literally first tip I fucked up...sitting here at level 24 with 1200-1400 copper ap ammo for each of my guns, this gon be a bad vid for me boys

quick tip: if you're tired of pressing W+Shift to run while exploring on foot... press ~ to auto run

Another tip: - Dont refine portable gas into premium gas for your vehicle, it's less efficient. - Dont repair your vehicle until health bar turned red, the repair cost stay the same either 1% damage or 90% damage. - Dont put all Eclipse Cortex into purifier all at once, your defence might fail fighting large waves. - Destroy your purifier after successful base defence. The drop is spawned inside the machine.

Best tip from me : get the festering gel deviation, each time you use him , he gives u full hp and all your insanity is removed, also return it to the cradle early so u have him again faster.

I love building so I went across the street from a friend who pulled me into the game and there was a butte, a rocky fat pillar of rocks and grasses and a few trees on top, and I wrapped my house around it getting to the top where I had a wonderful rooftop space with a great view of the sea and the farms inland. I played about 18 hours just learning the game, unlocking stuff. I then placed that star dust generator thing and below me a lot of nasties appeared. By the time I had fought them all off, half my house was destroyed....never saw it coming, no one told me about that, never saw any YT videos mentioning it...until now. I wish i had watched this video YESTERDAY!!!!

Another tip is to not upgrade weapons you find. Weapon you find isn't a weapon you own, so you can't repair them. Only upgrade weapons you can make yourself since then it will say you own the weapon and can repair it.

Wow! You don't know you can move your ENTIRE base!? YES! Every 10 min you can move your ENTIRE base, intact, for free!!! Just go to a buildable zone, Press B, then Z. Then you will see your ENTIRE base. Press ` (the key to the left of 1) to enter fly mode. Place your base and enjoy!!!

maybe someone mentioned it further down maybe not, but...the very first thing to do is at character creation screen, there is a small human icon in the lower right corner, you can mouseover it to see additional info about stats and perks you get depending on how you make the character (big-smal, thin or fat) which affects gameplay.

An added note for finding gas. Go on small roads. The cars on the main roads usually don't have gas. The ones on small dirt paths or side roads do.

I love f2p grind games. Going into this one i already knew what to do. Im in the second section atm and i built my base right in between 2 major strongholds and literally as close to the waypoint as possible. Got me a beautiful mountain sode view now, a garden, 12 deviants and ita going good. I love the difficulty progression. I was scared id get bored of slicing up zombies all day. So far, one of the better f2p games ive played in a long time. Thanks for the videos fam

If you hunt rabbits you can get a deviant that collects meat and hide. Also you should stack up on acid as that's a late game Ressource for a lot of stuff, you can make food that increases acid gain

When cooking, you can select different meats to give you different buffs on the dish you make. Like more HP, Stamina etc.

I dont think setting your base up on nowhere is a mistake. Actually it is better to set it up somewhere where u gonna be able to get something in specific instead of getting somewhere, because at the end you still gonna TP, and getting close to bases is not good if you just gonna defeat the monolith and move to the next one. For me it is a mistake to be close to a base or tp. Your home is an extra TP. Also, way better to srt it up on a polluted area so you can get acid easily 👍🏼 And energy links are way easy to get, i craft T5 stuff everytime and make acid with sulfur and energy links and still have like 300k each time while selling silver/gold ores or the chips

If you destroy the supports of your base, all benches and structures refund their their mats, including stored mats in chests, to the vault! So you can ver6 quickly breakdown and then build from scratch. Make sure to save a blueprint of your base first so you can restore it if you want.

Re the Ammo, steel ammo just needs the ingots, no stardust resource, and with a few digby's you'll have almost infinite steel and the % damage buff is decent, no reason to stick with copper :)

My suggestion is to find one of the boss encounters in the world, build your base near it and just farm it. Dunni what daily max is, but this makes sure to hit it

7:54 if your backpack has a light flashing like this you can use your finger snap (default Q) and find a hidden enemy that will drop a chest with great loot.

The base location tip is moot as soon as you unlock farming. Melt gravel to glass and start collecting orange seeds. I've basically hit the selling cap with all of the vendors and it is only tuesday. Orange Soda.

