As I understand it, you can only have one safehouse at a time.

So, Aparently I'm in Dartside hold up in the Shapr Blvd Police station, I suppose I'll start making my way out in hopes of linking up with other Dakknauts...anyone even close to where I'm located?

Grakmar has made it through the zombie-infested areas and is breathing once again. I'm in Eastonwood and got level 2, so I can free run.

I should be at the mansion tomorrow.

Currently holed up with Ephraim Pitman (Manchu) in West Boundwood. It's been an epic journey filled with PKer, Gkers, and random zombie break ins. It's slow leveling as a scout.

I've made it to the mansion. If anyone's injured, I can heal you- just let me know. I could use the XP to get diagnosis, and then I wouldn't need to be told

I'm at the police station in Wykewood. Make your way over this way, buddy!

Can you give items to other players?

nope. you can use items on other players (first aid kits, revivication syringes etc....) but you can't give your buddy a shotgun.

Damnit...
That sucks...

It does.

But, that means that new players will actually have to scrounge for those important items you only ever need 1 of (Knife, Fireaxe, Crowbar, Flak Jacket, etc), rather than just being given one by an older player.

True but it also makes it much harder for survivors to work as a team as opposed to a collection of individuals...

Also, very true. This does feel more like a single-player game in multi-player mode than a true MMO.

But, I'm enjoying it so far. I just wish I could do more per day.

Man, leveling with a scout is a pain. I'm at a whopping 15xp.

I'm a private with 5 exp, so....

Yeah, but once you stock up on pistol ammo, you can unleash some hell - my private that I started the day after my other guy is at like 55, it just took a while to find a pd that I could get into.

Carl Smickey the firefighter just bought his first skill, Hand to Hand. Time to bring the pain to some zeds.

Lack of PDs near the mansion sucks...

Obrek IMO, free running is better. The fire axe is better than the H2H.

And everything is better than firearms.

Actually Mel, firearms were good earlygame weapons.

I've been downed by zeds at chudley, going to revive and then get the frick up to the mansion, go hunting for axes and so forth.

No they aren't. They never actually hit and then you run out of ammo and can't do anything with them.

*sighs* Read the fething WIKI for once. at the beginning of UD, they only had police/consumer (civilian) and fireman. Everyone went police.

And that changes anything how? Oh wait. It doesn't.

I've been beefing up my firearms skills and my safehouse is a police station so I have been putting hot lead onto zombies like it's nobody's business. I love my shotguns. I've got something like 4 of them.

Question:

Is it bad to end up in a place that isn't your safehouse? I fell asleep in a church in a green neighborhood, thinking that I'd most likely be okay.

Your safehouse gives you a 10% chance of an action not costing any AP. This effectively gives you +5 AP if all of your actions are in the safehouse. Otherwise, there's no benefit (or detriment) to having a safehouse.

Also, firearms are great. They're essentially AP banks. On a per-AP basis, fireaxe is the best weapon to use. However, if there aren't a lot of zombies around, you can search for firearms and ammo, effectively storing up AP for when you do find zombies.

Actually, most people went fireman. The Fireaxe is an amazing weapon.

I've finally made it!

Now, it's time to rest and recuperate before I go scrounging for supplies.

Also, if anyone wants some XP, I could use some healing (in the NE corner of mansion)

@biccat: "Scout Safehouse" let's you get extra AP in a safehouse but anyone can set a safehouse. I am betting that MR has simply set a safehouse and doesn't have the "Scout Safehouse" skill yet.

@MR: Without "Scout Safehouse," setting a building as your safehouse basically only does one thing: gives you directions to your safe house from where you are currently located.

I just got my ass kicked by a zombie while I was asleep. Not ending in my safe house was a bad idea.

It has nothing to do with your safehouse.

Don't end outside a building with EHB.

Even then you're not safe. Some pkiller punk just killed one of my characters, so now I'm taking it out on nearby zombies.
