I'm checking the game out during its free trial week. I ran out of ammo a handful of missions in. My melee weapons do no damage. I'm hungry and thirsty

If you've played Fallout before, get that out of your head. It's a survival game, so resources are intentionally scarce. When I tried it the game was hopelessly broken so I bounced pretty quickly. I like what I've seen lately and I'll eventually jump back in, but too much else to play right now.

Melee used to do the most damage when I played.

They really make you scavenge but it's pretty fun because you have to find plans to build your camp.

I just jumped back in after a long time away and they really turned this game around.

It's going to really feel like a Fallout game when they add in NPCs.

When you’re out there scavenging, always look for fertilizer or anything that contains acid. When you break down fertilizer, it’ll give you acid... acid + cloth= gunpowder (chem bench). Also pickup batteries and paint cans, that’ll give you lead. I keep a good supply of both. You can also loot gunpowder from supermutants and other enemies. Use any Tinker’s workbench to craft ammo.

I played for 5 hours and couldn’t move because I was overweight with nowhere to put the stuff. Game seemed like it was made by someone who never played fallout. Quit soon after.

Make sure you pick one weapon type and specialize in it - if you try a lot you'll just end up spreading yourself thin and do no real damage.

Early on you can equip some perk cards that help with water/food management that you get for free in the perk packs. Most of them suck but in early game it doesn't matter anyway.

it's a crappy game, but i gave it another try

first creature i come up on, and it's going 200mph around my screen, and torn. I literally had to restart, because it kept killing me, and i could not do a thing to it.

They are going all in for their battle royal, people will play it for this week and quit. It has nothing to keep them
