(Part 2): 6) If you got said Bowgun (maybe reforge it a few times), slap on an auto fire lvl 2+ mod, as well as 2 fire rate lvl 3 and 1 damage lvl 2+ mod. Don't waste said mods, keep them stored if you find them too early. This will carry you through the whole game easily. 7)Regarding your allies, just pick what you like - I got a sniper, militia with leeching gravity gun and noble with a laser pistol. 8)After some time upgrade the villa and party every day (at days 70+). 9)Last but not least: Always keep a Grail of Jure ready, just in case you get surprised by an exploder wave or sth. like that.
Finally finished day 100 on hardcore (with 46 perfect days). Few words of advice (Part 1): 1)You can zoom in pressing "strg" and "+". 2)Essential: Rack up loads of medals on casual mode (+mods). This took me 2 runs (until day 40 and 80). 3)I preferred the Hunter (comfy class, no need for extensive aiming). Max out Engineer and Cripple Shot early on, while slowly levelling Bow Master, too. Make sure that someone in your group maxes Active, Breeder and maybe Cook. 4) In the early game, focus on getting your business going (museum lvl 1 & chickens - it's sufficient to have a total of 100+) 5)At 20-40 days, you should look out for a Bowgun at your current rifle level with 4+ modding slots. If you are badly out of luck and don't find one, wait for a day when you have lots of AP and refresh the smithies stock. If you still don't find one, refresh the page without saving and try again. This takes some time, but will make it much easier in the long run.
