I don't raid much. Initially I ought it was just inactive accounts with outposts set up when we could still lose trade goods in raids. I'm starting to think people are doing it to try to win defenses and get points. Either that or most accounts are inactive.

Hershelshead · November 2016

Stop making me read posts that don't make sense.

Felio · November 2016

Some people place defenders so that you cannot have a scout run to the box right after the gate is open. They block the path and demand to be murdered instead.

Dale · November 2016

Yes, some people do want their defense to win so they can get points. That's how some people play the game.

DLich · November 2016

I've made my trade goods extremely easy to attain yet people still kill my defenders. It's aggravating but it is what it is.

Since I only care that my influence remains above 3,000 so I can buy the 30 token offer (when it used to be offerred) otherwise it doesn't really bother me much.

But I agree I wish everyone would make their TG easily available AND those that attack them just grab the TG and go.

So, what's the strategy there? Have the scout grab the TGs and the whole team skedaddles back out the gate and fights walkers until time expires? How does that work, exactly?

Mabiki · November 2016

It's great when you can grab TGs without hospital time. I tried an outpost setup like that and people still attacked, forcing me to lose influence. I need my influence to maintain my tier, so now I set up the best defense I can. I dont begrudge anyone who wants to earn influence and move up tiers, but I dont want to lose mine, so I wont be filling my outpost with my unlevelled survivors.

If someone makes it easy to grab TG's and run, I usually will. But sometimes I like to fight. It makes outpost more fun, but the tradeoff is healing time.

@sborg
You take a Scout with you.. have another Team member open Gate (I take 2 Assaults) & then have the Scout run & open TG Box (make sure you have all moves available before opening Gate) & as soon as he/she opens Crate.. you press the Flee Button & then Complete. No Injury, No Influence Loss & you get the TG & Win the Raid

HTH

Edit: if your Scout can't reach the TG Box in one turn.. then Flee.. otherwise you will most certainly take on Injury ..unless you can Defeat the Defenders

If I can't reach the TG Crate in one "Scout Dash," I see if 2-3 visible defenders are blocking the way. I'll then try and stun them with my Assault. If I can get the stun, I'll run my Scout as close as possible to the TG Crate. If any non-stunned defenders don't attack the Scout, I can finish the dash without injury. But, that's pretty rare. I definitely flee if I can't get at least 2 of the defenders stunned.

MadPuppy · November 2016

When people block my way, I usually try to pinata their melons and get both TG and influence.

Serp · November 2016

If you want my TG's you gotta earn them!

KARAZIPKALI · November 2016

You are wellcome

Technically since the last update to outposts they are not yours

Aniel · November 2016

I don't understand, how is possible raiders are allowed to flee as soon as they want?

Once they open the door, they should be forced to finish it or be defeated, lot of times I didn't gain IP because they fled when they found out they would surely lose.

Raider should not be able to flee "at-their-pleasure" once they open the door without losing IF or TG, they are both surrounded ahead by survivors and back from walkers.
Defenders should be awarded with TG for each successful defense, not just IP.

Gladi · November 2016

Well, Im still in doubt if 3k+ influence is worthy to have or not, so unless it is really necessary, I dont go for influence and grab TGs only. When it is really not worthy(expected long hospital time), Im quitting after opening gate/finding out defenders setup, but usually I place my scout with interrupt weapon on overwatch close to melee defender and I try to stun rest with assault. Usually I grab TGs in 2nd or 3rd round and left 1 or 2 defenders alive. Cannot say Im 100% effective, but I grab about 95% of TG crates and 80%+ raids are without injury on my side. Running out of useful survivors on my side can happen only if both my scouts are in hospital and that is pretty seldom. With outpost production and personal challenge rewards(360stars) Im getting 60k+ TGs per week. And my outpost is defended with 3 meele chars lvl11 with TG crate in front...my defenders always murdered, ppl are just too greedy...

jota · November 2016

why do people care if we take the TG or not? it makes no sense, you don't lose anything when the TG is taken and you surely must like when you can get other player's TG and avoid hospital time.
TG has become a valuable commodity because it can be traded for tokens and weapons and at the same time it's rather rare and painful to get, Outposts is the best and fastest way to get them. My TG is at arms reach of any scout so take it and leave.

[mod edit: deleted last sentence because it was very rude]

MadPuppy · November 2016

Not everyone is required to play the game in one set way. If people want to actually defend their outpost that is their prerogative. It is certainly within the design of the game, and will hopefully be a challenge to anyone trying to raid that outpost.

Survivor420 · November 2016

In 3k tier i had 3 lvl 19 legendary defenders in my outpost. Sometimes would go a week without getting raided. Sometimes win defense killing attackers, sometimes they kill me, sometimes just taking trade goods and leaving. I read a post here bout not making it hard to get trade goods thought it sounded good. I put 3 lowest defenders in the corners of room on stationary. I was raided constantly every single attacker killing my Team every time. So i put back my thugs and have been raided twice since.

Top8dog · November 2016

I have spread my bruisers out as far away from the easily reachable by scout in one turn reward crate,.. Why are you still trying to attack my team lol,.. Most of you die trying,.. Just take the tg and leave,.. Or attack and pay hospital fees,.. Your choice,.. Lol

P.s @OneLessTitan respect for not attacking,.. Someone who knows a good freebie when he sees one

Serp · November 2016

@iozzeg they are my defenders protecting the TG's so they are mine! Mine! Mine! Those three survivors have 1 job and I'm afraid they will become disheartened if they are not allowed to fulfill their sole purpose!

srmcn1031 · November 2016

I have it set so people can easily get the tg crate, but they still go after my defenders. I guess some get gready. But it is what it is.

Top8dog · November 2016

Take the freebie,.... Attack and As negan would say

NOT COOL,.. I'll shut that shit down

DarkZero · November 2016

Yup...

Upstart44 · November 2016

Should come up with a consistent way to let people know that... like rename your defenders:
1. OnlyTake
2. TradeGoods
3. Please

Steeboon · November 2016

A couple of noob questions;
1) Do the raiders incur damage if they hit the flee button? Something like when you flee from challenges?
2) There used to be an official outpost thread but I can't seem to find it anywhere anymore. Has it been removed?
Thanks in advance!

Top8dog · November 2016

Can answer your first question,.. You won't receive damage but you may lose influence if you don't reach the tg reward box,... Somewhere between 8-19

Never seen the official thread sorry

JayZ · November 2016

@Top8dog You don't lose influence for not reaching the TG reward box. You only lose influence for not reaching the flag at the beginning.

Top8dog · November 2016

Really,... Sweet if I'd have known that I'd have saved some hospital time,.. Only just started playing raids,.. For new weapons,.. So basicly if someone's blocking my path I can run without damage,.. Cheers for that @JayZ

MizTy · November 2016

@Steeboon
I'm afraid Top Dog steered you wrong. Your survivors will not receive additional damage, nor will you lose influence if you Flee anytime after taking the flag in the first section of the map. (So no, it is not like the challenges).

JayZ · November 2016

@Top8dog No problem. Happy raiding!

Welcome.
