I need to work out how to tackle the mall properly. I always head down there, wander around for a while and fail to find an easy route in, then panic as my APs start to run low and leg it back to Saltrow. Once I know the route in, I can start to build up some goodies.
The mall buildings have been ruined and thus won't be searchable.
To take back the mall, we need a safe route in, then clear the mall of all zeds, fix up building damage to make them not ruined, then barricade up to safety. Fixing ruined building damage is harder if it's been ruined for a long time - you need to install and fuel a generator (which are fairly hard to find - even in powered Factories).
I quite want to get some clothes and a few other items from the mall which would be made easier if it was not ruined and powered. Anyone up for making a run on it at some point tomorrow? If we get a few of us together, we should be able to get it repaired and powered while leaving enough APs left over to get some searches completed.
Incidentally, I don't have a generator, fuel or a toolbox, so we'd need all of those.
Goodson Arms has 5 zombies inside. I have closed the door and barricaded best I can so they are locked in. I swung my axe at a few and took a few HPs of one. But had to leave.
Saltrow's fallen again, two zeds inside. I'm hiding out in Baum Bank (two blocks south) as I have no APs. It's ruined and there are no barricades (as seems to be the case for most of the buildings around Saltrow), but at least there are no zeds inside.
Saltrow's ruined, everybody's dead, five zeds inside, two outside (minus the one I just killed, sorry if that was any of you). I'm still hiding out in the unbarricaded Baum Bank. Is anyone else still alive?
Okay, I'm up to 45 APs, so in a couple of hours or so I'll be heading to Opalinska via the Necrotech building. Be there if you want a shot at being revived.
If anyone who is there could give me a headcount a bit before 7, that would save me searching for more syringes than I can use.
I'm considering using the Wardropper Arms as a temporary base for reviving people from, assuming that it's not infested with zeds, as I like the name and last I checked, Saltrow was out. I'll update here with where I end up.
Dammit, Dewell has been ruined, there are two zeds inside, I foolishly attacked them a few times instead of just searching around them. I started running low on APs and found a safehouse. I'll have to try again tomorrow.
On the plus side, the Wardropper is still barricaded, so there's a vaguely safe place to try again from tomorrow.
I'm currently hiding out in the unsecured, unbarricaded Cary Bank. Hoping I'll go unnoticed. Should have full APs at around 6pm, so can either try to run a few revives, or head to Saltrow. It may be worth getting a few more revived before attempting to retake Saltrow depending on how many zeds are in there. I also have no ammo. Let me know what needs done first.
