Dayglow Attack Plan

So you want to hit Dayglow because you heard about the top-tier loot there, including Implants and APA. Okay, but you need a plan...

Dayglow is a PvP location with full "loot drop". Your gear all drops in a pile where you die and is left behind as you go recover at a respawn location. Don't think you can return there empty-handed and run back into Dayglow, pick up your gear really fast and easily get out with it. Instead, have a Tent nearby with ready piles of gear, so you can go back into Dayglow armed again. Maybe you can get your gear back then.

This page will attempt to help you get started.

THE BASICS

Try to get the following things all set up in advance:

• A team you can trust. Ha! Good Luck with that, but if you're able to meet trustworthy people, then you just took the hardest step. You can be very successful with only 3 people on your Dayglow Assault Team, and having 4 people makes it much faster. Since the goal is to cycle the footlocker there as often as you can to get the best loot, doing this quickly is likely important to you.

• Each team member needs to have a strong fighter with an effective build. Some of the team has to do high damage, and most of the team must withstand high damage. Ideally, you may come up with a build optimized for Dayglow specifically, which will likely have high resistance to [[|Radiated|radiation]] and Mr. Fixit.

• One shared Tent or Base nearby. The closer to Dayglow, the better, where your team can hang out and chat between attacks. This is much better than using Radios if you don't want PvP apes showing up. It is strongly suggested that you do not use this shared location as a parking place or loot drop location, no matter how much you trust your teammates. Accidents happen, so keep valuable stuff at an unshared tent.

• One unshared Tent nearby, per team member. The closer to Dayglow, the better. This is where you stash your portion of the loot your team gets. It's also where you park your car, which looks identical to many other vehicles in this world. This is why you need to park in an unshared place, so your friends don't accidentally drive away in the wrong car. This is also where you keep piles of the following:
  • Spare armor in good condition.
  • Spare guns in good condition.
  • A large cache of ammo.
  • A large cache of combat drugs (Buffout, Nuka-Cola, Psycho, Beer, Jet)
  • A large cache of radiation meds (Rad-X and Radaway
  • Some Super Tool Kits for doing good repairs to your best gear

• An attack plan that everyone understands.

TIPS

• It's best to use voice chat, but not everyone likes that. If you use Radios, the usual way is to choose a weird channel, so your communication is not heard on channel zero. However, consider that when you die, you lose your radio, and enemy sneakers will get your loot pile and learn your "secret" channel. So maybe it's best to go ahead and use channel zero, but agree in advance on using some code-words so nobody listening on channel zero can easily tell where you are or what you're doing.
