Hello All Survivors!

Today we’ll be looking at the places on the map that we currently cannot get to and what they could possibly add or mean to the game. This is mostly going to be conjecture (yes I know big words, me smart) but I think it’ll be at least worth looking into and exploring. This is something that I would also like your opinions on, so feel free to leave a few comments at the end of the blog!

There are quite a few places that are actually shown on the map that we can’t get to, stop teasing us you naughty Devs! But I am sure that as the updates keep slowly trickling through, we’ll get further access to them. One thing that I was informed about recently (thanks to @EliteReborn on reddit) is that when you tap on a location that you cannot reach, in the bottom right hand corner it states “Transport Required.” If you tap on this it will take you to the Crafting Screen and show you what transport you need to build to be able to get there. For Bunker Charlie you will need the Helicopter and to be able to reach the Zones across the river, you’ll need the ATV. This is something that I didn’t know until recently. (See, I’m not the god of LDOE, I am a mere mortal like you and still learning!)

There are two identical (as far as I can tell) places on the map that we can’t get to on the map yet, The Watchtower! These appear to be locations with a bit of loot and resources, however their main function is to allow more access to the map! If you tap on one of them, there is a small bit of blue writing that states “Visit a watchtower to unlock vision in this sector.” Now it seems like they are going all Assassin’s Creed on this shit and you have to unlock more of the map by going here. I doubt you’ll have to scale the tower and commune with an eagle to do it, but who knows! I think that when the Devs are going to be updating the game further, they’ll chuck a Watchtower to the far East of the map so that we can unlock more. I’m not exactly sure why they have decided to make the towers glow an luminous green colour; maybe its covered in Kryptonite? Maybe there’s a shit tonne of Uranium there? Maybe Slimer has exploded and covered the whole thing in Ectoplasm?? We’ll never know until we have access. To be honest, I’d be happy with any of my ideas to be implemented.

The next Zones on the map that we can’t get to just yet are the Oak Bushes and the Oak Grove. These are pretty much going to be the same as the Pine locations but, surprise surprise, will be Oak instead! I know right, who would have thunk it! I’m assuming that this in turn may bring along new enemies as well as stronger ones. It only makes sense that as you level up and have access to better vehicles etc, that the zones scale in difficulty. But then again, they already have the “Grading” of zones with Green, Orange and Red.

The final place that we can see on the map but can’t quite reach is the “Pump Jack” (hehe, funny name again.) Now this is an interesting and mysterious zone that I have no real idea on how it will function. Firstly you’ll notice that it has a Red Plumbus (The blamfs rub against the chumbles. And the ploobis and grumbo are shaved away.) floating above it. When you tap on the Pump it says that “You need to join a Clan to enter this place” and the threat is showing ??? as well as the loot. There are a few resources to get here but nothing else to be had. This is all speculation, but, I am guessing that this will be used as some kind of “Battleground” where you meet up with rival clans to fight one another. The Loot that you get will be what is dropped by the other players or there may be some kind of reward system for the winner of the fight. There is one other way it may function and it could be a style of “King Of The Hill” where a Clan owns the location and others can challenge it if they think they are tough enough. (Similar to Pokémon Go Gyms. Remember that game? That was awesome for 1 month). But with the way that the location is described and set out, I can’t really think of any other function that it may have. Let me know your ideas, thoughts and go wild with your imagination on what it could possibly involve!

Thanks once again for reading, I am always surprised on how many people have been reading my blog and it’s a nice feeling. Like eating a massive bar of chocolate whilst lying on the beach and a hot naked lady fanning you with a giant feather. Well, maybe not that nice. Good luck Pumping your Jack!