My roommate expanded her territory and put the device that attracts the monsters far away from her base. Her house was barely touched 😂

Ok good tips buuuuuttt. Here’s mine for new players. You will get a plain for the (throwing daggers) just like the bow you can get them back form kills but unlike the bow THEY HIT HARD for no reason. Body shoots are 900 an head shoots are 1200+ I used them all the way up to the spider boss and they did not let me down. There really cheep to make to only 2 scrap an 1 wood.So ya I say from level 1-25 there great to use

This game snuck up on me from out of nowhere lol. Wish i had beta tested it and got some of those sweet rewards. Great game so far. Shattering my expectations of F2P games with Gacha mechanics. Let's hope they don't mess it up.

If you go into build option if you have the materials you can just replace the wooden walls with brick, etc. without demolishing and rebuilding from the ground up. saves you time plus it gives you the wood back.

Biggest mistake early is not using the crossbow for elite and bosses as well as melee weapons for mobbing. Carries all the way to lvl 40ish. That's all new players need to know tbf ^^.

Thanks for the tips, these are great! On the sanity meter, you can also rest in a bed to get it back up, so save those sanity gummies for when u really need them

adicional tip for hides, crocodiles always gives 2 and theres many at harborside at southeast.

Small tip. Sprint can be switched from hold to press once in options. You don't have to hold the button non stop that way. Tip 2 check car wracks near roads. That's how you get fuel. The less travelled/non main roads have more fuel. Tip 3. Once you beat the first monolith there is a chance to get a gel deviant. That boy doesnt attack but works as a baricade you can hide behind. He also HEALS you and recovers SANITY when you stand near him. Amazing way to save on healing early game.

Some really important stuff that was not mentioned in the video and fixing some of this tips: - Energy currency (base location): spend at will, the video don't take in consideration that soon you unlock the golden memetics to make chips, silver and gold bars. It will supply more than enough energy for you, it's the most easy to get currency in the game. It is only rare if you only consider the rewards from quests and dungeons, but the game has some op mechanics to farm energy with this golden memetics. - Auto farming: I also made this mistake of stacking digby boys, they and the beavers appears to be really good, but when you have chainsaw and drill unlocked, they are almost useless. My 5 digby boys take one day to farm what I get in 2 minutes. I recommend to use all digby boys that you have, but don't waste time going after silver ores as I did. - Important resources: yeah, rawhide is important, but you can easily come back at any point in the game and farm it. The really important resources you should worry about is the ones you get from scrapping stuff and looting, like electronics, scrap metal, acid, rubber, etc. This ones you will need during the whole game and you actually need to go and explore places to get, if you are re-exploring the same place, the rewards are lower, so even tough they are not limited, it gets progressively harder to farm those, so don't waste too much of them, like crafting every tier of every piece of armor and weapon. Or wasting them on those defenses early in the game. Keep as many as this as you can. - Fuel: If you are playing objectively, just going from Loot Point A to Loot Point B, and not just travelling for fun, you will never run out of fuel, specially after you unlock refinery. I'm level 50 and never had to go farm fuel, just the one's I get from general looting are more than enough

No need for the armor and weapon crates - save your memetic points. Just disassemble regularly.

Regarding link energy, atm im on 100k+, you can get one of omni specs into crafting combo chipset which sells for 12k per one sold and mats to craft it are plentiful and very easy to get. It takes 60 sec to craft one. You can craft them for other ppl as well so if you in decent hive/warband you just need one person to have it. To sell it for link energy got to any vendor in any settlement and sell/trade it. With phase 1 you have access to 3 vendors currently. Ofc vendors have limited amount of link energy (i think it will reset as wel) but when you buy items from the vendor the link energy can be reclaimed by selling the combo chip again. So in the end teleporting aint matter for me. Other tip the logs are becomes obsolete as soon as you get electricity and you progress to higher levels. Make sure to upgrade base from wood to stone and higher later on for purification events. Regarding ammo, human enemies drop gunpowder and with bit of copper/steel ingots you got return from what you use to craft which equals your point with xbow (use what you like) What i absolutely agree is the lack of hides, the material im always lowest. As well with electricity you can automate lots of system. What i recommend is placing base next to sea water (salt), river lake (fish) You can rename your storage boxes (when you open the box on top is edit button) You can as well access preset base blueprints if you dont like building and store bp (blueprint) of your current build as well (name it etc and see the cost of it).

