Remember folks, when running over zombies for mass clearing, cruise control at 15mph, and take breaks to reset the damage cooldown, car will never get damaged
@@mikesquashborn2440 the tl;dr is that the game only rolls a damage check on the impact of a zombie when your speed exceeds 15mph. If you stay at 15MPH or under the game does not roll damage attempts. Extended edition: Until you're near zombies for a certain amount of time, then the game makes even the smallest graze take 3% off any random part. So in a nut shell the optimal strategy is Cruise control (Shift+W per 5MPH, should appear on the bottom left of the dash) until you're at 15 MPH, drive around the edge of hordes, or in the thinner parts of them depending, drive a short distance away to circle around and reset the cool down. I have tested this thoroughly, if done correctly the only time the car will take damage is during the occasional attack animation that is allowed through despite the zombie being staggered. Cruise control is key for this, as it assures the car will not exceed 15MPH and so it won't take impact damage. Finally, corpses *do not damage tires*, they only reduce vehicle friction IIRC (making it easier to flip), you could drive from rosewood to louisville on a road paved entirely with corpses and the only thing that would happen is your air pressure might drop from general use.
0:43 that building has all that great amount of loot because it’s something like a “military dormitory” or something like that, at least that’s how the game call it. You can see it if you are in front of the building at the main doors at the entrance
They are military family apartments to be precise! Irl March Ridge is located in close proximity to Fort Knox - very much think that it will be added to vanilla map at some point in the future and make March Ridge a much more desirable spawn point
0:40 the dormitory used to be a survivor holdout you can find annotated maps calling for people to go there. I can't wait for the NPC update to actually populat it one day
March Ridge is my favorite town. It's the best town/starter town IMO. Just the dormitory alone will net you tons of bags, crowbars, guns, ammo, Food, garbage bags etc. Don't forget about the (4) beds in each dormitory room for carpentry levels. A post office and a school with tons of books. A decent sized grocery store, and tons of residential houses packed pretty close together with more beds/books. Warehouses a bit further away from town, but still, there's allot of crates to go through. Leveling mechanics is cake. I wouldn't say this is where I would personally build my home base, but it's a great place to start and travel to the town you want. The only downside to me is 1. Lack of fishing 2. It's at the way at the bottom of the map. But don't forget, Rosewood is a short drive with Muldraugh a little further.
You always forget the best Base spot: if you find a sledgehammer take the supermarket it has a 2. floor and if you smash a wall upstairs it has roof acsess. :P If you play on no respawn i wouuld recommend building walls between the surrounding shops and in the south and you have a big backyard to play :)
you forgot to mention the bug that makes multiple safe houses spawn next to each other Basically some houses are usually together and the game considers them a single house, so if a house with barricades appears, all the houses next to it will have them Basically there would be infinite loot there lol
Louisville imo has that bug hardcore since they have duplex’s and similar building next to each other. You can get like a whole block barricaded and full of loot
This "bug" is going to be fixed in the final b41 patch: - Disabled the Randomized Survivor Safehouses from occurring in instances where a building has over 10 rooms or is a spawn location. Which means it won't occur even for the big houses like those in Riverside's community
I've found the best way to get into March Ridge without driving through streets of zombies. If you drive down the highway from Rosewood towards March Ridge, you will pass two billboards on your left. After you pass the second billboard on your left, look to the right and count street lights. At the 4th street light, pull over. The highway shouldn't have many zombies, but if there is a lot just be careful. If you walk straight through the woods towards March Ridge you will reach the out perimeter fence, then the school yard fence right after that. Once you are in the school yard you can kill all of the zombies or sneak by them as you want. You can loot the school if you want but if you need books, like the How to Use the Generator magazine, I've always found several in the Community Center across from the school. There is a two story library at the front of the Community Center. You have to use the stairs in the library to go to the next floor of the library. If zombies are chasing you upstairs, you likely will have a key to get out through the janitor's closet or smash that back window of the study room to get access to the back stairs. If you travel early and travel light, you'll be in and out before too many zombies are on to you.
I’m set up in the Rosewood Fire Station. I like to use March Ridge to bolster my food supply before winter and get some safe aiming leveling done. Sure it makes heading back later difficult, but it only increases my stats and it’s just a time waster while I wait for the temp to drop.
Rosewood fire station is SUCH a good base. Already got that tall fence around it, got the garage doors, lots of good loot, close to the police station.
march ridge is best visited for the long grouped houses at the back, because if one spawns as a survivor home, all of them spawn as a survival home, i haven't had a playthrough where at least one of the blocks wasn't like that too bad they're planning on fixing that
indie Stone likes to fix the good and not give much importance to the bad. For example in all the updates they make the game more difficult and they don't add many things that make it feel immersed (we'll see how it goes with the animals and npc)
when I finished looting that building, I had about 25 different pistols and at LEAST 60 different rifles. Shotguns, M14, and Ruger. Sooo much ammo too.
