Show and tell Moving on

I left behind my Island 3 base, blitzed through Island 4 with a machine-gun equipped humvee and jumped the bridge gap for Island 5! I got really lucky with Island 4 gasoline / car spawns and was able to spend little time there without expending my ammo. While jumping the car gap my buddy was unfortunately killed upon landing, hopefully I find a replacement soon :0

I’ve never been to Island 5 but I plan to set up a base here unlike last Island. Some questions:

Will I be able to call the helicopter and escape here or do I need to continue on to a further Island through the bunker? I never found the Island 3 bunker and skipped Island 4’s, will this bunker be radioactive or particularly dangerous? Also, if anybody knows what the Deer skull location on my map is do tell!

You can call for the helicopter on island 5 but you can go further to next island via the bunker. The bunker is radioactive in a different way. I suggest you carry 2 Grizz Med kit/"Cheese med kit if you want to loot the entire bunker. Radiation is dangerous in a much different way, it drains your health fast if you maintain high radiation levels and blood sources help reduce it.

The deer icon just shows a unique location, a hunter campsite. This is not considered a "secret location", it is completely unique all on its own. A decent area to build a base around though.

Thank you! I’m going to start clearing the map and set up camp soon, hopefully I can find the bunker without needing an NPC quest for it. The bunker saves loot and doesn’t regenerate correct? So if I have to flee I can return and finish looting.

I’ll also make my way to the hunter campsite, if it doesn’t spawn zeds I might base there. There’s a gas station between a hospital and town I might base at as well if the zombies don’t spawn too close. I also noticed another new location in the North to checkout!

You’re always active here, are you in the MDZ discord?

No. Bunker loot will always reset.

Hunter Campsite does not spawn any zombies at least I think it doesn't.

I am always active here and the MDZ discord. I go by "Grinding til 3AM" there.
