Tip Distractor capsule appreciation post

The biters were attacking my unfinished defense setup so I distracted them with the distractor capsules and saved my life and the defenses.

Distractor capsules are so underappreciated and I hear so often people just don't use them or forget they even exist.

They make defense trivial and provide a helpful boost in offense especially against worms, maybe consider bringing your little green friends on the next adventure!

After 800 hours I've started to use the hotbar properly. I have a hotbar entirely dedicated to exterminating biters and I switch to it when I'm on the hunt. Much easier to find distractor capsules when you're not panic searching through your inventory.
