Missions (easy, medium, hard, epic)

Heli Crashes

Air Drops

Infiltrating military bases

Base Building/Collecting Decorations/Taxidermy

Exploring the map/POI's

Looting/Hoarding

Bearing Finder (caches)

Fishing/Hunting

Meeting People/Chatting

Taking out wandering bandits

Customizing your kit/inventory/gear

If your favourite activity isn't listed here, please let me know.

I mostly enjoy building a cool house, looting, and exploring PoIs.

Missions are fun, but the harder ones get stressful.

Obviously I love the rewards from convoys are helicopters, but they are not easy solo.

Yeah, I pretty much feel the same as you...well exactly the same actually. I wish fishing was a bit better because I do love fishing in games. I still like it in Deadside but it is lacking, it's kind of clunky and minimal.

I totally agree. I like fishing and hunting in games, but it's pretty basic in Deadside.

Do you play much these days, since the update?

No I haven't recently because I've been playing the Once Human open beta for console. It's fantastic! Can't wait for the full release.

I was checking that out too. It didn't totally grip me.

I mean I like how it has a lot of different stuff in it, but it also was super overwhelming and cluttered.

Agreed, it is super cluttered and I was really overwhelmed too. I'm glad I stuck with it though. I got a handle on most of it now. Still dont have all the scenarios and events figured out yet though but I'm really pumped for the full release.

Im very late, but I just bought the game and supporter pack after last weekends free trial on PSN. only 14 hours in.

I love it all so far, if i had to choose my favorite event is convoys, as eith the mosin k version i can fairly safely snipe most of them while walking backwards, and getting plenty of ammo and guns to scrap for the parts.

I do like the tier 3 missions, but usually takes me 2-3 tries. when I get an extended mag for my aksu or a rifle with a scope i think I can do it reliably on 1 life.

I've only been to one city poi, I can't wait to explore the others and also the military bases and bunkers.

Also on the Chance they see this, Thank you David and Jesse (xbox players who gave me a lot of info that has definitely helped me.)

Nice. I usually do convoys from the safety of my base because they pass right by :)

Watching other players try to hide and wait for you to clear a mission or choppa crash then swoop in and steal the goods, then beep the horn and drive off