The dormitory makes a great base. You can use mods to spawn directly in March Ridge. The dormitory is a high rise with many windows so it's easy to sheet rope in and out or even take the stairs for occassional trolleys full of loot.
When I start in Rosewood I usually make the run to March ridge to the Video store to get the skill VHS tapes, it's way closer than Muldraugh, and the particular position of the store makes it easy to drive in the parking lot, honk, drive up north to the medical centers, honk-honk, drive around the block and get in fast, the bunch of buildings break line of sight and you can basically loot without worry since you lost them in the medical centers. GRANTED, you WON'T be able to loot ANYWERE ELSE, the positioning of the other places makes it impossible to loot with this method because they can see you from everywhere, it's JUST the video store that is facing a different building (laundry building if I remember correctly) and after that building there is a tall wooden fence, everywhere else is way too exposed to random zeds walking around and there are, as mentioned before A LOT OF ZEDS.
I started in rosewood so i could hit up the farmers market and the massive food supply warehouse thats near the army base. Theres a two story farm house with a storage barn across a field from there. March ridge is a diagonal run through the woods for supplies. Its a great base, very quiet.
Eerie county, frankfort, elysium island, blackwood, greenleaf, over the river, fort knox, fort benning, research facility KY, Chestown, heavens hill, refordville. Have fun deciding where to make a base.
Me and my friends traveled to march ridge for hit vids and the pharmacy / medical place, we found all of the prothesis magazines that we needed and enough vhs's to get you to level 10 carpentry while stumbling over some great cars on the way.
With spawn mods its a great starter place, just to get food and the basics, and plenty of cars so you can eventually leave to go somewhere with better supplies
Should you live in March ridge? Well it depends. Do you enjoy fun? If no, then absolutely. Do you enjoy difficult challenges with rewards reasonable worth that difficulty? If no, then absolutely. Drive in, molotov everything hit the video store, maybe the book stores, drive out.
I've started a base in march ridge ,its a decent start using one of the apartment blocks a big house by smashing the walls out making it 1 large house with many doors
I remember popping in here to loot a fridge as i was living in a log cabin with a solar panel mod and wanted to chill stuff. Ended up jumping out a building to escape the zombies and spent 30 minutes running around a-la Benny Hill, just to nick the fridge and stick it in my car :P
I killed myself by sheer own stupidity. I was on the 4th floor in one of the dormitories and pressed e in front of a window and jumped out. Over 10k zombies killed at that point, lots of skills legitimately grinded to almost full to full levels and everything was gone within in the blink of an eye. And it didn't even spawn my zombie around there, so yeah, I have a bad memory of that place. But that's on me, the entire area is interesting to me and feels quite different than the other towns.
The residential areas have a ridiculously high spawn of guns and ammo in each house. If you do loot for those in there you're gonna need more containers in your base for the ammo and you'll be leaving the guns behind because you'll never that many.
Regarding all the tools and weapons, maybe it was a tech college, but I'm pretty sure I remember reading they're actually barracks for a military prep school or something like that. I don't think I've ever actually explored March Ridge.
I just walked from rose wood to March ridge, it was no problem getting there it took way too long but I finally found my first car with a key in the house after playing this game for only 13 hours.
March Ridge is also pretty close to the army quarter (next to Rosewood). I was struggling to find the large backpack once and went there for the first time and luckily one of the barracks had it.
March Ridge a military resident community, all people who live there are military and their relatives, that's why you find so many guns. The devs will add Fort Knox at some point on the map.
Maybe the reason why dormitory is packed with weapon is because in case of disaster, school may tend to be a refugee camp. And the previous tenant may as well be an armed force to fight off zombie. But that doesn't explained why they don't look fortified.
Only come here if an Annotated Map talking about a community of survivors wanting new people to join finds its way into your posession. The huge apartment complex, will, in its entirety, be filled with loot. Like, dozens of crowbars, dozens of rifles, so many shotguns, SO SO MUCH ammo.
You should make a separate video for those like me who use the random spawn mod (and sometimes the 10 years later mod) and have a change of spawning in March Ridge. Depending on your zombie population settings, you can actually acquire a decent amount of loot in March Ridge even with ridiculously rare loot on. If you have zombie population higher than 1 at the beginning, my recommendation is to just leave March Ridge as your chances of survival are slim. The main issue with March Ridge is the lack of farms and industry, which makes it near impossible to find farming equipment and seeds without venturing out of town. There is also the lack of a body of water for fishing to maintain your weight. My recommendation is to start off as obese and satiate your hunger through foraging (you can last up to a month this way). The 10 years later mod makes this easy and worthwhile. Save all the canned foods and don't eat them. When your weight reaches around 80, dig into those canned foods so you don't go keep losing weight. You will eventually have to venture out of town to find seeds and farming equipment. You could also get lucky and find seeds through foraging and maybe a handfork on a zombie, but I wouldn't count my chances on that. As you can guess, my current run is in March Ridge, and I have survived for a month.
