hey now hoo now, they dont punt you into orbit any longer.

Its more of a 'love tap' now.

The Love Tap of Doom.

No, the Wright Tap

Wrighten with Love

Turns out, trying to 1v1 a Zombie Master by just repeatedly hitting it and hoping it will die is a BAD idea!

[pisskop]

Masters are top tier monsters.

even in coregame, theyre top tier.  And one of the few 'smart' zeds.



Your best bet, if youre stuck in early to mid game, is to not take risks.  May sound more boring, but it really isnt, because all this dying is allowing you to gain experience and the ability to properly assess threats.

'War is taught by the survivors', and in this case it means that many people tend to have a slightly more cautious approach, or otherwise bring overwhelming firepower.

I used to keep an autoshotgun in my ankle holster!  Remember the good ole' days when rivtech shit was 100% better than everything else instead of only 95%?

But I did so so I could pound surprise hulks into the ground quickly.  Carry guns, run away, prepare beforehand.

In my previous playthrough, they were pretty easy to slam down with my Quarterstaff, but I had some pretty damn good kevlar gear on so it wasn't a problem for me to tank damage.

Decent iron or steel armor is your friend. Or hell, if you're got medieval mod on bring a shield.

What's up with zombie masters being that tier anyway? I find common acid spitters and electrozeds to me leagues more dangerous.

[Blood_Librarian]

I believe mobs near them evolve faster.

Specifically, it's the zombie master's special attack - they touch a lower-tier zombie, and they evolve into something worse. I don't know what it's like now, but when I last played, a group of normal greens could turn into a mixed bag of brutes, shockers, shocker brutes, necromancers, predators, spitters, etc.

Then again, I don't remember the master itself being too much of a threat, but if it has support...

You know, the broken cyborg is an interesting challenge if you start with no electronics or first aid skill.

To this day, I don't know what possessed me to make a profession with every single faulty bionic available.

I have absolutely never had that happen.

...That I've noticed

[Majestic7]

Is there a way to fix broken bionics you have installed instead of removing them? I've never had a character with faulty bionics, so don't know.

[Blood_Librarian]

Nope. if you fail them, entropy occurs and they are useless or even dangerous.

So I felt like starting playing this again. How is the z-level stuff doing?
