Paid £6 to go premium, wish I hadn't wasted my money, enjoy hard grind to get somewhere, but this seems a frustrating grind to stagnate, shame.

week ago 15 gangers, 10 vehicals, just over 100k.

now after 1 week 4 to 6 hours every day, 6 to 12 mail runs per day, death races normally top 3, rallys ect.

now 15 DIFFERENT gangers lower skill levels, 8 vehicals, just over 100k.

well worth the time and effort, NOT!!!

Send a personal messsage to DirkNotSoGently

It can take a while to get into, but the perseverence does pay off

I don't know who guided you initially but in your first few weeks I REALLY would have expected you to be solo in the wilderness

You build up your skills on in-town events and scouting with veterans until your guys have at least all got their first specialisation

This game does NOT reward pushing too hard

What Dirk said, yes.

Mail runs are they really that profitable?

Solo scouting, as Dirk said need 1 spec. in gunnery or large guns. A 50 scout would be handy also.

If you need vehicles or weapons just ask, most of us started off with others giving to us. Don't expect a buzzer and car cannon though.

There isn't to many vet hosted scout's any more

We need to change that.

I will take you out on some scouts if you like and hopefully some others will as well.

Town events are not safe. Hilariously. You're better off out in the wastes. Slap two MMG's on two Moose chassis and get after traders. There's also the fact that the majority of players keep to themselves. Myself included. few years back when I started it was easy to get into a scout. Now not so much, Everyone got tired of the fresh meat refusing to listen to how things work around here, so they either quit, swore off helping new people, or ceased operation completely in the north.
