ok this thread seems to be whining whining so im going to do a basic guide on to how to not suck at delta zone. yes the game is hard at the start but if you walk up to someone in armor and piss in their eye and they blast you with a shotgun you cant complain the gunplay is bad
First start in hold my hand please difficulty, or if you want start in can i play mommy and skip to the next paragraph. Go to the trader and buy yourself a barrel (not a short one) a foregrip a red dot sight and a stock. press k to bring up your gun and add the things you just bought.
buy yourself more fmj and some of the cheap ammo 5.56 hmd. press k again and see the ammo type at the bottom.
hmd is shit but cheap so you can use lots of it. don't bother using it for anything other than scavengers though
fmj is good for raiders and scavengers, but not good for corporate soldiers
apn is bad against unarmored soldiers but will mess up corporate soldiers with a few good shots
walk through to start the map, but read the instructions. if you paid attention to number 4, then you would understand the ammo above.
when you load in, go into inventory <tab> and use the battery. This will give us scanner ability. also press k and change ammo type to hmd.
Assuming you started in the big warehouse, walk forwards and up the hill. keep going straight until you come to water. tap right mouse to bring your gun up and then walk through. if a tentacle comes near shoot it near the bottom to scare it away. from now on you have to be this careful aroud all water.
there might be a wooden box nearby if there is then open it and take the stuff inside. this is how youll get parts to upgrade your gun and get something better. also from here expect to encounter enemies. keep an eye out for both boxes and baddies
enemies make a lot of noise so your best bet is to listen out and go slowly. dont go straight trhough the fence ahead, there are corporate soldiers there and they have big armor and even bigger guns. instead go right and walk towards the big building. go between the fence and the building on the right, climb up and reach the roof. theres usually some good boxes up here.
youll also see enemies from up here. if you run up to an enemy they will take you down fast, so instead use cover and take shots at them from a distance. use the scanner <caps> to see their health sometimes they can go down but get up again. also cover means something that can stop bullets a bush cant stop a bullet so it is not cover. simple. if they shoot at you hide. they will keep shooting at where you were so try changing positions and getting them from a new angle. dont stand in the open unless you want to get shot and used. if they are shooting at you hide.
$ is shops and skulls are corporate soldiers who will kill you before you even scratch them. avoid.
the pink flashlight is the danger zone dont go there unless you have a light and a decent gun.
once you've killed the ones nearby, follow the rough map above. you need to avoid water and keep an ear out for anyone walking nearby. if you get close to enemies switch to fmj rounds for more damage but try not to waste those shots. loot bodies to get more ammo and better parts and keep swapping gun parts when you get better ones.
You'll reach a big door with a blue wall around it and a dna detection gate. go through and there will be a safe zone and a trader with every item in the game for sale. if you got impregnated then you will have to go the long way through the pink zone. buy a better trigger so you shoot properly, get a better bolt to stop jams and a better laser. you can buy other things too and also sell things you dont need by clicking the bottom of the trading window. get more ammo.
theres a passage that leads into the pink zone where the best loot is. if you go that way, use the scanner to see in the dark or bring a flashlight. once your done follow the trail on my map again.
at the river crossing climb the building to make sure there's no one nearby. there is so shoot them until they are gone. cross the river being careful of tentacles again. follow the forest on the right, staying behind rocks and being careful of more raiders and you will reach a clump of buildings. head inside, and congratulations you have survived the delta zone.
now you have a few better pieces for your gun you can try and take on the corporates we avoided in the first run and explore the map some more. use apn against the corporate and if you get shot at hide and dont come out until they stop. also dont come out where they were just shooting or they will shoot you again.
if you get hit and enemies are approaching you can press tab and then use pain killers to stop being stunned and then shoot them. if they are too close you can use pills to prevent getting pregnant. you can also press 2 to swap to an empty gun and when they steal things theyll leave your main gun alone.
if you get pregnant you have to push the eggs out. they tend to be pushable at around the 40% mark but on these difficulties the game will tell you when its a good time to push.
