Quite enjoying this, but i really need to git gud as I seem to just get killed no matter what. I think its partly due to the fact i mainly play PVE coop games, so there's always a slight hesitation before firing in case they are a friendly (they never are
).
I didnt see the point of the game at all when i first started as a friend always got the base started, but when I set off solo one night it was a really cool experience. It was a few days after wipe so there were bases everywhere, I had to run miles to find a good spot to build a base. Found a nice hidden spot inside some rocks and set about building a little wooden hut. Sat inside the base with a camp fire going during the night was really cool, just needed the saferoom music from Resident Evil and it would have been perfect
.
The best experience was a few days later when I just popped on for a few mins to check the base hadn't been raided and heard an airdrop as soon as I spawned in so thought I may as well go for it. Managed to get it and headed back to my base when I heard 2 people jumping up the rocks to get to the top of my base (flawed base design). So I hid under a shadow of the rock and waited for them to drop down and shot one of them, but the other got me. Then they appeared at the windows and a massive firefight broke out.
It all went quiet so I messaged my brother to come online and they came back with C4. Unfortunately they got the better of us and we were trapped in the bedroom while they were fully armed in our base hacking away at the storage rooms. My brother started grovelling and asked if they could spare us some stuff and they turned out to be really cool and just took a bit of sulphur and even left us some rocket launchers

The community can be pretty toxic, but there are some decent guys about as well. I have found a lot of kids play this game. Bit weird having some naked black dude with a 12 year olds voice asking you for tools and trying to jump on your head lol.
