Urban Dead - The Official Cheap Ass Survivor Thread

I've only got 2 bullets left. Should I spend my nightly AP on searching or attacking with an axe?
 
Killed a zed in caiger, got advanced shotgun training. Now i just need a section of the mall that is powered and safe so i can ammo up.
 
Killed 2 Zeds at Caiger, which is infested with zombies. I'm now located in the Latrobe Building which is right next to the SE corner of Caiger. Now I only need one more level to finish the Civilian tree.
 
if any of you have characters in caiger mall youd better get them out because theres roughly 41 zombies in the last standing part killing off anyone in it.
 
I think this calls for an alliance of darvall groups. I don't think any one group will be able to fight back the army they have in caiger.
 
Thats fine for our own plans, but i think it would be good if we could contact some of the clans from darvall and set up a coordinated effort with them. We've talked to members of the crossman PD before haven't we?
 
Sounds good, you'll have to try to get that to some of the other Caiger Mall groups. Maybe broadcast it over 27.35 around the immediate area, with a tiny.url to the OP? Or something like that.

If a bunch of dumb zombies can work together in a coordinated effort, I'm sure us humans can.
 
Nice job, HotShot.

Anyone know why some of our clan members have a strike through their name? Does that mean they haven't been playing or something?

Exactly, they've gone inactive....and yes, I had broadcasted the entire idea over the Caiger Mall Frequency, with a tinyurl to this thread.

zombies inside of latrobe nt building ( about 9 of them in all) if any of you have characters in there and enough ap id suggest either fighting back or getting away. seems like most of the characters in there are people who arent online now.
 
Well, seeing how hard consumer is I decided to create a cop. I'll leave my consumer as a healbot up in St. Pius (Zeds seem to be putting pressure on it, went down in cade levels). I'll probably make the pilgrimage up there once I've leveled up enough on my cop. Though I do want to make a side trip to the armory to pick up a beret.

Don't put two of your accounts within the same suburb. They will be very inefficient.
 
I went outstide the Auto Shop near Caiger and it's pretty bad all around. Unfortunately, I seem to have seem my IP limit for the day, a first.

Edit: Also pretty much out of bullets, which is also a first ever since I've been around Caiger.

Yeah, I was going to move the consumer out whenever I wanted to move my cop up. Maybe in a suicide attempt into the zombie lines. I wish there was a way to delete characters.

But it'll be a while before my cop even get's anywhere near Darvall. He's currently in the southeast.

Edit: Question, when someone becomes "hidden" does that anti-char abuse still kick in? Basically, is the character still actually there, present and seen by others?

Hollums has been breached.

Zed is Dead, but barricades are low.
Rebuilding now.

EHB for the moment.[/quote]
I've moved to wagner, i knew hollums was to close to the mall.:bomb:
 
If we could get one corner of caiger clear and powered we could make a good assault. I'm fresh out of ammo ATM and searching without a generator is almost pointless. Wish there was another mall nearby to stock up from.
 
I decided to do a little pre-scouting up to Crossman PD earlier today to aquire some guns and ammo for the fight at Caiger. I got there only to realize it had been ruined and there was a zed inside. I whacked him a few times to get him down to around 15 HP but had to retreat back. Lascelles was again only lightly barricaded so I got it back up to VSB and crashed in Hallet. I probably won't have enough AP to do jack shit tonight, but without guns, I'm pretty useless anyway.

EDIT: I do have a fuel can and a toolbox so I could possibly be of some use at Caiger tonight. Just not as an assault force.
 
I was revived today (only 1 day, kudos to the request tool) but had to use up all my ap to stand and heal up, still not full hp but it'll do. Will let ap refill and then make a dash towards Darvell ASAP as it seems we will need every last man. I agree with Jake, if there is 50 organized zombies or so we will need to cooperate with other factions. My zombie character (BadTimeCharlie) has fallen in with a pack of around 40 zeds and we ruined 5-7 Lamport Hills bldgs in the last 24 hrs, killing at least 1 or 2 dozen humans. A good size mob is hard to stop w/out numbers. I'll check in later tonight to see how y'all do fighting the good fight. Until then, good night and good luck.
 
