Some Tips

1. Let The Storyline Missions Guide You

Once you are free to do as you choose, which signifies the end of the tutorial, you should first click on the monitor icon at the left side of your screen to access your missions. Three will be available at one time and you are free to choose which one to prioritize based on what you feel you can accomplish faster. Each mission accomplished earns you rewards and completing all the missions on each chapter rewards you with a chest that offers much better rewards than the usual one you receive.

Storyline missions in Zero City typically revolve around finishing stages in the campaign, upgrading certain rooms in your shelter, or training dwellers. As these are what you would be usually doing anyway, following these missions is the most practical way to go. Don’t worry if you strayed a bit from it and decided to accomplish something a little ahead of time. Once the mission relative to that pops up, it will instantly be marked as accomplished and you can immediately claim your rewards.

Make it a habit as well to click on the storage icon just below the missions icon and proceed to the warehouse to open the chest you earn every time you beat a stage in the campaign. There is no benefit in keeping it idle and receiving equipment and resources from the chest at the soonest can help you progress faster in the game.

2. Keep Everyone And Everything In The Right Place

On top of all the action and adventure you will be immersing yourself into as you battle through mobs after mobs of undead in the story campaign, a huge chunk of your time and effort will go into managing the dwellers that live in your shelter and likewise managing the shelter itself. For the most part, first time players who haven’t played similar games before may take some time to the multitasking aspect of Zero City. Despite that, playing the game immensely will soon give you a clockwork procedure of how to go about everything that needs tending.

For starters, your dwellers ought to be your top priority. Each dweller has unique stats and are initially better suited for one thing over another. Although you can train each one to eventually improve their stats, it is naturally more efficient to work with what you already have considering as well that you will only be able to train dwellers for strength improvement in the early stages of the game.

Dwellers have unique stat values for combat ability, cooking skills, and financial acumen. These are all that is necessary for your dwellers and shelter to survive and progress. Naturally, combat skills are important for battles you engage in and it would be best to have each of your warriors be trained to the fullest before you traverse the map and battle with zombies. Dwellers with higher than average cooking skills belong to the dining hall and those that are good with numbers, as indicated by the higher than usual number beside the calculator icon on their stats, should be assigned at the print shop. As you begin to reach new levels later on, more stats will become available but by then you will know where to put dwellers that excel on those stats.

On their own, these dwellers won’t be able to make that much big of an impact on their assigned jobs and you will need to put the right set of equipment as well on each one of them. Fighters have a variety of sets to choose from in Zero City. From melee and ranged, there is another option that becomes available pretty early in the game, the chemist. Having the right equipment that augment specific damage types and streamline buffs is key to having strong fighters and a more dependable field team.

For support roles such as the cooks and moneymakers, equipment practically works the same way as it does on your combatants. Be sure to read through each equipment description and equip the right gear on the right dweller. Although stats may not tremendously impact production, the gears that do so require a minimum level of specific stats for dwellers to be able to use them. There won’t be any shortages of gears, though, so do spend some time browsing through your inventory for the best set of gears for each dweller you have.

It may happen that some dwellers you take into the shelter have equal proficiency across all their stats. In such cases, decide to put them where you need people the most. As you will be playing a while with only the gym available, make the most of it by training dwellers to boost their combat ability. If you can, switch people to spend time on the gym as training will take a long time later in the game and you would want to have back up field warriors to be able to play through campaign stages at any given time.

Cash and food are capped by the vault and refrigerator that you have in your shelter. Although both resources are constantly used for upgrades and battle respectively, you should avoid either depleting them or having them reach the maximum amount that you can hold. These can be dealt with easily by allocating the right number of people across roles. This means that relative to unique stat attributes, you will constantly have to consider what your shelter needs to allocate your dwellers.

3. A Good Shelter Layout Can Boost Productivity

Like in the loosely similar games that came before it, rooms in Zero City can often be merged to form a bigger and more productive room. Although this feature was costly in the other game, you can freely do this in the game at absolutely no cost. For starters, you don’t need to worry about which room goes where as you can always shuffle them later on for a more productive shelter.

As you wait to earn more money to initiate a room upgrade or training to finish and at the same time still won’t be able to engage in campaign battles, you should spend some time clearing debris at the right side of your screen. These may appear as random things but you need to spend a small amount of cash to destroy them and leave a clear space for your future rooms or room extensions. As most rooms can be merged up to 3 rooms wide, expect this for the most basic ones and start rearranging rooms on your idle time.