Me and my 200k energy will continue to build out in random parts of deadsville

In regards to the base/town teleporting and running out of energy link cash (the currency you use to fast travel) you actually get a perks that allows you to craft microchip sets, gold, and silver for fairly cheap that sell for 6-12k energy link so the energy link cost is not to hard to get ahold of

My biggest tip for this game.. SLEEP IN YOUR BED. IT INCREASES YOUR HEALTH AND FIXES YOUR SANITY.

A quick note you do not get weapon Fragments from Bosses you only get the weapon itself. you cant repair it tho. They said in CBT they might do it but it was scrapped!

I've been playing The Division 2 for some years now so I catched up pretty quick on some of this game's mechanics. The copper ammo thing I was like "do I really want to sacrifice the scarce yellow rarity material I have for just 4% more damage at level 10? No I don't"

A great tip is to get a Festering Gel deviant, of which you get at the first mono boss. It heals both hp and sanity. Once I got it, I have not used any healing or sanity items, it is just that good. A trick to make it better is to put it down to heal, then once you are full you recall it. The way deviants work is it will recharge from where it was deactivated at. So if you use 25% of its power then you will only need to recharge that 25%. And that 25% power will heal about 50% of your hp. If that did not sell you on it, it also heals your team.

Tip from me is get the samurai deviation from the event tasks after meleeing 200 deviants you will get it. It does great dmg

Deviant display case wiring tip. You can daisy chain the display case wiring. I see some people connect each one to a socket.

Instead of sleeping in your bed use the festering Gel it heals and cures sanity takes no time at all, in fact you can save a lot of activators by using the Festering Gel between fights. Even in fights it can block enemies and heal you, Best utility Deviant.

this was really helpful for someone who has not long started x

The hands-down easiest way to restore sanity in the game is to build a bed in your base and lie in it. This also restores your health (which saves you on activators) and doesn't take long at all to completely restore your health and sanity with practically no resource drain in the process (other than the logs and cloth that went into the bed obviously lol). Alternatively, grilled mushrooms restore sanity, so if you're finding more mushrooms than beets, that might be viable for you.

I hope they really bring this to console even though I don’t have the spare time to game I use to when I was young I still enjoy nice grind game like this

Also, you don't need to go crazy on fuel. Grab some once in a while, but you won't run out easily.

Agree on everything except where you show how to rebuild the house. If you build off the original structure the foundation will be perfectly aligned with the boundary. If someone rebuilds like you showed, they will be misaligned and be even more upset. As you stated, plan accordingly so you don't have to rebuild, but if you do, be certain to build off the original foundation.

not my mistake being the 1st one on this list LMAO thanks for the tips! :D

For generating Rawhide/meat, farming Lethal Rabbit is absolutely essential to me. You have to skin rabbits (beaches to the south/southwest are great for this) to get the drop. It's about a 1% drop rate but it is totally worth it. Generating rawhide all day as well as assorted meats (which I use currently to make jerky).

Some tips to mid-late game Have a farm of some size. Why? ALCOHOL. Not only they hydrate a lot, but they give sanity back AND for half hour, your sanity won't drop except from few sources like the torchheads lights.

Run cables for convenience, same with pipes, as you can press L in the build menu and hide them. No need for anything other than a redundant path in case you lose a wall. I'd also recommend keeping the footprint of your building a touch smaller, helps when relocating it as you don't need as much ultra flat ground. I'm about to trigger the resonator to get the season goal but otherwise I've had no need for defence yet but I've already placed stone fences around the outside of the foundations as a sacrificial layer and made sure I have the Tinkerer identity for 100% extra stone structure durability. I may have spent a little time in survival crafting games in the past... :P Love the game though and some nice tips, especially about the ammo. So many resources wasted and the only reason to craft anything other than copper at the moment is steel rifle ammo for turrets.

