Tip: It's advised that you wait until both Cardio and Resourcefulness are max that way you can see if your character is capable of getting both Backpacking and Resourcefulness before you decide if their going to be a gatherer for your group or a hunter.īackpacking (Cardio): Increases carrying capacity. At the very least, you'd want unlimited sprinting and a light weight backpack on your hunter character. On the lower difficulties it doesn't really matter, but on the higher difficulties you'll probably want 'gatherer' characters and 'hunter' characters.

The Cardio and Wits skill both let you increase your carrying capacity and are great for gatherer characters. What skills you choose is also a big factor in your ability to scavenge.

If you can't get your hands on a Van then the second best vehicle is usually a pick-up truck followed by any four door vehicle with a good sized trunk. The best vehicle you can possibly get is a Van as it has the largest storage capacity of all vehicles the only downside with a Van is that it only has one passenger seat which means you'll have to either dismiss your Enclave Follower or your Regular Follower before driving the vehicle back to base and unloading your supplies.
