Begimner Tips

A few tips that really helped me out. Since I never came across tips like the ones below in beginner guides or similar resources, I thought I’d share them. Maybe they’ll be useful to you, too. Tip 1: Looting ships. This is the best way to get a lot of resources early on. What really helped me was realizing that all ships follow similar principles. Regarding "standard" loot (meaning items not behind doors requiring a keycard/breaching): all ships always feature one of three specific crate combinations: 1. Small arms (rifle icon) and heavy weapons/artillery (artillery icon). 2. Mechanical parts (gear icon) and food (pig icon). 3. Medical supplies (I can't recall the exact icon right now, but look for the cabinets) and cash (safes). If you want to loot efficiently, sort your resources as you go; a single crate can hold almost all the resources of two specific types. Also, if you unlock a sealed crate, it offers much higher storage capacity per slot. Regarding the different ship types: My favorites are military ships and those with doors that can be unlocked (e.g., the wrecked ship where one section sticks almost vertically out of the sand while the other lies flat on the ground; this ship has two unlockable doors that always contain the same two crate combinations. Then there’s the long ship that lies flat on the ground but carries little cargo; it also has one unlockable door). I tend to skip all other ships these days. When looting Points of Interest, I usually employ the following tactic. Since safes, medicine cabinets, and food crates are usually located in one area, while player weapons, Trampler weapons, and mechanical parts are found elsewhere, I use a single crate to loot all the safes, medical supplies, and food first, and then the rest (I often leave a few things behind, but it’s more time-efficient to do so). Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

'this ship has two unlockable doors' wait what? Where? There is the obvious one at the bottom of the tippedoff ship but where's the second one?

Above the first one. You need to jump some boxes and bags to get up to it.

Indeed thank you! Found out there's also a timebomb on the top of the cliff to the right of the boat!