16:00 another useful trick with sanity - if you have a fridge, make ice before going out somewhere and you won't need to farm beets / sugar, although ice spoils very quickly

all solid tips 👍 another I'd add is if you're running low an energy links (since you need it for everything from leveling up to upgrading stuff), there are merchants that you can sell to. I didn't know about it for the longest time since there is no one who will buy your crap in deadsville, but there is one in Meyer's Market. they have a cap on how much you can sell but that refreshes after so many days (i believe a week) so try to get all those links before it resets (in my game it was some 50k per week you could make). you can pick the crops at meyers market and sell for a small sum or cook it at your outpost for a heftier sum (usually 10 per raw and 15-20 for cooked).

Biggest tip never discard anything in game. Even if you are overweight and need to drop a bunch of weight. The go to move is to sell it for astral dust. First click is I for inventory, then the dreamworld icon in bottom right.

One of the actual useful video guides. ty bro

My tip : If you enjoy playing the game and you want to keep playing for a long time, consider buying something. I know its an F2P, but servers and everyone involved in the game's development requires money to keep the lights on. P.S. I'm not from the company. I'm just a developer who plays video games. I know how hard it can be to convert an idea into lines of working codes.

you lose out buying blueprints in wish machine, you get more for your buck gambling for the desired item cause you get all the extra fluff with it

Ya.. make sure you blueprint your house. When you are purifying your stardust, them nasties will literally destroy your house if not careful. Make blueprint just in case.

The auto miner are great, but they are so slow. I'm at a point now where I got a Solar Drill from a teammate with 15% and 100% bonus on ores, and, oh buddy, I'm hammering a bunch of copper ore away for 30 seconds and have literally 1500 of them in my pocket. It mines so fast the ticker on the left side of the screen isn't stopping for the next 1 1/2 minute. And the best is, it repairs via solar. Auto mining is dirt against this.

Beaver is honestly a waste once you have the chainsaw. One tree will give hundreds in mere seconds when logged while the beaver only givinga fraction of that after a full day. There are better deviants for that unit than beaver.

As for the base placement you can move your whole base every 10 minutes. Dont believe it costs anything, but havent looked into it or if it stops/changes plant growth or deviant mood.

My sanity is at stake when I see that yellow beeping on your backpack and you wouldn’t press Q to get the morphic crate

Learned A LOT watching this video. Thanks for the tips!!

A couple of things….. first, in regards to the purifier, don’t build it near your main house. Build it as far away as possible so that for the most part, the things will ignore your base. Second, you can save a blueprint of your base at anytime and use it to rebuild if you don’t for some reason build the purifier away from the main base.

You can also unlock the rpg blueprint and then use the reclaim button to get your points back and still have the blue print for the rpg and you’ll get your points back

I can place my base anywhere and teleport knowing fruit tea exists to sell in bulk at the vendors in each town. Energy cred is a thing I don't worry about.

10:48 I think the radio has to be on a station playing music because I had the radio 📻 on the bottom station and it didn't give me the check mark and when i changed it to the classical station it gave me it

Note on the fish, different fish give different buffs such as fire rate 10% or weakspot damage.

You don't have to destroy your base to rebuild, you can overlay higher tier walls/floors/etc over lower tier in place. As long as you start with a square 3x3 base, it's easy to add on. My tip: early on, leave a hole in the center of your ceiling (roofing is decorative, ignore it early. ceilings add a second floor) Put a rain collector or two indoors. Since you have a hole, you don't need stairs (which suck to place and eat space) to your roof, just a boost to climb up to a second layer of space

I honestly want to say, that this game is just fun for me. I have played so many games, elden ring ,skyrim, world of Warcraft, league of legends, etc. I never had the itch scratched, but this game does it for me.

I did almost all of these without looking anything up. Guess I had good intuition.

The double bed you can get from the season shop regains your health much quicker.

Damn, thank you for that bit on AP ammo. Been kinda wondering about this but hadn't taken the time to look into it. Great vid!

Great stuff to know since i now started playing.

