  1. Brian I know you prefer Powerhouse, but my preferred cardio skill Marathon will be crucial during this playthrough. What I love about it is I rarely need stamina items when fighting hearts since you get your stamina back just by running in light encumbrance.

  2. 2:34:57 is very painful,,, also the reason why I stopped playing nightmare or lethal..

    many times my max star characters have survived many deadly encounters but died because of a stupid bloater maliciously placed in a chokepoint

  3. 3:11:35 Another reason why this update is 💩 and I can list at least 10 reasons why this update is trash. I don't know why they even bother having a PTR. We fill out the survey, and they take the feedback and completely ignore it and say they'll basically release it to live as is

  4. Great challenge and stream Brian! A couple of thoughts, if you don't mind…

    You might want to move the outpost from the house to the fuel storage tank by the repair shop to get a fuel income.

    Maybe let yourself buy plague cures, but only from the network trader if they show up on the map? Otherwise the only plague cure is, iirc, the one you get from the "retrieve my son's cuddly toy" mission.

  5. Fam!… That is the oddest first 3 survivors rolls I've ever seen based on the rules set up for this series.
    Roll 1: Video game streamer
    Roll 2: Chemistry at tleast a +4 in undertaker cardio
    Roll 3: Cooking with +3 shooting with rotc
    Bwahahahahaha That is so wrong 😅 😂 🤣

  6. I agree with the person who wished all the updates were dlc, so the changes are optional.

    I know you said it's still the same in Standard Zone, but there's still plague territory. I wish that was DLC.

    I don't like being forced to kill PHs just to claim an outpost. I would always save them for "dessert" after I've built up my community.

  7. Yea, I have the Dragunov in one of my forever communities. Believe i found it in Trumbull as well. First and last time I've seen it. I remember being excited, I'd only ever seen that kind of gun in 1 other game, Hitman! So had a nostalgic effect. :^)

  8. I'm attempting to take on the challenge of just surviving in this hell. I haven't played through SoD2 on a level higher than Standard so this is particularly challenging. I got stuck with very disappointing traits in this challenge. Chemistry, Mechanic, and Gardening. We'll assume for the sake of optimism that they'll live long enough to have a garden and make that an okay trait. I made it through day one fairly successfully. Where you found your first Pilato, I found a Military Truck. Where you found your second Pilato, I found an Ambulance. The Ambulance didn't quite make it back to camp as a Feral decided to use it for a Merry-Go-Round ride. It did blow up the Ambulance and almost kill one of my survivors. I found a wealth of healing materials (4 First Aid kits!!!), no melee weapons, the wrong kind of crossbow, and a rifle. I have a decent amount of resources and am debating whether to put in the Workshop or the Garden. I'm giving it a few more hours and if I can't find enough parts to fire up the Outpost traps I'll go with the Workshop. I'm following the rules you set down and honestly if I survive 3 days I'll consider it a win. The Ferals and I are eyeing each other up . . . and there are more of them than my guys!

  9. This is going to be fun watching you trying this challenge! 😉

    You have 22 material so I would upgrade the command center so you can have another outpost. Then I would try to take down the awakened plague heart in the north with the resources you have. Then try to balance the outposts. One food outpost, one medicine outpost and upgrade those if you have the influence to negate some of those resource losses. And the third outpost I would make either a fuel or ammo outpost so you get some of that over time, since you need those resources for your traps.

    Good luck with the challenge! 😊

  10. Hey man. Really enjoying the play through. Giving the challenge a go myself although not in Ptr as I'm on xbox. Just to let you know I found a plague cure in the tragic medical camp on the North West Side of the map. Might be worth a look? All the best and thanks for the content 👍
