You can take the brave trait with Police officer occupation which costs same as veteran alone but you get a massive panic reduction and an extra level in aiming and nimble + the Police station spawn chance ; also your character builds a passive panic resistance as the game progresses so that + the brave trait you'll barely ever panic few weeks into the apocalypse ; and if you do that's why beta blockers exists so i personally prefer this combo over veteran

If you have aiming level 0, and absolutely cannot find a shotgun, you can use a pistol to shoot pinned down zombies (either pinned by you standing on them, or underneath the tires of a car). If I remember right, even with level 0 aim you hit pinned zombies about 50% of the time

Great vid! One important thing I would add is that if you are driving and initiate the reload function on a gun, you are unable to control the car and cannot cancel the reload. Whatever direction/speed the vehicle is currently going at will be locked in until you finish reloading. With the window open, you want to make sure that your path ahead is clear before initiating a reload. To mitigate this, use a weapon with low mag/clip count like the double barrel shotgun

Chad way of getting into gun stores. Get a molotov and a fire extinguisher (Obtainable from most backrooms in commercial buildings) and slap a rag down a bottle of bourbon. Slam that thing into the wall of the building, let it burn for a few seconds until it chews a hole in the building, then use the extinguisher to put out the flames and climb through the hole in the wall.

The thing about scopes is that they subtract accuracy when outsize of the proper range, and that different firearms provide a different amount of accuracy per level. An MSR700 gives a ton of accuracy per level, making it easy to get over 100% accuracy (and hence high or guaranteed chance to hit even with the scope penalty), while M16 and M14 have a low combination of base-accuracy + accuracy-per-level making them _not_ possible to gain over 100% accuracy, and hence suffer huge penalties outside of scope range. With regards to leveling aiming you missed by far the most important tip: hit multiple zombies at once with the shotgun, ideally 4- _ESPECIALLY_ if you're limited on ammo (which most people are, at least in single player modless). This is because the game sees to multiply your experience by the number of targets hit _TWICE_ -which I presume is a bug- meaning that hitting 1 zombie will give 1x experience, but hitting 4 zombies will give 16x experience, or 4x the amount of hitting 1 zombie 4 times.

@Mattsi

I've yet to notice that multiplier with hitting 4 zombies. Will do some tests on that soon, only recently found an xp drop mod - will help out Bigly And for the scopes, I just didn't notice much of anything like what you mentioned. If it's in the code, it's in the code, but I haven't seen anything regarding a accuracy per level when I was researching for the video. And I definitely didn't feel anything like that when I was running my own tests. Best I could describe it was that the minimum range just didn't matter at a certain level.

I'm glad to hear that's another thing that's fairly realistic

I'm late, but something ABSOLUTELY worth noting is how gun damage works. Guns don't increase in damage, but they increase in Critical Hit rate extremely fast, and have exceedingly high crit mods.... except the M14 but we don't talk about that. Or use it. Critical shots are what make guns kill, and you get about 10% crit per Aiming level (gun dependent). This is why at aiming level 5, you start seeing "weak" guns like the M9 one bullet killing zombies in bulk. Shotguns may only target 4 zombies, but the game actually fires a large number of pellets, and rolls crit chance on each one individually. This is why shotguns are so efficient at low skill, as you have a large chance of hitting, and a VERY high chance of critting with how many dice rolls you're making. Sawn Off Shotguns can also get to 100% Base Accuracy too, so even a level 0 aiming character will still average multiple critical pellets, and thus significant chunks of aiming EXP per shot. And I really REALLY want to stress this. At level 0 aiming, Sawn Off Shotguns are your best bet. A Sawn-off JS2000 hits the mythical 100% base Accuracy with a 60% Base Crit. A Sawn off Double Barrel hits 80% Base Accuracy with an 80% Base crit, meaning that at level 3, a Sawn Off Double Barrel has a 92% chance to crit. Come Aiming 5, the Double Barrel will always crit. As crits make for more Aiming EXP, Double Barreled Shotgun is the king of grinding.

Higher aiming doesn't affect your accuracy much after 5, but it does increase the damage. It's more noticeable on the M16. The difference between 5 and 10 aiming damage is around double. You will hit the same amount of times, but you won't kill the same amount of times.

