Hi, I'm Sobek. This is a quick and dirty guide about the flying Zombie fister build, which in my opinion is a great start for new players.

This guide is WIP, please page or mail me ingame if you found any errors or have ideas.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Zombie is very low maintenance - you revive after most deaths, have great soaks+HP, don't have to worry about drowning or toxins and don't need to worry about trauma kits or food.
  • Your tohit and Wrestle skill will be very high - easily 47 tohit with Jawbreakers and 38 Wrestle unbuffed. You will quickly reach your maximum strength and be able to kill ants by yourself.
  • Flight allows you to travel (and explore) at your leisure. You don't have to worry about crashing planes or walking for ages. With Stench and Yeti Fur, neither the cold nor Chupacabras will mess with you.
  • Stench lets you walk past 90% of all enemies that would otherwise attack you.
  • Zombies can move through the Necropolis unhindered and are able to do the lucrative jobs both FCEF and Abom Nation offer.


Cons

  • You're dumb as a sack of bricks. You won't be able to craft/repair or revive players properly without a set of implants and/or heavy skill investment.
  • Your attack speed is a bit slow. This also makes you vulnerable to interruptions by stuns and grabs.
  • You won't be able to reach the high Focus and Dodge of Freak fisters.
  • You can't get healed by nanites or mediguns, making HP recovery pretty slow.


Character creation

Tags

  • Fists. Duh
  • Wrestle. Grab bootleggers, ants, security turrets, anything you can get your arms around, and smash it. Dangerous against players with high dodge.
  • Free skill. I tagged Medic so I'd be able to revive teammates and suture them.
  • Free skill. I tagged Scavenge so I can start cutting heads right away. Not neccessary, as Scavenge is extremely cheap and easy to increase.


Gymming

  • 14 Brawn. Max this out first.
  • 10 Endurance. Max out second.
  • 14 Reflexes. After Brw/Ref, bring it to 17.


Mutations

Mandatory:

  • Zombie
  • Stench: Stops most enemies from attacking you. Extremely useful while flying, as Chupacabras destroy new players.
  • Leapfrog: Prerequisite to Flight.
  • Flight: Never worry about getting places again. Board the planes of other players mid-air. Fly to the Skydock and molest sky raiders.
  • Brute Strength: With +3 Brawn and +1 Wrestle, this is an obvious choice.


Great choices:

  • Yeti Skin: With this, you won't have to worry about freezing to death while using Flight. You could also skip it and just wear warm clothes (parkas, fursuits) while in the air; it's a convenience mutation.
  • Billygoat: Much needed +End and the ability to munch heads within seconds.
  • Iron Liver: Being drunk with this gets rid of the very annoying revival sickness after you revive.
  • Fibrocartilage: Makes endocrine boosters more likely to succeed and raises your max. possible HP to a whopping 70.
  • Twitchy Nerves: +Ref helps with your awful attack speed.
  • Hooligan: +Wrestle. Headbutt can absolutely smash low Brawn enemies, but is unreliable in PvP.
  • Ripper: This is bit of a controversial choice - you will have +1 to Fists, but among other skills your Craft/Repair/Medic will tank and you will deal massive damage to yourself when trying to masturbate.
  • Writhing Smoke, Screech, Carrie: Screech and burn your enemy - minus 10/15 tohit is nothing to laugh at.


Readme

  • Don't grind skills, it will drain the fun out of the game and you will waste lots of time doing jack. With this build, you will have plenty of spare XP that you can invest in things like Medic.
  • Aim to get your Fists and Wrestle to 15 as soon as possible.
  • You can easily wear tire armor until you hit ants.
  • Even cheaper: 3x leather jacket+pants, 3x rusted pot, gas mask+2x hockey mask, combat boots, 2x heavy gloves or 2x lacrosse gloves.
  • Zombie basics: Unless healing, always aim to be at full hunger. Cut a ton of heads from orphans and stash them in your apartment's freezer.
