Been playing this for a month or so now - for me find the novice level difficult enough. Really enjoying the game - on my current run actually made it to a second island (I know pretty rubbish!) found a fortified army post which proved to be useful re grabbing some decent ammo and weapons. Also on this run come across some friendlies that have offered to keep look-out while I loot - only problem is I been shot by each of them (I was blocking their line of sight) no problem had plenty of bandages. General question has anyone built their own defensive base (with fences etc) I tend to stick to the roads - hunker down at night in buildings and travel during the day.