"I'll be surprised if you can't find that carpentry 5 book your looking for" >current playthrough is 3 months in with no how to use generators book even after raiding 3 book stores, 3 schools, and two post offices
Built a safehouse on the top floor of the March Ridge military dormitory. Advantageous and cool But in the end the place got hit by lightning and all my days of looting just burned. But I survived then sobered up with chugs of bleach. =') Never setting base there again.
The "Dormitory" I think is supposed to represent barracks (and the Air Force even calls their barracks by "dorms"), since March Ridge is a military town. The amount of firearms should be reasonably high.
The whole town's gun loot is stupidly high. It's easy to find up to three gun cases in each home of the dorm buildings, and still you get one or two quite often in each of the regular houses, each gun case with a couple of boxes of ammo which is the only thing you'll be taking after the first run back to your base where you'll need to make more containers for all the guns and ammo. March Ridge is extremely underrated in that aspect. Plus it has a large "wealthy" area where you can hunt for your favorite color sport car.
March Ridge's Dormitory is a CRAZY place to find guns, especially if you have Brita's Weapon Pack. The amount of firearms and ammo just lying around in this 4-story building is ridiculous.
Had no idea people shit on this place so much new to game just moved into upper left corner of March ridge and barricaded bottom floor I've been getting a lotta food and guns from the houses but have avoided the town
Im late to comment, but the reason why you find alot of guns is because its a MILITARY apartament complex, used to house soldiers. Actually, the town itself is a military town built by the goverment and homes given to soldiers. Its backed up by how the whole town is fenced off and the entrance has a checkpoint.
The dormitory isn't any regular dormitory; it's a military dormitory but funny thing is, when my brother and I went here for military loot, we did not find a single gun despite it being a military dormitory although it makes sense since the military would take all their gear with them when shit had hit the fan but we did find some military backpacks.
Soldiers don’t keep their guns with them in the barracks as far as I’m aware. They’re kept in an armoury that is inventoried and guarded. So it kind does make sense
I think the reason why you find a lot of weapons and such at the dormitory is that it is supposed to be the Bluegrass Challenge Academy of Fort Knox, KY. I admit trying to indoctrinate worse off youth into the national guard while they are still teenagers is pretty despicable but that something the US government is doing. And that is what happens in Fort Knox (March Ridge). KY so that is the reason you find so many weapons there.
The Dormitories is apart of an annotated map that points there saying there's a group of survivors there. It marks the entire building as a weapon cache so there's a lot of extra weapon spawns throughout the building.
I m sure the dorm is a military dorm. Why is it I'm the middle of a town idk but here we are. Also I can't find a good reason to go this town. Between muldraugh and rosewood loot, base potential, and overall accessibility to other areas it's no reason for me to go. Still a good video.
i think for apocalypse/ survival presets there is a low respawn rate set but im just getting back into the game since i played it in beta so im not certain. when you create sandbox game modes you can change the respawn rate or turn it off, and im assuming the default setting is what the preset gamemodes use :D
Can't wait for you to cover every group of farmhouses and every secluded home.

Just FYI, the "Dormitories" you mentioned, literally says "Knox Military Apartments" on the front. Not quite the dormitories you expect :p
Man, i get an annotated map pointing at that military homes. Daammn every appartement had loads of weapons EVERY APPARTEMENTS !!
Another good thing is that you’ll probably find quite a few survivor houses just from the sheer number of houses.

March ridge is military housing for soldiers posted to fort Knox.
That's why so many guns in dorms.
I'm just playing my main apocalypse game and found an annotated map stating there is a survivor stronghold there.

Never made a base there but I have raided it for videos and magazines. Always in and out quick quick

I took the dorm block once. Bloody hard, took out the stairs, threw out many ropes, moved up cars. Nice base.
Might use fire to clean them out next time.
It has a nice VHS store and tons of books. Totally worth it, just bring some firepower. :)
Maybe the reason why dormitory is packed with weapon is because in case of disaster, school may tend to be a refugee camp. And the previous tenant may as well be an armed force to fight off zombie. But that doesn't explained why they don't look fortified.
Good lord, with that many houses crammed together im imagining it has enough canned goods to supplement your cabbage farm for months all by itself.
