This War of Mine: the best tips and tricks
In this practical tip we tell you the best tips and tricks for the game "This War of Mine".
This War of Mine - Tip 1: Act correctly
Sometimes a dealer visits you at your accommodation. You can also trade in-game on the central marketplace as soon as you have unlocked this location. When trading, you should pay attention to the following things.
- Mark the item you want to trade with in your backpack.
- You then read the dealer's reaction to the item directly. This reaction varies depending on how searched the object is at the moment.
- If, for example, tobacco is scarce, you will read an enthusiastic reaction. This is also the right time to trade the object.
- In return, you can choose all sorts of items from the retailer's backpack.
- If you want to know in advance which items are scarce on the market, then build a radio and find out in advance.
This War of Mine - Tip 2: Loot with specific characters
Every now and then you have to send a person out of your group to loot at night. Here you should pay attention to the following.
- Your characters become depressed and desperate when they steal things, hurt or even kill innocent people.
- Move into the night with a character who can carry a lot. You can recognize the carrying volume by the backpack size of the character.
- Once you have visited a place, you will find that you cannot get to some areas. You need a saw for this. Return to the place again later - of course with the right item in your looter's luggage.
This War of Mine - Tip 3: Prepare for winter
Winter comes at some point in the game, and if you don't build a safe and warm shelter, it will be difficult for your characters to survive.
- So take precautions: Be sure to build a heater in good time so that you can maintain a good indoor temperature even in winter.
- You will lack water in winter. Look out the door of your shelter, there you will find snow that you can melt. So you can cook hot dishes even in winter.
- In winter you need a lot of wood to heat up. Unfortunately, the materials are becoming scarce throughout the area during this time. Above all, try to get the materials you need by trading.
This War of Mine - Tip 4: Cure diseases
Unfortunately, it is hardly avoidable. Your characters will get sick sooner or later.
- Try to cure them with antibiotics or herbs.
- However, you cannot cure mental problems in this way - a conversation helps here. One of your characters should talk to the sick person. To do this, highlight a person and then click on the speech bubble above the depressed person.
- You can also help your group members with food in the event of a serious illness. Characters can bring food to the sick person by clicking on the food symbol above the sick person.
- If you really can't get any antibiotics, the hospital will still help. Then send the sick person to the hospital at night as a "looter" and have the nurses take care of him there.
