The Zombie Apocalypse Bible I know we have the Post Apocalyptic Playalong thread, but A zombie outbreak is a slightly different matter, and plans need to be more carefully thought out if you want to survive. This is how it's going to work: i'll ask a bunch of questions, and hope you lot will be bothered to answer them. Over time we can then build a collection of tips for survival. Like an outbreak bible! Also, feel free to add to this, by asking your own questions too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Intel: I guess the most important question you should be asking yourself is what kind of threat are we looking at? Are the zombies fast & vicious? Are they slow and avoidable? How do they hunt? do they stand idle until they can see/smell you? Or do they hide and wait for you? Refuge: Where you will hold up. Is your house/flat/apartment safe in an outbreak? How many people do you have with you, and will they help you survive or end up getting you killed? Will you seek refuge somewhere else, and why? Will you keep moving from place to place, to avoid being cornered? Rationing: What you will do when you run out of food & water. Will you go out and look for food? Do you have one place in mind that will house all your needs? You don't have a lot of storage on the move, What is the most essential food and tools for survival? Defence/Offence: So you want to survive? What sort of weapons & defence do you plan to put in place to help you live longer? If you have a gun, do you have enough ammo? if not, where will you get it? What sort of melee weapon will keep you a good arms length away if you have to come face to face with one? Will you secure your windows if you have any? If so, with what, and where will you get that? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So, a few simple survival questions which should get you in the right mind set. Don't forget to answer them, as that is the point of the thread. To build a collection of different scenarios and versions of how to survive. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ These are my own answers: Intel: I guess the most important question you should be asking yourself is what kind of threat are we looking at? I'm gonna say we're looking at 28 days later style RAGE zombies. They're not slow, they're quick and relentless. They're smart and stay out of sight until they see any vulnerable prey. Refuge: Where you will hold up. I live in a flat above ground floor with secure doors, so I think I'll be safe at home. I have a Wife and Son, and they're the only people i care about enough to get myself killed over. They only reason for me to seek refuge anywhere else is if somehow, my flat became unsafe. Or if i couldn't get back in after collecting survival supplies. My last choice, but if i had to, then yes i would keep moving until i found somewhere as secure as before. Rationing: What you will do when you run out of food & water. Well yes, I'm not a cowered, if I need food, I'll go and get it. But I'd ask my family to stay at home. I have a huge Asda-Walmart right near my house. although it could be swarming with zombies, is the best place for supplies near me. I'd stock up on tinned food, dried foods, bottled water and a selection of drugs like painkillers and antibiotics etc. Defence/Offence: Guns aren't really accessible in my country, so it'd have to be a good selection of melee weapons. No guns worth keeping on me around here. A baseball bat, a machete and maybe divers knife as backup. My windows shouldn't be accessible on the first floor, but I'd probably nail some wood over them only leaving small gaps to look out. One thing i saw in 28 days later which i liked, was the use of trolly's at the bottom of the stairwell. I think I'd do something similar if it didn't put my life at risk. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feel free to add anything else that will have value to this thread, like images of good hideout setups, food and supply items, weapons, etc...

There are a lot of new rusty things since we did this theme last. For inspiration : Bones Nemo Navadio --- Emblem: --- New Jobs: I figger it's a good idea to post new jobs here. So people can see it all in the first post. DO- Battle Axe Buoys http://rsg.ms/b6c78e6 Here we have the opposite of Hatchet High. Instead of Hatchets in the sky,it's Battle Axes in the water. In a Team Deathmatch, jump off the floating platform and dive in the water. DO- The Launchaning http://rsg.ms/d6ebdfe A Compact Grenade Launcher, Pipe Bombs and a Pipe Wrench with floating stuff...What more could you want? When you run out of Compact Grenade Launcher ammo, seek out some pipe bombs on the tops of the train cars. Or use the Pipe Wrench for bragging rights. Be sure to not be moving forward when trying to jump up on a train car. If you have forward momentum you will likely jump straight ahead rather than climb up the train car. DO- Hospital Rooftop https://socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/ps4/jobs/job/h0-hQFeR8kWJlrcrjL2gMA Nothing Fancy...Just a close quarters deathmatch.
