Last Day on Earth: Survival Guide: Tips, Tricks & Strategies to Become an Ace Survivor

1. Master The Basics

Last Day on Earth: Survival starts you off on a small parcel of land with a makeshift shelter that comes with some furniture, some of which still needs fixing or finalization, surrounded by land littered with an unlimited supply of basic resources. There will be literal arrows that point to where you need to go and what you need to interact with.

The initial minutes of your journey will serve as an introduction to Last Day on Earth: Survival’s world and will expectedly involve activities that will soon form part of your routine. Starting with the old, worn-down pick-up where you can obtain some basic materials, you will be able to go through some basic crafting and will have the basic tools you need to chop down trees and break down boulders.

Of course, your new shelter will also have its share of zombies to greet you more appropriately to the new world and you should at least have a taste of taking it down with your bare fist or a basic weapon.

Zombies can sometimes drop items like ropes which is a very useful crafting ingredient, especially at the start of your adventure. There will also be a deer within your camp that you can take down. This is where you will learn to use the stealth approach, which makes it a lot easier to approach targets and slay them with a melee weapon.

The introductory session comes close to an end when you are asked to follow the dog, which takes you to the global map where you can head on to your next gathering destination. This will introduce you to Last Day on Earth: Survival’s map and energy system.

Traveling to and from your home can be done basically through walking or running. Walking takes some time but will not consume energy. Running lets you travel in seconds which would take you minutes to accomplish via walking. This will, however, consume energy. Energy has a cap and replenishes over time, so make it a point to not let it go to waste by keeping it at max value.

You will only be able to visit a couple of locations at first from the world map but even at the initial moments of your journey, you can already scan just how big the entire map is when you unlock everything. Locations have colored indicators as well as skull ratings when you click on them. Green areas are the easiest and Yellow ones are at mid-difficulty. Be sure to avoid red ones (3 skulls) as a beginner as these can be too challenging even for experienced survivors.

2. Keep Tabs On Health, Hunger, And Thirst

Although technically still part of the basics, Last Day on Earth: Survival banks heavily on the survival aspect of its gameplay. As a survivor, not only do you have to pay attention to your health but also your hunger and thirst levels. By default, you will already have a meat drier lodged just at the entrance of your home, and hunting deer will form part of the introductory tasks, giving you access to raw meat.

A few levels up later and you will unlock a blueprint for a rain catcher. This will be your everlasting source of water at home. At this point in your adventure, you should have picked up a bottle of water or two, and consuming it to quench your thirst will leave an empty bottle in your bag. The empty bottle is very important as this can be replenished via the rain catcher.

Meat and water stand only as the most basic sustenance but there are plenty of other food types you can gather and harvest as well as some that you can prepare via cooking. Some food types can increase food and water levels simultaneously. A garden bed will also be primarily available to you at the start of your journey and you can plant seeds there that will grow fruits and vegetables over time.

There are plenty of ways to obtain these necessities but it can sometimes be easy to forget just how fast you can consume them. Be sure to make a habit of stocking up on both food and drinks over any other resource as you will never run out of a need for them.

Being low on either food or water will have adverse effects and after some time of being too hungry or thirsty, your health will start to deteriorate. In addition to a weapon on hand before leaving your shelter, food, water, and health kits are among the most basic items you should have with you.

Keep in mind that having both food and water at decent levels can still make every adventure outside your shelter have risks involved. Add that to worrying about going hungry, thirsty, or both can make the experience folds more challenging.

In addition to going hungry and thirsty, Last Day on Earth: Survival also employs various factors that contribute to necessities and survival. You will also have to provide yourself with a shower as going through adventures one after another will lead to accumulating odor that attracts the undead as well as wild animals.

You probably never needed a shower in any of the survival adventures you have been on so this will take some time to get used to. In addition to the makeshift shower you build, each shower you take will require 2 bottles of water as well.

Let us not forget the need for bio breaks as well as all that eating and drinking naturally lead to a need to excrete some waste. Although there is no need for bowel movements, you will occasionally need to urinate in Last Day on Earth: Survival.

A toilet icon will let you know when the time comes and you can do it anywhere outdoors. If you keep holding it in, you will not be able to do much and movement will be tremendously slowed down. A proper restroom can be crafted at a later point in time although we have yet to confirm its advantages over just going anywhere.

Finally, Last Day on Earth: Survival also employs night and day shifts as well as changing weather conditions. Sometimes, if the weather can be too cold and some regions make it even colder. Take extra care in these instances especially if you do not have warm-weather clothes.

Likewise, there are also toxic elements you will encounter in your adventure and like extreme cold, this can negatively impact your health as well. Higher-level clothing can come with protection from this along with other harmful elements you will encounter.

3. Follow The Stories & Missions

Last Day on Earth: Survival does not just throw you into a post-apocalyptic world where everything simply revolves around gathering and survival. You will come to discover that there is hardly any monotony or routine in your regular activities especially when you are pursuing campaign quests or missions.

It may be a little challenging to notice early on, but the game has a narrative. Last Day on Earth: Survival has a story campaign that just does not introduce you to new characters and locations, but also takes you through the numerous activities and features to partake in its world.

You will always see the current mission on the left side of the screen but you can see the bigger picture by clicking on the icon at the upper right side of your screen. Last Day on Earth: Survival’s campaign is divided into Acts, which are further subdivided into chapters. Each chapter is comprised of several missions with some missions made up of several tasks as well. Completing a mission earns you valuable rewards on top of whatever items and necessities you pick up while pursuing tasks on those missions.

Accomplishing tasks and pursuing missions will typically have you moving from one location to another. In this sense, it becomes important to learn how to manage your energy. Even with a cap of 200, energy can quickly be depleted if you always choose to run from one location to the next. Strategizing travels in line with the work you need to perform back at camp should quickly become a habit to make.

You can expect that there will be gaps between pursuing tasks or missions in line with the story campaign. There are the usual gathering tasks you need to perform to ensure that you are more than prepared for whatever challenges await you outside of your camp.

Likewise, there will also be plenty of time-limited special events that you should take advantage of, and with limited yet continuously replenishing energy being a major limiter, you will have to juggle through these activities as efficiently as possible.

Now, you stand as a survivor. Irrespective of your past identity or origins, welcome to this brutal new world...