If it hadn't been the mall this wouldn't be so bad, we could all ammo up and blast them back to the stone age. Since it's the mall that makes things a little harder. Our best ammo source is gone.
 
[quote name='JolietJake']I have to say, for a bunch of mindless brain eaters, they certainly are organized.[/quote]


theyve got humans helping them thats why. one of them came into the nearby nt building and destroyed the generator at one point so chances are they use humans who have free running to get into the places they need to take down and do what they can from the inside to make it easier for zombies to get in. not to mention im sure they realized many of the people holed up in these places only play at night or in the evenings so the morning would be a good time to attack.
 
I think we need to fall back and recoup at another ammo source, then make a coordinated siege while tose zombies are wasting time attacking less populated buildings. Though, coordinating this effort might be a difficult task. It seems like they just have too many zombies attacking the front atm.

I would second finding allies to help in the Caiger Defense.

Are there any alternate nearby, and safe ammo sources near Caiger?

PK or not, traitors deserve a traitors death.:bomb:

Do the colors on the map mean anything or they more or less decoration? Also, I just checked out the suburb maps on the wiki and it looks like the infected zone has moved south quite a bit in the past few days.
 
I thought you get 55xp for killing a zombie? Even with all the whacks I took at it, I only got 36. :cry:

Well anyway, I'm at Blakesley Police Dept in Dartside right now with 13ap left for today. I've got a first aid kit, a pistol clip, and a bottle of wine at my side.

Depends on how much health they had to start with.
 
[quote name='Maklershed']I thought you get 55xp for killing a zombie? Even with all the whacks I took at it, I only got 36. :cry: [/quote]Damage done to zombie + Excess damage (say, if you hit an enemy for ten even though he has 2 HP, you'll still get 10 EXP) + 10 bonus EXP for the kill. It's possible to get over 70 EXP from one zombie.
 
[quote name='The Crotch']You level up yet, Plume?[/quote]

I'm Lvl 2 and picked up Hand to Hand last night. I'm at 47 exp right now. Problem is I only hit about every fifth or sixth swing, and haven't been able to find any weapons. I don't know if things respawn or of there is a percentage for finding things, but every hospital or PD i go into (when I can get in) has nothing when I do a search.
 
Looks like Pius' is under siege. They brought down the barricades and one zed got inside. I killed him, dumped him, and barricaded with the help of one of the CDF folks. There are 10 zeds outside right now, though, and I have already had to re-barricade once.
 
[quote name='The Crotch']What class you go, Plume? If you're a firefighter, you start with the best melee weapon there is.[/quote]

Yeah, I did firefighter before I knew it was a good newb class. Problem is I swing and miss so much that I spend about 35 AP to take down a zombie with 30 HP.

Mak, yeah, as I try to get closer to everyone else, I take a few swats as I encounter them. I hit a patch of about four wandering zombies yesterday and took one down and got some hits on others. I have 3 kills under my belt now.
 
I'm at odds at what I want to get when I get a chance to buy a skill. I'm thinking I'll go with that axe/melee accuracy thing. And then I'll get the free running skill after that. I have the same problem as you .. I swing and miss a lot when I attack zombies. It took me close to 30ap to down a zombie with only 15hp left.
 
On the wiki, I believe they have the percentages at which you can find items and weapons and their respective locations. And the optimal time to search for items like others said is when a generator is on and running. My cop is at a police station and he occasionally finds weapons and ammo since it's well lit. Ony my first day as a cop, I got 54 exp (from just pistoling zombies) which I think is fairly good.
 
I'm doing pretty good at finding things. Right now I have 3 first aid kits, some pistol clips, some shotgun shells, wine, and two crucifixes.

It's a bit harder for bodybuilders, though.
 
Alright laddies, very important news re: what the fuck we're doing. Very important. As in, I don't want to say it on here. Suffice it to say, we're heading to a new HQ. As far as I'm concerned, it's vital that we do so. I'll send out a PM soon with details.

I'm at said HQ (fucking work taking up zombie killing time). It appears to be EHB, and with plenty of undead in and around the area. I'm hiding in a nearby hospital and praying to Bob that zombies can't open doors.

Well if velociraptors can do it, I think zombies will be able to.
