensely the 1st time you snap your leg and have every supply in the world bar morphine, your only choice being suicide (you can't even just hit respawn now!). It's absolutely essential to carry. Especially since once you strike out north, the only way you will find any is randomly in military loot piles.

Also keep in mind that leg breaks are very random. The 1st hit from a Z can break your leg. Closing a door can break your leg. Heck sometimes it even just randomly Alt F4s on life and snaps itself.

Crawling from NWAF to Cherno takes a really long time...
