Pro Tips for Surviving the Funnel
- Divide and Conquer: Efficiency is key. Assign specific roles for scavenging parts versus defending the vehicle to minimize time spent in the storm’s path.
- Monitor the Environment: Because the destruction is physics-driven, pay attention to shifting debris; it can both block your path and provide unexpected cover.
- Resource Management: Prioritize the most critical components for the van first. The storm escalates over time, making later stages of the run significantly more dangerous.
