Blitzing the hearts near the Landmark and looting the whole area.
============================================================
Episode Notes:
============================================================
- I briefly weighed not using the biochems, but decided to use them. This challenge is around survivor skills, additionally they're a feature of this maps Landmark.
- Now that we're on Update 36 we get to see some of it QOL improvements. The most prominent of which is being able to deposit rucks in lvl-2/Landmark outposts!
- With the update there were also some UI/Button changes to compensate for the additions of new looting mechanics. These changes have me a little off, as I need to retrain my muscle memory.
============================================================
Season Note:
============================================================
- While this run won't push me to the extreme, the challenge comes from having to utilize survivors I'd generally pass up. Then take them and try to make them work into a successful community.
- The run will also allow me to highlight some of these oft ignored 5th skills and how they can be utilized in your runs to fill roles/niches...either full time or temporary.
- An example being, Tattoo's 5th skill having having a high chance of Hygiene Standards as a Hero Bonus, boosting your communities plague resistance. This is on top of providing basic medicine, arts and an influence bonus.
- As for the map selection it was really just variety. I've now played through all the maps at least once and I want to keep things a bit fresh. In this case picking maps so they're not being played back to back on the channel.
- Is something spicier is what you're looking for, I have a few more ideas coming that I need to do more prep/research on. So in the mean time I hope you can enjoy this run.
============================================================
Challenge Rules:
============================================================
1) I can only recruit survivors with one of the Quirk/One Star 5th skills.
2) Any survivor recruited as part of a group, without a 1-star, must be exiled ASAP.
3) Recruiting of survivors with no 5th skill is allowed, but ONLY if I already have a 1-Star skill book in my locker (Fishing, Lichenology, Sleep Psychology, etc) to train them in immediately.
4) No Red Talon agents. While only having 1-Star 5th skills, they're a bit too OP and outside the normal survivor pool.
5) No starting with Lichenology or Recycling quirk 5th skills. While I'll allow them later, they're decently common picks and I wanted to highlight a few others initially.