I like making mistakes in a game because learning from my mistakes is part of the fun and value games impart. Also....trolololol.

1 tip my server does not no, when you cut down the big ass thick tree using the chainsaw, you get between 490-600 wood, i usually get 550, but, its not the trick, where you cut it from is the trick, if you cut it from the side there are no matts and on the other side there are lot of ore vines, when the tree falls and hits the ground it will break all the ores and you will get 2 birds in 1 cut.

Imagine your bed actually getting RID of your sanity 💀

Brilliant content mate, thanks for the vid. Helps massively 👌

13:55 as for the gas, cars in dirtroad will have more gas than cars in main road. for RP standpoint is because cars in main road has been looted by the world

i just started and i carfted little bit of the AP ammo but I realized that gotta be waste of stardust even when I don't know what is used for but since it looks like rare material I cant use it for something so expendable like ammo, really good video especially about the autofarming tips I'm definitely going to implement that

Agree with most tips except crossbow it's cool and all but you can just melee if you wanna save ammo the revolver or sniper is a significantly better option early on for killing enemies because you one shot or 2 shot headshot them. Ammo should never be an issue if you are killing enemies and looting you will get plenty of acid which is the hardest part of ammo to get and you can kill more then one enemy at a time before reloading. Esp if you have the overdrive pistol option that reloads when you headshot.

I have a tip for you @CreativeGaming. WHEN YOUR CRADEL IS FLASHING LIKE THAT THERES A MEMETIC MYSTERIOUS CRATE MONSTER NEAR YOU. Please Press Q, kill it, get the loot. And you probably can't build in certain areas in your current base because you can't build on its spawn. Lol that flashing backpack was driving me nuts. I know you did that on purpose.

it's more efficient to buy the blueprints you want from the wish machine than wait on the RNG

For making a base, if you put your base near a cliff. During purification, the enemy will spawn on the cliff, which they will have no way of going down from there.

Thanks...good info except I disagree on the gas statement. Using a vehicle is actually bad for your game un that your not going to stop for materials and others as much. Every game I've played with transportation always gets harder when you unlock it due to skipping so many materials

U can make copper bars and u can go sell them in the trader they have a weekly amount of money they will let u sell it for. easy way of getting energy points every day

Fire rate does not come from the bullets it’s done with configuring the weapon, bare in mind to unlock tiers you need ammo and a gun to take on a large deviant to earn XP and chippers rtc

You can only have 10 or so isolation chambers for tour work force, right? I mean if your going to have that many devients around, or is there something I don't know and you can have more chambers.

get the better bed if you can, it has a better benefit.

Gravel is yhe worst thing right now, i stopped farming because im wait for the season 2 to get the drill

yeah i fucked up early game and made AP rounds. at 50 now, im struggling to even get enough for calibrations

when you said "dont put your base in the middle of nowhere" thats exactly where my base is at LMAO. but yeah its fun since its good for puryfying and also a flat land. I dont mind traveling. also, you can get the gold scar from the first one on the wish machine too, since I got it so I know you can

There is a trader in each town. Im currently at 100k energy from selling silver ingots.

Good tips! Thank you for the video!

Rebuilding your base isn't that big of a deal. Deconstructing things return all of the materials, so you're not losing anything.

If you take one of the specializations that let you craft high-value items, base location no longer matters. I have over 125K links at level 50 and I will be buying out all of the vendors again today because I've been grabbing silver and gold while grinding tungsten.

I’ve never played a game like this and I’m so lost on all the mechanics and how to do basically anything 😂

You not collecting the Morphic Crate at your base was driving me nuts.

That ap ammo is good option still, you can get the stardust amout back in like 5-10mins

Recommend not to use the wish machine, for you can buy the bps you want

this game is so addicting,

Helpful! Thanks

You want a weapon that is cheap, eco friendly like a crossbow, AND stupidly powerfull early game? Make thowing knifes. I made them for the journey entry and was spechless how much damage they do for the cheap price. They do around a 1000 dmg each, BUT as it is with arrows, if you miss, they get destroyed.

You can sell stuff to the vendor in the towns for energy.
