Re: Kill the biters

Only 20? :P Try the exoskeleton equipment in your power armor (you can place more than one to go even faster). You'll be fast enough to avoid getting hit by anything but the worms. Add in a couple fusion reactors and then pack the rest of the space with Energy Shield MK2s. Try the combat shotgun wi...

Re: How does the electricity system actually work?
