So cute & creepy

It makes sense that one baby

Handle with care

What do the poo grenades even do like idgi

When you encounter BT’s are you supposed to get caught and then that giant squid pops up that you have to kill? Or like are you supposed to stealth past them

You get tonnes of chiral crystals for killing the "animals" but early game killing them is a slog so stealth past whenever you can. Mid to late game it's much more viable to fight them, and you can also stealth kill the BT's while they're floating so they never even become an oily hands puddle.

Also sometimes (I think it's when the hands are a more gold colour rather than black?) they'll pull you straight under and trigger a voidout if they catch you, so you want to wade out of there fast.

The peepee and poopoo grenades... Honestly I don't think I ever carried or used any throughout the whole game . You'll get hematic grenades (blood) relatively early on, before you really need to fight anything, and I've never seen a need for the others .

Oh... the Internet says they can be used to reveal more weak spots on large enemies . That would be quite useful.

Also apparently poopoo grenades lure BT's to where they're thrown so you can use them to aid in sneaking past.

I played the whole game without knowing any of this. Lolz.

But yeah, I'd say sneak as much as possible until

Spoiler:

the first Warzone part when you'll unlock hematic weapons

And then a mix of fight/avoid. It would take forever to get through the game if you fought every time tbh.

Yeah i’m like 12 hours in i think i got the blood bomb things quite a while ago

I just reached the weather station and did the quest where you have to build a safe house

It’s such a pain having to run back and forth with metals/ceramics to build the roads

It feels like 70% of my time in this game has been doing that

I’ve almost finished building the entire route 23 road though i just have like 3 paver things left

Technically, you don't have to do it, but IMO once it's done it's well worth it to have them built. Thinking about it though there'll be less eople actively playing now so that'll make it more of a chore... On release it was quite common to have random people add resources to help. I'm not 100% sure how the multilayer mechanic works there to be honest. But often I'd log off over night and come back to find that someone had supplied all of the metal or ceramic.

Also (game mechanics spoiler)

Spoiler:

I don't know if you've got Ziplines yet, but I set up a zip line network that covered a good 80% of the map and it was so satisfying

Spoiler:

i haven’t got ziplines yet but that sounds amazing omg

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

Are there any other roads besides the one from lake knit to south knot?

I’ve seen like one paver (the one near the craftman) besides the ones on that route

They start at Lake Knot and head south all the way to South Knot... but they also branch off just north of the Distribution Centre that sits about half way between the two... and from there it heads West, then north/west up round the mountains, before winding all the way South to Mountain Knot... ... and not to be the bearer of bad news... ... but the path west from the crossroads round the mountain and down is quite a bit longer than the one from the crossroads heading directly south to South Knot .

From Mountain Knot onwards it's all zipline fun though . Of course you do have to scramble up a lot of snowy mountains to find good spots for ziplines ... BUT so satisfying once they're set up.

Also

Spoiler:

Mountain Knot is actually on roughly the same longitude as the Weather Station, and from the Mountain Knot side it's possible to get to the peak and set up a zipline network right over the top of the mountain as a shortcut... which is a huge distance "up and round".

tHE ZIPLINES ARE SO MUCH FUN OMG

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

iM FURIOUS
