Bases

From Zombiepedia

[edit] Introduction

Your base is one of the most important factors when trying to survive a zombie outbreak. Deciding what type of base to use will be based on a range of things, including group size, specific individual and group needs, and threat level. A good base should be easy to defend with clear lines of sight, contain sufficient supplies, and should be able to provide shelter and support for the entire group. There are specific factors depending on the type of building selected, and as illustrated by the links below certain advantages and disadvantages are inherent in the type of building or facility selected:

• City Halls
• Farm House
• Homes
• Hospitals
• Office Blocks
• Police Stations
• Prisons
• Schools
• Supermarkets
• Churches or places of Religious Worship
• Castles
• Military Bases
• Offshore Oil Rigs
• Warehouses
• Subway Systems

Ideally, survivors should search for and fortify locations with as few ground-floor windows and entrances as possible. Also, there should be a second, isolated floor to retreat to in case the first floor becomes compromised. The building should be just large enough for your needs; the point being to have an area difficult for zombies to be in undetected. Consider a location that is away from major human or ghoul activity, so as to avoid attracting other, possibly violent survivors and the ghouls who pursue them. There should always be at least two escape plans, including where the survivors will regroup and potentially, a secondary base stocked with emergency supplies.