The reason it has a decent amount of guns/is very uniform in its Kay out is that is a kilitraru settlement
when I make base in this town I make school second FLoor my main Base. Many ropes and no stairs. Lovley place to make into cozy base

Went there to get the generator magazine, and leave with 3 lacerations so...yeah, i think you should 🙂
Those apartments are actually military apartments. That’s where the so many weapons there
Built a safehouse on the top floor of the March Ridge military dormitory. Advantageous and cool
But in the end the place got hit by lightning and all my days of looting just burned.
But I survived then sobered up with chugs of bleach. =')
Never setting base there again.
The "Dormitory" I think is supposed to represent barracks (and the Air Force even calls their barracks by "dorms"), since March Ridge is a military town. The amount of firearms should be reasonably high.
The whole town's gun loot is stupidly high. It's easy to find up to three gun cases in each home of the dorm buildings, and still you get one or two quite often in each of the regular houses, each gun case with a couple of boxes of ammo which is the only thing you'll be taking after the first run back to your base where you'll need to make more containers for all the guns and ammo. March Ridge is extremely underrated in that aspect. Plus it has a large "wealthy" area where you can hunt for your favorite color sport car.
March Ridge's Dormitory is a CRAZY place to find guns, especially if you have Brita's Weapon Pack. The amount of firearms and ammo just lying around in this 4-story building is ridiculous.
If you got into March Ridge treat it with respect. The dorms have a ton of loot.
I'm trying to collect every vehicle. But I'm struggling to find the jeep, corvette, and mercia lang 4000. Help?
March ridge dorms: MURICA!!!
a normal person: 👀👀👀📸📸📸🗿🗿🗿🤨🤨🤨
Almost at 10k subs!! 😄
March ridge also has a fair amount of propane tanks.
Mentioned the pharmacies and VHS store and gas station but not the huge grocery store? What?
Had no idea people shit on this place so much new to game just moved into upper left corner of March ridge and barricaded bottom floor I've been getting a lotta food and guns from the houses but have avoided the town
I forgot this place existed tbh
What do you think the best secluded house is or cabin and such?
Can you do September Ridge before the month ends please
The dorms are for military personnel. Not a school
Im late to comment, but the reason why you find alot of guns is because its a MILITARY apartament complex, used to house soldiers. Actually, the town itself is a military town built by the goverment and homes given to soldiers. Its backed up by how the whole town is fenced off and the entrance has a checkpoint.
The dormitory isn't any regular dormitory; it's a military dormitory but funny thing is, when my brother and I went here for military loot, we did not find a single gun despite it being a military dormitory although it makes sense since the military would take all their gear with them when shit had hit the fan but we did find some military backpacks.
Soldiers don’t keep their guns with them in the barracks as far as I’m aware. They’re kept in an armoury that is inventoried and guarded. So it kind does make sense
@@BlueSkullFish Yeah, in a non-combat environment almost everyone's weapons will be in the armory.
🤣 "More weapons than the military base"
did i went to march ridge thinking it was rosewood
I just tried to get there from Rosewood, and I wasted a perfect 17 days game in two minutes.
Can you do March Ridge next
by far best place to get alot of machete and ammos
I think the reason why you find a lot of weapons and such at the dormitory is that it is supposed to be the Bluegrass Challenge Academy of Fort Knox, KY. I admit trying to indoctrinate worse off youth into the national guard while they are still teenagers is pretty despicable but that something the US government is doing. And that is what happens in Fort Knox (March Ridge). KY so that is the reason you find so many weapons there.
I'm entering March ridge now and I was wondering if it was worth it lol
If watching yourself watch stuff is peak gameplay, then what is watching someone watch themself watch stuff?
me and my friends live in the dorms
A+ guide
I came here... at night and died a horrible death. :/
I use march ridge to improve my aiming skills. Shotgun and go ham
Please master your video volume louder in the edit software Spoodle I can barely hear your videos with all volumes knobs up full

The Dormitories is apart of an annotated map that points there saying there's a group of survivors there. It marks the entire building as a weapon cache so there's a lot of extra weapon spawns throughout the building.
I m sure the dorm is a military dorm. Why is it I'm the middle of a town idk but here we are. Also I can't find a good reason to go this town. Between muldraugh and rosewood loot, base potential, and overall accessibility to other areas it's no reason for me to go. Still a good video.
Dorm has more weapons than the barracks. Yep thats 1993 for ya
No food markets there?
Isn't march ridge based off of a small military installation?
New player here, Do the zombies replenish or is there a finite number of them?
i think for apocalypse/ survival presets there is a low respawn rate set but im just getting back into the game since i played it in beta so im not certain.
when you create sandbox game modes you can change the respawn rate or turn it off, and im assuming the default setting is what the preset gamemodes use :D
@@seabisquit thanks for the reply.
