Holy shit the grappling hook is amazing, completely changes the flow of the game!
Gotta say, I am shocked at how much I am loving this.
Check you map you can see their feeding areas.
I got mine near the bridge, at the gas station.

I love the hit-reactions when swinging a pipe at a zombie followed by some kicks and how they stumble around realistically. Great feeling successfully connecting with a head shot with a weapon.
I'll keep trying, but as I say, I've spent several night IN THOSE AREAS. Nothing.
There's one that's right next to a safe-house. It should also show up on your mini-map as a special icon. Just pass the night if you don't see it right away.

One thing I'm not too sure of, in Dead Island you could break zombie limbs so they would be pretty useless. Can you do that in this? I know you can slice them off but can you break them?

The grappling hook is a game changer. It's like it adds the blink ability from Dishonored to mirrors edge. But it's not op as its on a cool down after two throws. Great addition to movement.
I think so. I know you can break their legs. I haven't landed a critical on a arm yet but I'll try.

Yes. There is an upgrade you can break their legs :] while you are running press circle and then press L1 but first you must get the upgrade.
No on the arms. That was one of my favorite things to do, crack their arms, run away, then seeing their arms flopping all over the place as they stumbled after me.

You sure?
I've definitely gotten the xray move thingy on their arms before. Don't know if that actually does anything thing though.

Just finished the story mode at around 30 hours.
A surprisingly meaty game to be honest, I need to finish up the side quests too. There's even a new game plus that brings all your stuff and abilities with increased difficulty too.

They don't dangle so I just assumed.
Agreed. Getting the Grappling Hook fundamentally changes the flow of the game. Opens up a lot of new movement possibilities. I got it tonight while still in the slums. Only 15% done with story, have just been knocking out sidequests and going crazy during the nights. You can rack up a ton of survivor points at nights just by being outside of a safe house, and sprinting to air drops.
Yeah I'm pretty sure you can't break their arms, I think even the X Ray image on the arm is just to signify a stun.
But I have encountered a handful of zombies that had lost both of their arms, and we're shambling around aimlessly. Their lunging motion is pretty funny without arms.
30 hours already....whatttt!? Dr. scan this man for vital signs.
Doctor: "No life signs detected."
JK I miss binge gaming
Is game+ just they have more health and do more damage?
That would take a lot from the feeling of night time and the enemies if you could just fast travel. I see it taking a lot from the experience, new game+ option though I can kind of see it fitting with 2nd playthrough and some things get old.

You ARE the fast travel ;D.
I do kinda wish that, but traversing the world is so much fun I don't want anything taking that away. I enjoy finding a new shortcut or area to explore.

Drop kick upgrade in action.
Doing one of the sidequests "Gunslinger" I chose the quest, then show on map and it points to a location near the sea. The marker is pointed on some rocks but I can't find the pistol. Anyone have success with this, or is it some kind of glitch?

Wow. I thought 5 repairs was the permanent hard limit. That random encounter happened at the perfect time. Now my Orange Bastard Sword can have a second life.
Na; fast travel would break the flow of the game's internal clock, which is the best feature of the game by far.
I honestly don't know why people buy games like this and just use fast travel all the time. Doesn't it defeat the entire point of having such a dense world with great method of traversal if you could just fast forward through it?
Honestly I wish the devs hadn't pussed out and included the rest feature, even though I think they did a really damned good job of incentivize people to play at night. Playing coop and tossing flares and moletovs at night and hearing screams of pain, anguish, and rage is some of the best coop I've played in a long time.
amazingly though, its still the best performing techland game to be released.....been very, very happy with the performance compared to there first offerings.
This game is just amazing, co-op is just hhhnnnggg. The handled loot perfectly in this game, love it when everyone gets there own stuff and you don't have to worry about standing there thinking about whos going to grab what.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
i can drop kick zombies all day long. best move ever.

Hopefully they fix coop soon. Sadly by the time they do, I'll probably be done with it.
Why I'm holding off, the one mission I did with others was a lot more entertaining than solo.

I drop kicked into a (shallow) lake and the water didn't stop my movement and I died from fall damage. I wonder if you can drop kick to the bottom of the ocean that way
What's wrong with coop? Other than some audio dsyncs and some funky texture problems during cutscenes I haven't really noticed anything out of the ordinary in my coop sessions.
Not trying to be contrarian here or anything, but I genuinely want to know because I'm doing a coop run with a friend alongside my SP run and want to make sure we don't unintentionally run into any show stoppers during the course of play.
Pretty sure the survival stat path gives it at level 12 doesn't it? I haven't unlocked it yet, but it's blipped out under the "expert" section.

Is this referring to the console versions as well?

I thought the same at first then realized that would defeat the purpose of getting good at parkour. My suggestion is crafting Speed Boost Herbs. It turns you into Sonic the Hedgehammer. Makes fast travel pretty fun actually.
Saw this on Techland forums. Is this seriously true? When you're sleeping they temporarily overwrite your save with a level 1 character with no items? Who in their right mind ever thought that was a good idea? I lost my progression because my game hard locked the PS4 right after sleeping.
Likely no one. They're called bugs for a reason
So agreed. Autosaving fucks more than it helps in like 99% of situations. Though it's likely here in this game to prevent people fudging their progress, so I can cut them a little slack.

Yeah. It's just odd that they didn't catch that before release. It seems to be reproducible 100%.

Yesterday I ran all the way to the tower's "safe area", the save icon appeared then I turned it off. Loaded up the game today and I spawned from a safe house nowhere near the tower.
Another weird thing is my game playtime is stuck at 1hr39mins for some reason.

It doesn't work at all for a number of people. Crashes the game within 10 minutes.

Thank heavens. Running around with 30fps on medium is not very fun.

Didnt this game get delayed by a year and now they're patching it up based on player's feedback?
Ah, is it just the PS4 version then? Would explain the lack of problems on my end as I'm on PC.
Anyone?

I had that once, but also had hours of co-op on ps4. It may depend on something like host quality, router or something.

You can buy small amounts of ammo but it's really expensive. The game throws ammo at you when you need it though. Guns don't degrade.
