Field notes
- 01 · Recognize Commonfolk Visual Silhouettes: Commonfolk operatives wear worn brown civilian jackets, wool ushankas, and carry single-barrel or double-barrel shotguns like the TOZ-34.
- 02 · Undertake Civilian Logistics Contracts: Speak with community brokers like Anatoly to accept basic collection jobs: gathering clean tin cans, firewood, electrical wire, and spare cloth.
- 03 · Capitalize on Zhivan's 140% Common Scrap Rate: Commonfolk hardware vendor Zhivan pays a massive 140% multiplier for common classification scrap, making them your top liquidation partner.
- 04 · Procure Clean Food and Water Rations: Commonfolk quartermasters stock fresh canned beef, boiled water jars, and herbal tea that restore both hunger and hydration without radiation risk.
- 05 · Faction Defense Assistance: Commonfolk militia frequently engage stray Hellhounds around village perimeters. Assisting them in combat awards instant micro-reputation boosts.
- 06 · Avoid Aggressive Confrontations: Never discharge firearms inside central village perimeters. Harming Commonfolk turns settlement clinic physicians hostile, revoking medical triage services.
