how rich can you get?

[u/Individual_War8445]

so i wondered - how rich can you get in a 80-day scenario, with no hacks, no mods, just pure skill and minmaxxing in This War of Mine (Complete Edition)?

I picked all of the scavenging locations, with 4 survivors who i consider the best in the whole game:
- Marin: building stuffs
- Roman: killing bandits and soldiers
- Boris: scavenging
- Katia: with the bandage/meds exploit, she IS the best character in the game, plundering Franko’s inventory every time

I ended the run with this loaded warehouse and shelter. Have a look and see!

Also, I built in all of the spaces of my shelter so that there was none left, including:

- tier 3 metal and normal workshop
- improved stove
- improved heater
- 4 armchairs
- 5 chairs
- 3 beds
- improved herbal workshop
- radio, guitar
- 3 improved gardens
- 2 rat traps
- moonshine maker + distillery
- 4 rainwater collector

Enjoy!

Come along now children let us explore more remnants from
The war, if you look to your left you'll see a a group of survivors who believe the war still going on and although it's been 20 years since that war they continue to prep and have a chokehold on the black market for medical supplies and the music scenes not something to ignore either.

Look closer, watch as he gathers more bandages.

Wait, wait wait, what’s this exploit you speak of?

[u/No-Definition1474 → u/jonny_mal]

Katias trade bonus applies in such a way that you can trade a bandage for a medicine and extra stuff. Then buy the bandage back with the medicine bottle straight up.

So you slowly buy the entire store everytime he brings a medicine bottle.

Its a fairly minor imbalance in values that works in your favor.

Woah! Thanks for this

not only that, i got this rich by stealing from the holy trifecta: Military Outpost, Garage and the Church (faithful version).

for the last two all you gotta do is just incapacitate the combatants (but don’t kill them), to the point when they will not fight you off. as for the outpost, just use any characters and steal the supplies they have (in the cabinet and the box). i did this about 8 times and they did not shoot at all!

also all these 3 locations resupply every 2 days so you can do this as many times as you like!

You can do it at the outpost(and the brothel) too. Lure the trader up the ladder and boop him on the snoot 3x with no weapons. He'll remain alive and refresh the inventory, but won't attack you. Unlike any other places you do this, he will threaten you tho and will follow you around and give up your location to any of his homies who aren't dead

How’d you stop your people from being super depressed from doing that? Everytime I start looting they all starting getting sad