@Melanstone

Жыл бұрын

It's because your aiming skill affects Crit chance. Your critical chance increases by 10 multiplied by your aiming skill divided by 2 then added to the result is your aiming skill x 3. It's penalized by stuff like range, moodles, and how long it's been since you moved. No matter the aiming skill and ciritcal chance of the weapon it is ultimately capped at 90% for firearms

One little known tip is that when zombies are on the ground they're super easy to hit with guns, also zombies on default setting fall over when climbing fences so if you can lure a horde to a place with alot of fences (like the farmland south of Rosewood or almost anywhere in Muldraugh) and hold alt to target downed zombies, they're basically free kills

I would say police officer is a better occupation since it gives you +1 nimble which makes the skill so much easier to level up. Also nimble is extremely important when it comes to gunplay. The panic won't matter as much when your character lives long enough so it really depends your playstyle. There's also 6 less point trade-off for the police officer occupation which allows you to take more positive traits like brave. With brave any character that survives for more than 3 months is barely affected by the panic moodle plus you can just take beta blockers.

If yoi have trouble finding sledgehammer you can throw a molotov at the building and wait till 1 of the walls burns in such a way that you can pass through them, be sure to stook up on pots with water to put the fire out once you get inside. We dont want to burn all that ammo

Yeah you need to let them get really really close but eventually I had aiming lvl 3 and I could kill stuff with my m9 pistol. It was pretty funny to just shoot and kill 20 zombies in the middle of no where on the highway. I also found a m14 and 200 bullets so I am going to use that after haha.

On 0 aiming you can still kill zombies. But you have to keep them very close, actually the distance will be not so different to compare to melee weapon. But is very high chance to kill in one shot. And one most important thing, do not walk when you aiming.

I just cant agree with you on police officer because there are things that youre missing. Firstly, desensitized is not that good of a trait unless youre playing with sprinters. All it takes is couple of beta blockers to remove panic completely for a good while. Sprinters is exception because you wont have time to do that. Secondly, Police officer gives aiming, which means its Xp gain 125% as opposed to veteran's %100. This might not seem alot but ammo and guns are a finite resource, its simply optimal to have the highest Xp multiplier just so you can enjoy guns longer. Police officer has nimble, which also gives 75% bonus to that skill. Nimble is by far the best agility skill as its amazing for melee and good for aiming. Its one of those skills you always want.

i like to play with guns in zomboids... but for me it's really discouragin how limited the ammo is. To be really useful, it would be nice to have a renewable source of ammo, by crafting it by exemple, but i understand it's not really realistic, i would not implement craftable ammo myself. I guess i just need to find more ammo places, with enough of it for a lifetime

Guns are super fun! For right now I do think once you get to level 3 aiming you have enough power to seek out all the ammo on the map. Now once all that's gone I do wonder if they'll address it when they add the big crafting overhaul and the game slowly takes on a medieval vibe

@@Mattsi xell, not that i think about it, it's not a really a gun, but would be nice to have a crossbow. Then, we would be able to craft some low quality ammunition for it. Same thing for the crossbow itself. We could have a high tier lootable crossbow, and a low quality craftable one. But realisticly, you would need high tier tools and a lot of time to make a crossbow, not just a knife xp So, in the end it would not be really realistic to craft one. Maybe a bow at least ? would be super fun

@@chinois11 they intend to bring in a TON of crafting options and as a world progresses it will phase out occupations with trades and things like blacksmithing. That's the plan currently, anyway. So I could 100% see them adding a craftable high tier crossbow

Moving decreases accuracy. Stand still while aiming to aftually hit things.

Within the first 30 seconds of the video there's more footage of me standing still and firing than not. Even a clip of me moving and hitting a shot. Just saying stand still is kinda mid. If you want to be as effective and as safe as possible learn how long it takes to go from moving, to still, to aiming and continually weave all that together. I got nothing against you, and I hope this didn't come off as mean, I just be getting "stand still" comments frequently and they almost always sound like folks who want to be eaten by zombies.

I can not advise repressors enough. Silencer mods? gold. Start in Riverside and put the river at your back. Just make sure to clear your exit route first and continuously.

To feel like Doomguy :^) Some things definitely need to be fixed up and whatnot, but I don't think guns are too bad as they are. To my knowledge they got some kinda shadow changes. I've got a ton of graphs and pictures for it, but haven't made a video on it yet :')

At low aim you really gotta stand completely still to be even remotely accurate. If you're moving, you're basically guaranteed to miss even at point blank.

I would rather move, miss, and live than stay still, miss, and die. If you're leveling up aiming with a shotgun and you're moving a little to keep yourself safe, it won't matter in the long run.
