Early-game can be brutal on new players, finding themselves dropped into a brand new sandbox with a bunch of questions and no answers!, I thought I´d give you guys a tip on what I did early game to make some quick cats so you can fill your bellies and get yourself some more squad members!
- Assassination -
The assassination skill allows you to knock out enemies from behind, leaving them unconscious without having to fight them. As you might imagine, unconscious people are easy to rob. Starting out, you should be able to find some easier targets for highway robbery (Starving farmers, bandits, vagrants, etc). You´ll have around 10-30% chance to successfully knock out these targets on a brand new char. Simply find a group of weaker enemies, sneak up behind them, and try knocking them out! If you keep the weight of your gear low, you should be able to easily run away from failed attempts, and don´t worry, getting beat up in this game is great for your stats! Your char´s skill in assassination improves quickly on lower lvls, and after just a few attempts, your chance of success should improve to around 70% or higher (If you keep targeting farmers and other easy targets).
You should find yourself being able to make quite a lot of money this way early on, getting funds to increase your squad-size and keep them fed!
Good luck out there!
